One of the ones that came up was this place. D and I agreed it was definitely a sushi night, and since he trusted her opinion on food we thought we'd give it a try. It was a quiet night there, which was good for us, only a couple of tables were filled, and honestly the first thing I noticed was the crazy colours of the labradorite flecks in the table surface. The tabletops are beautiful! At the right angle there were crazy hits of blue, green and gold that were unmistakably labradorite. Beautiful. Anyway we shared a pot of tea, which was delicious and very hot. D had a miso soup and 2 pcs of Unagi to start. I tried a sip of the soup and it was very fresh, nice flavour, not overly salty like some miso soups, and looked like it had just the right amount of tofu. I didn't try the unagi, it's good but doesn't always sit well with me afterwards (I've been afraid to have it since an incident in Vancouver - long story involving a long drive). My starter was a plate of beef tataki. I haven't had that in a long time, since it's normally quite expensive, but the portion size more than made up for it here and it was delicious. The beef had had just a touch of heat around the outside so it was deliciously rare throughout, the spicy sauce was amazing, and I had to restrain myself from licking the plate. We shared a Crispy California Roll that was almost as good as our favourite place in Vancouver so I'll be ordering those every time for sure - it's all in the unagi sauce they drizzle on top. It seriously makes all the difference in the flavour! It was so good I ordered a second one at the end. The other dish we shared was a Delicate Roll which is a really nice variation on a Philadelphia Roll but with a few additions. It was fresh, the salmon was delicious, and the avocado was just right. I'm not sure about the mayo drizzle on top but I didn't mind it. Next time I plan on trying the tempura, and honestly I think the only thing they're missing is a Las Vegas Roll...I'd eat there every week if they had that too! Our server was great, very chatty and totally familiar with the sushi we're used to since she was from the same area. All in all it was a pleasant experience in a clean, friendly setting and we left stuffed. I can't wait to go back for more.

This is a nice and quiet Japanese restaurant located off main street. Atmosphere: 3.5/5 Initially, we were the only customers there so it was a little quiet, but otherwise clean and nice decor. Lots of parking located in the mall where the restaurant is located. Food: 4/5 We had the sashimi salad, Haru special roll, and mango roll. Good variety on the menu - I like that in addition to the standard a la carte sushi and fresh rolls, there are a number of cooked roll options, many of which seem quite creative. Sushi was fresh and tasty.

We made a reservation several days before and on the day of, the reservation was mysteriously canceled. Quickly we made another reservation hoping this one wouldn't be cancelled. Arriving at the restaurant, we were immediately seated and then waited for almost 15 minutes before the server even came to take our drink order/food (4 x Ramen bowls, 2 x Udon bowls). As we waited, three groups who sat after us received both their drinks and food before we had received just our drinks (Bottle of Sake, a coke, a ginger ale and momoyoi). Two small groups has completely finished their meals before we had received our soup bowls. This ended with us finally getting our bill with the surprise of an automatic gratuity of 18%. We were told by the server several times that 18% was added to groups over 6, we we pointed out that we were a group of 6, she restated the 18% gratuity was for "6 or more". Unfortunately, this isn't stated anywhere in the website, see attached picture. Food: My ramen was adequate, not terrible but not great as well. Wakado, Jinya, Shiki Menya are better options

After a long wait and no checkups, the staff act like they can't be bothered doing their jobs. It is clear that management does not provide any training or supervision. This level of incompetence does not just happen. Let us discuss the mood. This is disgusting. I have heard enough about the cockroach problem in the building and management not doing anything that I really lost my appetite sitting there. If there is chatter about pests in a restaurant and nothing changes, that's a huge red flag. Especially for a place that should meet baseline AHS standards. They managed poorly the service was also not good. Countless sushi spots in Calgary don't leave you wondering about hygiene, safety, and life choices, and most are better than this one. Stay away from here unless you enjoy being ignored and grossed out.
