| - all I can say is wtf.....
I was in Calgary for work during the crazy floods so all the good food spots in downtown were closed/inaccessible. I was forced to eat southwest calgary (some decent spots, smugglers in/thai food/broken plate) and I ended up making my way to Kinjo sushi. The place was pretty packed at 8pm so I decided to give it a shot(first mistake, revolving sushi bars always suck).
I ended up ordering a decent amount of food (tamago, salmon sashimi, toro sashimi, tuna sashimi, chicken teriyaki, yam tempura, raw steak sushi)
Everything I ordered was a disappointment. The Tamago had no flavor and not even a hint of sweetness. The chicken teriyaki was decent but pretty sure a piece was under cooked (didn't even bother risking it and eating the rest). All 3 orders of sashimi were obviously slacked out, wet, nasty tasting sashimi (ate 2 pieces out of the 9 and left the rest to be tossed). The raw steak sushi was surprisingly edible and the best dish was the tempura yam and even then it was slightly over-fried.
The total bill came out to couple dollars shy of $40, if I only got the raw steak and tempura yam I would probably review this 2-3 stars.
Maybe I am just spoiled from all the great REAL sushi spots in LA but this place was severely underwhelming. I have no idea how this place has 4 stars while being peoples "go to sushi spot". Either these people haven't had real sushi or they are the people who get the weird deep fried rolls with 10 different types of mayo on top.
Sorry people of Calgary but this place is definitely a huge disappointment
