Sushi Hyun: Luxurious Michelin-Starred Omakase in the West End

Sushi Hyun is a reservation-only omakase counter in Vancouver's West End led by chef Juhyun Lee. It received a Michelin star in 2025, when Michelin inspectors said luxury runs through every element of the meal, and Lee won the 2025 MICHELIN Young Chef Award.

Here's what to know before you go.

About Sushi Hyun

Chef Lee began his journey into Japanese cuisine as an international student and trained in Korea, Japan and Michelin two-star kitchens before opening Sushi Hyun.

Michelin notes that his omakase includes subtle nods to his Korean background. Lee also chooses the wine and sake list himself.
