Michelin Awards Stars to Two Vancouver Restaurants in 2025
Vancouver has gained recognition on the global culinary stage as two of its Japanese restaurants have been awarded Michelin stars. Both **Sumibiyaki Arashi** and **Sushi Hyun** received one star each in the prestigious Michelin Guide, marking a significant achievement for the city’s dining scene.
Recognition for Culinary Excellence
The accolade for **Sumibiyaki Arashi** highlights the innovative work of chef **Pete Ho**, who has been credited with introducing a “new gold standard of yakitori” to Vancouver. This traditional Japanese dish, consisting of grilled chicken skewers, has received fresh attention under Ho’s guidance, showcasing the restaurant’s commitment to quality and flavor.
**Sushi Hyun** also received accolades for its luxurious dining experience, with Michelin noting that the essence of Japanese luxury “pervades every element of the meal.” This recognition signifies the restaurant’s dedication to the art of sushi-making and its ability to deliver an exceptional culinary journey to its patrons.
The addition of these two establishments brings the total number of Michelin-starred restaurants in Vancouver to **12**. This milestone reflects the city’s growing reputation as a culinary destination, appealing to both locals and tourists alike.
A Broader Culinary Landscape
In addition to the Michelin stars, **Good Thief**, a restaurant specializing in Vietnamese cuisine, was awarded the Bib Gourmand designation. This honor recognizes establishments that offer high-quality food at reasonable prices, further enriching Vancouver’s diverse food landscape.
Vancouver was among the first two cities in Canada to be included in the Michelin Guide when it debuted in the country in **2022**, alongside Toronto. Earlier this year, Michelin also launched a guide for **Quebec**, expanding its coverage of Canadian culinary offerings.
This report, originally published by **The Canadian Press** on **October 2, 2025**, highlights the ongoing evolution of Vancouver’s restaurant scene and its ability to attract recognition from one of the most respected culinary authorities in the world. As the city continues to innovate and elevate its dining experiences, it remains a key player in the international gastronomy arena.
