  • The place looks high-end and presents itself as an "Izakaya". Kind of like a Japanese Tapas restaurant. Unfortunately - MOST Canadians' impression of Japanese food is simply sushi, and I think the restaurant is currently in a state of flux, trying to change to a more sushi-based theme, as I suspect they were failing as an Izakaya. This is really too bad, because this place had a super cool theme! We were excited to go and try some of our Izakaya favorites - sadly, none of them were available despite being on the menu! We tried ordering 8 dishes and were told each time "sorry that isn't on the menu" or the other one that KILLED ME - "sorry the chef doesn't know how to make that". I see now they are offering Korean dishes alongside typical Canadian sushi crap. (rolls with too much sauce, and weird ingredients that have no business being together) Apparently they have expanded and are now offering Ramen as well. The Service when we were there was SLOOOOOOW. One waitress only. Which shouldn't have been an issue since the place only seats 30 people...But we had to wait 15 minutes for a menu, then another 20 minutes to order. In all that time we weren't offered water, or any other beverages. Our order of Edamame was still frozen when it was brought to us and was WAY over-priced. (they charged us $8 for soybeans with salt!!!!!) The negiri we ordered was small, rice was under-seasoned the cuts of fish were too thin and cut incorrectly so that they were falling apart. The Chicken Karaage was bland and the coating was flat, one dimensional and not at all crispy. We did try two rolls since they seemed to be the only thing on the menu that was reasonably priced and the chef was capable of making. They were o.k. but nothing special. Again, rice seasoning was waaaay off and there was so much sauce that I felt like I could have had the same meal just by staying at home and pouring my Japanese mayo into my mouth! The Hell roll had a BEAUTIFUL, STUNNING presentation but due to the weird jelly cubes doused in sterno, the whole roll tasted of BBQ lighter fuel. Not a pleasant experience! Overall - not my favorite dining experience in Calgary. If you want simple run-of-the-mill grocery store sushi but for some reason want to pay 3 or 4 times as much then this is the place for you!
