We celebrated our anniversary here with our family, and it was such a lovely experience! The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and it’s very kid-friendly — they even provided learner chopsticks for our little one (as you can see in the picture), which was such a thoughtful touch.
The food was fantastic. The takoyaki tasted just as good as the ones I had in Tokyo — crispy on the outside and perfectly soft inside. The sashimi bowl was another highlight; the salmon was incredibly fresh and flavorful.
They also sell learner chopsticks, and I couldn’t resist getting two pairs to take home — a nice little souvenir from a great meal!
On top of that, the service was amazing — friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. It made our special day even more memorable.
Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Japanese food and a family-friendly dining experience. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I had the best experience here!
The service was very accommodating for it being Valentine’s Day. The staff were so friendly! Sushi was super fresh and amazing! They gave us flowers at the end of our date:) It was a great end to our night!

Excellent sushi!
I really enjoy a specialty roll and these 2 did not disappoint! The bloody vampire was just the right amount of spice. The tateyama was nice, crispy, and delicious also!
Fast and friendly service!

Came here based on a friends recommendation and we thought it was good. We got the Ohana-ya combo for 2 which came with a variety of sashimi, nigiris, and rolls. They have daily specials so we got 15% off this sushi combo. Would recommend this place for value sushi.

The atmosphere is very relaxed and quiet! If you want to enjoy your food in peace, this is a good place to be. Servers are attentive, and food comes within a good time. I’ve been going here for years, so it’s tried and true 🙂
Update: I just finished my hamachi and sockeye salmon nigiri. Omg! It’s melt in your mouth. So buttery soft! And the taste is super clean. Not fishy at all, literally. The green tea is also served at the perfect temperature. You won’t burn your tongue.

My family and I love going to Ohana-Ya. We choose to have dinner there quite often. They always have great food, excellent service, and the staff are always very kind. This year they handed out flowers for Valentine’s Day. It was a very nice touch.

My first time trying their sushi was back in 2021 and I was very impressed with the size of the nigiri as they were huge. Taste and quality was pretty decent, price point seemed slightly higher, but overall, I really enjoyed my meal. Another decent sushi place in St. Albert. I work in St. Albert, so I would absolutely order lunch or order for pick up from here again.

This is my go to, favourite Japanese restaurant. The food tastes like it was made with love and passion. Sashimi is thick and fresh, the ramen is hearty and satisfying, the rolls are always consistent and they don’t skimp on ingredients! I love the dinner teishoku sets because you get a little bit of everything. Good selection of ramune and Japanese beer. I live 45 mins away but will make the drive to come here.

I was greeted with a smile, service was impeccable. They were very quick and prompt, asking what I needed, etc. appreciate the service. When I saw the my bubble tea come out in a cup like this that I get to take home, I was thrilled! I really feel they go the extra mile. They’re all so friendly, and the food was great. I’d love to come back and try more food. Portion size–exactly what I needed. I have to say the spicy pork ramen wasn’t that spicy. On a scale 1-10 I’d rate it a 2 or 3. The decor of the restaurant definitely gives that Japanese feel, they even have a mini-mart where they sell products from Japan!
