I would never visit this place again, service was terrible. They were in a terrible rush to give the table to someone else. Food was bad as well. Sushi s were the worst I've had in town. Desserts were okay but wasn't given time to eat what I paid for. Never try this place for sushi and 100 percent not worth it was the price through. I dont even understand why its priced so high for what they're providing.Ambience was good and so was the food presentation.
Food was fantastic sushi rice was perfect not too much mirin or too little in the rice. Fish was fresh, fresher than expected. Will come back for the expensive cuts. Justin provided excellent service and was very attentive through the night. I would take my mother to this place. 10/10
We had an amazing experience at Sukiyaki House. We ordered the chicken karaage, which was perfectly crispy and had a delicious sauce. The gyoza were packed with flavor, and the sauce added a great spicy kick. The spicy shrimp was incredible, somehow crispy and creamy at the same time. The yakitori had a wonderful smoky flavor that made it a standout.The salmon belly pressed roll absolutely melted in my mouth. The sashimi and nigiri were incredibly fresh and had that same melt-in-your-mouth quality. For dessert, we had the sake crème brûlée and green tea ice cream, which were the perfect finishing touch to an already fantastic meal.What stood out even more than the 10/10 food was the service. Our green tea was always topped up, the servers checked in regularly, and we genuinely received som
What kind of a magical place is this? Every single item we ordered was outstanding. And the cocktails? Please, somebody stop me from ordering a fourth drink! Simply fantastic! And this is coming from someone who isn’t a fan of sweet drinks. Every one of them was perfectly balanced and truly unique. Think miso-caramel (but not sweet at all) and passion fruit ting with matcha and pandan… I mean…You’d be lucky if you met Judith and Justin (siblings) and Charlotte, all fantastic waiters. And the amazing chefs whom we got to sit right in front of and whose craft we got to watch.Ok, enough said, just get down here and check this place out for yourself. You won’t regret it.
+ Food was very tasty! They definitely have one of the best sushi/nigiri in Calgary!+ Service was top-notch. We were seated right away and taken care of in a timely manner+ Ambiance is calm and welcoming. Dimly lit, clean, and plenty of tables± I would highly recommend reserving as the restaurant was almost full when it opened for dinner± Parking is available for free just behind the restaurant after 6 PM± Price range of ~$25+ for food. With a few appetizers going below $15.

Bar far the best sushi spot in YYC. The staff was exceptionally engaged and tentative. Such a great family owned and operated business. They have accommodated my young family many times, made origami out of oranges for the kids, even carried our infant around so we could enjoy the amazing sushi. Amazing staff, environment, and the best sushi this side of Tokyo. If you don't go your life is incomplete.
We always enjoy Japanese food and the Sukiyaki House didn’t disappoint. Best gyoza we’ve ever had. They are handmade by the restaurant and are full of filling and flavour. We had Nigiri Dinner and Mixed Tempura. Both meals were delicious. The tempura was perfectly lightly battered and contained prawns, carrots, beans, asparagus, enoki mushrooms and more, served with matcha salt - absolutely fabulous.
Great sushi ! Choose the spicy tuna ( Big Rolls ) so tasty. Very friendly staff and nice clean bathrooms.
Had supper here on a Friday night. Excellent service and food. Our server had excellent knowledge of the wine list, and made excellent suggestions. Food arrived very quickly, and every dish was delicious. Highly recommended.
We had a truly fantastic dinner, enjoying sukiyaki, yakitori chicken, tempura and more. The desserts were a class on their own. Service was great as well. In fact we were so happy that we decided to have dinner here again the next day. And again it was outstanding. Highly recommandend for sure!
Food and service are always excellent! Thank-you!
