The newest Kinjo opened on April 1st. No April foolin' here.
This location is big. There's probably a good 50 tables with some of them being pretty sizable booths. They had a ton of staff working and the customers were cycling through at a pretty quick pace. Despite only being open for a week the staff seem to have everything running pretty smoothly.
As with most sushi places these days they sit you down with a photo menu and a spreadsheet with all of the items listed. Just write in the quantity of each thing you want and the menu is whisked away to the kitchen.
They started us off with a sample plate which consisted of 4 different rolls. The rest of our food came quite quickly with the sushi and tempura items coming first followed by the cooked items like the yakitori and noodles. My wife doesn't eat fish so the process was a little off pace for a normal dinner as she watched me eat all the sushi while nibbling on tempura and edamame then I watched her eat (ok I ate some too) all of the cooked stuff.
Overall the sushi is solid, not the best ever, but good for Calgary standards. The service dipped off a little after we were done eating. It took quite a while to get our bill, then another long wait for our server to come by with the machine. Our whole bill came to just shy of $50 which is on par for the two of us at any restaurant, sushi or not.
