    Aging fish
    Tae Ho K.

    New York Quality Sushi!! WoW Best Sushi In Canada!!! FOOD: 5 (Amazing Sushi) SERVICE: 5 (Fast and Friendly) DECOR: 5 (Beautiful interior design) I can't wait to try aged fish next time! Each fished is aged in a different time period. Wasn't ready when I was there.

    As a Yank from the states one needs to remember the axiom that Canadians are not yelpers hence the low number of reviews when traveling through Canada. Ryuko Japanese cuisine once again was a great choice that my nephew recommended. Located in a unassuming building which from the outside does not look like the makings of a sushi restaurant. Everything was great with the wagyu cooked over a hot stone being a hit as I have previously experienced this at other restaurants. Another great find was for me to try the roll that had asparagus in it as I have never been a fan of this veggie. Combined with the other ingredients, one does not really taste the asparagus but when taking your first bite it gives the roll a nice "crunch" combined with the fish and other ingredients. a return visit to this place is definitely warranted on my return.

    Went for brunch and overall taste was great! Banana waffles were a bit heavy for our preference. The Tamago Benedict and Choushoku Tray were both good, but the tray I thought was a bit overpriced for what you get. Yuzu mocktail was too sweet in my opinion. We will probably go back to try their dinner menu.

    Tonkotsu Ramen

    My wife and I dined at Ryuko South for the first time on March 2nd. We had the Magurocamole as a shared appetizer (nice feature to have a little dry ice come out of the glassware), then we both had the Tonkotsu Ramen (delicious broth and fresh ingredients) and shared the Ikageso Roll (large sized rolls with fresh ingredients. In Young was our attentive server. We highly recommend Ryuko South and, most definitely, we will be back again.

    I don't know where you can find a more elegant lunch in this city for under $20. This is excellent value. Terrific food, great service, beautiful room. This is our 4th time here, more to come.

    Calgarys best sushi without a doubt. Service always on point and the sushi rice is always fresh. Great cuts of fish from Japan !!

    Wagyu beef tartare with taro chips
    MJ L.

    New resto in canyon meadows that is clean, modern and has high quality fish! They opened only 2 weeks ago and we sat by a window that opens (gasp!) which is unusual these days with AC. We began with the wagyu beef tartare which was absolutely fantastic with bits of what I'm guessing was octopus with cucumber and chives finely chopped and a side of fresh taro chips. This may not be for a traditional tartare purist but was a unique twist to the French version. The thick and sticky sesame sauce was awesome!!! Next we shared the veggie bibimbap which was a symphony of textures and flavours. There's no fast food shedded carrots and cucumbers but an elevated dish done simply. Would absolutely get this again! Last item was a 10pc sashimi that was served with real shaved wasabi- no green pasty powder ball here! Pieces were well sized and so smooth served on ice chips. Presentation for all dishes was top notch. Service was attentive without being intrusive as they topped up our water and checked our table. We were also lucky enough to taste a fruit meringue dessert that was a surprise since we did not order it. A light, creamy custard left us with a sweet but mouth cleansing ending. Give this place a try for sure!!!

    From the Happy Hour menu, tried the Wagyu Ishiyaki, Tempura Shrimp Udon, and the Yuzu Chu-bai drink special. As other reviewers have noted, everything was exquisitely prepared and presented. Service was prompt, polite, and friendly. A nitpick, but minus one star for the jarring background music, which I found too loud and intrusive for a relaxed dining experience.

    Yuzu pavlova
    Carey M.

    My nine year old wants everyone to know how amazing this place is. The service and the food. We eat GF for me and here offered a variety of starters and mains AND dessert. Highly recommend the yuzu pavlova if you want a little sweet ending. For the beginning we can recommend the salmon and hamachi Carpaccio (sans crispy onions which we swapped for green onions). Roasted tea - lovely. And only premium sake so have it cold. For those who prefer non-alcoholic go for the yuzu mock tail - the presentation is as tasty as the drinking of it. So glad this place is in the South. I've also been told that they do large parties and will open the patio for the summer. Coming back for sure.

    Menu item I had.

    From the moment I walked in, I was in awe. Fresh design and layout. Very busy for Thursday 7:00 PM. The food was fresh and very well presented. So many different serving platters.

    amazing food- we had a platter to share that apparently is not on the current menu but was recommended by our fantastic waiter Doby. it wS a mix of sashimi, nigiri and rolls- all were perfection to our entire group. from individuals new to eating sashimi to seasoned sushi lovers the platter was perfect to share with friends and the quality was perfection that everyone loved it all. I would come back for the platter for sure! beautifully done inside of the restaurant and the service was everything one could want with great recommendations And very lovely, I look forward to coming back soon And highly recommend to everyone!
