    a sushi on a pink plate
    Vincent S.

    The fish they used was very fresh. The items are a bit pricy as expected in the Banff area and with a fun conveyor belt sushi set up. You can order directly from the menu or grab things off the conveyor belt. The sushi easily ends up being $3/piece which can add up. I ended up paying $30 for sushi and underate for sure and still had to get an ice cream cone after. Not the best place to go on a budget, but if you are on vacation go for it, not the time to worry about money. Easily 4/5 if it was a bit cheaper

    Tuna Nigiri.

    After a full day of hiking, we were craving something light and healthy to continue our trek. Sushi was the perfect stop as we came by for dinner. The two of us had to wait about 5 minutes until we were seated since the restaurant is very small and fits only about 20 people. The restaurant is arranged in a counter-top seating circling the sushi chefs that were preparing the sushi onto the train. I really enjoy conveyor belt-style places because it makes the experience a bit more fun although some items might be left out there unwanted and old after awhile. Since I was not too hungry, I liked that the sushi came in small portions, which allowed me to try more items before reaching my capacity. For nigiris, I had a tuna one and salmon one. Although pretty yummy, I did not like that the rice was falling apart so easily. I was barely able to get the nigiris into my mouth before the rice splattered all over my plate and counter. I also had a spicy tuna roll and tempura roll, which were a much better choice here since the rice is so weak. I'd definitely stick to the rolls instead. Each item is priced by the color of the plate, which ranges from $3.50 to $7.15 CAD. From my 4 plates, my total came out to a little over $20. This is pretty pricey for all that we got; luckily I was not too hungry!

    The owners are Japanese. They have fresh ingredients and you can see the chef making sushi while eating from any of the seats. The running train was definitely a hit for kids. Will come back!

    Love this place. Small and kitschy. Sushi train circles the chef and you pull off whichever plates you want. Plus you can order anything else from the menu. Been here several times and it never disappoints. My fave stop for a casual lunch or dinner in Banff.

    This is our second visit here since we came to Banff about 2 years ago. If you are ever in Banff and you are craving for sushi then this is the place - best sushi in town! It's a tiny restaurant just like those fast food conveyor belt sushi places in Tokyo with the counter seats except this one has an electrical train! It's a really fun way to eat sushi. The place is super tiny that seats about 15 people. If you have a big party group, then I would not recommend this place. It can be a bit pricey since it's easy to keep ordering and taking the plates off the train - note plate of 2 pieces of sushi is around $4 to $6 (by colour plates). When you finish, the server will count your plates to total your bill. Be sure to try the California rolls which has real crab meats - very yummy! The white tuna was also very tasty.

    Mango Ice Cream

    After several years, I returned to Banff and took in one of my favorite Japanese restaurants, The Sushi House. It still retains its small intimate charm with the familiar sushi train that always enhances your dining experience with its wide selection of choice sushi dishes and for desserts creme brûlée or 5 types of ice cream one of my favorites being black sesame. This time we had mango. Our selections ranged from edamame beans, ginger, tuna and avocado rolls, Ikura (salmon roe on top of sushi rice wrapped around in seaweed, spicy tuna rolls, 2 types of shrimp sushi, spicy octopus and salmon sushi. As usual the place was full and the service was excellent. What I like about the restaurant is that you can put in special requests directly with the sushi makers in front of you. The place is always clean and enhanced by two overhead tv screens with two different sports channels. No news channels to bum you out. Of course, the real fun is picking off your dish directly from the sushi train and not having to wait. The food is always fresh. The hostess is very good at checking in on you. Overall, I am raising my rating for the Sushi House and can hardly wait to return.

    If only I could give 6 stars. Very recommend!!!!!! Excellent , traditional sushi bar. I came with my family- 6 people and we didn't have to wait at all. The waitress was super nice. Yummy sushi!! Many options. Fresh fish. Traditional atmosphere. And professional sushi chefs. See attached photos.

    I came to have sushi at this place thanks to my friend's recommendation. It was actually a fun visit! You seat in a round table where the chef stands in the middle and prepares sushi right in front of you. He prepares a dish and puts the plate in a train that moves around the table. You get a menu so you can identify what's on each plate, or you can also ask the server or the chef. If there is something in the menu that you don't see in the train, you can always ask the chef to prepare it for you. Each plate has its own price according to the color. You'll pay according to the number of dishes you eat, the server will count them for you. This place is very small so you might need to wait and line up for a while. Luckily we didn't have to wait for too long because it was a little cold and we were lining up outside of the restaurant. I'll definitely come back to this place on my next visit to Banff

    Sushi train going around the chefs.
    Laura E.

    This is probably the coolest sushi place I have ever been too. I love the use of the train that goes around with plates of freshly made sushi. Prices are organized by plate colour. The food was good. I only had a few things. But the prices are reasonable. But most of all, the experIence is so worth it and so relevant to the local area. Even if you just want to have a quick experience, get one little plate or and you'll get the experience. Highly recommend!

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

Karaoke rooms available for large groups with high minimum spends. However, when it comes to the food, I've got issues. The happy hour menu boasts several discounted (half price) sushi rolls, which sound great. However, in execution, they are flooded with mayonnaise (not included in the menu's ingredients). This adds so much extra salt and oil to the sushi that it drowns out the true flavor of the fish. For the first time in my life, I couldn't finish my sushi, and I had no desire to eat any leftovers. Also, reservations are not required, but they definitely help (and require a credit card reservation). If you show up for happy hour, get there early, becasue the space fills up fast!

The place was pretty busy when we arrived for dinner. Things we tried: - Agedashi Tofu: fried tofu with a warm dashi. It was light and the dashi had nice flavor. (3.5/5 stars) - Karaage Chicken: the chicken was tender and well-seasoned. (3.5/5 stars) - Edamame: the edamame arrived at the end of our meal which was odd. It was also not cooked well and tasted like it could have been frozen and then warmed up. Disappointing. (1/5 stars) - Shoku Roll: the roll was pretty good with the salmon on top and negitoro inside. I wish they used less of the sauce and mayo on top or put it on the side instead, because it was a lot and was overpowering the fish. (4/5 stars) - Salmon Oyako Bowl: I liked the raw salmon and salmon roe part, however the cooked salmon was overcooked. The bowl also lacked flavor and required soy sauce, though I wish there was a different sauce to add to it. (4/5 stars) Overall for the food, it's okay. I'm from California so we have better food so I'm trying not to be too critical knowing it's in Banff. It's nice to have an izakaya spot in downtown Banff though. Service: mixed. The waiter was nice, however they seemed under-staffed. He had too many tables so service was slow and we struggled with flagging him down when we needed a refill or the check.
