| - I heard about the hype and the reputation El's had for having some of the best sushi, that Calgary has to offer. This is very true. As fast as I could, I gathered up a group of my sushi-goer friends and we venture in to the Marda Loop Area. El's is tiny, no wait it's not tiny, it's microscopic - four tables to be exact. As soon as everyone was seated and beverages were served, we were ready to order. I happen to notice some flakes of what I hope was Lemon in my water. I sure hope it was Lemon.
We went all out ordering 11 different maki's including the Blue and White Dragons, Crispy Maki and the Popcorn Maki. The wait was long, but judging from the size of the order, it was understandable, but still pretty damn long. However, as soon as the food arrived at our table, it was definitely worth the wait. The Popcorn Maki was delicious. It had the right amount of spice and the right amount of crispiness. Even Poseidon wouldn't be able to resist devouring those little shrimps to satisfy his hunger. After the sushi was finished, we attempted to order the infamous Tempura Green Tea Ice Cream that everyone seems to be talking about. Unfortunately, our order took so long that they closed the kitchen as soon as they were finished. Lame.
At the end of the day, El's is amazing and their sushi is some sort of God-like creation that brings a peaceful zen to all of those who consume it. They even have the courtesy of placing Lemon flakes in your water. I sure hope those were Lemon flakes.
