Overrated, overpriced, and overly sized rolls
Calgary needs to step up its sushi game. The whole contemporary rolls worked 10 years ago when people were still new to sushi. Nowadays, people want the real deal. Just ask Toronto and Vancouver, cities that've gone through a Japanese food boom in recent years with the emergence of authentic izakaya, ramen, and sushi places
Highlights
- Freshness of the fish. Toro that night was especially good
- Decor
Lowlights
- Overpriced. 7 bucks for an avocado roll is pure robbery
- Comedic size of the rolls. The rolls were very sloppy, containing too much rice and falling apart as we ate it
- Greeting me in Japanese when the place obviously isn't Japanese doesn't do anything for me
Recommendations
- Less is more. Each 6 piece roll could easily be 12. That way, allow the customer to try a few more things
- Sell the freshness of your fish, not the over the top rolls. What's the point of fresh fish if you over-complicate it
