| - So the last time I wrote a review about Kinjo Sushi was a while ago, however having visited the restaurant for the past year, here's an update if any of you are interested.
Kinjo has been known for many years now to be one of the top sushi restaurants to dine at where the original southwest location in Calgary always had both new and returning customers where business was and is still booming. After the owner of Kinjo had decided on creating another location in Calgary, this time in the northwest quadrant of the city, it was probably one of the greatest business decisions as the restaurant is constantly packed.
Forewarning to diners, I recommend either dining at Kinjo either for lunch or for a really late dinner. Unfortunately Kinjo does not take reservations, so regardless of how big or small the party is, I would say avoid the prime time 6 or 7 o'clock meal as the restaurant is just jammed packed...literally. Unless you have a backup plan to dine elsewhere, wait times for tables can last up to 30 to 40 minutes. Kinjo is also a popular place for birthdays - so if you're looking for a venue that isn't noisy, do be warned that Kinjo may not be your top choice. Based on my experience of coming here (which is a lot) there usually is an average of 5 or more birthdays held where all the staff of Kinjo will join in the festivities by clapping, singing, and drum-beating for that special individual. So as for forewarning, it can be a rather noisy meal for diners.
As a final note to my update, if you're craving for a beer but don't feel like spending a lot at the liquor store, definitely come to Kinjo. For the northwest location only, Kinjo serves $3.50 pints of beer where you have the choice of Traditional, Alexander Keiths, Big Rock, Sapporo. If you consider how much a beer is at a bar, its a damn good deal at Kinjo.
