Definitely order the Playboy Roll. It's beautifully cooked in a open flame concept in front of you and it tastes amazing. Servers were quick and friendly. Also enjoyed the spicy salmon roll. Overall the sushi is tasty, atmosphere was quaint and lovely, and service was good. The price is rather steep though. Would occasionally come back for a quiet peaceful dinner night with my boyfriend.

Incredible sushi! Maybe one of the best sushi meals I’ve had in years! It might be a little pricy compared to other sushi joints in Calgary but boy it’s worth it! The rolls are huge and you might struggle to fit the whole piece in your mouth but when you do, an explosion of flavors from the tasty rice to the flavorful nori and ending with a mix of vegetables and fish. We ordered the scallop tempura roll which was superb! I he Wave roll was also very good but my favorite was the spicy salmon which came with chunks of fresh farmed salmon! They are very generous with the cuts of salmon they use which is great for us! The black and white roll wasn’t as complicated as the others but super tasty nonetheless! The wild salmon nigiri was just incredible because wild salmon tastes much sweeter than the farmed salmon and it’s lovely! We ordered a Deluxe Sashimi assortment which came with amazing salmon, soft red tuna, incredible white tuna (much nicer than the red tuna), flavorful clams, tender sweet shrimp and soft scallops! The sashimi is perfect and a logical addition to our order!
This used to be my favorite sushi place and frankly it still is but I feel the quality and freshness has come down. I've been going here for 10 years and the original owners and quality were the best but their sushi rolls are still good but they are big, which isn't a bad thing. Can't miss the spicy salmon roll, avalanche roll, spider roll and towa roll and their deep fried rolls. Skip the sashimi as it's fresher elsewhere. Skip the cooked items too. Come for big rolls, leave happy
We stopped in Towa sushi while at lilac festival they have a small section of seating outside which was perfect ! Servers are so kind, all meals come with complimentary salad and miso soup. Prepare yourself though the rolls are seriously massive ! The presentation is amazing, everything is really fresh but the pieces are very big. Each piece had to be eaten in bites so it was not the prettiest thing to watch. The flavours and variation of rolls was really neat I quite enjoyed the Hawaiian roll that had pineapple in it as well. Prices are a little steep but given the size of the rolls and the option of ordering half sizes (4 pieces) it made it a lot better.
Towasushi was in my mind an original sushi spot. The location was in trendy 4th street and the rolls are well priced and original. Taste wise they are consistent and it is a clean environment. Definitely a date spot as you enter downtown.
Their sashimi is very fresh, and this is the one sushi spot that for some reason I tend to order sake. Which I rarely partake in during meals.
Best time to be here is during daytime hours especially Sundays and festival time like during Lilac Fest.
I tried Towa again on my day off this week. I have been a few times. The quality of the Sushi is great but for me the pieces are just too large. I like a bite sized piece, these are great but twice the norm, it tends to break up when trying to eat it. Other items are done to perfection.
We ordered the sashimi salad to start. It was delicious! Very fresh and loved the dressing. The rolls here are HUGE so be careful when ordering. Everything was delicious and we were SUPER full (1 salad and 4 rolls between 4 people). Do not order sashimi here. It's so thin, way too over priced. I also had to dock some points for their service. It was pretty standard, nothing stood out.
An elegant restaurant with delicious sushi. The prices are definitely on the higher end but the portions are quite generous and the food is delicious!
We appreciated the beautifully assembled rolls overflowing with delicious fish! Such an amazing meal! Service was attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back!!!
Prepare yourself for the enormity of these rolls. Take advantage of the multi-round culture of sushi and order a small round and then decide on your second round, because it would be both likely and sacrilegious for you to not be able to eat everything you order at this restaurant. That being said, it's SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD! Black & white roll is a favorite.
