This place is probably my most favorite Japanese place in Burnaby. They are usually packed so I'm used to the line-ups but it was to my surprise that it wasn't exactly hustle and bustle on a Saturday night. Normally when you venture in, you'll have to write your name on the whiteboard to reserve your spot. If you're standing outside, they will come out and call your name which is great. The decor is that of your run-of-the-mill sushi joint. The place is also better suited for small groups unless you plan on going during non-peak hours.
It's a rather small restaurant but it's not cramped. Parking is also an ease with the street and neighbouring school parking.
I presume most of the waitresses are in high school and are mostly Korean but there are Chinese too. I usually get great service here which can probably be attributed to my being Chinese but looking kinda Korean. Don't expect to be waited on hand and foot, but so long as you put up your hand, be patient and understanding, you'll get everything you want.
The restaurant is also Korean owned so the sushi is Korean style which I absolutely have no problem with so long as it tastes great.
The main differences between Korean style sushi and Japanese style sushi are:
- Japanese style consists of the basic ingredients and takes a minimalistic approach whereas Korean style is packed with vegetables and meat and looks very colorful and flamboyant.
- Japanese style is dipped in wasabi while Korean style is dipped in sesame oil.

Sushi Town offers a great deal of value and the quality of the food is always good. Staple eats are the spicy tuna sashimi and the awesome roll . My only complaint is the wait . Sometimes I'm so hungry that I just want to erase the names of the people in front of me.
