Sushi Fu

Shaughnessy Street is the closest thing Port Coquitlam has to an old main street, the heritage strip that served as downtown when the CPR roundhouse anchored the young town. Sushi Fu keeps a place on that strip at 2640 Shaughnessy Street, one of the independent food stops that give the old street everyday use beyond its history. For a city of about 62,500, it is exactly the kind of local counter that keeps a downtown block alive through the week.

Sushi shops on streets like this tend to live on repeat business. Workers stop in for lunch, families pick up dinner on the way home, and the kitchen settles into rhythms that suit both. The craft itself is consistent across the trade: rice prepared through the day, fish handled with care, and a menu that usually spans rolls, nigiri and the cooked options that round out a tray. How a kitchen balances those staples is where its character shows.

No phone number or website is listed for the restaurant at this time, so the address is the detail to hold onto when planning a visit. With the West Coast Express stopping at Port Coquitlam station and the Lougheed Highway passing through, the street is reachable from most of Metro Vancouver. For locals it is simpler still: a short errand on the old main street, with dinner attached.
