Jun Sushi has been one of Kitsilano’s favourite sushi spots for more than 15 years. The menu features standard rolls and appetizers alongside some chef’s specialties such as the Vancouver Roll stuffed with prawn and yam tempura, with mango and avocado on top. The signature Jun Special roll (available in a half or full order) is a meaty marvel with tuna, salmon, scallop, crabmeat, oshinko, avocado, cucumber and fish roe. The restaurant delivers from 5:00 pm onwards and will do it for free within a five-kilometer radius of its Broadway location.
