First time here. Waitress was very attentive and super friendly. The salmon sashimi was the ticket I've ever had and delish. We had 5 specialty rolls that were amazing. The rice and all ingredients were super fresh and slightly warm. Awesome! Best sushi I've had in Calgary!

Me and my daughter love this place. It’s our favourite sushi spot it’s close to home and the service is always so wonderful. We go on our mom and daughter dates to Li Ao once a month. Sometimes they give out one roll of sushi on the house for us to try. Love this place.

Li-Ao Sushi in Nolan Hill is arguably among the best in its price class! Generous portions of sashimi, surprisingly nice presentation of things like the tuna tataki and excellent, friendly service means we will definitely be back!
