Sushi Kawa: Shall we?
In any larger city-centre like Calgary you will find a plethora of sushi restaurants. This city may pale in comparison to Vancouver in this regard, but, nonetheless, we’ve got a lot of options. One of my favourite spots for sushi here in Calgary has got to be Sushi Kawa. The service is friendly (I love/hate the servers matching tuxedo-esque shirts), the food is brought out in a timely fashion, wait times are fairly minimal, and it’s not quite as expensive as other popular sushi joints in Calgary.
For starters, I always go for the Spicy Tempura Tofu. Even if you’re not a tofu fan, the spicy and tangy sauce that covers these crispy squares is, at the very least, worth a try! Standard issue tempura (shrimp, potato, etc…) is also a safe and tasty bet here.
The Spider Roll (pictured at top) is filled with tempura-style soft shell crab and veggies. Definitely my #1 choice off their Deluxe Maki menu. They also offer sushi platter combinations if you’re looking to stick to the basics.
Sushi Kawa‘s downside? The decor doesn’t really lend itself to a fine dining kind of experience, so I wouldn’t recommend it for a first date (and trust me, I’ve been on a lot of first dates). The same can be said about the multiple TV screens (which I hate in restaurants) constantly screening sumo wrestler battles (not joking). The menu itself is a bit strenuous, and turns out to be more heavy reading than you bargained for when you’re out for supper.
