15 East got one Michelin star for 2014; that's one star too many. The sushi was not bad, but was most definitely not anywhere near what I think a Michelin star restaurant should serve.
Also, note that the only actual food picture is the plate of nigiri? No, that is not because I ate other plates before I got a chance to take a picture; we were served ONLY what we ordered. No edamame nor shishito peppers amuse bouches as we saw the table next to us get (they ordered wine, we did not, so I guess we can add 'stuck up' to the list of faults that 15 East needs to work on), not even palate cleansers after eating all that fish. I wouldn't expect anything else other than what we ordered if this was just a 'regular' Japanese restaurant, but a Michelin star restaurant? Isn't one of the criteria of being a Michelin star restaurant 'impeccable service'? Definitely '1' in this section.
My fav nigiri bar in Vancouver, Octopus Garden still reigns.
