| - Sushi Hanami is a great sushi find in SW Calgary.
Nice and close to MRU on 37th, Hanami has great service and reasonable prices - and as a bonus, its relatively undiscovered nature means that you almost never have to wait in line in the evenings (for lunch, I can't comment).
The spicy tuna salad is piled high with tuna, crispy lettuce, and plenty of spicy sauce. It's a bit of an odd dish, and while it wasn't on point for my companion I would certainly order it again.
The sunomono is a decent size for the price, and quite tasty, and the portion of "appetizer" yam tempura is enough for a meal. The yam tempura roll is also generously portioned and topped with a sweet sauce that makes it extra scrumptious.
Also of note is the salmon sashimi portion size - I'm always impressed when they come out, and the tuna (although not quite as remarkable) is a good size as well.
My informal price estimate it about a 15-20% edge on something like Globefish, which makes a hearty sushi for two $45ish instead of $60ish - and that's good with me.
If you are in the SW and looking for sushi, this is a quick, affordable and tasty option worth trying.
