Ke Charcoal Grill & Sushi

Been here twice at the recommendation of a friend and this place has never let me down. Wagyu was amazing and all the a la carte sashimi and rolls! Would definitely come back due to the quiet but fun ambiance, great service and delicious food.

Taste: 5/5
Ambiance: 5/5
Service: 5/5

Met a friend here in the summer and we tried a variety of items. We sat on the patio which was very chill and enjoyed our rolls, beef tongue, chicken skewers, sashimi and our drinks over a few hours. Oddly it got busy around 8-830pm when we're leaving on a Thursday night.

Parking is on the street or in a paid lot. I've not dined inside but if you like that city patio vibe and don't mind the sound of traffic, go for it!

This is my new favourite spot !
I have ordered from them numerous times , the food is consistently good.
Lately , I have gone and eaten in, the service is superb , and the variety in the menu is quite something.

I have enjoyed everything that I have tried here ...

Sushi is my usual go to , but a special mention goes to the Lobster Bisque !

It was a bustling Saturday night -- the boys and I came here at 9 pm and the place was still hopping. We sat at the bar and watched the kitchen staff work with lightning speed efficiency. Our server was friendly and extremely helpful at explaining all the menu items. All yakitori are 20% off after 9pm. The yakitori was perfectly seasoned with a wonderful smokiness. The chicken tsukune(meatballs) were deliciously juicy and almost falling off the skewer. The lamb chops were cooked by our server on a hot stone grill at table side. We also ordered the quail eggs wrapped in bacon(which wasn't crispy enough, so we placed them on the stone grill since it was still quite hot), smoked duck with soba noodles, beef tongue, unagi, oishii sushi rolls and grilled saba(mackerel). Overall, we had a fantastic experience!

The meat quality is just ok but the seasoning and sauces are excellent! The lobster bisque udon flavors were quite inspirational. I will steal it.

Dining at this high-end Japanese restaurant and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the attention to detail in every aspect of the restaurant. The ambiance was elegant and sophisticated, creating the perfect atmosphere for a special occasion.

The menu was extensive, featuring the finest and most authentic Japanese cuisine. Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented and expertly prepared with the freshest ingredients.

The service was top-notch, with the staff being attentive and knowledgeable about every dish on the menu. While this restaurant may be on the pricier side, the exceptional quality of the food and the overall dining experience makes it well worth it.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly luxurious and memorable dining experience.

Try the Yakitori special!

Initially I came here because I heard great things about the oysters, to my luck, they ran out of oysters but that's okay!

We came on a Sunday evening and the ramen was 20% off. I was surprised with how good that ramen was and for the price, you can't go wrong!

We ordered a bunch of items and was pleased with 95% of our items.

Thanks to our server for being so attentive and helpful.

I would definitely recommend this to others, and hope to come back next time we are in Calgary

Wow. I think this is my favorite Japanese Restaurant in Calgary. Prices are so reasonable and food was super tasty. I came here on a Tuesday night. They have the deep fried special 20% off on Tuesday. I ordered:
1) Truffle Shrimps (5 shrimps)
2) Salmon Nigiri (2 pieces)
3) Miso Black Cod
4) Tuna Oshi (1 roll / 4 pieces)

This place is super authentic. Ran and managed by Japanese people. The wasabi is also the real deal too. So first off the Truffle shrimp/tempura shrimp was flavorful. The tempura sauce was unique. It was thicker than the tempura sauce I get at other restaurants. But their tempura sauce had way more flavor. The batter was nice and light. It was freshly made upon ordering. The salmon nigiri had a nice thick piece of salmon on top of the rice bed. The rice was made with the perfect combination of vinegar and rice. The miso black cod was my favorite. The cod was moist and grilled to perfection. I watched them grill my fish in front of me. The tuna oshi was not bad. I liked it but it.

Overall my dinner was super delicious. Best Japanese restaurant in Calgary or one of the best Japanese restaurants in Calgary.. Also it was nice that I got free ice cream for being a lady. It was a special they had that night I went. I left very happy. The bill came to $30ish.

I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

Pretty good selection of sushi/sashimi as well as a nice variety of specialty rolls. We got both tuna and salmon seared, volcano roll and spicy tuna roll. All of which was pretty good. Not overly impressive.
The staff were all really great though. 5/5 for the staff.
Atmosphere was really nice also. We sat upstairs which I thought was really nice. Great to possibly reserve for a private event.

We'd driven past Ke many times, and we finally decided to try it for a late supper. Delicious grilled yakitori (20% off after 9PM) of beef tongue, chicken meatballs, bacon wrapped quail eggs, and unagi (sea eel); the seafood and smoked duck udon soup was served piping hot; and service was prompt, pleasant, and attentive. We sat at the bar, which looks right into the open kitchen, and were impressed with what we saw.
