I used to work by this place. I would get rolls from here quite often as my 18 year old self did not know much about good sushi then. But as I got older, I started to try more sushi places around the city and outside of Calgary as well. Honestly some of these places really knocked my socks off. So after a couple years, I decided to try Sushi Hanami again. I had liked it so much in the past, it had to be good still. Right?!
Wrong. Like Quyen B., I got the Spicy Sashimi salad and found it was literally swimming in sauce. It had maybe 3 small pieces of sashimi in it that I could find. The sauce really killed the dish for me. It was just too much. I also had some Edamame, the Dynamite Roll and the Spicy Tuna Roll. The edamame was good. The rolls on the other hand were huge, so they were hard to eat. The rolls were just okay, but I seriously question whether the fish in these rolls was actually fresh. Service was also a bit scanty. Our waitress never came by to see how we were doing or if we wanted another drink. My friend kept having to flag her down for everything.
Maybe it was good when I went there or I just didn't know any better, but it was very disappointing. There are way better sushi places in town. In fact, Momoyama is just up the street and I found it to be way better than Sushi Hanami.
