You are right, you can definitely tell the difference in quality between when Hiro makes it and when Yoshi makes it. Yoshi has not taken over yet but does work full time. He normally works in the kitchen and Hiro works the sushi bar. Just make sure that Hiro (old guy) is working the bar when you go there. This is most of the time.
I love their cooked foodOriginally posted by rage2

Shit, there's only 49 users here, I doubt we'll even break 100
In my experience nothing beats the sushi at Misato! They are amazing and well worth checking out. Prices are very good as well considering I have been to other places nearby and paid more for less. Misato is #1 in calgary in my book!

I agree with this. My wife and I prefer Sushi Me over Li-Ao, even though both are Chinese owned. My wife being Japanese and a former Sushi chef really dislikes the rice at Li-Ao, Sushi Me is so so according to her, but its close by so we go there. Usually we go to the place up in Mackenzie Town in that small mall across from Canadian Tire, don't recall the name but it is Japanese owned and run, my wife really likes there, just hate the long ass drive.Originally posted by Mibz
I've gone to Li-Ao in Bridlewood three times and the food's always been mediocre. One time they also served me frozen toro. That said, everybody else seems to like it so maybe I'm just hitting it on bad days.
I prefer Sushi Me in Midnapore. Service ain't the greatest but the fish is the best I've found in the South, and it's consistent.
I went to Li-Ao once before they renovated. Thought it wasn't too bad. The sashimi portions were pretty big. Will have to try Sushi Me next time I'm in the SW.Originally posted by eblend

The other one you're referring to is Ichizen. That will be my go to place when I move down there next month.
Anyone try Haru sushi over in McKenzie Towne?
yeah Tokyo gardens was the first place i tried sushi! the new place is the same owners as the okotoks sushi place... rolls are too big, way too big. like one order fills me up which i dont actually like since i rather have smaller portions and more varietyOriginally posted by n1zm0
I also just remembered I used to goto Tokyo Garden alot as a kid and there was always Japanese chefs and waiters and waitresses, I went to whatever it became now, Izumi Yokozuna, not the same at all, went from pretty good to mid-grade imo, anyone else remember going to Tokyo Garden back in the day?
Not a fan of Izumi at all. The rolls are too big, but not only that, they lack flavor. I don't care if they're too big if they actually taste good. They make Towa look like their rolls are tiny (although Towa has downsized their rolls over the years), but at least Towa tastes decent.
yeah they kind of remind me of when i was at west-ed super hungover and found a "sushi" place in the mall these things, no word of a lie were 4" in diameter and not a trace of fish anywhere

I never believed him until he brought me to there, obviously it's just the cheapest of everything and pure gluttony :Originally posted by Disoblige

Total cost in your pics is $11.95 for the House roll and $10.95 for the salmon sashimi. After tax, that's almost $26.00 (assuming you don't tip either). I don't think I'd spend $26 on that haha.
Although, the pics you posted for Vancouver is much better than the Sushi King that was here in Calgary. I don't think they were even affiliated. The one in Calgary was just called "Sushi King" and gave you the worst farts imaginable. The place in BC is called "Sushi King House".

My wife is a very boring eater. She just wants to find a shrimp tempura roll. Any suggestions? We have checked at Sumo ( btw had a bad eating experience there the food was horrible) and globefish. I wouldn't think it would be hard to find but the two shrimp places we have went to don't have "just" a shrimp tempura roll.
