Yale Sushi

Whether this restaurant took its name from Yale Road is not something the record confirms, but the geography would support it. Yale Road, Young Road and Wellington Avenue all arrive at once at Five Corners, a junction that has been the commercial centre of Chilliwack since long before the malls were built and the retail moved south. This is a downtown listing, in the blocks within walking distance of that junction, in the oldest part of the city's retail grid. Downtown also holds about 31 per cent of the city's residents, so a restaurant here has a resident population on its doorstep rather than only a daytime one.

Beyond the name, the category and a downtown postal code, this record holds very little. No street address, no telephone number and no website have been published for it, so anything worth knowing before turning up, the size of the room, whether it is a counter or a full dining room, whether it does takeout, is not answerable from here. Sushi restaurants in a city this size range from a few seats and a takeout window to something considerably larger, and the category label flattens all of that. Walking past is the most reliable way to find out which one this is, which is easier downtown than almost anywhere else in Chilliwack.
