Hakone sushi is located hidden inside a mall complex near Coquitlam Centre. If you didn’t know where to look you wouldn’t know it was there. It turns out that quite a few people DO know about Hakone sushi because it was packed when we got there.
Hakone sushi menu
Hakone sushi isn’t a purely Japanese restaurant. They actually offer Korean dishes as well so you can have a bit of both or whatever you’re craving.
Korean chirashi don
We decided to get the Korean chirashi don because we were curious about it. Plus, we saw a lot of people getting it so that means we had to try it right?
A few minutes after we ordered our food, a mountain of rice with a drizzle of sesame oil came to our table.
We were confused at first until another mountain of food came. This was the other half of the chirashi don and included salmon, tuna, snapper, spicy tuna, massago, and lots of veggies.
Once everything came, we mixed everything in the giant bowl with the rice. This was the funnest part about the whole thing because I love mixing my food together to make it look super colourful! This dish was believe it or not…$13 and it was definitely enough for 2 people!
Sushi rolls
We also got two rolls to try because we came for sushi so we might as well order some rolls! We got the avocado cucumber roll ($3) and the chicken teriyaki roll ($4). The pricing was quite cheap considering sushi pricing in Coquitlam.
The chicken teriyaki roll came with unagi (eel) sauce which confused me because I kept thinking I was eating eel except it was chicken….so I mostly ate the avocado cucumber roll. The rolls were on the thinner side but we didn’t mind because by this time were were already so full from the korean chirashi don.
