Sushi Hyun

Sushi Hyun is an omakase sushi counter at 795 Jervis Street in Vancouver's West End, British Columbia, Canada, and holds one star in the 2026 Michelin Guide. Its chef, Juhyun Lee, won the Michelin Young Chef Award in 2025, a recognition given to rising talent, which has drawn considerable attention to this small restaurant. The meal is omakase, meaning the chef selects and sequences every course, usually beginning with lighter fish and building toward richer pieces, with sushi pressed and served one piece at a time over seasoned rice. The signature offering is the omakase sushi itself, and the specific fish change with the season and what is available, combining Pacific seafood with imported Japanese selections. The room is built around the counter, so guests sit facing the chef and are served directly, which gives the evening an intimate, attentive character. The atmosphere is calm and refined, voices are kept low, and dress is smart casual to dressy. Beverage choices typically include sake, Japanese tea and a limited wine selection, and pairings are worth asking about when reserving. A meal costs about CAD 200 to 400 per person, excluding drinks and gratuity, placing it among the pricier dining experiences in the city. Seats are limited, and with the star and the Young Chef Award both in the public eye, reservations are strongly recommended, with weekend dates best booked several weeks ahead. The restaurant's website lists its current booking method and cancellation policy. The West End is a dense residential neighbourhood close to English Bay, Davie Street and Robson Street, and is easily reached on foot or by bus from downtown.
