Sushi MAHANA is a counter-only omakase restaurant in North Vancouver, led by owner and head chef Yuki Aida. The seasonal tasting menu blends Edomae sushi with farm-to-table dishes, built around local, market-fresh ingredients and changing with the seasons.
The omakase starts at $159 per guest. Optional beverage pairings include a sake pairing, a premium sake pairing, and a cocktail pairing, allowing guests to tailor the meal beyond the standard menu. Chef Aida trained in Japan and later at Vancouver's Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts, and works alongside Grand Executive Chef Yubaco Kamohara, who is Michelin-recommended.
The restaurant is located at 175 3rd St W in North Vancouver and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 5:00 to 9:30 PM; it is closed Sunday and Monday. Seating is at the counter, which keeps the room intimate and the service focused on the chef's pacing rather than a large dining room.
Reservations are handled through Resy. Given the counter-only format and the chef-led seasonal menu, booking ahead is advisable, particularly for weekend dates or special occasions like anniversaries and birthdays, which the restaurant notes as common reasons guests visit.
