    Just ordered off skip the dishes from here and loved it!!! The agedashi tofu was still so crispy by the time it arrived and their square sushi was so good a must try there's not a lot of places in Calgary that sell the pressed square sushi aside from big catch and Kinjo but this was good too had a bit of sweetness which I loved and is different from kinjo and big catch. Their sushi pizza is the best one I've tried so far because they had a special white sauce and a sweet sauce so this had a lot of flavour! Would definitely order from here again

    Salmon and tuna sushi! Delicious!!

    Itoko Sushi opened its doors just a couple months ago (May 2012), so they're still new!! Itoko Sushi is located in Chaparral Drive in the SE of Calgary. It's tucked away in a corner of the 'strip mall' in the same area as the Tim Hortons and the Mac's. Spence and I have been meaning to try this new sushi place out but we've been hesitant because we already have a favorite sushi place and we didn't think anything would measure up (service, quality, and atmosphere-wise). His parents live close by so after we dropped some stuff off; we decided to try Itoko Sushi. Pulling up, there is a shared parking so you're sure to find a spot even if it's not right at Itoko's doors. It was about 6:30PM when we pulled up; there was a lot of parking so we got a spot up close. Right when you walk in, you can see the prep area. We were then greeted from afar (they were standing at the till). We were the only customers there so we found the space to be very open. We were told we can pick anywhere to sit so we decided to sit at a booth. The booths are huge! I think they can fit ~6 people! We were handed a takeout menu to order from...and then we asked Courtney (our waitress) for suggestions and she suggested the most popular rolls and her favorite rolls. We got some tea and water for beverages and then decided to go with a miso soup to start ($1.50), 4 Salmon sushi ($1.65 ea.), 2 Tuna sushi ($1.65 ea.), Spicy salmon roll (4 pcs, $2.75), Philadelphia roll (4 pcs, $2.95), Crispy spicy dynamite rolls (8 pcs, $7.55) and the Salmon mango rolls ($10.95). The food came out in a timely manner and everything looked great. I dove right into the salmon sushi which was yummy! The pieces of sashimi were thick, nicely cut over the sticky rice and seemed pretty fresh! Courtney suggested two different rolls: Salmon mango rolls and the Crispy spicy dynamite rolls (which are deep fried). At first I thought to myself "Deep fried sushi??!....weird" but then when we got it, it was AWESOME!! The crispy dynamite rolls (shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber) were very lightly battered but noticeable and it adds a nice crisp to the rolls. When I put the roll in my mouth, it kind of mushed together and melted in your mouth. The Salmon mango rolls (shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber, salmon, mango, mango sauce, tobiko) were good, I like sweet and savory rolls and I wished that the mango sauce was a little stronger, otherwise, it was good. For the Philadelphia roll (smoked salmon, cream cheese, avocado) it was awesome! I love the cream cheese in the sushi...gives it a nice taste and texture. Lastly, the Spicy salmon roll (salmon, cucumber, spicy sauce) were great...not too spicy but just enough. Oh! I almost forgot to mention we got some complimentary tempura yam and tempura avocado! They just came by and gave it to us to try. It was nice, crispy and tasty!! :) Overall, our experience at Itoko Sushi was fantastic! The service was great. The food was awesome and it left me wanting to go back again ASAP!! Not to mention the prices are pretttty good for what you get. It looks like Spence and I have a new found love for another sushi place...

    We order from Itoko quite a bit. Save for a few blips, rolls are quite consistent. We love the Golden Roll the most!

    We needed a place close to the airport that was open late and this place was perfect. Located in a…read morequaint part of town, parking was easy on the street the restaurant was on. There was no wait for our party of 4, but the restaurant was busy with lots of energy around 9pm. We were seated in a corner booth and had a nice view of the restaurant. There is also a small grocery area at the front, with Japanese favorites and some prepared foods to go. There was a nice selection of sushi, noodles, and meats, which we had some of each. I had a prime Rib and Angus skewers and both were excellent, but the magic sauce was the best on the angus. I had a bite of the tonkotsu ramen and the broth was bold, but not too heavy. Lastly, I had the bluefin tuna roll, which was a good size and so fresh, you could taste it. The blend of ingredients in this roll hit the spot. The service was great and we were in and out in under an hour.

    I came to Ikusa for dinner recently. The restaurant has a really good vibe for hangouts and reminds…read moreme of izakayas in Vancouver and Japan. In terms of food, I tried their Bluefin Tuna Roll, Creamy Scallop Roll, Chef's Choice Sashimi, Gyu Tan and Hotate Yakitoris. Overall, I'd give the food 8/10 - Bluefin Tuna Roll: 7.8/10: Real bluefin tuna, but overall reminds me of an avocado roll with bits of tuna, and not worth it - Creamy Scallop Roll: 7.5/10: Good flavour, but expected more like chop chop roll, especially given the price (else it's a California roll with scallop on top) - Chef's Choice Sashimi: 8.5/10: Good pieces of fresh sashimi - Gyu Tan Yakitori: 8.3/10: Good, slightly overpriced given the portion - Hotate Yakitori: 7.5/10: Nicely grilled but overpriced
