Sushi Bars in Banff

“Food are prepared by #REALJAPANESECHEF.“

“Grabbed a window table around 8pm and the view of the river lit up against the mountains almost upstaged the food, almost. The chef's omakase board had this seared torched salmon nigiri with a hint of yuzu that I'm still thinking about weeks later. Service was sharp and unhurried at the same time, our server clearly knew the menu inside out and paced things well even though the place was packed. Small detail but they validate parking at the lot across the street, which after a full day of hiking around Banff is exactly the kind of thing you notice and appreciate.“

“This is the most budget-friendly eatery we’ve found in Banff. It actually shares the kitchen with Vietnamese place next door, the same business split into Vietnamese and Japanese shops.

For the price, comfort (empty, lots of seats, can eat in peace and quiet), and hot food, we are happy with the place. Fried rice and ramen were satisfactory in taste and came in huge portions.

One of the servers (she’s usually on Vietnamese side) can be brusque at times but coming from Asia we’re used to that LOL. Just be nice and if she isn’t nice to you that’s on her 🤷🏻‍♀️“
