Downtown Sushi Suggestions

[cam_wmh]

So I'm sick of buying subpar sushi downtown, during my lunch break.


The take out one in Petro-Canada, is a massive fail. As is the small sushi restuarant on south-central portion of Dragon City mall.
The large sushi place on the east side of Dragon City is pretty good, yet usually my lunch break is sometime I fit in between work, so I don't always have hte luxury of a full hour.

I'm on the east side of downtown. Any suggestions?
I'd prefer take out too!

TIA!

If you could get up to 17th ave and about 8th street there is Midori which is one of my favourite places in town. I'm not sure if they do takeout though.

Petro Canada one is SO bad.

Try Sushi Hiro! I love sitting at the sushi bar there, the sushi is better if you're at the bar than if you're at a table and ordering combos.

I am not a big fan of Midori on 17th, I work across the street and its nothing special IMO.

I have heard there is a place on 11th... Blowfish? Haven't been.

There is also Sushi Man which might have been renamed, its on 10th ave and 1st.

Blowfish is very good

Re: Downtown Sushi Suggestions

Sushi Man definitely got a new banner sign since their old one was vandalized, but last time I drove by I think I noticed it looked either updated or the name was slightly different.

Sushi Hiro is a good call though, never been myself but I've heard good things as well.

Uptown Sushi was decent, I think it was also on 11th.

Sushi Club is pretty low key but has the best sushi in town, especially with their evening menu. I go there every week for lunch and often for dinner. The love flows. They're on Kensington Road and about 12 st. Tell them Yuval sent you.

I'll try it, good sushi used to be easy to find in Calgary but its less popular and more competitive now, the quality went way downhill in the last year or two.

Re: Downtown Sushi Suggestions

I've got my own couple lil faves already, when time isn't a factor. I've been to Blowfish a couple times, and found the sushi was good but the service was brutal. Maybe it's the analyst in me, but many restaurants I've been to lately, need to work on their efficiency; - hire a logistical consultant or somethin.
Thanks for the recommendations

I'm just looking for downtown sushi, I see Hiro is close, I'll have to check it out, thx Kris!

Re: Downtown Sushi Suggestions

Zen 8 is good but VERY overpriced.. each time I go its like 80+ for two.. no booze.

Another fav is Sumo Lounge in Eau Claire.. Very consistent.. and well priced.

Other then that... hit up China Town.. there is a few that I dont remember the names...

Re: Downtown Sushi Suggestions

I found Zen very overpriced and even Sumo overpriced too...

If you are near the Stephen Ave Zen then you can easily walk to Blowfish or Hiro...

Re: Downtown Sushi Suggestions

Funny, the two worst sushi experiences I've had in this city were at zen 8 and sumo.
