One roll had perfectly grilled pieces on top with avocado that added a nice smoky flavor, while the other had a great crunchy texture that balanced everything out really well. I also ordered what I believe was a matcha drink, and it paired perfectly with the meal. It was smooth, refreshing, and a nice contrast to the richness of the sushi. Everything tasted high quality and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the whole place had a great vibe. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in Banff and craving good sushi and a solid matcha drink. Service was great. But a little slow

It's on the saucier side and I find the pieces of fish on it are scrawny compared to when they serve sashimi. We got the pork tonkotsu and chicken ramen, a big boat, crispy calamari and Maui wowie (which did not wowie me at all ) All in all, worth the splurge but skip the sushi!

We ordered the miso ramen, the katsudon, and the katsu curry. The portions were large and everything tasted great. The katsu curry was probably the best dish since it actually had a spicy kick and not sweet like other Japanese curries I've had in the past. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was pretty authentic and I wanted to come back but it was closed for the next 2 days (Monday and Tuesday) so you should check their hours on the door just in case.

We wanted something fast to take back to our room and they had my phoned in order ready in 10 minutes. Got the katsu curry, chicken teriyaki bowl, and edamame. The katsu curry was very flavorful and the pork was not fatty. The chicken teriyaki was tender and not drowned in their mildly sweet teriyaki sauce. The edamame was cooked to order and still warm when we opened it in our room. This place is staffed by real Japanese folks so you know the food is legit..... and very affordable!

Ordered salmon sashimi, spicy tuna hand roll, shrimp and asparagus tempura. I'm not really ordering anything fancy so it's going to be all about freshness. It is Banff after all - nowhere any body of salt water...... It's just me and a friend so we sat at the sushi bar and watch all the action. They were very busy with takeout order (7:30pm Sunday) so took about 10 min for my food to come. All good. Sashimi - anytime the sashimi comes as thin slices it already score high for me = good knife skills and fresh ingredients. And it was yummy. Tip: ask for low sodium soy sauce. The tempura was only ok - the batter not as fluffy as I would like. So average. Goal of a simple dinner when one need a break from the bison, elk, caribou and beef.....check.

You'll need to walk downstairs to get in. It's an order-at-the-counter spot, and they bring the food to your table. They offer a variety of noodle dishes ranging from Thai and Japanese to Malaysian. I ordered the Thai tom yum noodle soup, and my husband got the beef soup. If you're looking for authentic Thai tom yum, this isn't it--it's more like tom yum broth with noodles added, which is different from traditional tom yum noodle soup. That said, it was still good enough for me. My husband thought the beef soup was just okay. The staff was nice and friendly. Overall, it's a solid and convenient stop, but not a must-visit for me.
