    Watermelon, green apple, and passionfruit slush $5.50 each
    Benny W.

    Found this Japanese Restaurant in Chinatown. I didn't expect much because it is run by Chinese people. We ordered Ramen, and the Ramen was unexpectedly the best Ramen we had! The Tonkatsu broth was well seasoned, but not too salty. The Seafood Ramen had untraditional GRILLED seasoned shrimp and scallops. Taking the time to grill the seafood made this Ramen one of the best we've ever had. We also took advantage of the sushi happy hour, and the fruit slush specials.

    happy hr order, dont get saba or tuna
    Xenia V.

    went in for happy hour yesterday (2-5pm). very limited menu,no fancy rolls on discount. We ordered one of the specialty rolls anyways, the Osaka one- was ok, too much fake crab meat, no enough unagi, overall flavor ok. From happy hr menu we got tuna roll, splicy salmon, sashimi of saba, unagi , seared tuna and tobiko.Honestly, only unagi was good. Saba was not fresh at all, very fishy taste could barely get it down. Pickled ginger on the plate looked like it was taken from a dried out jar that was left on the counter for a week, we didnt risk consuming it. service was bearable but nothing outstanding, probably won't be back, many more places to go in calgary for sushi than this.

    Miso Soup

    Located in Chinatown (can I call it that? Well let's try), Calgary downtown core, this was my first experience with Japanese cuisine in Calgary. Entrance is through a mall so went in with limited hope. Wasn't hungry so unfortunately couldn't order a Bento box and stuck with appetizers. Miso soup was pretty good. The salmon salad and green tea ice cream both were standard affairs. Our hostess was a nice lady who helped us understand the options. Place is clean and tidy. Not too expensive either. My colleagues were happy with their extensive dinners so I guess I will return to try the main course.

    Lunch special
    Anthony S.

    If you're around Chinatown and need a lunch place to eat, I think the price is reasonable. The lunch special makes you full enough, and you get to eat Japanese food! The food is nothing too outstanding though, but it serves the purpose of having an overall yummy lunch. The miso soup came out warm, but there was a weird slight alcoholic aftertaste. My chicken was slightly drier than I expected, but still edible. The sauce on the chicken was slightly sour. Fish quality was reasonable. The salad dressing was good. The rice tasted like it was rewarmed and didn't taste fresh, but it was appropriately chewy. Ingredients overall felt fresh and clean. Overall, it was an average experience, but satisfactory.

    Friendly prompt service. Food good. This used to be Tokyo sushi but is under new management with a new menu. No all you can eat until after 2PM apparently.

    a view of the kitchen

    Grabbed some takeout for dinner. Really nice service and I really enjoyed the coconut shrimp. One of the best I've had actually. Tried some Maki rolls were pretty average. Miso soup was good bc there was more seaweed in it than you'd normally get.

    Pretty place, good service but the food is meh, nothing stood out. Their sides tasted better, sushi was good too. I suggest the lunch box special when you're here for lunch you get two entrees with salad, soup and rice.

    Love this place. Ditched my old haunt to go here instead and it was so worth. Okay, background info. I know my way around a kitchen, and I dont bother eating out if I can make it better myself at home. And sushi is a favorite. So about the place. Great location? Excellent view of the city and calgary tower. And atmosphere is nice and clean. I hate the music station, feel its a little out of place but I think the servers deserve to listen to what they like. Food. Excellent. Sushi is always fresh and cold, rice is soft but not mushy, and the rolls seem to be made to order so nothing thats been in a fridge for hours. Prices are great. 2-5 happy hour is the highlight, and a really reasonably priced 'all you can eat'. Also surprisingly delicious Ramen. Servers are fine. Always polite and not too pushy which is what I want in a server. As a final note, the mall attached always has a pokemon go lure going on. Worthwhile to stop in and eat during happy hour and catch some pokemon!!

    Spicy salmon roll, mackerel, scallop, eel, slightly seared salmon

    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.

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

    A great lunch spot with excellent bowls and rolls!…read more We visited Maru Sushi and Don multiple times during our stay in Calgary, largely because my daughter absolutely loved their food. We ordered a mix of dishes across our visits, including the Sanuki Udon, the Salmon and Spicy Pork bowls, and the Philadelphia and Flower rolls. The Rolls I'll skip a detailed review of the rolls since I didn't taste them myself, but they looked fantastic. They were meticulously wrapped, and the Flower Roll was exceptionally colorful and appetizing. Judging by how eager my daughter was to keep coming back for them, they must be delicious. The Udon (Sanuki Udon. Udon just means Noodle) We ordered the Udon, and the presentation was very solid. The noodles were neatly grouped and topped with the classic agedama (tempura flakes). The dashi has a standard, formulaic taste--I certainly didn't expect a from-scratch iriko base--but it makes for a very comforting and tasty-looking bowl of noodles. The Bowls I personally ate the bowls and ordered them twice because I enjoyed them so much. The concept is a bit like a Chipotle burrito bowl, but much closer in spirit to bibimbap with a lower rice-to-vegetable ratio. It perfectly fit my goal of eating lower-carb meals. The bowls are packed with a vibrant mix of mesclun greens, cucumber, avocado, edamame, corn, pineapple, and green onions. I loved the textural contrasts: tender salad leaves, refreshing cucumber, and the chopsticks-testing edamame. A great detail was the carrots--they were lightly blanched in a sweet broth, which removed the raw bite while keeping them perfectly crisp. As for the proteins, the salmon was standard, but the Korean-style spicy pork was the standout. They got it incredibly right. It tasted very authentic with a solid 5/10 on my spice scale, and the gochujang blended flawlessly with all the vegetables. Minor Critiques I only have two small complaints. First, the red cabbage and sliced radish were unusually bitter and didn't blend well with the rest of the bowl's flavor profile. Second, opting for brown rice makes the bowl pretty challenging to eat with chopsticks; the structure of the rice is loose and dry, making it hard to pick up. However, I still managed to clean my bowl completely while waiting for my daughter to finish her meal! Verdict Overall, I really enjoyed our meals here. If I worked nearby, Maru Sushi and Don would absolutely be in my regular lunch rotation.

    The reviews were good, so I stopped by for dinner to try some sushi by myself. The interior of the…read morerestaurant has a nice atmosphere and is a small space. The store staff was alone, so you might have to wait. I chose salmon, tuna, hokkigai, and eel from Nigiri's menu, and added agedashi- tofu and miso soup. First of all, Nigiri's rice was not tasty. It's dry, and unfortunately, the fatty tuna (toro) sushi I had was sinewy and difficult to chew. The salmon had cuts on the surface, but also texture was unpleasant to chew. I didn't feel like eating any more, so I left the restaurant. If I get the chance to come here, I'll try something other than sushi.
