ke charcoal grill and sushi

miso with lobster and mushrooms- inspired. and hot stone to cook your lamb chops to your own liking with a great mint and chili sauce. not too busy for a friday eve but it was nice out. sure hope this place survives.

on tuesday, l thought it was too hot to cook. that’s good news for me, as i’m the one who does most of the cooking at home. l can only cook five dishes: bbq ribs, bbq chicken, bbq pork loin, sausages and steak. l told me to pick the restaurant. i read a lot of positive reviews about ke charcoal grill and sushi on zomato and yelp, so i figured it was a safe enough bet. plus, the prices looked reasonable. with this economic recession, i feel really guilty going out to eat.

i have been to ke a fewtime now. and every time it was a great experience. the dishes are unique and tasty with quite the variety.i will return for it often

this was the worst sushi restaurant i have ever tried. the oshi sushi fell apart when my chopsticks touched it, the flavor was awful and the texture was old and chewy. the steak we ordered was over cooked and wasn't edible, when i asked them to remake it the manager had the odacity to bring it back to my table and tell me nothing was wrong with it and they only cooked steak one way - well done. the service was awful, the food terrible. i would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. please do not eat here. ever!!!!

really good food! free edamame!!! service was great and staff were friendly. the truffle tempura shrimp is a must try, batter was light and the lemon with the hint of truffle just made it all amazing! the stone grill was fun and good quality angus beef! the oysters we tried was really fresh, a little small for the price though.... but it was great! i'd definitely return!!

went there recently and was not impressed. their regular sushi is average, nothing special. oshi sushi was a complete failure. too much rice, and fell apart so easy, fast food sushi tasted better. only thing that was pleasant was the black cod. bill was quiet expensive as well. will not go back

so gabby and i have been talking about going for sushi for a couple of days, but we were a bit hesitant about trying out the gigantic windowless white box across the street. turns out you shouldn't judge a book by its cover!!
for dinner we had prosecco, oysters, chefs special s & s, some salad with with marinated sashimi, microgreens and taco chips, and i think something else but i can't remember what... it was all really good.

we did not order the lamb chop or the lamb chops because because they each cost $8 and i thought that was kind of a suspicious price. fortunately, i saw that the boys at the table next to us (who are moving to thailand) were eating lamb chop (lamb chops?). i said, hey dudes, how are the $8 lamb chop (lamb chops?). they were like great, can we buy you girls some?? we replied, sure.
anyways, soon the stereo started playing this great new song, which turned out to be the fire alarm. that did not stop everybody in the (packed) restaurant from singing along and dancing.
as we were enjoying our dessert of more prosecco and more oysters, several firemen marched in and checked out the kitchen. our bill was presented with an apology (and probably like us you're asking for what??). they then gave us an unopened package of bread sticks with icing on them, 10% off our bill, and a coupon for 10% off our next bill.
as we left, gabby and i agreed that this would be where we would eat dinner every night for the rest of our lives.

we checked out this new sushi place with a couple of our friends and it was great. there was a bit of a kerfuffle at first with the seating - they tried to sit us downstairs and then upstairs before finally deciding on downstairs. our server also forgot to grab us items every so often (non-food related items that is, such as an extra menu or serviette). however, she was very friendly. the food itself is great!! they present it all on cool wooden boards. the sushi is square rather than circle. they also have a few 'hot rock' items where they bring out raw meat and you cook it yourself on the sizzling hot rock (see our lamb below). the food and drink is also very reasonably priced. the place is also one of the better decorated sushi joints around town. we'd be back again for sure.

way overkill on the service- bordering on awkward. clientele need time to eat, relax and digest without constant attendance- we have been 3x so far and everytine we leave feeling the same way- serve the food but give us some space!

i think my experience for this restaurant was mixed, just like the focus of the food from this place. overall it was decent, the decor was interesting mix of chinese and japanese themed.

the stone grill was kinda a knockoff of grizzly house in banff, not as flavourful, the pressed sushi fell apart, normally a gelatin is used but they just put liquid sauce, causing the rice to fall apart. the chicken and beef charcoal grill was ok, portion and value was decent but the only good taste was the sesame sauce it came with.

i enjoyed the deep fried mochi, but if a thicker teriyaki sauce was used would definitely taste better, masking the taste of unsettled deep fryer oil.

i think they also do other dishes but i think there's no theme or direction with the restaurant, especially when siracha bottles are part of the decor.

the entrance is hard to spot and parking was difficult to locate. overall if i was to go back... i'd probably not go back as just like all the chinese take out places, this place is trying to cover too many dishes, and feed you by volume, for a higher price.

ke charcoal grill has finally opened after months of passing by and we decided to take my mom here for her birthday!. you are welcomed by the entire staff of the kitchen and were then lead upstairs.  the place is huge and the decor is lovely. complimentary dish. as we were looking at their vast menu, they brought out a complimentary dish of their ginger beef.  a bit battery, but the balance of the sauce was so tasty.

we've been waiting for this restaurant to open since last year! first time trying it and it was an amazing experience. when you get inside the restaurant, all of their staff would cheer or like welcome you. food is very delicious, we tried their steak & we did not regret it! it is grilled on top of a hot stone which i personally think is very cool. their sushi and special roll weren't only very pleasing to the eyes but also really good especially their angus beef roll! mochi was definitely my favorite, it's a sticky rice cake with soya sauce.
price of their food was reasonable because it was all worth trying. my boyfriend and i went crazy on the menu!
overall experience was really great! their staffs were very cheerful and super friendly! i highly recommend it & we will definitely be back.

great restaurant!!  i was waiting for this place to open with eager anticipation as their exterior looked like they paid attention to detail.  i took my wife and a group of friends here to celebrate her birthday dinner this past weekend.  lively place, very attentive staff, great and very reasonably priced gourmet food.  the interior was very nicely designed, with an open kitchen and an overall great atmosphere.  the staff are all dressed in yellow hats with rugby like jerseys complete with player numbers, representing their restaurant team.  the gentleman at the back with the red hat is terry ke, who i presume is the owner and head chef.  aside from our regular server, the manager (rey) spent time to introduce us to the restaurant and the menu, which sake to pair with which dishes and just took a lot of extra good care of us.  we had a group of 6 with one vegetarian so she hand picked our entire dinner, which included a wide assortment of deliciousness including charcoal grilled and seafood/sushi/sashimi.  she picked perfectly, not too little and not too much.  they also sent over a complimentary dish for us to enjoy.  i wish i remembered everything that we ordered, to better describe everything we had in this review.  however, all of the food were superb, as was the level of service and attention from their team.  everyone in our group remarked that they will be back, to this excellent restaurant.

absolutely delicious food. i had two of the oshi sushi offerings- this is pressed sushi and a decent value as each order comprises four pieces. i had the wild salmon, which came with a fantastic spicy miso topping, and a spicy tuna with spicy mayo. both were stunning. even more delectable was the chicken karaage, which is made with de-boned chicken leg, not thigh as is more common, and it was just perfect, with a gorgeous spicy mayo on the side. next to marra's way sushi in canmore, this is the best chicken karaage i've ever had in canada outside of vancouver- i could have eaten four orders of this one, just spectacular. the last and most expensive thing i ordered was the miso black cod from the grilled side of the menu. it was melt in your mouth fantastic with a dollop of japanese kewpie mayo on the side.

ke has things not often seen on japanese menus in calgary- it's not the bargain of nami across the street but it's a different sort of experience. i loved every bite of my dinner and as a bankviewite can see myself coming back here all the time. a blessing after months and months of delays in its opening and, cliched as it sounds, it was worth the wait.

my first visit was for lunch, the food is good the service is not, had to wait 10 minutes after being seated, the appetizer came after the main, no real clear indication of how to order or food description, the gyoza was good, i expected more from the sushi (the price warrants it) - to their credit they did try and appease me with a small scoop of green tea ice cream, ill try again, maybe for take-out.
