" I celebrated my birthday at Kujira last week, and it was an absolute treat! The staff made sure our experience was special. We ordered a variety of sushi and some izakaya dishes, and everything was simply delicious. I particularly enjoyed the seared salmon sushi and gyoza. The atmosphere complemented the occasion perfectly, making it a night to remember. I can't wait to go back and introduce my friends to this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you appreciate sushi, you have to check out Kujira! Their sashimi offerings blew my mind—it was the best I have had in Calgary. The flavors were vibrant, and everything was incredibly fresh. The atmosphere is tranquil and a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. I can't wait to come back and try more items from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good, authentic sushi can be hard to find away from the coast, but Kujira does a great job. I love their varied menu, and the seasonal items are always worth trying. However, my experience was marred by a lengthy wait for our meal. I could tell the food was fresh, but quicker service would improve the overall experience significantly. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about this place, I finally made my way to Kujira and I wasn't disappointed! The sushi rolls are not only visually appealing but also packed with flavors. I tried the dragon roll; it was refreshing and the fish was incredibly fresh. Service was prompt, and I love the modern interior of the restaurant. Perfect for a night out with friends or even a date. Will definitely come by again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience at Kujira was satisfactory. While the ambiance was cozy, and the server was friendly, I did encounter a few issues with my food. The sashimi was not up to the mark during my visit, being slightly warm and less flavorful than I had experienced before. However, I would be willing to give it another shot in the future, as I have heard great things from others. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just came back from dinner at Kujira and I am so impressed! The ramen blew my mind, and the sushi was so fresh. I tried the bluefin tuna sashimi, which was thickly cut and utterly delicious. The service was friendly but a little slow, which is understandable since the place was bustling. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Japanese cuisine, Kujira is a must-try! Each dish offers a unique flavor that transports you right to Japan. My favorites include the salmon sashimi and the black garlic ramen—they're out of this world. The waitstaff are attentive and create a lovely atmosphere. Overall, a perfect dining experience for sushi lovers! " (*Curated Review*)
