Kabuku Downtown — Restaurant in Calgary

Had a pretty good bite at Kabuku last night. Since it was a saturday night and Calgary's downtown is pretty much completely vacant in late evenings / weekends, it wasn't too busy and service was spot on. There was a few things I noticed that show the place is looking after all the details - was met at the door as soon as i walked in and went right to a table (near the window, other guests were also at tables /booths near the windows), got a warmed towelette right off the bat, and menu had a good selection without being too big and also showed some of their strengths (buying local product where possible, like beef, charitable donations etc). Food was expertly prepped and tasted fantastic - i'd recommend getting the trio of bluefin, salmon and yellowtail. When the server makes a point to specifically tell you to try them without soy sauce, ginger or wasabi, they're going to be good. All of the rolls were pretty fantastic.

The rolls average about ~$14/each and their fish is consistently top-shelf quality. All in all I highly...

This is one of the best sushi restaurants in downtown Calgary. A bit pricier than most but you get what you pay for. Meat portions and roll sizes are fairly generous too, so order on the smaller side of what you might normally. Don’t pass up trying one or two of the hot appetizers on the separate menu. The prawns and shrimp dumplings are something else. The sashimi and nigiri quality and sizes are top notch and while the rolls are a bit on the less innovative side, I haven’t had one that I didn’t like. Service is usually quite good here as well. Highly recommended if you’re not trying...
