Kirala Sushi and Grill - Airdrie

I usually don't write reviews, but I feel like I have to share how awful my experience was at this restaurant. It was the worst dining experience I've ever had.

The other day, I went to a restaurant with my friend D to quickly drop off a card he needed for gas. Unexpectedly, I stayed longer than planned and ended up chatting with two of his coworkers.

Recommend this awesome gem! Fresh and yummy. Great staff. Come support this fantastic family business!

En route from BC to Alberta, we stopped to take a day between adventures and discovered this unprepossessing little gem of a restaurant located in a strip mall. I had two boys with me for supper, both under 13. We chose the all you can eat sushi. Prices are reasonable at $18.99/pp for the boys and $29.99 for me as an adult. These are dunner prices. The food was very tasty. The boys ate like adults and both are usually grazers. They enjoyed it so much, they ate far more than usual. The sushi rice is nicely done, though some of the rolls were a smidgen loose. The tea was smooth. My 12-year old had the banana bubble tea and loved it. Our 11-year old guest had a shirley temple and advised it was amazing. The presentation of food was visually very appealing. Service was two thumbs up. My older son was so impressed by our server, he asked that we tip high. He's 12, and has never before asked this. From a service perspective: our orders were taken promptly. Food was delivered soon after our orders were made. Beverages were delivered initially very promptly. One con was that one of the boys was quite thirsty and went looking for water refills repeatedly. A slight adjustment to the server's check-in would tend to this. We were so focused on the very tasty menu items that we were not bothered by this. Ambiance: two thumbs up. Booth seating is comfortable and the backs of each booth extends high so it affords a natural break and some privacy for conversations. There were others in the restaurant but it never felt loud. Lighting was sufficient but not too bright nor too dim to see what we were eating. We enjoyed it so much that we have a lunch date planned for tomorrow before we strike out on our next adventure. Highly recommend this restaurant for both couple and families. There is a very vast menu for folks who prefer a la carte. The beverages the boys chose were not part of the AYCE, hover very worth it based on their feedback. We were so full that we didn't make it to dessert.

This is hands down our favourite sushi place in Airdrie! My kids and I have been coming here for over 10 years...I would say honestly around 100 times or more. The food is always fresh and delicious, the staff is very friendly and attentive and the food comes fast and very reasonably priced. We've never been disappointed or had a negative experience which is why we've always kept coming back :) After reading the previous comment below I can very honestly say that we have never once found a hair in our food (that's 100 or more meals for 4 people) and it would be very unfair to judge the restaurant based on that. Also...who tries to just leave without paying? Just saying!
