| - My expectations may have gotten the better of me here. The thing to realize is that Uptown is a very casual neighborhood sushi restaurant, and certainly not a destination location. Orders are taken at the counter, meals are served on disposable plates, and seating is a little limited.
This wouldn't necessarily be an issue, except that prices are more in line with what you would find at a nicer (though not upscale) place. Then again, I'm still trying to get a sense of sushi pricing in Calgary, so I could be a little off in my expectations.
As for the food itself, it was just okay. It reminded me of supermarket sushi (albeit from a nicer supermarket), with nigiri on the smaller side, maki that doesn't quite hold together well, and miso soup that's a little dull and murky.
As I try other sushi establishments in the city I may change my mind about Uptown, but for now I'll rate it as a pass.
