Best Japanese Restaurants in Lake Bona Vista

Food was excellent, service was very good, server was attentive to our needs. Great job.

It was one of the experiences we have had in quite a long time. The staff were all fabulous, the food was so good, no it was beyond excellent. And the drinks were amazing. Our server Maya was perfect, we couldn’t have asked for better.

Where do I even start! My husband and I came here for the first time to celebrate our three-year anniversary, and I cannot believe we hadn’t come here sooner. The ambiance was perfect—warm lighting and cosy decor set the stage for a lovely evening! We were greeted by Stu, who is super friendly (and very funny) and he made us feel right at home! We even had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was absolutely lovely and took the time to chat with us and gave us recommendations for other restaurants as well, as we are new to Calgary. They offer a wide variety of dishes, but we opted for their specials. I ordered the seafood pasta, while my husband chose the wagyu steak. Both dishes were beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. To finish off the evening, we indulged in dessert. The Nutella cheesecake was heavenly—light and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. Overall, our experience at Carino was exceptional. We left feeling happy, full, and excited to return. If you're looking for a place that combines great food with a lovely atmosphere, Carino is definitely the place for you!

Great overall!! The bluefin tuna sushi is really good. I didn’t particularly enjoy the spiced cocktail but the rolls and everything else was fabulous

Impeccable meal with exquisite food and service. This is very likely one-of, if not the, best sushi spots in Calgary. 3 business meetings here in the last 2 months for lunch, each time it was spectacular. Their sashimi selection and quality is a 10/10.
