“””””””””””””””First stop in Alberta? Ke! Toro sushi, Salmon sushi and the Beef Tataki at first and all tasted amazing! Not the biggest fan with the tataki but it actually tasted very good! Next up was the Truffle Shrimp Tempura and the assortment of yakitori and the entire group loved it. The next barrage of food came which consisted of the sushi and the skewers. We were all satisfied and the bill wasn’t too unreasonable either. Next time I’m in the city I would definitely make Ke Chatcoal &”””””””
A very nice surprise! Great atmosphere (See pics) and very welcoming ! Started with the seaweed salad which was a delicious assortment of seaweed and greens with a tasty enhanced Japanese mayonnaise sauce. Followed up by two different size assorted sashimi platters. This was quite filling and the chef was more than willing to explain to me how to sharpen a one beveled Japanese knife. Restaurant was clean and lots of atmosphere. Nicely decorated. I would highly recommend you call ahead and make reservations. Will definitely be going back.
We came here and ordered a lot of food. It was difficult to get a table so we sat at the bar. We ordered Ke bun, signature truffle prawn roll, seared tuna roll, Saba mackerel, miso black cod, seafood yaki udon, truffle shrimp tempura, okra, pork belly skewers, bacon wrapped quail eggs. Good experience, would return!
“””This place was amazing! One of the best sushi places in Calgary hands down and still a hidden gem if you haven’t been. Highly recommend ordering all the chefs selections  ”
Really nice restaurant that has a mixture of different Japanese Cuisine. They have things from Sushi, oysters, ramen, yakitori, etc. We did order a few things off their menu and it was great. Really enjoyed the Charcoal grill chicken. We ordered a few sticks and it was tasty. They also have daily specials so there are a few things that are cheaper depending on the day you order it. There is plenty of seating but with COVID make sure you make a reservation before coming in bc you might end up being disappointed. I personally like the added touch of ice cream for the ladies at the end of meal. 🙂
