" From the moment we walked into Damso Izakaya, we were greeted with beautiful decor and an inviting atmosphere. The quality of the sushi and rolls we ordered was beyond our expectations – everything tasted incredibly fresh. The wait time for food was reasonable, and our server was friendly. I specifically enjoyed the black cod which was well-prepared. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic sushi in Edmonton! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try this quirky Japanese izakaya for dinner with a friend. The atmosphere was vibrant and full of energy, and the tablet ordering was a fun twist. We shared an assortment of rolls and appetizers, with the chicken karaage being a standout! It was crispy and flavorful, although the miso soup was a bit too salty for my taste. Service was friendly, and I loved the authentic vibe of the place. I would definitely recommend trying this izakaya if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a delightful evening at Damso Izakaya! The tablet ordering system was efficient, and our food came out quite quickly. The fresh sashimi was a favorite of mine, although the portions were slightly smaller than what I expected. I enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere, though it can get rather lively on weekends. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with delicious food, and I look forward to trying more menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" This izakaya is truly a gem! The atmosphere is cozy with an authentic Japanese vibe. The menu was diverse, and I loved trying different things. The salmon pressed sushi was one of the tastiest dishes I've had! The service was quick but nothing too special. I would have liked a bit more effort in presentation as many dishes looked average despite tasting great. Overall, highly recommend for a nice evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" Damso Izakaya is a perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends! The interior design is beautiful and transports you right into an izakaya in Japan. The food was pretty good overall, with standout dishes including the sashimi platter. However, my ramen was a bit on the oily side, which detracted from my enjoyment. Nevertheless, everything else was great and I would definitely return, just for the vibe! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is nothing short of amazing! Upon entering Damso Izakaya, you truly feel transported to Japan. The sushi rolls we ordered were creative and flavorful, especially the Angry Rainbow Roll which had a lovely blend of sweet and savory. The service was prompt, and our server was knowledgeable about the dishes. However, I wish the portion sizes were a little more generous given the price. Overall, an excellent experience that I'll remember for a long time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Damso Izakaya! I felt like I stepped right into an izakaya in Japan. The food was authentic and exceptionally curated. The sushi was fresh, and I was particularly impressed by the creativity of the rolls like the truffle roll. However, I did find it a tad bit pricey. Still, the quality makes it worth the cost, and the atmosphere was simply delightful! Will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)
