| - #100 This is my first check-in here and I had heard mixed reviews from others regarding the service at this restaurant. Still, I like sushi and wanted to try for myself.
I ordered Lunch Combo B which consists of a spicy tuna roll (6 pieces) , cucumber roll (6 pieces) , California roll (6 pieces), and 2 pieces of what could be called an Alaska Roll at some locations (avocado, tuna, salmon, cucumber inside with orange masago on the outside). The precursor included a cup of miso soup which was not too salty and a Japanese house salad. Luckily, the blue fin tuna just arrived via courier so I will get to try one of the lunch specials, a blue fin tuna roll! Everything was fresh but the blue fin was extra fresh.
I would like to rate this 4.5 stars but the service, while efficient and quick, seemed cold and dry like a 500ml Asahi. It was near the end of lunch and it seemed they were trying to rush us out. Since I have never dined in Japan, this could be a cultural thing.
The ambiance is quite inviting and comfortable; it is not too loud and there are tv's at the sushi bar area. Could be a great place for a first or second date.
Note that parking is very limited and advice to the wise, carpool or take transit. It is also hard to make a turn in either direction on 32nd Ave.
Apparently, you can fax an order to 403-250-3593 or do takeout as well.
All in all, it's a good place for lunch for sure and based on the quality for dinner but don't expect the staff to go out of their way to be friendly (which sometimes can be a blessing if you're trying to score on the alone time on your date).
