This place is situated in downtown Calgary and it a quiet but cozy busy place. There are two sushi chefs. Seating was quick and service does not lag once you're seated. An odd part of the decor is that the chairs are falling apart but remain comfortable. We started with a house salad that had fruit, and ginger type salad. It was crisp and crunchy and fresh. The miso soup was ok and soy sauce improved it. I loved the spicy prawns in chili aioli and chives. This dish is a surprise because it's covered in aioli and appears soggy, but has a surprise crunch to it that is an unexpected food delight. The grilled chicken teriyaki was a spin on a classic dish. The chicken was well grilled, and a little dry. The saffron and green beans were a nice touch. The sauce was not smothers over the chicken and was more of a dipping sauce. I also shared a tempura vegetables and it was well done . The cost of this place is surprising affordable and a good meal for the price. This place is worth visiting again. read more

Excellent sashimi platter. Seven selection including tempura shrimp head and special tuna from Japan. Great service

Best sushi in Calgary! A pleasure to look at and delicious and fresh. Service is very attentive.

Stopped for lunch, had the lunch bento, a handroll, a roll, and two drinks to split with one other. 5/5?Lunch Bento- great variety, salmon was nicely seasoned, nigiri fish tasted fresh and rice had a good texture (was a bit too much rice per fish). Tempura didn't have variety and wasn't very crispy, but nice and light. Sushi roll was good, as was the spicy shrimp. The star of it all was the salad- not your traditional ginger sauce, had a lovely citrus sauce with apples, walnuts, and mixed greens. 4/5 Handroll- Great flavor and texture combination 4/5 Roll- MASSIVE BITES. Each piece was probably 1.5 times the size of a normal piece. Good flavor and crunch, but not much salmon skin for it being a salmon skin roll 1/5 (Un)honorable mention- Yuzu lemonade was watery and tasteless 4/5 Honorable mention- Bloody Mary/Ceasar with a shrimp was lovely Pricie was high but comparable with other restaurants in the area. Decor was modern and clean, service was polite and quick. read more

I ordered omakase. Chef Koji Kobayan created an epic meal for us. We ate so many things, so I'm just going to highlight a few dishes. We tried the Rice Cracker with Deep Fried Salmon, Potato Salad and Yam Crisp. The crunch of the batter against the soft creaminess of the potato salad was killer. The salmon itself was flavourful, made even more richer with Koji's special homemade teriyaki sauce. Our fourth course was the Matsutake Soup with Crab. The soup arrived boiling hot. The broth was clear and clean, which allowed the subtle flavours of the crab and mushrooms to shine. The wild BC pine mushrooms were thinly sliced, with a fragrance similar to sake. Drinking this soup felt so nourishing - simple but refine. A4 Wagyu Nigiri. The wagyu was torched and and then a ton of black truffles was shaved on top. The flavour of the truffles was gentle and earthy. The texture was feathery and light. Seared, the wagyu gave off a mouthwatering smoky flavour. I loved the crunch of the salt. I thought this was an elegant bite. My favourite course was the Lemon Dengaku. Dengaku is similar to a cheesy seafood motoyaki but a billion times better. Half a lemon was filled with mussels, crab, scallops, asparagus, enoki, and matsutake mushrooms, then baked with a creamy, sweet miso sauce.The flavour and freshness of the the seafood wowed me. The sauce had the perfect amount of saltiness in it. The lemon wasn't overpowering - just enough to perfume each bite. Koji created a beautiful platter of nigiri for us. This was an advanced sushi tasting. Each nigiri pairing was an adventure. The bluefin chu toro was topped with sturgeon caviar. I liked how the salty pop of caviar mingled in with the fatty creaminess of the toro. The "Mother and Child" sockeye with ikura and chrysanthemum petals was another winning salty, creamy combination. The hamachi (yellowtail) was juicy. I found the lime zest with the kanpachi subtle. The cuttlefish had a pleasant crunchy texture. The bluefin tuna in the negitori with shredded kombu was soft and buttery. Totally worth it and then some. If I were in Japan, our bill would have been four times as much. In Vancouver, at least double. Sukiyaki House imports a lot of their seafood from Japan and source some of the freshest seafood, which makes sense why the food is even better than I can get in Vancouver. read more

This is one of the better sushi restaurant in town. I came here and tried the lunch bento box for $25. It came with soup and salad, choice of beef or salmon, assorted chef special sushi and prawns. I loved it. Its definitely one of the better sushi that I have ever had in Calgary. The sushi came out fresh. The salad is unique and tasty. The roasted walnut bits are glazed in sweet honey which made it unique. The salmon was nice even though the piece is small. Loved the miso soup. It had lots of seaweed (I like seaweed) and tofu. You can tell that they made it in house. This sushi restaurant is comparable to the restaurants in Vancouver. (Never been to Japan so don't know if its comparable there). The restaurant is quite small and you definitely will need to make a reservation (if not you might have a chance at the bar high chair). Atmosphere clean and trendy décor. Highly recommend coming here. Loved their Japanese food! read more

I've been here a few times and their food never disappoints. Their menu is simple, food is delicious and definitely authentic. Pricing is on the higher end side but it is justified due to the quality and presentation of the food. If you're looking for authentic Japanese cuisine with spectacular service, come here. Their sushi is ultra fresh and carefully prepared, and I also highly recommend their tempura! read more

I remember this place back in High School as a real step outside the nine dots, and something I didn't want to return to. 30 years later, I have gotten a little smarter. Thankfully. Went in with a friend last week. This is good Japanese food. Traditional. No stupid roll combos, cheese sushi, or other silliness. Just high quality ingredients offered in simple, perfect presentations. Suzuki is served here, you don't see that everywhere. It was delicious. Ditto the Gyu-niku Tataki. Nigiri sushi was flawless. Matched beautifully with a Daiginjo. Yum. Chef Kobayashi performed a little Katsuramaki (peeling into thin sheets) on a cucumber after lunch, with a big Hochou, had to be 14" long. You don't see that around here much either. Nice to see that level of skill. If you love pure Japanese, this is a good choice, and a good value. Nice people too. I'll be going to one of their Keiseki events for sure. read more

The previous reviews told a lot about this place. Pros - great food. Cons - loud atmosphere / slow service. Overall really enjoyed the food just had some more to be desired from the service.

Christine L. referred me to the Sukiyaki House. Definitely was not disappointed. Ordered Seafood Sunomono, Sashimi Dinner and Rice. My friend ordered the Chicken Teriyaki. Our miso soup to start was delicious. The salads had a nice light sauce that was very tasty. The seafood was one of the best dinners I have had, the seafood is actually tasty which is unlike landlocked Alberta. My friend really enjoyed the chicken teriyaki. We polished off our dinner with an amazing mochi dessert. Oh yum it was simply delicious. The restaurant has a nice clean ambience. You will certainly not regret eating here if you like fresh tasty seafood. The owners and staff are super friendly too! Be sure to make reservations, this is not the kind of restaurant you can walk in and automatically assume you will get a table. Last night was very busy with the upcoming 4 week dining in restrictions taking place after closing tonight. read more

The Bottom Line: The food, the service, the restaurant, all three are excellent. Come here for excellent Japanese food, return because of the service! Try: Organic Miso Soup Waldorf Salad Vegetable Tempura Shrimp Tempura Grilled Teriyaki Chicken California Roll Pro: Everything. The soup was savory yet light, the salad was crisp, with hints of tang and sweet, the tempura was crunchy and fried just enough. The grilled chicken was thick, juicy, and had the outside cooked just right to seal in the juices and provide texture. The accompanying vegetables were also outstanding, soft yet with enough resistance to give a nice bite. The service was just amazing. They were friendly, of course, and knew when to check in, but they went above and beyond. After finding out that some of us are vegetarian, they made a custom vegetarian sauce for the tempura. We didn't even ask, they did it of their own volition! The restaurant itself is elegant and minimalist. Would absolutely recommend. And the price is worth it. Con: None! read more

The food was amazing their service was NOT. Especially their wagyu beef tataki and their tuna carpaccio + tataki. The mushroom miso was also delicious. Their fish taste super fresh and high quality. However I cannot say the same for their staff and service. My friend was seated for 10 mins before they finally served her water while she waited for me to arrive she only received the water and service after I arrived. We had to wave down a waiter to take away the plates we had already finished and he did not care to take them all only a couple and did not hear us saying excuse me! Our original waitress was done her shift and did NOT even inform so we were looking for our waitress and trying to wave down some service to order dessert until we asked one of the other waitresses to get our waitress to only be told in a rude tone "she already went home for the day"... ok??? So we then asked her ok so are you our waitress now? And she said in an unpleasant tone "ya" didn't seem like she wanted to serve us. Our friends noticed the bad attitude and couldn't believe how bad the service was here. No one came to ask us once "how was the food" "is everyone ok" "do you guys need anything else" when we had no more tea and water we had to wave down for more service once again.. I hope they teach their staff or replace them. I would only come back for the food if someone really wanted to try this place but I'm not going to promote this place or suggest it to any of my friends. read more

2.5 STARS I totally dig the ambiance... It's a cross between modern and minimalist with a hint of Asian vibe. I could imagine closing the place up and throwing a dinner party here with an open sake bar. We came here and the place was dead. We were greeted by the hostess and got seated right away. Glasses of water were delivered right away as well..which is good. Looking at the sushi list. It wasn't at all impressive. There were a lot of rolls that contained cooked seafood. In my book. You are not a legit Japanese 'SUSHI" restaurant without all the yummy RAW FISH. My excitement died...so we just ordered something minimal... (Trust me, i go all out at a japanese restaurant..first time in my life my table only consisted of one makimono roll) *Beef Tataki: thinly sliced seared beef tenderloin topped with garlic chips and a citrus soy vinaigrette. I totally loved how the meat was perfectly seared. It was red and thinly sliced, and easy to eat. It was so addicting, I wanted to order a second plate. The only thing is... the vinaigrette sauce isn't that balanced. It was too much on the acidic side. a dash of sugar in the sauce would have done the trick. or some Sherry wine. *Organic Miso Soup: A bit bland. The addition of mushrooms was an excellent choice. Didn't get much tofu and seaweed on my bowl though..which I usually expect in my miso. *Toro Sashimi: ooooh. we got lucky as we got the last 2 slices. They were TOO THIN. I know Toro is the most expensive fish out there... but don't be all cheap with it. People who will order Toro will know they would have to pay at least $12 for 2 slices. So oomph it up a little bit. *Prawn Tempura Dynamite: Eh. didn't do much for me. It's such a kindergarten roll. Nothing fancy. If you're a sushi newbie, or a sushi scaredy cat... come here and practice on their "cooked" rolls... however..if you're a sushi monster like myself... don't even try. read more

Wt? How have we not gone to Sukiyaki House before??? This place is fantastic to try some high end Japanese food right here in Calgary!! Maybe it is the name of the restaurant that threw us off as it sounds sooo westernized even though it really isn't. In any event you need to try this place out if you want to have some super interesting and tasty sushi or other Japanese dishes. We had fabulous recommendations from out waiter whose name we have now figured out is Judith by way of other reviewers. She correctly called the Wagyu beef tataki and the sake clam appetizers as the ones to go for. We were a bit skeptics of the Waygu beef but this is the real Macoy from Japan. So marbled. Not your Alberta raises "wagyu". The flavours and ponzu sauce were so well balanced. The clams with sake butter sauce was a like a divine intervention. We ordered a bowl of steamed rice to have with it to utilize the sauce. The othe app was a jack capaccio. So subtle and delicate the flavours coming together. It was one of their weekly specials this week. We also had the Japanese prawns which had the head deep fried. Super interesting although it was did not make it in our top picks for tonight. We finished with the assorted sashimi dinner which turned out to be a decent value give you had salad and miso soup thrown in. And to finish off we ordered the trio dessert and the mocha with red bean. Both excellent. Next time we will just orde the mochi and red paste but with a scoop of matcha ice cream on the side. Judith's mom makes the desserts. Excellent stuff. So surprised of how good it was. Right under our very noses. As god as some of the finer Japanese restaurants in Vancouver. We will definitely be back. read more

Best chicken teriyaki I've ever had! The sauce was light and not overpowering. Amazing flavor to that and the chicken!! The quality in flavor and presentation was incredible!! We were very impressed. Having lived in Japan my standards of Japanese food is rather high. This place impressed. The Waldorf salad was beautifully presented and simply delicious! The gyoza was crisp on the outside and perfect on the inside. Great flavors! read more

Me and a friend went to grab something to eat before heading home for the day. At 6:00 on a Friday this restaurant was nearly empty. You can make reservations ahead of time on open table which is helpful if you can't squeeze in a phone call. The service was great, taking away plates and refilling the drinks and even seating us at a table right by the heaters as it was freezing outside. The courtesy of the staff alone would be a reason to go again. The food was pretty standard for a sushi place in terms of menu, your pick of nigiri, sashimi, and specialty rolls as well as a hot menu. One thing to note was that everything came out hot and tasted fresh. AN IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE is that if you order the yam tempura they will give you the whole yam, which I am not complaining but just make sure you're hungry enough to eat it all. This place is very clean and contemporary. Good for kids and as it is downtown there is no private lot of parking outside for this restaurant. read more

We decided on Sukiyaki House because it was close to the Marriott, and was not terribly disappointed in the decision. Miso Soup was among the best I have EVER had.....nothing like the Miso anywhere else....full of Tofu, seaweed, green onion and shiitake mushroom. Not salty at all! House salad was tasty, but not the typical Japanese house salad....the dried cranberries, candied walnuts & Apple slices threw me off - but it was tasty....as long as you don't expect traditional ginger dressing. Agadashi Tofu was crispy and HOT......so yummy. Ordered salmon sashimi; fish was super fresh and melted in my mouth, but the bit of skin left on each piece was a bit of a bummer. California Roll is tasty, with REAL crab, but not a substantial portion , but it's pretty inexpensive. Stampede Roll was quite good, with lots of flavor. Not sure why anyone would rate this place as expensive, the prices were quite reasonable, especially for a gal used to Los Angeles prices. I would definitely come back. read more

I was impressed. The service was excellent. Drinks frequently refilled, polite and friendly service. The food was a little bit on the pricier side, but I feel it was worth it. Beautiful decor and ambience, it feels like you are actually going out for dinner. The items we ordered we're plated beautifully and tasted divine. Highly recommended! read more

Pleasantly surprised. I am a old foodie from when Japanese Village and Sukiyaki House were IT for Japanese food in the downtown core. The neat thing about Sukiyaki House was that the sushi was always good, but the old location on 10th always had a musty smell due to the weird fountain / fish pond in front. So, onwards to the new location on 9th. Food - EXCELLENT sushi, prep and presentation. I sampled the spicy salmon roll and the spider roll - these are couple of the best rolls I have had in a long time in DT. There is a crunch to the very flavorful salmon roll that is a must-try. And the spider roll which I find is a hit and miss in Calgary rates a 10 / 10 here. It has been cleaned so there is no "intestinal" taste, and the tempura batter is very light and well done. I will definitely have these again. Their Atlantic salmon sashimi is also very fresh. In fact, all the fish items were fresh, no misses here. Service - efficient, friendly, non-intrusive. Tea cups are filled regularly to ensure they remain hot and full, and the wait staff will ask if everything is OK. Parking - 2-hour street parking in front with Parkplus, a lot across the street and building parking in surrounding area. Easy to find a space. Overall, would rate this a solid 4 / 5. I took off 1 small point for groups larger than 4 people. The high celings make for a noisy place (which is not bad at all if you have 1-4 people at a small table), and for larger groups seated at long tables, you cannot hear someone three spaces over. Will definitely return, esp. for the rolls. For sentimental reasons, sad there were no more love boats offered. read more

Got treated to lunch by my good friend at Sukiyaki House. I had the Chef Sushi Sashimi Box with miso and salad. I asked if I could have all salmon and they okayed it! I love salmon especially sashimi. Very delicious and fresh salmon. My friend ordered off the sushi list and had tamago, salmon sashimi and a spider crab roll. She thoroughly enjoyed her meal. Excellent wait service. Will be back for more! read more

This was great. The miso soup was excellent and well presented. I had the spicy tuna roll and another roll and both were excellent. My lunch date also really enjoyed her food too (dynamite roll and avocado roll). It does get busy so lunch reservations are a good idea. Service was also very good. Any delays that occurred were acknowledged and they were quick to clear empty plates and refill water which was appreciated. Prices were quite reasonable too. My only complaint is that it can get quite loud in there over lunch, making conversations hard to do from time to time. I'll still be back though! read more

Be forewarned that this place is expensive - like $20 bento box expensive. But the food is really good, so I don't mind splurging here every once in while. A coworker and I headed over for lunch and split the gyoza, spicy salmon roll and prawn dynamite roll. They don't skimp on ingredients - everything is fresh and the rolls are decently proportioned. And unlike most Asian restaurants, the service is really good here. So if you ever find your pockets lined with a little extra money, give this place a try - I think you'll like it as much as I do. read more

A great downtown sushi restaurant for lunch or dinner. My favorite part of Sukiyaki is the fact you can take non-sushi loving guests given it's full menu that caters to all. Not only is the sushi excellent, all of their choices are beautifully plated with unique flavors. The fish quality is the best in Calgary and service is quick with an excellent bar selection. I host business lunches and dinners at least twice a month given the reliability, quality and atmosphere. I find to helpful to make reservations and note what the event ideas they do an excellent job catering to your specific audience. read more

The service was great and the sake selection is nice. Not much for warm sake though which was slightly disappointing. The sushi was good and there was a great selection to choose from. I found the sushi to be good which is what I expected, but there was nothing amazing about it. Very similar to any average sushi place, nothing distinguishable. read more

I tried this place because of yelp . decent reviews, close to where i was (downtown), looked like it would be an experience and wanted to treat myself and was i disapointed. I dont get how this place is getting decent reviews - Im starting to think because the owner and friends are the ones writing them. I dined here awhile back - the service was alright. nothing to complain about. The price was on the more higher end side. which I expected going in - so I was fine with that too. I can appreciate higher end sushi restaurants . what turned me off was the quality and it seemed like they took a average piece of sashimi you get anywhere and portioned it into 4 smaller piece out of the one and charge you for it. not only did it seem like i was eating mall sushi... but i couldn't even tell you what fish i had in my mouth- cause everything was cut ridiculously thin. to save money im assuming? Would not go back or recommend it. Tourist trap as there are not many sushi places downtown and rip off . read more

Note: Be prepared to make a reservation if you are going at lunch during the week. Now I haven't been to every Sushi restaurant in downtown, but so far Sukyaki House has the best yam roll. I am a vegetarian so no raw fish for me, but my companions always enjoy the fish rolls as well. The best part of this place is the presentation and different feature flavours they offer. On my last trip my friend ordered a tuna roll and it came with this amazing mango sauce. Since I live for the sweets I must add that I had the chocolate soufflé for dessert, but they might as well have called it a lava cake. Delicious for sure, but not really a soufflé. The service can be slow, so be prepared to sit back and take your time. read more

The food here was delicious but the service was abysmal. They out right ignored us, took forever to get our food, and never once popped by to see how we were doing or if we needed more water. As well one waitress was very rude to us, making scoffing noises in our direction whenever she walked by, not stopping when we tried to flag people down for help. I was aware there computer was down that day however that is NO excuse for treating us badly. Will NOT be returning. All customers are equal. Don't favor some and ignore others. read more
