| - My long lost beloved, indeed my long forgotten love...
My last vist to Sushi Hiro was 10 years ago, and my recent visit (I came here for dinner) just refreshed my memory of this Calgary gem.... Quality of food, menu selection, location, decoration had not changed a bit, still at its upmost!
I like here coz the menu selection is very tradition and authentic, unlike any other restaurant in Calgary serving the typical stuff. Here are the items I ordered:
Yamakake: finely grated Japanese yam served over maguro sashimi. Chef did a very delicate job in grating the yam to the point it's foamy and slammy, Warning: not everyone likes it! Maguro was very fresh, compliement with the foamy yam. I think if there's hint of wasabi or green onion will even brighten the taste.... Overall, this dish is good and authentic.
Ten Zaru: another classic Japanese dish, Zaru noodle with Tempura, love the sauce, nice and refreshing! Sauce came with diced onion, wasabi, one quail egg, mix all together, dip the noodle in and slurp!! Yum!! This is the traditional way of eating Zaru!
Special Sashimi: 16 piece of Sashimi, fresh and nicely plated.
Kawari mushi, steamed egg-tofu custard served in light broth.... This is a fabulous dish! Another classic authentic Japanese dish, love the smooth n warm egg-tofu custard, top with fresh seafood (lots of seafood) , I ate this with rice, excellent!
Dessert: I had vanilla ice cream with red bean sauce, red bean sauce is another popular dessert condiment in Asia. Red bean sauce was fully cooked to the point like mashed potato form, it was served on top of vanilla ice cream, I waited the ice cream to melt a bit so I can mix the red bean sauce together = Red Bean ice cream! (If restaurant can make red bean ice cream, that would be fabulous!)
Overall, my experience at Sushi Hiro was great, and I don't know why people gave them bad rating, maybe those people don't know what to do order, or they just don't know Japanese cuisine at all, or they are just rude and simple show no respect.. Sushi Hiro had ran business for more than 20 years and still surviving today, that's a great reason to prove they are the success!!
good job Sushi Hiro, keep up the good work.
