      Calgarys best sushi without a doubt. Service always on point and the sushi rice is always fresh. Great cuts of fish from Japan !!

      I'm impressed by how delicious and high quality this sushi is. It is not in downtown Calgary, in fact, a bit far. Definitely not a place tourists would find themselves in but it's worth going out of your way for. The sushi is that good!!

      The assorted sashimi platter included their house aged fish, which you can see on display when you walk in.

      Decor and ambience are very *fancy*

      Miso aburi salmon was melt in your mouth. This was my favourite dish.

      Wagyu tartar was the best I've ever had as well. I felt the price was fair too.

      The tonkotsu ramen my partner and I both felt was too watery. It lacked body, salt, and flavour. Flavour is very delicate/mild with a bit of fish taste. Also it only came with 1 thin slice of meat and half an egg. I felt this ramen was overpriced to what I'm used to, especially for the watered down broth.

      Overall, just come here for the sushi!

      I can't wait to try aged fish next time! Each fished is aged in a different time period. Wasn't ready when I was there.

      As a Yank from the states one needs to remember the axiom that Canadians are not yelpers hence the low number of reviews when traveling through Canada. Ryuko Japanese cuisine once again was a great choice that my nephew recommended. Located in a unassuming building which from the outside does not look like the makings of a sushi restaurant. Everything was great with the wagyu cooked over a hot stone being a hit as I have previously experienced this at other restaurants. Another great find was for me to try the roll that had asparagus in it as I have never been a fan of this veggie. Combined with the other ingredients, one does not really taste the asparagus but when taking your first bite it gives the roll a nice "crunch" combined with the fish and other ingredients. a return visit to this place is definitely warranted on my return.

      I don't know where you can find a more elegant lunch in this city for under $20. This is excellent value.
      Terrific food, great service, beautiful room. This is our 4th time here, more to come.

      New resto in canyon meadows that is clean, modern and has high quality fish! They opened only 2 weeks ago and we sat by a window that opens (gasp!) which is unusual these days with AC.

      We began with the wagyu beef tartare which was absolutely fantastic with bits of what I'm guessing was octopus with cucumber and chives finely chopped and a side of fresh taro chips. This may not be for a traditional tartare purist but was a unique twist to the French version. The thick and sticky sesame sauce was awesome!!!

      Next we shared the veggie bibimbap which was a symphony of textures and flavours. There's no fast food shedded carrots and cucumbers but an elevated dish done simply. Would absolutely get this again!

      Last item was a 10pc sashimi that was served with real shaved wasabi- no green pasty powder ball here! Pieces were well sized and so smooth served on ice chips. Presentation for all dishes was top notch. Service was attentive without being intrusive as they topped up our water and checked our table.

      We were also lucky enough to taste a fruit meringue dessert that was a surprise since we did not order it. A light, creamy custard left us with a sweet but mouth cleansing ending. Give this place a try for sure!!!

      From the Happy Hour menu, tried the Wagyu Ishiyaki, Tempura Shrimp Udon, and the Yuzu Chu-bai drink special. As other reviewers have noted, everything was exquisitely prepared and presented. Service was prompt, polite, and friendly. A nitpick, but minus one star for the jarring background music, which I found too loud and intrusive for a relaxed dining experience.

      My nine year old wants everyone to know how amazing this place is. The service and the food. We eat GF for me and here offered a variety of starters and mains AND dessert. Highly recommend the yuzu pavlova if you want a little sweet ending. For the beginning we can recommend the salmon and hamachi Carpaccio (sans crispy onions which we swapped for green onions). Roasted tea - lovely. And only premium sake so have it cold. For those who prefer non-alcoholic go for the yuzu mock tail - the presentation is as tasty as the drinking of it. So glad this place is in the South. I've also been told that they do large parties and will open the patio for the summer. Coming back for sure.

      From the moment I walked in, I was in awe. Fresh design and layout. Very busy for Thursday 7:00 PM.
      The food was fresh and very well presented. So many different serving platters.
