Ryuko South - Japanese Kitchen Bar

“ I really appreciate the pictures on the menu My party of four got Course C and everything was delicious! My personal favourite was the salmon & hamachi carpaccio Despite being told that our food might take awhile because of how much we ordered and how busy the restaurant was, we got our food surprisingly quick!! Danny is the real GOAT! Very charismatic, personable and he took some great pictures of our group. The restaurant is somehow both cozy and modern. Very nice ”

“ This has quickly become my wife and I’s favourite date night spot. The service has always been excellent, and the staff have always gone out of their way to accommodate us and our baby. The food has also been excellent, and well priced. Their tempura is delicious, and everything else off of their menu so far has been great. Portions have also always been good, we leave stuffed each time! ”

“ Thanks to my new friend My for introducing me to Ryuko and their Omakase lunch. The food was superb and so was our chef and the service. I had previously been to this location when it was a pub and I was delighted to see how much the decor has been changed. The ambiance is great and I would highly recommend this place for Japanese food. ”

“ My first time after my wife had tried it before and it didn’t disappoint. We enjoyed the Course A family style dinner which was ample, delicious and good value. Finished off with their very own Hojicha Tiramisu. I think we found a new favourite go to place. ”

“ Ryuko in South Calgary completely exceeded my expectations, even as someone with a shellfish allergy and a tendency to be picky about seafood-heavy restaurants. From the moment I arrived, the experience was unique—the house-like exterior added a warm and inviting touch to the drive-up. Once inside, I was welcomed with genuine hospitality and seated comfortably. Despite my reservations about seafood-focused menus, the food was absolutely amazing. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, accommodating my allergy without compromising on flavor. The attention to detail and quality ingredients really stood out, making it a dining experience I thoroughly enjoyed. Whether you have dietary concerns or not, I highly recommend Ryuko for its incredible food, welcoming atmosphere, and distinctive charm. ”

“ We (group of 3) went to Ryuko the first time today during lunch and had the most memorable & amazing experience! The atmosphere, quality of the food, and exceptional customer service was ALL amazing. Dobby is so friendly, kind, and very thoughtful - we strongly recommend trying the cocktails he makes! He is definitely an artist!! All of us had so much fun & really enjoyed our time there. Can't wait to go back to try different menus. ”

“ Phenomenal food. Each dish was amazing. We sat at the sushi bar, the sous chef was extremely polite and everyone seemed to really like working there. Food came at the perfect pace. My wife's cocktail was the best drink she has ever had (velvet kiss). We will be back and we will bring more friends next time! ”

“ The ambiance is lovely and the sushi is so fresh! We have always had a great meal here. Great service and beautiful presentation. The lunch special is perfect for a weekday lunch and is such great value for the price. Great for a date night, business lunch or dinner with the family. The menu is creative and has many options for those who do not eat raw or who do not eat fish. ”
