Traditional and new? Yes we have them both.



Established in 1976, Kamei Royale was the first Japanese restaurant to introduce the now famous BC Roll and various original sushi dishes found in Vancouver. Presenting the largest counter-top sushi bar and an exhilarating Robata grill showcasing the chef's skills.



Kamei Royale has renovated and renewed itself again in 1990. Bringing forth a brand new bar lounge and Tatami rooms the massive floor space can easily accommodate up to 200 tour groups. Also, with the karaoke lounge now bustling, everyone can enjoy our popular drinks and dishes while singing away to the latest songs ranging from every corner of the planet!

    My friends and I had an amazing experience here! The sushi here was great and the food came to us fairly quickly. The staff were active in making sure we had what we needed and they were super friendly as well! It was my friend’s birthday and they brought him out a dessert as a treat and he really appreciated it! After we finished up around 8:45, we realized that they had karaoke later in the night so we left and came back for it and it was so much fun. Everyone here was so kind and inviting, my friends and I are noting Kamei Royale as a spot to come back to in the future!

    Kamei is one of our go-to sushi spots in town. The food is always great and we love the spot. Unfortunately, this time, our experience was interrupted a number of times by a very loud blender at the bar (which dominates the one side of the restaurant). I would suggest moving the blender behind a wall somewhere if possible as it really detracts from an otherwise enjoyable dining experience.

    Family Christmas Eve dinner was great. We had a nice quiet booth and the staff were very friendly and considerate of my wife's gluten allergy. The food was good and reasonably priced. We will definitely go again when we are back visiting Vancouver.
