Furusato Japanese Restaurant

Twenty plus years ago I visited Furusato. It was the spot for sushi, I even drove once from Calgary to Edmonton and dining at Furusato was the highlight of the trip. Fast forward two decades, I brought my kids to enjoy the same sushi restaurant I enjoyed so much. The reviews were great and they got 4.5 stars according to Google. The only thing that seemed to remain the same was the decorations from 20 years ago. The ownership was changed, the place was less busy (Sat night). The seafood portion was good for the price, the major downfall was that the sushi rice was not seasoned with vinegar for the nigiri and the chirashi don. I was surprised most of the google reviews gave them a 5 stars despite this short coming. Other than that, the service was great and prompt. They even threw in a deep fried salmon head for free.

Food was below average, yellowtail was gross, squid was mushy. But if it was for the food itself, I would give it 3 stars. Service was horrible. Server kept coming to check on us every few minutes, which I can appreciate why, but was really annoying. She was taking away dishes that we haven't yet finished, as if she was in a rush to get us out of there at 8:00, and it was not busy at all. Then she brought us the bill and kept asking us to pay. Never going back again.
