Note: Be prepared to make a reservation if you are going at lunch during the week.
Now I haven't been to every Sushi restaurant in downtown, but so far Sukyaki House has the best yam roll. I am a vegetarian so no raw fish for me, but my companions always enjoy the fish rolls as well.
The best part of this place is the presentation and different feature flavours they offer. On my last trip my friend ordered a tuna roll and it came with this amazing mango sauce.
Since I live for the sweets I must add that I had the chocolate soufflé for dessert, but they might as well have called it a lava cake. Delicious for sure, but not really a soufflé.
The service can be slow, so be prepared to sit back and take your time. -

Pleasantly surprised. I am a old foodie from when Japanese Village and Sukiyaki House were IT for Japanese food in the downtown core. The neat thing about Sukiyaki House was that the sushi was always good, but the old location on 10th always had a musty smell due to the weird fountain / fish pond in front. So, onwards to the new location on 9th.
Food - EXCELLENT sushi, prep and presentation. I sampled the spicy salmon roll and the spider roll - these are couple of the best rolls I have had in a long time in DT. There is a crunch to the very flavorful salmon roll that is a must-try. And the spider roll which I find is a hit and miss in Calgary rates a 10 / 10 here. It has been cleaned so there is no "intestinal" taste, and the tempura batter is very light and well done. I will definitely have these again. Their Atlantic salmon sashimi is also very fresh. In fact, all the fish items were fresh, no misses here.
Service - efficient, friendly, non-intrusive. Tea cups are filled regularly to ensure they remain hot and full, and the wait staff will ask if everything is OK.
Parking - 2-hour street parking in front with Parkplus, a lot across the street and building parking in surrounding area. Easy to find a space.
Overall, would rate this a solid 4 / 5. I took off 1 small point for groups larger than 4 people. The high celings make for a noisy place (which is not bad at all if you have 1-4 people at a small table), and for larger groups seated at long tables, you cannot hear someone three spaces over. Will definitely return, esp. for the rolls. For sentimental reasons, sad there were no more love boats offered. -

Now I'm not entirely sure if the owners of the new Sukiyaki House are the same or affiliated with the previous owners of the original on 10th Ave, so I won't get stuck on comparing the two.
Our service was pretty efficient and the servers, attentive and patient, even with our party of 10. It was a Sunday evening, so the restaurant wasn't that busy, but they did a great job of recommending certain items and ensuring our teacups were always full.
I usually order my own personal bag of sushi items; Saba, Shake and Unagi. I also had the Philadelphia Roll (Salmon, Avocado, Cream Cheese & Lime) which was alright, but I could've done without the lime. The sushi was okay at best (As mentioned by, Mark S.) and I found that the minimal selection on the sushi menu drove me to find something better with their main entrées.
I will recommend the Sake Beef Tenderloin. They start you with their Miso Soup & Waldorf Salad where the walnuts are a nice touch. The beef came out medium rare with mushrooms and spinach. It was delicious.
I gave Sukiyaki House 3 stars because I wasn't that impressed with the sushi and for a Japanese restaurant, specializing in sushi, that's the one item I believe that should carry the most weight. There's also something about the whole high-end contemporary, non-traditional decor for a sushi restaurant that kinda bugs me. -

I am not sure if I came back on a good but this sushi was awesome. Actually, I'm sure I came on a good day because I have been here a few times and this was the best time so far. I am now saying the sushi was great. I can't wait to go back.

Very solid sushi bar in the downtown area. Fast, friendly service, great fish, and innovative rolls. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Calgary.
