“We really enjoyed the food and the very friendly service!! I highly recommend trying the Hamachi Tower!!! Their yakisoba was also super tasty!!!“

“Best sushi in the city hands down!!“

“This place is amazing. Great atmosphere, super helpful staff and hostess. Rolls are perfect sizes, with a range of large and small. Our 10 yr old wanted dumplings and the 6pc Gyoza was perfect for him. All ingredients were super fresh, avocados were the perfect ripeness. Their signature seasonal deserts are pcs of art, the amount of time and detail on these are absolutely stunning. I would travel across the city for this place, luckily we’re really close. 10/10.“

Front staff really helped and were very accommodating ❤️Highly recommend❤️❤️❤️“

“very nice place and the staff is very friendly. And the sushi is the best, as well as the ramen noodles. Summer drinks go best with sushi. And you have a promo there. When you buy the next one, you get 50% off, which is pretty good. I recommend it to everyone.“

“This is a super cute noodle place with delicious food. I recommend the spicy garlic miso ramen and the marinated egg. Service was friendly and really quick, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. I will definitely make another visit soon and recommend Hu's to my friends.

Parking: Over ten spots available in an uncovered lot. Validate your parking at the tablet at the front desk for three hours of free parking.“

“Nice restaurant serving fast food options. Service is friendly, restaurant is organized, and our food came out quickly. We ordered the beef teriyaki rice bowls and mango sushi combo.

If you're looking for a quick place to grab a bite, this is a good option.

Kid-friendliness: Family restaurant environment. Boosters and high chairs available.“

“Just had an amazing customer service experience. the guy at the counter was friendly, efficient, brought the food out, and came back later with their new menu. this was all while they were busy juggling online and in-restaurant orders. Super impressed. Plus the food was fresh and delicious!“

“So worth it, the service is amazing, they are very so very nice, all the sushi was so amazing and delicious, plus they have very refreshing good fruit drinks that they make, we got the passion fruit strawberry one and im in love with it, will come back again 100%. The quantity, quality, and price it is so worth it. Would recommend to everyone!!“

“Good food Good service! Thumbs Up for a Delicious food we ate at Dorinku Tokyo. Surely to come back again for another taste…😊😊😊😋😋😋“

“Excellent service and great food! Highly recommended“

“Best sushi ever. 10/10. I was able to hold the rice gently so that it melted in my mouth, and the temperature was also very good. 100% intention to revisit

Although it cannot be compared to Japan's high-end omakase, the neta (fish) was very good and fresh, and I especially liked the rice grains that were soft and smooth in the mouth when eaten. I had salmon belly and tuna belly sushi, and it was oily and quite delicious. The rice was so delicious that I ordered it again, and the egg sushi I ate last took away the remaining taste in my mouth and was very refreshing. I finished the meal with the special Yuju Sorbet and finished the meal with great satisfaction. I plan to come back soon for my mom's birthday.“

“Where do i start? This was my first time here with my mom and we were blown away! Beautiful little restaurant, this place is a GEM! It was packed for a Wednesday, but the service was consistent and incredible! The tables have extra napkins and there's a nice container with some wooden chopsticks. Your food is served on little wooden boards which was awesome! The wasabi looked like it was in the shape of a flower. The details at this place are amazing . Alot of severers and all of them were so sweet and attentive . I love the tiny portions here, it lets you trt everything on the menu without getting stuffed on rice! The sashimi is small and thin, which is just perfect. Most of the items you get only 2 pieces, you get little rice and its great! Most ayce places give you so much rice with your rolls and the portions are huge. Everything here is delicate and balanced. The beef tatayki was my favorite! Three strips of deliciousness . It makes you order more! I really enjoyed getting my sushi in controlled portions. Because of this me and my mom ate alot. We tried the toro which was extra, but it was melt in your mouth. Theres also an option here to get raw food to cook on a stone! We didnt do that, but you can get fish, shrimp, mussels and steak! You cook it right at your table . Most of the food we had melted in our mouths. What i really enjoyed was that we got everything in all our orders. We didn't have to repeat any items like we do at other sushi places. 10/10, sushi toshi is our favorite place now!!“

“**Toyo Sushi**

O, Toyo Sushi, a culinary gem,
Thy rolls so fresh, a taste supreme.
With fish so tender, a delight to eat,
And rice so fluffy, a perfect treat.
A feast for the senses, a joy to behold,
A tale of flavor, a story untold.“

“Unsurprisingly, the food is such high quality here - just like the first/sister location, Moonga Sashimi. Our chef was excellent in conversation with the two of us and thoroughly educated in all things Japanese sushi - we had a great time learning about fish, different cuts, and an assortment of other information from him.“

“The food was outstanding, and I was impressed by the knowledge and care around my gluten-free requirements (Celiac). Our server was the nicest and made our first visit so enjoyable. I will definitely be back for more of that pressed salmon!“

“We eat here whenever we visit Edmonton... our favourite restaurant. Love, love , love the great food. Always fresh and tasty. Service is great. Incredible food and abundant menu selection. We’ll be back again soon.“

“The newly discovered treasure restaurant in Tunli has a lot of food choices upstairs. The downstairs is a good place for leisure and entertainment. You can play board games, mahjong, and sing karaoke. It is very suitable for family and friends to get together! ! !“

“It was a very good experience having meals in the restaurant, food are very delicious, I really like the mix and match Bento, too bad they only have it in the afternoon. Another thing I like to mention is that their customers service is excellent, we have Wing serving us today, I am giving her four thumbs.,👍👍👍👍“

“My little family was so excited to celebrate my post bday. Yay!

Food - Very delicious, soooo tasty, palatable. We're satisfied.

Service - very very good. Very accomodating , friendly and the staff are always smiling.

Atmosphere - Japanese vibes that I like. A little bit noisy because their are a lot of students coming in , near the UofA actually hehe. But aside from that. T'was excellent, great menu choices very affordable prices. (student rate) decent food and friendly environment.

And my son liked the atmosphere. Well definetely coming back soon! ?“

“I've been a Mikado customer and enthusiast since the owner (David) was a sushi chef at the original location back in the early 1980s. The fact that I (now 'we') continue to be clients of this fine establishment for over four decades pretty much illustrates how highly we regard this group of restaurants. 5.5 stars out of 5!!!“

“Went to get a drink while I was waiting for my passport application and ended up getting an excellent breakfast as well for just $8. super cheap, super good, and the guy working was excellent! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quick bite and he made it all in front of me :)“

“Service and food is alway excellent. Our family favorites are the Lava Lava roll, chop chop maki, salmon maki (kids can't get enough of the salmon). Our favorite Japanese restaurant in the city.“

“Best place in town! recommend!“

“Great food and great service. The area at the back overlooks Eden Park and the surrounds. I would recommend Nomiya as a place to go for a fantastic night out!! MM“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Excellent experience! I highly recommend this place excellent food and very inexpensive! Absolutely delicious ❤️“

“I love the dragon roll !“

“You have to get the sesame sauce here, I always pick up one to go. The food is always the same - which is great because I eat here often and love knowing I'm getting the same product every time.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs and limited mobility are just fine for this location. You can get in!“

“Came to get some sushi while on my break at my job, the cashier noticed I was tired and ask if I was having a long day (I definitely was LOL), as he finished up making my sushi he also gave me a free small bowl of miso soup saying “hope this makes your night a little better” ❤️ not only was the food amazing but truly lifted my spirits to have a stranger show so much kindness ☺️“

“Eat here regularly, always good food and good value, and have never had a bad experience. The Bento box B is my favorite, love having a pot of tea with my meal especially on cold days.

Vegetarian options: I love the yam tempura. Easy to order a veg. meal

Parking: big parking lot I have never seen it full.

Wheelchair accessibility: ramp close to door“

“Great service, food, and quality!! Sad to hear this location is closing :( Enjoyed our meal a lot and I respect all the effort in daily specials, custom drinks, and sake offerings! Will be visiting the Calgary Trail location more often going forward.“

“First time visiting, have lunch with my friend.
Ordered 2 sets, one $40 and the bluefin set $55

Foods are fresh, and good.
But I won't say it's good portion but enough, because a lot of rice.

The rice a bit hard, maybe I like a bit softer.

May be back for dinner next time .“

“Checked this place out for the first time and we weren't disappointed! All of our sushi was fresh, well presented and reasonably priced. The miso soup was piping hot and very tasty. The unagi roll was one of our favs, and with 4 huge rolls, the 2 of us left stuffed to the brim with delicious sushi, our bill was ~$50. The servers were all friendly and helpful, so glad we stopped in!“

“Excellent dining experience, quick service. The sashimi was overly generous and would be more enjoyable in smaller more elegant pieces. The tacos and other unique menu items were an interesting addition to the traditional sushi menu. Many items for non sushi eaters in the group. The butterfish and white tuna was fresh firm. Will be back.“

“What a great find! Sushi was yummy, fresh and fast. I have celiac disease and our server was knowledgeable and let me know what was safe and not safe to eat. They have gluten free soya sauce too. It was a pleasure dining at I Love Sushi and definitely will dine there again.“

“I've been a Mikado customer and enthusiast since the owner (David) was a sushi chef at the original location back in the early 1980s. The fact that I (now 'we') continue to be clients of this fine establishment for over four decades pretty much illustrates how highly we regard this group of restaurants. 5.5 stars out of 5!!!“

“Food was very good. I had the beef Bento and everything very good. The tempura was perfect, so was the sushi. The beef looked a bit plain at first glance but the sauce was excellent and it was tender. Now I'm not sure what good value for a Bento box is anymore, it struck me as a bit pricey, but it was quite worth it. So I do recommend.“

“As a first timer at Kabuki Sushi I was very impressed with the level of amazing customers service and quick service. Our phenomenal hostess Sora was so warm and welcoming. Her knowledge of dishes were fantastic. I definitely would recommend the green tea it was perfect. I had such a delightful experience and will definitely comeback for more amazing entrees. 10/10 for me“

“I love the dragon roll !“

“I was so excited to try this place and it did not disappoint, the wait time after we ordered was about 15 mins. The flavours of the food is so good! We went with assorted sushi and Unagi was served warm and it was delicious and probably the best one out of all the items that we tried. The place have a lot of tables even for bigger groups, the place was quiet even when pack with people.

The place is close to high level bridge and walterdale bridge which i would say a nice walk after eating here would be nice too.

Parking: Parking lot in front of the business. around the area too close to the high level bridge.“

“Very fresh and well prepared Sushi“
