Towa Sushi Restaurant Review

Written by Neil Galloway

Cheryl and I did our Valentine's Day dinner yesterday at Towa Sushi. Nice little sushi place here in Calgary on 4th Street and 21st Ave SW.

It doesn't open until 5pm and when we walked in it was empty at 5:10pm. We decided to walk down 4th a bit and stop in at a few of the art and furniture stores. When we got back at 5:45 there was barely a place to sit. Definitely fills up in a hurry.

The Food

We are not very big eaters, but we had the Sushi Assortment and Yam Tempura. The assortment was quite good. Seven different pieces of sushi and 4 california rolls. The portions were massive so when I say a california roll, each one was probably 2-3 times as large as the ones you would get at the "fast food" style sushi restaurants.

They have the typical white order form where you just mark off what you want and they bring it. Their menu is quite good as well, describing each item that is on the order form including pictures of some items. There is also a small wine menu. They say if you recommend a wine they should have on their list and they like it you will have your name written in their menu beside it.

It was $18 for the sushi assortment and $8 for the yam tempura. Very reasonable for what you get.

The Restaurant

The atmosphere was nice. You can sit along the kitchen and watch them prepare or sit at one of the tables in the main area. Candles sit on every table and the lighting looked like some sort of funky light fixtures from Ikea.

The staff was super friendly too. I would definitely go back.

Very cute Bruce, you know I would never allow that. The moderator's job is to censor offensive and inaccurate material from a website.

I've eaten at this restaurant as well, I was impressed by their portions.
The decor is really simple with clean lines.
