the place to do this is in vancouver at Shabusen. Just went there for like the 15th time this weekend (before heading up to whistler). All you can eat sushi (sashimi + nigiri + rolls), japanese food (gyoza, tempura, agedashi tofu, etc, etc), and korean bbq (beef, shortribs, spicy pork, spicy mutton, etc) ... all this for $20 canadian.

How is sushi in Vancouver so cheap? My gf and I went up there a couple of weeks ago and ate at Samurai - the bill was $32 Canadian including biru for me, and neither of us is a slouch at sushi consumption. The average place around Seattle runs us $50+ USD.

Anyway, still waiting for my opportunity - not going to engorge myself like that in front of the gf, and my best sushi friend just lost his job. I have a friend that wants to do omakase at Mashiko, so maybe I'll parlay that into consumption of mass quantities.
