Li-Ao is my favourite sushi restaurant in Calgary. The food is always so fresh and delicious! I’ve never been disappointed.

Also, if you haven’t met Henry, you need to!

Henry is such an incredible owner and truly adds something special to every visit. You can tell how much passion and care goes into both the food and customer experience.

10/10 highly recommend!

This place serves amazing Japanese food. Their sashini was as good as any I had in Vancouver. Perfectly cut, super fresh, and the size was just right. The miso soup was delicious and the house salad was generously portioned and tasted great.

I cannot praise this place enough. SO GOOD!

My boyfriend and I absolutely love this restaurant. We have a habit of ordering takeout from this location almost every weekend. The food never disappoints, the manager/staff are so friendly, and we will continue to eat here for years to come. Highly recommend!!
