" Kujira has quickly become my favorite sushi spot in the city! The freshness of the sashimi is unbeatable, and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. I've tried various rolls and each one has impressed me with its quality. Highly recommend the salmon rolls—they melt in your mouth! The ambiance is also very nice, perfect for a date night or a family dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by the izakaya experience at Kujira! We opted for a variety of appetizers, and the squid skewers were a highlight for me. The portion sizes were generous and reasonably priced for the quality. The staff were friendly and seemed genuinely passionate about the menu. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of Japan in Calgary! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent experience at Kujira left me a little mixed. I loved their sweet potato tempura and the seaweed salad, but the ramen was not what I expected. It was rich, yes, but the noodles were a bit overcooked. The atmosphere is lovely and cozy, but we did have a longer wait for service during peak hours. Overall, I would still recommend it based on the fresh sushi alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're a fan of authentic Japanese food, definitely give Kujira a try. The sashimi is fresh, and they have a selection of dishes that cater to all tastes. It's a bit on the pricier side for sushi, but the quality makes it worth it. I had a pleasant evening there and would recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently took a sushi-making class at Kujira and was blown away by their commitment to authentic techniques. The chef explained the importance of each ingredient used and even shared some cooking tips. After the class, we enjoyed a fantastic meal, and I can confidently say the sushi here is top-notch—it tastes as good as it looks! Highly recommend for anyone who loves to learn and eat!

" 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*)
