Omakase at Ebizo

A decades-loved Broughton Street sushi bar where two counter seats and the word 'omakase' is all the plan you need.

The date

Ebizo has no neon and no interest in impressing you with any, just a small Broughton Street room that's quietly turned out excellent fish for decades. Take the two counter seats, say 'omakase,' and surrender the evening, or run your own hits of rainbow roll and unagi. It's calm enough that you'll actually hear every word your date says. That's the trick.

How to do it

Take two seats at the counter of this decades-loved Broughton Street bar and say the magic word, 'omakase', to let the chef run the show (or play your hits: rainbow roll, unagi, repeat). It's calm and unflashy, exactly right for actually hearing each other, so budget about 90 minutes. Closed Sundays and Mondays, so check the day; downtown Victoria's right outside when you surface, unrushed and well-fed.
