The Sushi Bar

Amazing sushi price is good to love it been to lots of sushi places in the city this is my favorite and is also the best tasting love love love this place can’t say enough how good it is

They’re back in business! I was driving by tonight on the way home and the open sign was on. Not sure what caused the hiatus, but happy they’re back! I actually wrote the first review of this place but it says it’s not a recommended review. Don’t know what that means. Anyway, had the $ 12.99 dinner special and it’s still the same great quality. Have a look at the picture. Give this place a try and hopefully they can stay open for good this time.

I’m so happy Unilocal led me to Sushi Bar. It’s hard to find a sushi place open on a Sunday before 5pm, especially in the suburbs.
It was a bitter cold day, so we were the only ones in the tiny restaurant, but I can imagine once people start coming, they will return repeatedly.
To start, our sever was fantastic. She explained all the dishes and made sure to answer any questions we had.
The menu is quite large and have a great selection of rolls, sashimi, apps and hand cones. I have never seen such an extensive list of hand cones with unique fillings.
The menu colour coded for pricing. A great way for those on a budget. I could not believe how cheap it was for such quality food. Everything was fresh, nicely plated and the rice was perfectly cooked. We ate like pigs. The bill came to $ 50 for the two of us.
They have a great mid day deal. for 13.00 you can get a choice of three items on their lunch menu list, plus soup, salad and rice. How can that be beat?
I cannot wait to return and try out everything else on the menu.

Not overly expensive — the way the menu is laid out it is really easy to keep track of the cost while going through the dishes.
Not the best sushi — maybe it was because I was there on a Tuesday, but we were the only people in the restaurant (6pm). More started to show as the evening progressed (it was pretty slow) so maybe this is more of an evening place. We didn’t get any of the «tasters» the other reviewers talked about — but we hadn’t read the reviews before we went so we didn’t plan on getting any either.
My sister has been here a ton and loves the place. For me it wasn’t anything special, Actually it was a little disappointing.
The interior looks straight out of a makeover show. Everything is new, clean, and sleek when you walk through. While you’re waiting for your food though (and trust me, you’ll have time) you can’t help but see that some of the areas are starting to fall apart already. A quick patch — even with some glue — would take care of the problem. This was my first time going, so it may be that the slats had just come loose right before opening and the restaurant looked really really clean so I haven’t dinged any stars because of that.
The sushi itself is either on the bland side or waay over done. Sauces and garnish either abounds the plate or is totally non existent.
Will I go back? Probably, but not until I’ve given some of the other sushi places around here another test run.
Oh — and no drink menu makes it really difficult to order anything they may be promoting or have on special. Actually it makes it hard to order anything at all…

What a great experience. Once our family of four walked thru the doors, we were greeted with a clean, sophisticated atmosphere. Some great jazz was playing, and our host was very accommodating without being annoying. Our nine year old son isn’t a fan of Sushi, but after tasting some tempura we might make him a believer! Great kids menu that had more than enough to satisfy (and beyond!) his taste buds. We ordered off the menu from a wide range of choices. Whilst we were waiting, our host gave us some tasters from the chefs. Right away we were hooked and were drooling for more. Had a great beer, sorry forgot the name, and my wife had a tea. Not a tea in a thimble like most places, but an actual adult size mug!
After dinner I wanted more, but my stomach was giving instructions for my brain to stop. Some of the best sushi in Calgary, definitely will be going again. Forget places like Edo which is in the strip mall behind it, that stuff is like tasting cardboard after eating here.

This was the second time i’ve been in to what is a relatively new place, but the first time that i went with the family. We have a 5yo. that seems to hoover up everything that is placed in front of him, but it is sushi and he is 5!!! So we went for fathers day, with a little trepidation anyways. The small plates on the conveyer belt were one of the biggest hits, all for the novelty factor. The sushi was star tho, as he tried, nigiri, gyoza, springrolls, rolls, and tempura (prawns, yams and octopus). oddly enough the only thing that he didn’t like was the texture of the mango on one roll. The food impressed both my wife and i, and we didn’t touch the menu. So i think we’ll be even happier when we do, as i feel most sushiboats are the lower end of quality. The interior is impressive due to its location in a stripmall between a Macca’s and a liquor store, and the staff were all pleasant, friendly and helpful. All in all this is a place i would go out of my way to get to, it just so happens that it’s just down the road from home. we will all be back.

Love this place!
Great to have a nice sushi restaurant in the area since you have to go quite a ways otherwise. Given the general area, walking in I was expecting much less, but it’s beautifully renovated and very comfortable.
The staff is really knowledgeable — we learned new things about the cuts of fish and what a difference it makes in sashimi. Trust in the waiters’ recommendations, he knows his stuff :)
Everything I’ve eaten here has been fresh and delicious, and the sauces are excellent. The special rolls they make are crafted really well, and non sushi items are just as good.
The owners are very friendly and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. They’ve got great smiles and converse if you want.
The actual rotating sushi bar is stocked with a variety of things too, not just standard nigiri. Prices by the plate for everything, and not too expensive, especially given the quality of the food.
