Gorilla Whale - Reserva de mesa

We came here for happy hour which featured half off on all sake, wine, and beer. We ordered two glasses of sake and one glass of Riesling wine which was really good! They all went down really well. It was about $6 $7 after the discount so very reasonable. For food, we ordered the pork belly skewer to start. It was $8 so I was expecting the portion to be bigger although the taste was very good. It came with some raw egg dipping sauce. We were hesitant to us it at first but tried it in the end and it added a good flavour to the pork. For the main dishes, we got the chicken paiten ramen $18), and gorilla rice $18). The ramen was a bit spicy and the chicken broth is not the same as the pork brot...

Walked in on a friday evening and easily got a table for 6 people. Ricky was our server and was extremely knowledgeable about all the items on the menu. Ended up getting the ramen and some yakitori along with some milk bread. The ramen was tasty and filling but the noodles lacked the bite that a good bowl of ramen has. The broth seems to be a shoyu based broth which is lighter than traditional pork based broth. More ramen options in the future would be a welcome addition. The yakitori was tasty, especially the grilled chicken thighs and the dipping sauce that it comes with. Ask for the in-house made hot sauce, you won't regret it. The milk bread was also great with the togarashi bone marrow...

I don’t usually leave reviews, but had to in this case because the service we got last night was truly amazing. We had a large group and never once did I run out of water, beer, or food. I didn’t understand the menu so our server ordered something for me and explained what it was. Our food came out all at the same time for our group of 9. Being a busy mom, I’m always running around looking after my family so I was looking forward to a nice meal with adults and this restaurant exceeded expectations. Our group was very happy with the food quality and taste; the drinks menu was varied enough that everyone got something they could enjoy. Thanks again for making our night out a blast!

I was so pleased with my visit here! We had booked online for a Saturday brunch and ended up having the place to ourselves! The space is very comfortable and cozy. Everything on their menu sounded delicious, it was so hard to decide. Tempura soft shell crab benedict... This is what dreams are made of. We also tried the Orange Gochujang scramble. Fantastic. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other items. Service was very attentive, and they brought out Japanese donut bites for my birthday! Such an unexpected and thoughtful surprise. Definitely eat here Update have now tried the fried rice and chicken burger! Reserva una mesa ahora

One of my favorite restaurants in Calgary. Been here three or four times (in less than 3 months) since I finally made it here! Phenomenal food, service, ambiance! The Japanese Fusion brings a unique and delicious option to Calgary! I have tried both Ramen, Fried Chicken, Sashimi Donburi, every Skewer, Gyoza, Kimchi, Cucumber Salad, and for Pasta La Feasta Week the Freaky Styley Dan Dan Noodles. Everything is wonderful and the Gorilla Fried Chicken is one of the best dishes I've ever had! Must Try in Calgary/Alberta!!!

I had a bit more of a unique experience through a private event with a set menu. Food was amazing, certain items were not for me, but overall, really loved what was served. Salmon and chicken were some of the best I've ever had and the bread was a great way to clean up the plates and enjoy every bit. Atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Staff are great, always helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend for events of 20+ people (birthdays, graduation, any special occasion)
