The green tea was excellent. Not watery like most other places, and actually tastes like good green tea. Had a slight sweet and dry aftertaste.

Ordered the..
Prawn tempura (good batter and wasn't fried for too long)
Butter Salmon Teriyaki (soso, was a slight bit salty, but the texture of the salmon was decent)
Assorted Sashimi (very fresh and pretty good portion size)
Chirashi Don (decent portion, variety was good. Sashimi was fresh, and a lot of ikura / salmon roe)

I'd go again if I were in the area. The price vs quality was overall balanced.
They moved to this new location as that corner of Alberni/Thurlow is gonna be come Bentall V
