“Sea Monstr Sushi” To Unleash Tentacles Tonight In Gastown

IMG_2909

by Andrew Morrison | The much-anticipated Sea Monstr Sushi opens tonight at 6pm in Gastown (55 Powell). The 16 seater from Sharks + Hammers duo Alex Usow and Mark Brand (co-owner of Boneta, The Diamond, Save-On-Meats) will serve sushi by chef Keith Allison – formerly a fixture at Dan on West Broadway (interview). We poked our heads in for their friends and family dry run, and feasted big. The dynamite rolls were the best, made better with a lick of the house blend of hot sauce and a cold brace of Steam Whistle beers. A cool little space. Check it out the photos…

  1. Can’t wait. Just readjusted to fit Sea Monstr into tonights plans. Gastown has been dying for a sushi joint. Hooray!

  2. I am excited for this new place. However I think they opened prematurely. As advertised by Scout, there are no Dynamite Rolls or Sapporo Beer on the menu.

    They only take cash.

    The decor is non-existent. Maybe that’s what they are going for.

    I’ll go back in a month. Hopefully it’s ready.
