Having moved here from Los Angeles via Sydney via Hong Kong, let's just say that my first 5 month foray into Asian food in Calgary has been one rife with disappointment.
Having said that, one cold evening (yesterday) I went with my three small children and dined at Wa's even though it was a fair distance away.
Well worth the effort. Sashimi Moraiwase, and particularly amaebi was good. Tempura was the best in Calgary and finished off with some tonkotsu udon and some saba shioyaki.
Service was friendly, and the sushi chefs efficient. The only disappointment was that the first uni I had in six months, was not fresh at all.
Still, after Towa, Globefish, Blowfish, Wa's is somehow the best of all.
