| - Goro & Gun is a great sushi/ramen restaurant. The space is cool, the atmosphere works and the sushi is a cut above average. One of the better Calgary choices for sure!
To keep things fair, I've been ordering the same basic sushi at every restaurant (with some slight variations). In keeping with that plan, I ordered edemame, salmon sashimi, avocado/cucumber rolls, and tuna rolls.
Here's what irritated me at Goro. For some reason, they are so intent on slathering their rolls up with tempura and sauce, there are no basic rolls on the menu. When I asked the waiter for a basic tuna roll with none of the extra stuff, he was pretty incredulous and actually laughed. "Something funny about that?" I asked. He got back to business, but wouldn't promise me a basic roll. Low and behold, when the tuna rolls came out... it was exactly what I didn't order. I sent it back. The second try was just fine. (I don't know why they couldn't put the tuna IN the roll ... it was more of a cucumber roll with a tuna "hat") No big deal. I'm picky, they aren't used to it ... I'd still go back.
Goro is probably one more expensive sushi restaurants, but if you're on a date or otherwise want a chill/trendy atmosphere... this is a good bet.
