    Salmon nigiri & wild rice California rolls

    Been a full year since I was in Cochrane last. This is still the best sushi place I have found anywhere and I travel all over the country for work. Salmon nigiri is fresh and well cut, the wild rice California rolls are truly like nothing else! So rich and flavourful a definite must try.

    For a smaller place like Cochrane, I was surprised to find a pretty good Japanese place. I had the Poke Bowl. The presentation was outstanding. The food was fresh and flavourful. The portion size was just right. The amount of sauce was just right. I also liked how the place was very clean and tidy, with friendly employees.

    This is the most amazing Japanese restaurant I have ever come across in western Canada thus far. The food is crafted with the care of true masters . The saki is amazing ( I had the moon drop pear). I would go here anytime I want to enjoy a culinary masterpiece.

    Beautiful decor, tranquil and relaxing. Service is excellent, prices a little on the high side or would have given five stars

    Japanese-for-beginners in Cochrane. Very safe menu. Very muted flavours. Nothing too adventurous here. Kinda like a fancy Edo. Meh.

    Ramen Arashi is probably one of the best ramen shops in town. We actually wanted to try this…read moreyesterday in Banff, but the time and wait just didn't work out for us, so we aimed to try this today in Canmore. We finished up our day exploring Kootenay and ended up at Ramen Arashi around 7:30ish PM and we entered ourselves on the waitlist. It's a small shop, so we didn't get a chance to ask how long wait would be, but judging by the 10 min wait we did, the turnover seemed fairly quick. We just did a quick walk around the nearby grocery store and back and our table was ready. Between the four of us, we shared Chicken Karaage (2 orders) and a Pork Gyoza. My partner got the Arashi Ramen while I got the Yuzu-Shio Ramen. Order came out quickly. The Chicken Karaage was fried pretty nicely. Juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. It came with a sweet red chili sauce I believe. I think that pairing was okay. Sauce wise, I would have preferred an aioli or none at all. The gyoza were also made the same - juicy on the inside and had a crispy outer wonton shell. This sauce was spicy though! So if your spicy tolerance is low, taste at your own risk. My partner loved it! I just can't handle that spice level. Onto my main dish, the Yuzu-Shio was great for the chilly night! Ramen was perfectly cooked and had a bouncy chew to it. The pork was not too fatty and also tender. The spinach and bamboo shoots were great additional toppings. I wish they swap out the salad leaves with some more hearty veggies since the salad leaves break down with the hot soup pretty easily. Otherwise it was a great and satisfying dinner. I'm glad we got to try this while we were in Canmore!

    Food: chicken kaarage 3/5 was more like popcorn chicken with some sweet and spicy dipping sauce,…read morenot true chicken kaarage. Black arashi ramen 5/5 the sesame flavor in the broth really came through and the egg was cooked perfectly with a molten center. The whole dish was delicious and I would definitely go back for this. Service: took about 30 minutes to wait for a table, but its in downtown Canmore so I went to look at other nearby shops in the meantime. Once we had a table, service and food came out fast. They also do a lot of to go orders. Ambience: small little restaurant in a strip mall. Nothing fancy.

    *Late review* Came here at the ending of last year…read more Walking around the Banff town and heard good things about this place on social media and we saw the line was long outside so maybe there was some hype? The inside is very small and everyone sits around the conveyor belt. It is first come first serve so plan ahead if you wanna beat the lunch/dinner rushes. We went around 1:30 and it took us maybe ~40 minutes to get seated for a party of six (we didn't want to be separated). There is a sushi chef in the middle who makes the sushi right in front of you which is pretty entertaining. As for ordering, you can either ask the chef or your server. They are always putting different things on the conveyor belt so there is always an assortment of sushi to try. We weren't a fan of the sashimi but we did order a lot of the rolls. Their spicy ahi is different from what we're used to - it's just plain ahi with a drop of sriracha on top. Our favorite roll was probably the deep fried shrimp roll and California roll. You can't go wrong with that. We ordered the seaweed salad and potato croquette a couple of times. Price wise it's pretty expensive for the amount and quality that you get. All the food on the menu ranges from about $4.95-$7.95. IMO you're paying for the experience - sushi chef in front of you, conveyor belt, plates on a sushi train. There is one server for the restaurant because the seating area is so small, but the staff in general is pleasant. It's OK but hits the spot if you want a little sushi fix.

    Ok, so I was a bit apprehensive about this place because of it being "revolving sushi"; however, I…read morewas pleasantly surprised! You won't find an extensive menu with lots of fancy rolls, but you can get some delicious salmon, yellowtail, or tuna. They also make shrimp tempura rolls, California rolls, and desserts. My favorite was the atomic mayo tuna, so good! My husband enjoyed the scallop. The staff here is so friendly. It's a tiny spot, so depending on when you go you might have to wait. If you are craving sushi this a great place to grab a quick bite!

Veggies were a little plain. 4/5 large bowl Seafood chowder $17 a thin chowder with 2 pieces of toast. 5/5 hot matcha latte regular sweetness hand whisked. Husband got the steak bento box, I thought it was a smidge overcooked and maybe could have been seasoned a little more. I wanted to try the mochi and nirigiri, but they already had sold out (they said they usually sell out by 10/11am) and we were too full for any more desserts. Ambiance: was peaceful in the garden house Service: we made a reservation as recommended and got there early, but they were able to seat us early. Service is a little slow, but it goes with the take your time Japanese culture aspect. It was nice on a rainy day. By the time we finished eating, the rain had stopped!

    Amazing food and drinks! Definitely make a reservation!…read more Located in a garden store -- such a cute concept. Easy parking in lot and on street. Very intentional service and fresh produce offerings. We unfortunately never made it to breakfast and didn't have reservations, so we never dined in. We ordered the katsu sando and croque monsieur from the lunch menus and matcha latte. These were the best bites of our trip to Canmore/Banff! The matcha was good; we ended up picking up some again before ending our trip. I recommend adding the kinako topping.
