Hate it. Horrible sushi, overpriced and terrible service. Amongst the worst sushi in Kits, stay away unless you're only going for a the cheesy "atmosphere" and your date is a Japanese exchange student who love anime and tokyo pop!

Personal favorites are
-Chambar (best mussels)
-Glowbal and the rest of the Glowbal Group places (Coast, Italian Kitchen, Tratoria etc.) Consistent and fairly well priced.
-Vij's (No reservations and always a wait. Put your name down, go to the back have some drinks and eat some free tasters. Make the wait part of the date)

And my local go to's in Kits which are good date spots are:
-Flying Tiger
-Abigails Party
-Watermark
-New Bohemian (25% of bottles of wine on Monday/Tuesday. Fairly quiet and intimate)
A good ocean front walk with good food nearby is a fail proof date. All good spots for a post dinner drink too, if you decide to eat sushi or something else near by.

Just remembered 2 more:
-Seasons in the Park (great view & in Queen E Park. Great dinner/walk in the park combo)
-Diamond in Gastown: Great selection of classic coctails, nice view of the classic brick/cobblestone gastown charm from 2nd floor looking over it.
