"We went for a birthday lunch, 10 girls. We let the chef pick our food, just said to keep it within $35 per person... Best decision. We tried things we probably would've never ordered before and it was sooo worth it. I recommend this way Food is simply magnificent. Ki sushi is mouthwatering, exquisite gourmet experience"

"We booked dinner at Ki simply because it was close to our hotel in Calgary, but came away very pleased with our luck. Dinner was fantastic. We tried both the sushi and a hot entre and while both were superbly cooked and beautifully presented, I plan to focus on the sushi when we stop by again. The service was also great! Our waiter was very attentive and helpful, and genuinely seemed proud of the food he was serving us. If you're in the mood for Japanese in downtown Calgary, I highly recommend Ki. You won't be disappointed."

From the moment we entered, we were thoroughly impressed. The food tastes amazing, and the presentation is divine. Our waiter was fantastic and provided us with great recommendations. The food came out without too much of a wait, and it was worth every penny! Great experience overall, will be going here often!"

"I'm going back here for sure!! We went on Valentine's day and had the chef's special. It was e'special'ly non-memorable and very expensive. We paired it with alcohol which most of we couldn't drink since it was so Sake heavy. One is okay, but keep bringing it all night and I nearly gagged. Thankfully a couple wines came which were excellent.
Reason I'm going back, is that everyone ELSE who wasn't on the chef's special - Their food looked spectacular and they were happy and satisfied. This 'special' valentine dinner was like the chef had too many ingredients that were going bad so he needed to throw it together in dishes that didn't make sense (soggy popcorn in one dish?). Next year I'm getting a box of turtles and staying home."

"Ki was awesome! this was my second time there and it was better than the first. The seared scallops were AMAZING as well as the halibut. The sushi was super fresh and prepared perfectly. The desserts were Yummy! Thanks for the great meal Adam!"

"I found my visit to Ki quite disappointing. Keeping things short and to the point: Sushi was decent-to-good in quality, but seriously overpriced (there are better options out there). At a superficial glance the decor seemed appealing, but in reality it was way too dark, dated, and depressing (think 1970's steakhouse). Service was ok until it came time to request the bill (waiter disappeared, and after far too long of a wait another server clued-in and realized we were being neglected). Manager (assuming) was in the area and didn't notice either. As far as presentation was concerned, the plates utilized did not match, and were inconsistent. I'd expect a lot more from an establishment that positions itself as being "high-end"."

"Great food, one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The valentines chocolate in a hand made box was a nice touch. Would have preferred the TV's to be off though - it took away from the ambiance."

"It was a beautiful friday afternoon, my boy and I had just gotten off from a stressful day from school. And I have been CRAVING sushi for the past month. So as I browsed through all the different sushi restaurants available, nothing really caught my eye except Ki Mordern Japan. The service was great and very attentive. If you like hot towels before your food this is the place for you. Food was so-so, not too special as you can get it anywhere else for half the price. The chef's menu was creative but again nothing too special. They had a great sake selection and interesting sake cocktails. Overall great place for business meeting and special occasions since a normal 2 people meal can cost at least $150."

"We had a great experience there for lunch on a busy Tuesday. The reception was profesional and modern with polite and attentive serivce, our reservation was available early so no waiting at all. The interior is not too dark and lavishly decorated if not a little swanky! This would definately be a great night out spot. The server was very knowledgeable and helped us with our selections as well as timing of the service was perfect; they really know how to keep the table satisfied and progressing along as it was a busy lunch. The food was outstanding and very well presented. Some of the items we ordered we a little too rich but that was what we ordered so we can't complain. We both said we would definately come back here for dinner and soon."

"Went in for a quick lunch with a friend, we had both been in before, and it didn't disappoint as usual. Our server Jenny was excellent and timely and the manager Adam even came by to check on us and say hello. Please keep up the excellent guest service and wonderful food. Can't wait to go back."

"I actually really enjoyed Ki, the selection was great with items and fish I have never had before. The servers made some great recommendations. My reason for not so great a rating is that once I got home, I realized that we didn't receive 2 of the dishes we ordered but were charged for them! and considering the quite high prices I am quite upset"

"The food was delicious. The complimentary sushi from the chef to every table was superb and a nice surprise. The service was excellent as they were able to accommodate us as we had an event to attend later that evening. Seems like communication was good as the manger even knew our situation. He wished us a good time at our event on our way out. We have recommended this restaurant. In fact, we enjoy it so much, we are taking a few folks there this weekend. See you soon!"

"Frankly, I was disappointed by Ki, and didn't think the modest quality of the food warranted the high prices. I think there is too much focus on ambiance and image (and attitude), too little focus on food."

"Exemplary friendly service often makes any evening memorable. I have been to Ki on 6 occasions (4 in Calgary and 2 in Toronto). The Calgary experience trumps Toronto because of the personal attention that I consistently receive. This does not mean that Toronto is not exceptional. It is. Calgary is simply better. This is due, in large part, to the thoughtful, genuine, care and interest that Ki waiter, Apostol, has in my dining experience. All staff at this restaurant, from the maî·tre d' to the bus-boy make me feel as if my presence is appreciated and valued. Well done."
