We risked it, we decided to go here tonight without being able to make a reservation, and it was completely fine. This visit was totally worth it.
This place has absolutely the best Japanese AYCE in YYC. At $27.99 for their "dinner tasting menu" we got a great selection of cold and hot items to choose from. There is also two free "chef special" items you can select with your meal as well. We laughed at how they have dim sum on the menu, and did not try it... but I'm sure it would have been good though.
All their food was fantastic! From the simplest dishes like "sashimi salad" and "egg drop soup" you can taste the quality difference compared to other Japanese AYCE places at the same price point. Most of what we got had great plating, even my one order of takoyaki had garnishes at the bottom. I love their attention to detail here.
Their house special roll is fantastic :) it was a deep fried tempura roll with just a hint of tabasco after taste to it. Delicious!
We had to of course finish off with some sweets for dessert, they've got ice cream available... which they garnish with a fried taro chip and whipped cream. Ahhhhh the simple things in life delight me.
Will be sure to come back time and time again... as long as I can actually get in that is ;)
P.S. They have lemon slices with their ice water :) its all about the details.
