4.5/5 ★ based on 8 reviews

Shokunin was born of the idea to provide exceptional food and cocktails in a room that is all inclusive. Crafted cocktails give way to charred yakitori and small plates shared among friends with a bottle of sake. Seasonal and local ingredients are combined with traditional Japanese techniques and flavour profiles to create a truly contemporary Japanese dining experience.

Best Authentic Japanese restaurant in Canada

J	Joshua Cura on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the best contemporary Japanese concepts in Alberta right now. We were looked after by Yan who took great care of us despite the Saturday night dinner rush. Food was served promptly and romanced when delivered helping us understand the best way to enjoy the dishes. Cocktails were unique and kept up with the same ingenuity of the food. The Feature sashimi was also really fresh and a great first impression to the rest of the meal. They know what they're doing here ??
A	Adrian Chan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A delightful meal and saw that this place was listed as part of Canada’s top 100 restaurants. The critics were definitely right as the yakitori (chicken skewers) were AMAZING. The price point of the skewers I would say are on the high end (around $6 per skewer) but definitely worth trying some of them. The curry dip for the katsu sando was a great combo. The raw items, the scallops and nigiri were all fantastic as this chef is familiar with such high quality items ( owner of Nupo as well)
K	Kim Aban on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My partner and I were there for Keisukes last day and it was so good. The staff here work so well together they make sure all the customers are taken care of, exceptional service. The food and especially the shokunin ramen was truly amazing! It’s no wonder lots of Japanese people love coming here. The atmosphere was fantastic but sad seeing one of their beloved chefs go. It’s an end of an era for shokunin but we’re very excited for what’s next. Having lived in Japan, I Definitely recommend coming here if you’re looking for a great izakaya experience. We hope Keisuke the best, we’re going to miss you!
K	Kenrick Li on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The ambiance was nice and food was good with fresh clean ingredients and high attention to detail featuring smooth developed flavors that were restrained and not over the top. The best part were the staff as they were very accommodating, knowledgable, and expressed genuine interest in their guests enjoying their time. Try their amazing cocktails!
T	Timothy Leung on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definitely feels authentic. Alcohol, and food are incredibly unique. Even though I wouldn't call it flavor-ful, the cooking technique gives it a unique experience. Definitely worth the try at least once! And the unique chicken part skewers make it a one of a kind place as well
C	Christine Ferguson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 stars all the way! Trendy little spot in downtown Calgary. Amazing service, delicious food and wonderful ambiance. The servers take the time to describe the dishes to you as they are brought to your table. Almost everything is made by the chef or sourced from his farm. Nice selection of wine and mixed beverages available as well!
V	Vanessa Hennessey on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We've wanted to come here for years and it is amazing. The skewers are delicious, the sake beer is amazing. Everything we ate was so good. Their special confit wings were the best wings we've ever had. Every chicken wing should taste like those. We're not from Calgary but this will be a place we come every time we come back for a visit. Also, amazing service!
E	Edward Flannery on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful, so beautiful, the presentation is only surpassed by the taste. The attentive and uniquely respectful food prep creates flavours you will literally never taste anywhere else. A beautiful, unique, experience, 20+ visits in the family and never the same experience, never a complaint, always a joy.
