Shokunin

This is our second visit in less than a week, we are here on vacation and giving up other reservations to come back. The food is excellent as are the cocktails. On both our visits so far we have taken our server’s suggestions and haven’t been disappointed. Tonight, the fish head was the highlight of the night, don’t be afraid to order it - delish!!! Chef/owner Darren runs a tight ship, we saw this first hand and that’s the reason the service and food are both excellent.

Beautiful, so beautiful, the presentation is only surpassed by the taste. The attentive and uniquely respectful food prep creates flavours you will literally never taste anywhere else. A beautiful, unique, experience, 20+ visits in the family and never the same experience, never a complaint, always a joy.

We've wanted to come here for years and it is amazing. The skewers are delicious, the sake beer is amazing. Everything we ate was so good. Their special confit wings were the best wings we've ever had. Every chicken wing should taste like those. We're not from Calgary but this will be a place we come every time we come back for a visit. Also, amazing service!

5 stars all the way! Trendy little spot in downtown Calgary. Amazing service, delicious food and wonderful ambiance. The servers take the time to describe the dishes to you as they are brought to your table. Almost everything is made by the chef or sourced from his farm. Nice selection of wine and mixed beverages available as well!

The ambiance was nice and food was good with fresh clean ingredients and high attention to detail featuring smooth developed flavors that were restrained and not over the top. The best part were the staff as they were very accommodating, knowledgable, and expressed genuine interest in their guests enjoying their time. Try their amazing cocktails!

My partner and I were there for Keisukes last day and it was so good. The staff here work so well together they make sure all the customers are taken care of, exceptional service. The food and especially the shokunin ramen was truly amazing! It’s no wonder lots of Japanese people love coming here. The atmosphere was fantastic but sad seeing one of their beloved chefs go. It’s an end of an era for shokunin but we’re very excited for what’s next. Having lived in Japan, I Definitely recommend coming here if you’re looking for a great izakaya experience. We hope Keisuke the best, we’re going to miss you!
