What User doesn't like about Ubu Lounge:
We wanted to try this place based on some recommendations and hype. It came highly recommended and we like the location. What a disappointment!! We found the food unimaginative, tasteless sometimes. Nicely presented, but then such a let-down in taste. We had a variety of dishes, all of which I've forgotten now. When we left the restaurant, we made a reservation at our favourite place, the Sushi Club on Kensington, fo... View all feedback. What Marc LeBlanc likes about Ubu Lounge:
Although pricey, this restaurant is definitely worth the expense. The employees are excellent, the food is amazing (they even use real crab meat in their sushi), and the beer is always cold. The location and decor are also impressive. Unfortunately, they are not open for lunch on Saturdays, but that is not a major drawback. View all feedback.

UBU is a trendy spot in downtown Calgary, offering creative sushi presentations and great deals on certain nights. Despite some negative reviews about service and taste, many have praised the unique dishes and friendly atmosphere. The location, decor, and live music add to the lounge vibe, making it a highly recommended spot to hang out. While the prices may be high, the quality of food, service, and drinks justify the cost. With a mix of positive and negative feedback, UBU is definitely a restaurant worth checking out for a memorable dining experience.
