Sushi Bar Shu sits on Granville Street in Marpole, a compact counter-only room opened in 2018 by chef Hyunki Shin. Shin spent 18 years training under notable names both locally and in Japan before building a menu rooted in Edomae technique and seasonal pairing logic.
Service is split between a weekend-only lunch and a nightly dinner omakase. Lunch runs 75 minutes and includes eight pieces of nigiri, one maki, a mini rice bowl, tamago, and mini udon for $88, with uni and chawan mushi available as add-ons. Dinner offers two tiers: the Sakura course at $108 (eight nigiri, maki, rice bowl, handroll, tamago, udon) and the Matsu course at $208, which adds a chef's choice sashimi tasting, more nigiri, and dessert. Caviar, bafun uni, and A5 Miyazaki wagyu can be added to either dinner course.
Seating is limited to the sushi bar, and every diner at the counter must order an omakase meal rather than à la carte. The restaurant does not accept walk-ins, so reservations are required in advance, made by phone. Cancellations or changes need three days' notice; otherwise the full course price is charged per person, and the same applies to no-shows or late arrivals beyond 30 minutes.
The dress code is smart casual, the menu is available in English, and the room asks guests to skip strong perfume, keep conversation moderate, and leave children under 12 at home. Sushi Bar Shu is closed Monday and Tuesday, with dinner service Wednesday through Sunday and lunch added on Saturday and Sunday.
