Located not too far from my home is this hidden gem FusionCore Japanese Eatery. This establishment is takeout only and not too many people know about it. It is a little hard to find since it is located in a plaza with limited parking. This restaurant itself is really small with just enough space for a cash register and a kitchen. There are no tables at this location but they receive a fair amount of UberEats and DoorDash orders.
Earlier this year, my girlfriend and I tried out this restaurant for the first time. For our order, we had a variety of different Nigiri, Uni, and Salmon Oshi. We had 15 pieces of different Nigiri which consisted of Salmon, Tuna, Ebi (prawn), Hokkigai (surf clam), Uni, Scallops, and a couple seared items. Our favourite item was the Uni Nigiri as this is a seafood item both me and my girlfriend enjoy.
Compared to a previous blog where I rated my top 5 Must Try Sushi Restaurants in Vancouver, it is a little on the pricier end. Personally, I would rate this restaurant a 7.5 out of 10. A lot of the items that we wanted to order were out of stock, and it was a little confusing on how to order in the store. In addition, the higher price point may have deducted from our experience since it was a takeout only establishment. For the amount of food that we got, it worked out to be around $90 after tip for my girlfriend and I. However, I was very impressed with the quality of ingredients and menu variety for this restaurant.
The nice thing about ordering takeout is that you can bring it home and have a relaxing night, or go to a scenic viewpoint and enjoy both the sunset and the food. Although it may not be a restaurant we would frequent, I’m glad we tried it. It is somewhere we would probably go again if we want fresh Uni.
