Sukiyaki House is widely praised for its exceptionally fresh sushi and attentive service, creating a welcoming and upscale dining experience. While some reviewers have encountered rare issues with service, the consensus highlights the quality of the Japanese cuisine, particularly the sushi and hot pot, making it a top choice in Calgary.
"The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and we were seated almost right away. In the first photo, you’ll see a special starter of small fried crabs — definitely worth trying if you’re feeling adventurous, especially since they’re only available for a limited time. We also had the prawn tempura dynamite and the crunchy spicy tuna roll, both of which were delicious. I’d happily order everything again. I’ll definitely be returning!"
