| - I wish it was possible to give half star-ratings. If so, I'd give Sushi Boat 2.5 stars. While the food is not horrible, it's not great either. I go to sushi boat whenever I want a quick meal and I don't feel like driving downtown for real authentic sushi. The food at Sushi Boat is OK. They have quite the extensive menu of sushi and rolls but some of them aren't very good. If you are used to authentic, high quality sushi, here's what I suggest from the menu that's half decent and actually even quite good sometimes:
- seared salmon (quite yummy!)
- himachi (yellowtail)
- toro (belly of tuna)
- rainbow roll (my favourite! actually one of the better ones in Calgary)
- special scallop
- yam tempura
some of the other, such as the regular salmon, tuna, red tuna, scallop, mackeral, etc. are ok. They've got some weird ones like corn sushi that I didn't care for. The house special roll wrapped with egg didn't look appetizing at all, nor their teriyaki salmon sushi. Like I say, some of this stuff is VERY westernized and sometimes I can't believe they can even dream of certain menu items.
The prices aren't cheap. Most of the items that I recommended above are at least around $3.50 or more for a dish of 2 pieces (rolls being 4 pieces). While the prices aren't exoberant, they are pricey enough and it's easy to spend around $25 to $30 for a modest eater. And for that price, I can have a pretty decent meal at a more authentic Japanese restaurant such as Wa's.
