Beef Tataki: Everyone really liked but I personally don't find it worth the high price. Shrimp Tempera: 1 friend said it was the best they had. I found it about the same as anywhere else. Sushi Combo: 10/10: really nice and tasty. Great variety and flavors. Philadelphia Roll: 9/10 Great flavor. Seared Salon Sunrise: friend got this as his entrée and he gave it 10/10. Feng Poke Bowl: 10/10 I got this after confirming the spicy tuna was not spicy. Tuna was so minimal spicy. Portion was very filling. Loved the crab salad, loved seaweed salad. Overall very happy with this entree. Garlic Shrimp Donburi: 9/10 friend said it was delicious but too much rice.

It was basically a deconstructed sushi roll with fresh salmon, avocado, unagi sauce, fish roe, and a poached egg on top. When you break the egg, it runs into the rest of the dish and is absolutely delightful. I also ordered the sweet mango prawns.... if you read my reviews, you'll know I'm a prawn lover. These were very creamy and had fresh mango and avocado, diced within. The only thing that I would have liked is a crispy hotter shrimp. This was more like a salad, but the flavours were definitely spot on. And the prawns were juicy and succulent. Service was also great. Our server convinced me to try their special seared salmon sunrise. I was a little worried that the seared salmon might be too cooked and I was looking for more of a sashimi vibe. She asked the kitchen to lightly sear the salmon for me. It was still fresh but fragrant from the searing. All the different flavours combined made for an interesting burst of deliciousness in my mouth. The plating of the dishes were so colourful and definitely peaked my interest as soon as it came out. Thanks Feng Donburi!

Super Dynamite roll: 8/10. Great flavor but roll is too big and hard to eat without taking a too big of bite or making a mess. Garlic Salmon Fried Rice: 10/10, what a surprise!

Also tried the Bbq Combo. Takoyaki was well-made. Bacon-wrapped shrimps okay. Pork dumplings (more like shrimp-based) was delicious. However, the yakitori was dry and tasted like an afterthought. The restaurant interior was cozy and inviting. The booth layout added to its charm. A very different perspective from the impression one gets from its almost industrial exterior (with a sign that says Sushi factory). The waitress and owner were friendly and nice.

The staff were friendly and attentive. A Manager even came by to greet me and check up on me just as I received my food. Overall was a very pleasant experience and I look forward to trying other menu items including their Dim Sum.

It had a moody vibe with red ambient lighting and an upscale edgy sushi bar with really unique, oversized art all around. Prices were fair ranging between $12 - $35 per dish depending on what you order. Service was impeccable. Our hostess, server, and all of the staff in general were warm and friendly. Our server was able to articulate the specials and entice us to try the mango salmon roll which was smoky, creamy and tropical. Sushi tasted fresh as we also ordered the salmon sashimi. Watching the sushi chefs interact with each other and have fun while preparing such meticulous meals was entertaining and mouthwatering. My absolute favourite dish was the Rock Shrimp Tempura in a creamy spicy garlic chili sauce. These were perfectly cooked and the prawns were huge and juicy...came with a hearty salad underneath them too. The dim sum deserves a shout-out as well. We ordered the Truffle Lamb and Prawn Shumai Dumplings and it was the freshest dim sum I've ever had in Canada. Reminded me of when I was in Singapore. We will definitely return!!

Also they did well considering how busy they were.Our water glasses were kept full and we were checked on a few times. Don't come here for the atmosphere. It is pretty sterile. Clean though, however they blast the music in the bathroom. Ramen was decent. Definately not the best in the city, but for the price point good. It is also a smaller bowl, I noticed that couples were splitting and order of sushi or rolls which seemed like a good idea. My choice of ramen was red which was claimed to be spicy . It wasn't too spicy and so if I ordered this again, I would ask for some chili oil on the side. My husband ordered the goma which was sesame paste based. Noodles were lovely. However my pork belly was pretty raw. Still worth it to go and try.

So this review is a bit late but thought I should still write it as my Dad (who only ever really…read moreenjoys eating steak and potatoes or sometimes a pizza) thought this was a good enough restaurant to return to. So what made it that great that my dad would give it such a high review? First, if you've never seen an advertisement for this place, prepare yourself for ongoing talking and some well rehearsed comedy from the chefs. There literally is a live cooking show being done with your meals right in front of you. This combination of humour and meal prep was a big hit for my family (the 5 of us were constantly commenting on how things were being cooked, what was new to us and encouraging the ongoing trials of the fork toss plus the salt and pepper tossing trick by the chef). Second, it might be a Japanese place but they have steak! You may have guessed with my intro but that was an important decision factor in choosing a restaurant. We wanted a different place for the early Christmas family gathering but something everyone could enjoy. Third, they're very diligent about respecting allergies. My sister-in-law gets very ill with her allergies. So it's nice not having to worry. They set her food specifically on one area of the grill and no other food was ever placed there. Hers was never combined with the rest of ours either. They also had a different soup for her to enjoy and did a vinaigrette on her salad instead of the house dressing. The food itself is a decent price for a fine dining experience and what you get with the dinner. There's soup, salad, grilled shrimp, grilled veggies and whatever you choose as your main. All with great flavour and you get two different dipping sauces - one being better for meat and other with vegetables. Obviously if you select the options of more seafood to accompany the main piece of the meal, the price is more expensive. We all kept it pretty simple. Two with shrimp dinners, two with New York steaks and one with teriyaki beef. We were all quite happy with our portions and if you feel you need extra rice, they will bring more out. If you have saved a bit of room, there's lots of dessert options too but that comes with an additional price. I really was quite happy with that large selection of mocktails to try but for those that want it, there's a large selection of mixed alcoholic drinks, wine, beer, etc. The place is accessible from the outside doors to the grill tables and even though my brother struggles to see in dim lighting, there's enough random lighting that we found a well lit spot at the table for him. I liked that I didn't have to watch for random levels or steps. There are a few booths throughout the restaurant for those that maybe want a more secluded meal but there's no grills for those spots. So after such a glowing review, why am I only giving it 4 stars? Well as I had booked ahead of time and specifically gave a number of 5 people for the reservation, it would have been nice to know we would not have anything started to be cooked, nor our meal order taken until they fill the rest of the table around the grill. If I had that information, I could have easily invited a couple of friends to join. However as this came to us as surprise, it meant even though we didn't know who was joining us, we were forced to awkwardly wait over 15 min to have them arrive and then start giving our order when they were ready. At least some of the drinks had made it out by then but the place was starting to fill up so the noise level was increasing. Luckily for us my mom randomly know the couple that was sat at our grill table but there were parts of the dinner you could tell they would have enjoyed having their own time as a couple (as I'm quite sure they weren't informed they'd be part of a bigger table being that they were surprised that my mom thanked them for arriving on time so we can now order when they are ready). It would have also been a different experience for my family too without the combined table situation. I had to remind the chef who's steak was being prepared due to the over eager guy wanting a well done steak the same time as a medium rare... Things eventually got served to everyone but only because I spoke up, I was able to get near to what I had requested (glad that my dad at least got his medium rare) even though everyone had reconfirmed orders when the chef was placing the meat on the grill. Lastly, the noise in the restaurant was so high at the end of our meal that not only did my dad stop trying to have a conversation but so did the rest of us. So instead of savouring dessert, I ate it quickly as all I wanted was to pay the bill fast and just leave the noise. I've gone once before on a week night back in April and it was more manageable for noise level. This being due to not all grills were full nor was the restaurant as full.

I didn't even know Sherwood Park has a Japanese Village and I hadn't been to one in about 15 years. We had 14 in our group but this wasn't an issue as we were all able to all sit around two grills with two grill cooks. Our server did a great job of taking our drink orders, filling up our water glasses and making sure we were happy. I personally started with a pint of their house beer and the Tuna Sashimi. Both were tasty. For my main course I had Teppan - Yaki Dinner (Teriyaki Chicken) It came with soup, salad and green tea. Our grill cook was a nice young man who brought a smile to our face and kept us chuckling. For the value, I was happy with my meal, the price I payed and the fun interacting with our cook. I would definitely go back with a group of friends.
