| - We came across Sushi Club the other day and decided to try it yesturday. Because they are located in Kensington, parking is a hazard.
The decor of Sushi Club is like El's Japanese Fusion but way bigger. I really liked the decor of the restaurant. The staff was really friendly and it was the first place since forever that greeted us with Japanese when we walked in. The 2 chefs there were japanese but the hostess and the waitress were chinese. It seems like a lot of regulars go there, the place is cozy and is a friendly environment. But when they cook something, like deep fry or cook the unagi in the tiny stove, you'll smell like it too!!
The menu has a variety to choose from, a lot of the stuff sounds pretty unique compared to the other restaurants. Some of the sushi even have tar tar sauce in it!
After we ordered, the waitress told us, "wow.. this is quite a bit..are you sure you want all sushi and not just sashimi?" We had to confirm with her 3-5 times that yes, this is how much we want. This is the 3rd time that someone told us that we ordered..A LOT (first time at Towa, second at Green Olive and now at Sushi Club). After she rang in our order, she told the people, "be careful, they're either critics or they're going to eat and run" XD...that's amazing...
Ok, what did we order.... APPETITZER - Ponzu Calamari The sauce is extremely sour, but when you dip the tentacles in the sauce, it brings out the taste of the tentacles. The taste was good, BUT it was super crispy...I think they over-fried it...the darker ones were super crispy, but the lighter coloured ones were pretty good. We were debating over the calamari or the baby octopus, but ended up getting the calamari instead...
Kensington Neighborhood Roll (special scallop, carelin roe, romanine lettuce, flying fish roe, avocado, tuna, salmon, prawn, sesame seeds) I really liked this roll, the flavours were there. The roes were poppin', love them love them love them!! Anago (smoked sea eel), I prefer Unagi (ones under the Anago) waaaaay more thean Anago. The feel of the Anago was rough, the taste is the same as Unagi tho. Coho Salmon and Sockeye salmon. oh my god, the sockeye was so soft, it melts in your mouth I like the Sockeye Salmon more the the Coho Salmon. we had the special scallop and the cajun shrimp. The red tuna was the freshest I've ever had in Calgary. This melts in your mouth more than the sockeye salmon. The tamago was unique cause the rice was INSIDE the tamage. Special Tempera Roll (tempera shrimp, unagi, avocado, romaine lettuce, tartar sauce) It has a kick to it, but a little later, it has a slightly bitter after taste to it. It's something unique, I've never heard of sushi with tar tar sauce before.
we had the Scallop Tempera Dynamite Roll (scallop tempera, avocado, flying fish roe, mayo, tartar sauce). It's unique, but it's really nothing special. the Crunchy Spicy Tuna Roll (tuna, spicy sauce, cornflakes and cucumber). The cornflakes put a crunch to it, which adds texture, the spicy sauce is pretty good. As for the hand cone, it's the House Special (tuna, salmon, prawn, capelin roe, romaine lettuce, avocado, flying fish roe), the reason why we chose this cone instead of the other ones is because there's so many fishes in the cone. everything blended really well together except the prawn. The prawn tasted like it was boiled for a long long time, very stiff, I couldn't bite through it.
Overall, I really like the fish, super fresh. I think Sushi Club might have the freshest fish in Calgary! I would go back for the fish, but not so much for the sushi. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it doesn't taste good, it's just nothing special that makes me want to purposely go back for. If you've never went, you should try it just for the uniqueness. I don't think they have lite soy sauce because the soy sauce was super salty. In the end, we paid around $120 + tax. It may seem pretty pricey, but David and I, that's like an average price for us, but for those who doesn't eat as much as us, of course it'll be cheaper, so don't let the total scare you.
Price Wise (1 being cheap, 5 being expensive): 3/5
Food Quality (1 being not worth it, 5 being totally worth it): 3/5
Service Wise (1 being horrible, 5 being amazing): 4/5
