Rack of lamb was very good in terms of pricing and flavour.
For dessert, get the deep fried banana. Me and a friend tried the green tea mouse? And it was super bitter. Couldn't finish half of it.
Was very satisfied with the waiters and hostess on robson. Always checked up the table every few minutes. The lamb is actually better than I imagined.

Thanks for the feedback!
I just ordered the Lobster salad again and you are right it's missing something. We will work to re-tune the salad tonight!
Also the Green Tea Mousse will be re-evaluated tonight as well!

Miso Clam Soup was good, the clams were tasty and the soup was not overly salty. The other soup was disappointing in terms of the size of shrimp and shrooms. Nothing like the picture at all. Taste was pretty good as well. Liked the clam better.
Had both garden and sashimi salad. Nothing special here. The sashimi was decent but small and thin. You only got four pieces.
Takoyaki was delicious, and the salmon carpaccio was not bad. Nothing that screams wow at me.
Sushi entree was good. I had to pay a lot extra to get imperial rice. Had to add $7.50 to get it for the crunch munch roll (forced to upgrade to 8 pcs) and 0.25 per piece of nigiri. The sashimi was average but I did enjoy the crunch munch roll. Not quite worth the $12.95 tag.
Yakiudon was an absolute delight. No complaints here. Seasoned well with good flavors had me wanting more. The sushi had me craving Sushi California since Ebisu's wasn't all that great tasting.
Had ice cream tempura and regular green tea ice cream. I liked the green tea better. The tempura was soft and under was vanilla ice cream. Coma inducing. Comes with chi plate driZzle, whipped cream, and strawberries. The green tea ice cream was your standard, with whipped cream and mint with a strawberry.
Was it worth the $28 per person? No, you are paying for them taking away your plate after each tiny, clean meal, and for their decent water/tea service.
If you are wanting imperial rice sushi, go try some at sushi California. Ebisu is nothing special when it comes to sushi, and over priced as well. Go here for their happy hour and late night. You may still be disappointed with portion sizes as my friend was the other time we went. Other than that, I think the only reason I was stuffed is because I basically had 1.5 of a dine out.

Thanks for this review too! I will pass this on to the Broadway manager there to tweak!
But honestly, in my personal opinion, recommending Sushi California is like a low-blow haha, is this the one just east of Cambie?... I went there once and almost threw up eating the Chirashi Don. The fish was definitely not fresh, possibly reflected in the pricing. Might have been just that day but I can't possibly recommend Sushi California over Ebisu.
For straight up sushi I would suggest Kishimoto (Commercial Dr.), Hanako (Surrey)
