" Stem is love at first bite! I can't express how wonderful the experience was for my friends and I. The food is artistically plated and the flavors are incredibly complex yet harmonious. The staff are genuinely friendly and warm. An experience like you would hope for in a premium Japanese restaurant. Despite the price, I still rate it highly because of how satisfied I was after every plate. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Stem was a treat! Each course offered something unique, and the flavors stood out. The staff was very accommodating regarding our dietary restrictions, adjusting dishes as needed without compromising taste. I loved the ambiance—a perfect blend of chic and cozy. Because we opted for the omakase, I found the portion sizes generous considering the quality. Definitely will return for another special evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Stem blew my mind! I’ve been to many Japanese restaurants around Vancouver, but none compare to Stem! The omakase menu was out of this world! Each dish not only looked gorgeous but was also bursting with flavor. The aesthetic of the restaurant is fantastic and truly provides a warm, inviting atmosphere. Perfect for date nights or celebrations. Will definitely be back to experience more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, Stem is fantastic! The ambiance is perfect for a night out, the service is exceptional, and the food... oh my! The flaor pairing of each dish stands out, especially the miso caramel cheesecake! The attention to detail is incredible, and I really appreciate the explanation of the food origins from the staff. Dining here is like taking a little trip to Japan without leaving Burnaby. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm someone who visits Japanese restaurants frequently, and Stem stands out among them. The decor is charming, and the staff is friendly. Everything from their yaki onigiri to the edamame is delicious, but the true masterpiece is their to-die-for matcha tiramisu dessert. It's simply divine! If you enjoy authentic Japanese flavors, this is a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely dinner at Stem with a friend. The sashimi was divine, very fresh and well-cut. The ambiance was quiet and perfect for conversation. The service was friendly, but slightly delayed. Although I enjoyed the food, I have to say the portion sizes left me wanting more, especially given the higher price point. Nonetheless, I would certainly return for a special occasion.
