KinJo - Calgary

Since I discovered Kinjo, when their only branch was the Macleod one, I made this my favorite japanese resto..(I still see peter those days)...quality of sushi rice, clean taste as i decsribe it, friendly staff. The expansion says a lot as well, business is thriving because people like it, I for one eats at kinjo at least 3x a month by myself not counting when im with friends...sashimi, mango roll, octopus legs, plum wine and their wagyu beef is a hit!

My family and I went here for dinner one evening, and while there isn't anything specific I can say that was actually "wrong" with Kinjo, I can say that the sushi was mediocre. I have had some good sushi, and this was nothing to write home about. I found that the menu was boring and didn't really have much to offer. That being said, a lot of the rolls didn't have a description of what was in them, so it was hard to pick something that might have otherwise been out of the norm. The one roll I did enjoy, was the mango roll. I would likely try another place before going to Kinjo again.

This was a a great meal with some of the best sushi we've had. The salmon was buttery smooth and the wagyu beef was amazing!!! Don't miss this place if your near by!

The salmon sashimi is incredible. 3 thick, large slices and a perfect fat content. It melts in your mouth. The shrimp tempura is a little expensive but worth it. It's sweet and fried perfectly every time. The tobiko they use actually has a strong flavor and always has that perfect "pop" in every bite. The service is exceptional. I do have two complaints. The music was too loud for a Friday at 4 p.m. The Rainbow Roll was very tough, the tuna was very stringy and the shrimp overcooked to the point of being inedible.In general, this place is awesome, the food is satisfying and delicious. This is the only place I will go for sushi in Calgary.

We've been to the Kinjo on MacLeod Trail several times and it was great. Our experience here was as indicated, "okay."We enjoyed the friendly service, the the portion sizes were much smaller then our past experiences at the original Kinjo's.The tempura beans were very greasy, the wasabi was only mild.Don't feel we'll go back.
