Shibuya Izakaya - Calgary

The best Izakaya Japanese restaurant in Calgary. Simply the best! The Karaage is really great! I always stop by here when I am at Calgary. Loyal customer since 2018!Will be back!

This was my second visit to Shibuya Izakaya and it was just excellent. I struggled a bit with the menu as it is only available online, and I like being able to compare menu items while preparing my order. However, the waitress explained that we could just add anything of interest to our “cart,” and delete anything we didn’t want when we reviewed the order. That was helpful. The food was delicious and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. I can’t wait to visit again!

Shibuya Izakaya has been my tried-and-true Japanese restaurant in the city, and although it's getting a bit more expensive to eat there, the quality has remained consistent for over a decade. They have the best spicy tuna/ salmon roll, beef tataki, and I love that the raw oysters are served with ponzu sauce. This has been my go-to order for years and years, and I find it comforting that I can count on the quality to be same as it was when I ate there for the first time.The parking lot is a bit snug, so I prefer to park in the nearby neighbourhood, which I don't mind because I need to walk off all the delicious food I ate.

This is easily the best Japanese restaurant I 've ever been to. The food was incredible I visited a few weeks ago with a small group for a birthday dinner, so I ended getting to sample a little bit of everything. There was not one item I didn 't enjoy. The spicy ramen stole the show for me though. It was the sort of dish where I had the thought I was full a long time ago, but I cannot stop eating .Also I 'd like to share this moment of genuine awe I experienced with the wait staff: our server 's mind was like a steel trap. Like I mentioned, I was there with a small group, and we colossally screwed up our order. The bill was being split into two, and we were cross ordering things on different bills, and people not knowing what to order or what certain items were or what have you. So when our server arrived to check in on us, she was faced with a deluge of mistakes on our end resulting in the most chaotic ordering of food I 've ever been a part of. Some people were adding or subtracting items and drinks, making modifications to their meal, asking questions about this that or the other, bouncing back and forth between multiple people and by the end of it I was certain we 'd have to just start all over. But at the end of all that chaos, without missing a beat, she repeated our entire order back to us flawlessly from memory.Eat here if you want a dining experience which is delivered to you by people who care about what they 're doing at every level.

This restaurant serves incredibly delicious Japanese cuisine. Their grilled squid is absolutely perfect, and their sushi is also excellent. The tuna is incredibly fresh, and the staff are extremely kind and friendly.
