Vancouver has exactly one place on the list so far: Sumibiyaki Arashi, honored by Canada's 100 Best.
-
Rank 1. Sumibiyaki Arashi
Yakitori Japanese
A lantern outside, a curtain to slip past, and fourteen seats at a Douglas fir counter where the binchōtan grill is the whole point. Sumibiyaki Arashi is a yakitori omakase counter in Mount Pleasant, and the chef runs heritage birds through every cut imaginable, thigh to heart to chicken knee, over charcoal hot enough to demand constant attention. A Michelin star and the tare on that grill go back decades. Reservations are scarce.
