We were staying one night near the Calgary Airport and the hotel receptionist recommended this place. I ordered the oysters. They had a not-so-fresh scent to them and the flavor wasn’t very good. However, I did not get sick, so I’m grateful for that. We ordered a few nigiri and again bland fish, not super fresh. The ramen noodle bowl was HUGE. And it had an interesting flavor. It almost tasted milk-based as if it was heading to be a curry Thai soup. Overall, it was ok. It filled out belly but didn’t satisfy our Japanese craving.

This used to be my favourite sushi restaurant in Calgary. I loved the salad and salad dressing, the freshness of the fish, the flavour of the special rolls, the rice and fried items on the menu as well. I felt this restaurant used to be outstanding. I’ve been here for dinner and lunch the past six years and I feel the quality has decreased somehow? The taste isn’t as fresh and delicious as I remember it was. They have lunch specials that seem lacklustre and careless. What stood out before, I think, was that they really went the extra mile in terms of quality and taste. Also what stood out the last time I ate lunch here was that it was too expensive for what I got. Don’t get me wrong, this is still a good sushi restaurant! I guess it’s just lost that loving feeling lately?

Went there with my partner for dinner last night and we both got food poisoning an hour after getting home. Not sure if its the toro or salmon. but it aint a fun time for the rest of yesterday and today still. Constant sharp pains to stomach and fever and diarrhea. Will not be going back there for dinner.

It’s ok. The feel of the restaurant and décor is one of the more authentic restaurants in Calgary, but for the price of the sushi, you’d expect a little more. Good quality food, no complaints about that; just lower them prices by 25%. A really good 1st date place.

It has been a while since I visited this place. I must say that the sushi was not as good as I remembered from a few years ago. The place was pretty quiet even for a weeknight and there was plenty of parking to be had, unlike my experience here in the past for lunch. There are plenty of staff around though but customer service is slow given the number of staff on hand. One thing that really turned me off on this visit was that a few staff memebers were standing around talking trash about customers behind their backs. This makes me think if they do that to all their customers. Perhaps if they concentrated on serving their customers instead of talking behind them, people would give them higher ratings on their customer service.

The sushi here is decent, but I find it pretty overpriced. They completely forgot two of the items I ordered and near the end I told them to just forget it and take it off the bill instead of waiting longer. The staff are friendly, but I’ve had much better sushi and service at other sushi places in Calgary!

A hidden gem in the NE part of the city where it’s hard to find a good Japanese restaurant. They have a great lunch menu and combos for lunch.

Not my usual sushi place but we were in the area. The fish was fresh, rice was not undercooked or over cooked, we also had the oysters and they were very good. The staff seemed very friendly. I was a little concerned because it was about 5pm and the restaurant was empty however the food was really good, prices are a little above average but the food will not disappoint. I will be going back.

this is absolutely the worst sushi place i have ever been to. Their service is absolutely horrible, their staff is rude, and their food doesnt taste fresh. Save your money as there are so many other places that are way better.

Best sushi in town! The menu is very big and has lots of pictures(which makes ordering much easier) sushi is always very fresh! They have lots of unique items that other places don’t have :) service is alright, could be better… Misai is quite pricey compared to all the other sushi places I’ve ate, but you paying for what you get! I think it’s totally worth it! Very satisfying :)

I had the sushi lunch selection(combo 1 I think it was), 8 pieces of sushi for around $ 15 which doesn’t sound too bad but 8 pieces is not very much, I left hungry. The quality was not bad(not amazing either), the main reason I am giving it 1 star is the service was very poor. The waitress’ enthusiasm(actually let’s just call it interest) was on par with what you would get from a toaster. If you are unfortunate enough to have to work in the area this might be your only sushi option, in which case I’m very sorry. I was getting my windshield replaced nearby and this place was walking distance, so I’m glad I’ll never have to go here again.

#100 This is my first check-in here and I had heard mixed reviews from others regarding the service at this restaurant. Still, I like sushi and wanted to try for myself. I ordered Lunch Combo B which consists of a spicy tuna roll(6 pieces), cucumber roll(6 pieces), California roll(6 pieces), and 2 pieces of what could be called an Alaska Roll at some locations(avocado, tuna, salmon, cucumber inside with orange masago on the outside). The precursor included a cup of miso soup which was not too salty and a Japanese house salad. Luckily, the blue fin tuna just arrived via courier so I will get to try one of the lunch specials, a blue fin tuna roll! Everything was fresh but the blue fin was extra fresh. I would like to rate this 4.5 stars but the service, while efficient and quick, seemed cold and dry like a 500ml Asahi. It was near the end of lunch and it seemed they were trying to rush us out. Since I have never dined in Japan, this could be a cultural thing. The ambiance is quite inviting and comfortable; it is not too loud and there are tv’s at the sushi bar area. Could be a great place for a first or second date. Note that parking is very limited and advice to the wise, carpool or take transit. It is also hard to make a turn in either direction on 32nd Ave. Apparently, you can fax an order to 403−250−3593 or do takeout as well. All in all, it’s a good place for lunch for sure and based on the quality for dinner but don’t expect the staff to go out of their way to be friendly(which sometimes can be a blessing if you’re trying to score on the alone time on your date).
