| - I've actually gotten takeout from Misato before but was not that impressed with my meal that one time, so I decided to dine in and see if it was any different.
Bento Box B with Beef - $12.95
Comes with standard tasting miso soup.
In this bento box you get sashimi, tempura, teriyaki beef (choice of chicken or beef), a small salad and edamame. I was surprised that rice is not included as most places do include it. The sashimi was so creamy and smooth - definitely fresh! The tempura was a bit greasy and I wish they gave you a larger salad. Edamame was pretty standard since it was just simply boiled. The teriyaki beef with veggies would've been better with a bowl of rice as it was on the sweet side.
Calgary Special Roll (1/2) - $11.95
The famous Calgary Special Roll. Since I know so many people rave about it, I decided to try it myself and was very happy they offered a half portion of it b/c there is no way I can eat the bento box and the full eight pieces. So now that I've tried it... I am not sure why people like it so much. I was expecting different varieties of fish, but there's only tuna, salmon, masago, shrimp and fake crab meat inside the roll, and there's a thin slice of smoked salmon on the outside. Mind you there's a lot of fresh fish inside, but the ingredients are nothing special. This is just a house special roll on steroids. Before Sushi Kawa went downhill, their house special roll was way better since there's more variety of fish offered in it.
Overall my meal was satisfactory but I definitely don't see myself driving all the way down here too often. Service was pretty decent and prices are average to a bit high depending on what you order.
