Roku Japanese - Calgary

The food at this restaurant is tasty, the service is friendly and the ambiance is laid-back. They offer excellent lunch specials. This is my top choice for sushi in Calgary.

I like this place. For suburb sushi it’s not bad, exponentially better than Sakana or Kinjo. The sashimi has always been great, the rolls have minimal amounts of mayo and the staff has nailed it both dining in and taking out. I hope this place stays in my neck of the woods!

I had a lunch set at Roku today. Their food never disappoints me. The fish in the chirashi is good quality, it seems small but it is actually filling. I especially love the pork cutlet in the set, crispy but it's not dry inside. To compensate myself for eating the not very much fresh of hamachi (yellow tail) sushi at Sushi boat last night, I treated myself with two pieces of hamachi sushi at Roku. You can see how shiny the fish is in the pictures, the fish is supposed to look shiny if it's fresh.

This place is a gem, by far the best sushi and japanese food I have ever had!They have a large menu so obviously I couldnt try everything but I will definitely be back again to try more of their items. They have such an authentic feel to their restaurant and I spoke with their manager for a while and found out this is a family run restaurant who are all Japanese, NO WONDER ITS SO GOOD!! Even with the weather yesterday this place was packed, I guess everyone knows where to get amazing sushi! Will be back soon Roku!!

Roku is a Japanese/Sushi restaurant located in Royal Oak Mall in Calgary. The chef and staff appeared to be Japanese and provided excellent service. During our dinner visit, we sampled a variety of sushi, tempura, and beef tataki. Everything was delicious, especially the raw shrimp sushi, which can be hard to find in Calgary. The fish was fresh and flavorful. While the prices are not cheap, the quality of the food is worth it.
