About
Sushi Bar Maumi is one of Vancouver's most quietly authoritative Japanese sushi experiences. Chef-owner Maumi Ozaki, born in Japan with over 33 years of professional sushi experience, runs this small Robson Street counter alongside his wife. The restaurant's commitment to Edo-Mae authenticity is expressed through a strict policy on reservations, seating, and conduct—measures that allow the kitchen to deliver the precise, unhurried experience the cuisine demands. Fish is imported from Japan five times per week to ensure the same quality Ozaki would expect in his home country. Globe and Mail coverage and strong word-of-mouth from Vancouver's Japanese community have cemented its reputation as one of the city's truest expressions of traditional Japanese sushi.
