“ I had a wonderful experience dining at Ancora. Everything was amazing from the food to the service. First off I was very impressed with how the sushi pizza was. The combination of excellent melt in your mouth sashimi and the crispy rice paired so perfectly together. Second the Ancora Glacier had some amazing items on it such as the oysters, scallops, and much more. My main which was the fish and chips were cooked to perfection and had a thin yet crisp batter coating the succulent fish. I really enjoyed this meal and would recommend this place to anyone. ”

“ Came here for my partner’s birthday. Nice decor and ambiance, good location and friendly staff. We ordered several different dishes, but the Ancora glacier platter stood out the most to us, as the quality of the seafood and the flavour profiles were fantastic. The food was delicious, but the octopus tagliatelle’s noodles were cooked unevenly, and when we were offered a birthday “dessert” it was two tiny cookies, which I found odd. Pricing and portion sizes are typical for a seafood restaurant of this standard. ”

“ It's unfortunate that the sushi chef wasn't available at the time, but we still had a great experience with excellent food and service. Our server, Tetyana, was kind and attentive. We’ll definitely return for sushi! ”

“ Hey! I've been told that I posted my review for the wrong location... Apologies! Here's my review for the right location this time... :-) Had dinner at the West Van location on Thursday night 2024) (Sept 18, 2024) and it was a truly outstanding experience! We had a series of starters, all fresh and each one tasted better than the one before! The beet salad was beyond outstanding though, I must say! For our mains, I had the roasted cauliflower and my husband had the duck. Again, they were wonderful. A beautiful mix of Peruvian and Japanese flavours. The service was swift and attentive without being over bearing. Our server knew the menu inside and out, giving us great advice. Although we live in Ottawa, we’ll be back when next in West Vancouver! ”

“ Amazing dining experience! From the moment I walked in, the service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and fast. The food was simply outstanding. The oysters were incredibly fresh, with an unbeatable ocean flavor, and the tenderloin was perfectly juicy, just as I ordered. Every bite was a delight. Definitely a place I’ll return to and highly recommend to anyone looking for top-quality food and great service. Five well-deserved stars! ”

“ The Ambleside unit of the Ancora Waterfront restaurant is gorgeous! We had an awesome experience overall. Phenomenal service from start to finish and great selection of sushi and appetizers. The lobster roll was out of this world, just a bomb of different flavours; my favourite was the ceviche mixto though. The dining room has a wonderful decoration and the view to the Ambleside Beach is glorious. ”

“ Had such a great experience here last week with my husband. The service was super friendly, the vibe was awesome, and the food was so good. Definitely recommend the oysters—really fresh and full of flavor—and the yuca soup was creamy and delicious. Our server suggested the tenderloin, and it was a total hit. We also loved the wine selection. Left really impressed and will for sure be coming back! ”

“ Exquisite dining experience! The view, drinks, foods, service, and ambiance... everything was perfect. They serve Japanese/ Peruvian cuisines, both of which we are very familiar with. There were not too much new twists in dishes but I liked it that way. Too many places trying too hard to be original nowadays. Our favourites were tuna tartare, crab causa, and roasted duck. Their cocktail was refreshing and the wine list was very balanced. Would love to come back in summer to try patio seating! Booked through first table app. ”
