Dono Sushi in Lethbridge is a true gem for lovers of Japanese cuisine. From the moment I walked in, the warm ambiance and clean, thoughtfully designed space made a great first impression. The seating is comfortably spaced, offering a balance of privacy and coziness. Service was top-notch—courteous, efficient, and helpful with recommendations. I especially enjoyed the seaweed salad and the tempura roll, which was perfectly crispy and full of flavor. The lunch bento box with sashimi and udon was beautifully presented, fresh, and satisfying, with generous portions. For the quality and quantity, the pricing felt incredibly fair. This place nails it on every level—highly recommended!

My husband and I came here for dinner for my birthday. We are from out of town and thought we would try it out. We were greeted right away, the waitress was very friendly and showed us to our table. She brought us our waters right away and dishes. She took our order within 5 mins of us sitting down and looking at the menu. She rang in our order and another tables order straight away! It took under 10 mins for our appetizer to arrive and not too long after that for the rest of our food.
The flavor of everything was incredible and was all very obviously fresh! The only thing I had a small complain about was that the sushi pieces would fall apart real easy which made it a little hard to eat but just also shows that everything was truly fresh ingredients and the flavor of everything over ruled all of that so I didn’t even care. The waitress checked in on us often, refilled our drinks and took away our empty dishes as soon as we were done with them. We were also given a free piece of tempura cheesecake for my birthday and that was one of the best things I have ever tasted! Overall excellent experience, some of the best sushi we’ve ever had. Will definitely go here again.

This one is worthy of spending your money on a meal for authentic Japanese cuisine in Lethbridge. There was a wait for the food today but my whole family was amazed by the overall and the interior Japanese renovation. This restaurant is different from others we have ever tried in Canada. Based on what we had today, they didn’t put a lot of rice in rolls and sushi to make eaters full of rice. Rather they put a lot of different types of food in a combo (we ordered three lunch specials, to be clear). Each lunch special cost only around $20. It was really a good deal!

It has a nice environment, private seating areas, seating is uncomfortable. Sushi rolls were decent, cream cheese used in many of the rolls which is great if you like cream cheese. There was a hot roll that was the star of the show I really enjoyed. Wait staff was great as well.

First time ever trying . Rolls were much larger than expecting , caterpillar roll was amazing the best Ell I have had. Tempura beautifully crispy with lots of variety, smaller portion than my usual place and much smaller dip. Cost approximately equal to favourite though this was majority vegetable on plus side they have a Huge Variety of Vegetable options Thou .

More of a 4.5 than a 5 but only because I found the food to be too hot in that the food was just too spicy/hot and that took away from the flavour of the sushi rolls itself. Not a big thing if you’re into hot/spicy foods but I personally think it needs to be balanced. If the food wasn’t as spicy/hot, that it would’ve gained a full 5 stars to be honest.
Overall though, the food was absolutely delicious and full of flavour if you scraped off some of the hot sauce used. Rolls were made to order and a nice good decent size as well with high quality and fresh ingredients. Tempura was absolutely perfectly crispy and balanced – prawns were a good size too.
Service itself seemed pretty decent but it was takeout of course due to the ongoing pandemic. Person who took our order and cash was friendly and professional.
A pleasant surprise in the middle of Lethbridge to be honest. We were not disappointed whatsoever and really enjoyed the food.

I would recommend getting there early. There are private booths to sit in but they are limited. The food is always fresh and very inviting. Sauces complement the dishes. There is a wide variety as well. If you are not used to raw fish, there is also a choice of vegetarian rolls, or cooked meat rolls such as beef, salmon, or imitation crab. The amount of food is very filling. It doesn’t sound like much but trust me, it is.
I had the Yula’s Plate and a Veggie Roll. Yula’s Plate is a mixture of salmon. You can also try a red tuna. Tastes very close to salmon. Very “clean” tasting. Not a harsh fish taste. Soft in texture. The Veggie Roll is a bigger roll. It compliments all the meat in the main plate. Perfect amount to share.
It is also fun learning how to use chopsticks. A bit of a challenge when I first started. That’s why God gave me hands. :). For the people allergic to soy or gluten, try Coconut aminos. It is less salty but a wonderful replacement. You will need to take your own bottle. I would love if brown rice were a choice as well. It is full of fibre, and more nutrient dense. It would complement the flavours as well. I enjoy my meal and experience every time I go or even have it delivered. Another happy customer. Thank you so much for all that you do!!

Beautiful place with amazing food! It gets quite busy a lot which means the food takes a while as well, but it’s worth it. Takoyaki, Chicken Mayo Bowl, Deep-fried Gyoza, and Creamy Lava Roll are the ones we often order.

This was my first time here, I came with my brother who eats here frequently and says it’s the 2nd best sushi in Lethbridge, but it has better prices so he usually chooses Dono as it is the best value. Great food, my daughter was with us as well and there is something on the menu for all tastes from tempura rolls (fully cooked ingredients) to nigiri (usually raw fish on rice) they also have tempura vegetables and shrimp, which were also really good. Plus my brother paid for lunch!!!!
