Sushi Boat - Calgary

Fun little place to eat at. The sushi is good too. You grab what you want and you can also order too! My daughter loves it that she can reach over and get what she wants. Good fresh sushi in a fun environment.

Small place but fun atmosphere. The sushi boats are fun, reminds me of Kinjo, however the sushi here is better! Good variety of sushi and friendly service, this place gets busy quick. I enjoyed all the different plates of sushi i grabbed from the boats, however i will say the price really adds up quickly for the handful of plates i had.

The atmosphere is really fun we miss the kaiten sushi places we enjoyed when we were in Japan, so I feel very lucky that we have a sort of similar idea in Calgary! <br/ <br/ It is always pretty busy if you come at peak suppertime (6 7:30 or so) but generally this kind of restaurant is best when it's busy. It's important that people are there to keep the sushi moving or it can sit out for a little while longer than you might like. If you're willing to wait a few minutes for a table, it's absolutely worth it to come at a busier time. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for a large group, but it's perfect for maybe 2 4 or 5 people. Lots of kids here, since it's so much fun to get the sushi off the boats and it's totally okay to just have one or two plates and be finished. <br/ <br/ The cooked items are quite expensive and not all that great, so I would really stick to the sushi. Take care to note the color of the plate as this denotes the price! The prices are fairly competitive for Calgary and there's a nice little selection of some fun nigiri and maki items with interesting toppings. I believe it's possible to request specific items directly from the kitchen if you want something you know was made fresh. Watch the sushi chefs in the middle and see what they're making and putting on the boats; then you'll know which items are the newest ones.

Sushi boat sashimi night! Had to get our quick sushi fix for the week. Taste pretty fresh! The waiter thought I wanted double orders and brought 8-12 of everything, so when the food arrived I told him please cancel half the remaining orders and he was kind enough to do so. I did wish there was cucumber bowls that they put the fish eggs in like most the other places I've been to.<br/ <br/

My wife and I have been going to Sushi Boat since it first opened many years ago, and I introduced my children to sushi here as well. It is definitely a good place to go for a fast meal (assuming you go at the right time), as you can grab some plates from passing boats as soon as you sit down, and order the ones they don't have available from the menu.<br/ <br/ The sushi is pretty good, and reasonably priced. It isn't quite as fancy as some other restaurants, but it also isn't too expensive (e.g. no $20 sushi rolls). The menu is mostly sushi, with a limited selection of warm dishes (udon, tempura, etc). The House Special Rolls are good for hungry people. My wife loves the Seared Tuna nigiri (Maguro no Tataki), my eldest son has the California Rolls with Masago, my youngest son likes the Tamago, and my daughter always orders Inari to finish off. I like almost everything, but would probably call Unagi my favourite...
