Kirala Sushi And Grill

I've been here once back when i used to live in Calgary NE and drove to Airdrie cause i heard so much about this place. Everything was just as expected. Tasted great, service was quick and efficient and very polite. Would love to visit this place again soon.

The other day I stopped in at D's work to give him a card he needed to get gas, only instead of leaving to go home I ended up chatting with two of his coworkers about various restaurants to try in the area.  One of the ones that came up was this place.  D and I agreed it was definitely a sushi night, and since he trusted her opinion on food we thought we'd give it a try.

It was a quiet night there, which was good for us, only a couple of tables were filled, and honestly the first thing I noticed was the crazy colours of the labradorite flecks in the table surface.  The tabletops are beautiful!  At the right angle there were crazy hits of blue, green and gold that were unmistakably labradorite.  Beautiful.

Anyway we shared a pot of tea, which was delicious and very hot.  D had a miso soup and 2 pcs of Unagi to start.  I tried a sip of the soup and it was very fresh, nice flavour, not overly salty like some miso soups, and looked like it had just the right amount of tofu.  I didn't try the unagi, it's good but doesn't always sit well with me afterwards (I've been afraid to have it since an incident in Vancouver - long story involving a long drive).

My starter was a plate of beef tataki.  I haven't had that in a long time, since it's normally quite expensive, but the portion size more than made up for it here and it was delicious.  The beef had had just a touch of heat around the outside so it was deliciously rare throughout, the spicy sauce was amazing, and I had to restrain myself from licking the plate.

We shared a Crispy California Roll that was almost as good as our favourite place in Vancouver so I'll be ordering those every time for sure - it's all in the unagi sauce they drizzle on top.  It seriously makes all the difference in the flavour!  It was so good I ordered a second one at the end.

The other dish we shared was a Delicate Roll which is a really nice variation on a Philadelphia Roll but with a few additions.  It was fresh, the salmon was delicious, and the avocado was just right.  I'm not sure about the mayo drizzle on top but I didn't mind it.

Next time I plan on trying the tempura, and honestly I think the only thing they're missing is a Las Vegas Roll...I'd eat there every week if they had that too!

Our server was great, very chatty and totally familiar with the sushi we're used to since she was from the same area.

All in all it was a pleasant experience in a clean, friendly setting and we left stuffed.  I can't wait to go back for more.

GREAT SUSHIE. The restaurant is nice inside, clean and well kept. The food is fresh and excellent. Big portions to. I suggest ordering the sashimi platter and a bowl of steamed rice. The rolls are unique and good as well. They also have a variety of noodle and fully cooked dishes for those a little weary of the idea of raw fish

Went here for dinner, seats about 80 people in total, with nice decorations. The special rolls were reasonably priced at $10 to $11 a roll including the lobster roll.

Food came out very quick and the staff was very attentive checking in every 5 to 10 minutes. Would recmmend this place to a friend and would definitely return.

The only thing that bothered me was some of the chipped dishware the sushi was served on.

Great Food and Service. I come here at least twice a week and have yet to have a disappointing experience. It's a great environment and the food portions are generous. Most importantly, everything I have ordered so far is high quality and tastes excellent. My favorite place in Airdrie hands down!
