About the Space
Our Japanese-inspired café and Omakase counter, located in the heart of Vancouver’s historic Chinatown is a warm, minimalist space designed with natural materials, thoughtful lighting, and a calm, intimate atmosphere. By day, it’s a specialty coffee and matcha shop; by night, it transforms into a modern plant-based Omakase restaurant. This dual character makes the space exceptionally versatile for photoshoots, small events, pop-ups, and workshops. The interior features a handcrafted 8-seat omakase counter, a signature element rarely found outside of fine dining venues. The counter’s clean lines, natural wood, and focused lighting create a cinematic backdrop ideal for filming or hosting intimate gatherings. The café side includes a large espresso bar, display case, and flexible seating that can be rearranged or cleared depending on the needs of your project. Designed with a warm, modern palette, the space offers soft textures, curated décor, and an uncluttered layout that photographs beautifully. Tall glass windows allow natural light to flow in throughout the day, creating a bright and inviting setting for content creation. In the evening, the lighting shifts into a cozy ambient glow ideal for private dinners, tastings, and after-hours shoots. Our venue is ideal for photoshoots, film projects, small private events, intimate dinners, brand activations, tastings, workshops, and influencer or product shoots. We are happy to work with you on custom setups, and food/beverage service can be arranged upon request. If you require a customized quote, minimum spend details, or have special requests, please message us through Giggster and we’ll be happy to assist.
