Been anxiously waiting for this place to open, the 2nd location for Zipang, conveniently located up in the Royal Oak Plaza. NW have been shafted for good sushi restaurants, with only "emergency" sushi joints such as Sakana Grill or Sushi Boat in Crowfoot. The closest good sushi, Mikis, is way down in Bowness.
I've been watching this place under construction the last few months, and was wondering WTF was going on when nothing was done after framing. Turns out, the contractor is really slow, and the opening was delayed by 4 months. Now that it's open, it's a beautiful place inside, a modern version of Zipang.
The food is excellent, pretty much the same as Zipang. We didn't go crazy on food with so few of us there today, just ordered some basic Sushi, Roll, hand cones, and sashimi. Everything was excellent, fish was soft and tender (especially the Unagi), rice tastes perfect, texture and consistency of rice was perfect, zero complaints.
Service wise, food came out quick, drinks refilled quick, we were in and out in 45 mins.
Ambience: 10/10. I love modern and new places.
Service: 10/10.
Food: 9/10. Best Japanese style sushi in this city IMO.
Pricing: I'll let you rate it, bill is attached.
