88 W Pender St, Vancouver, BC V6B 6N9, Canada · Japanese restaurant, Japanese curry restaurant, Seafood donburi restaurant · Downtown

A budget-friendly onigiri and udon stall in International Village delivering fresh-made rice balls, comforting bowls, and standout value, with occasional inconsistency on fillings and fried pork items.

The verdict

Zenya delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong food quality and warm, attentive counter service, earning its loyal following with exceptional value under C$10. However, inconsistent filling amounts in onigiri and occasional dry pork katsu prevent grade A territory, while the humble mall setting lacks destination appeal. For budget-conscious diners seeking fresh, made-to-order Japanese comfort food, it's a reliable go-to—just expect functional rather than refined execution.

One caveat: Filling quantities can vary between onigiri of the same order (reported by multiple diners)
