Paul singled handedly performed open heart surgery on me and my 3 friends while simultaneously providing top notch service and keeping the sake bombs flowing. Absolute legend. Great service, and I will be coming back for that salmon sashimi that whispers to me softly all the way from Calgary.

staff: friendly waitressservice: even with the lunch rush - orders were taken quickly and food came out relatively fast.establishment: small restaurant - nice big windows and bright light.food: amazing Sushi. Price is higher than in the big city - but as expected given it is in the middle of the mountains.

Asked us to wait outside for 20 minutes below freezing and never called us for a table. Hostess was less friendly than we’ve experienced in beautiful Banff. Next door is very authentic anyway and a better choice.

It's unclear whether the owner truly understands or has experienced authentic sushi. If Japan seems too far, I suggest taking a trip to Vancouver at the very least.

Service was fast and we had our food served in no time despite the busy evening. The waiter was very polite and friendly. I know they had a million other tables they were waiting on but they still made sure to check up on us and offer a welcoming smile. Appreciated the excellent service on a busy evening!

Great atmosphere in this trendy Asian restaurant. The service was friendly and the food was good. The sushi tasted fresh, the prices were reasonable and the drinks were good too.
Been here a couple times now and I’ve been impressed. The food is pretty authentic izakaya fare, it isn’t pushing any boundaries but it’s by all means not disappointing.Classics like karaage, takoyaki and agedashi tofu are well executed on the most part. The yakitori is great, the shiitake mushroom being my favorite. Fish items like the tuna and miso cod (particular highlight) are also notable. Sushi (maki/nigiri) is above average.Overall if you’re going for a casual Japanese meal I’d recommend this place, it’s pretty good considering the location and the service has always been pretty quick when I’ve visited.

The last couple years I’m basically becoming a part-time resident in Banff and this is always my first stop. The service is amazing. Ben is one of my favorite bartenders ever. The food is always incredible, from their staples to the specials I’ve never had anything that I didn’t absolutely love. Open a Colorado location please? Thanks for an amazing meal each visit!!!! Cheers!

The food was okay. We had a ramen and some rolls. It wouldve been a nicer experience if we only waited for a bit and not 30 mins before they take our orders and an hour before receiving what we ordered.

Server seemed like she was rushing us even when we just sat down to order, and when there was a mistake made on our bill, asked us to pay for an extra item more and didnt even try to figure out what went wrong??It's almost like we were not wanted there, would recommend avoiding this place if possible, the service is not up to standards.

If I can 0 stars I would. The lady was telling us to pay for extra food when we didnt and just said that half of our party told us our party was supposed to pay for when SHE was the one who put in the wrong order on the bill. Didnt even try to figure it out ??. WOULDNT RECOMMEND THIS
