| - Because I live quite close to Crowfoot, I will usually make occasional visits down to either Sushi Boat or Sakana Grill when I'm in dire need of sushi. Although I absolutely love sushi with a burning passion, I by no means am a total expert at identifying the quality of the sushi. As long as the sashimi isn't dried up or has that particular slimy texture when its borderline rotting; and as long as rolls are intact, and the food taste good, then I'm not overly picky.
Sakana Grill has been established in the Crowfoot location for a number of years. Although I have been a somewhat faithful customer, this location unfortunately suffered low reviews over the previous years due to management, hiring of staff and, lower food quality. Trust me, I was one of those customers who experienced not the best service too. However do not let prior experiences or even past negative reviews deter you, as Sakana Grill has dramatically improved.
Whether there was a change in management, or perhaps it is the new competition that entered the northwest region of Calgary (Kinjo in Dalhousie), I have found a marked improvement at Sakana. Over the past few months of this year I dined here on 3 or 4 separate occasions - and every time I experienced exceptional customer service and had a lovely time there. The menu has expanded a great deal where it now offers specialty sushi rolls, and an array of new appetizers where it is fit for all types of people, whether sharing or not. The staff has also upped their game where they are always energetic and upbeat, while at the same time extremely attentive. What I found the most changed characteristic of Sakana, is their complimentary dishes of food and dessert offered to diners as well as free Pocky (but only for the ladies). So it's a very lovely touch in chilling at the table while getting small samples of free food!
The only thing I do find inconvenient is how they serve the sushi when you order it off the "checklist" - instead of serving each type of sushi on multiple plates, theu're altogether on one plate. Its not an issue, just inconvenient as it can be confusing identifying your sushi to someone else's when their on the other end the table. However I guess it makes the most sense instead of having a stack of towering dishes all over the table.
And as a last note to all reviewers: my review does not extend to the chicken or beef teriyaki, or the yakisoba dishs as I am unable to eat those items on the menu...so I don't know how it tastes, but it looks good.
