Such a tasty place. I’m a die hard Globefish fan, but this place gave them a run for their money. I was pleasantly surprised by freshness of tuna sashimi and killer miso soup. I had half raw entrées and cooked, both of which pleased my pallet. Without a doubt, I will consider this place over the trek to Kensington.

Wow!!! This place was delicious, I’m already dreaming of the next visit. Mio is definitely out of the way if you aren’t in the Airdrie/crossiron mall area. The sushi was fresh, fairly good size, and presented very well. The sushi is a little pricer compared to some other places in Calgary but well worth the difference. The one thing I would recommend everyone get is the creamy udon! Its was something I would never would have though of getting until my friend forced us to try it. The service was excellent and attentive and even for a Tuesday it was pretty full place. Go out and try this place, you won’t regret it. Happy munching!

I know a lot of people back home are going to think I’m nut for saying this, but it’s true… There is better sushi in and around Calgary than there is in Vancouver! This is where you’ll find it. It’s not cheap, but you pay for what you get and this is better than I’ve had back in BC. We weren’t sure about trying it but a few of the Unilocal Elite had posted good reviews, nevermind the history of reviews encouraging a positive experience, so we gave it a shot. D had a miso soup which I might try next time — it wasn’t too salty even after adding a little soysauce and had just the right balance of green onion and creamy tofu. We shared a prawn tempura, the batter light and crispy, well seasoned, wrapped around perfect fresh prawns. On the side was a lemon wedge with some kind of powder on it(looked like wasabi powder but we’re not entirely sure what it was) and some fluffy ginger. We squeezed the lemon with weird powder into the tempura sauce and added some of the white fluffy ginger, and wow was that ever the best tempura sauce we’ve ever had! On a whim I ordered my usual Chicken Karaage, which came out as lollypop style with a spicy mayo dip. Normally you see those and think«That is going to be dry or undercooked» but you would be wrong — they were juicy, perfectly cooked, and light. The batter around them was seasoned well enough you didn’t need the dip, but you would use the dip anyway because it had flavour that just popped with the chicken. We also tried one Ebi Special roll each which was super spicy and fresh, a Smoked Sake Nigiri each that was very fresh but had a very very light smoke flavour, and he tried the Unagi Nigiri which supposedly was better than Benkey in Aldergrove — hard to believe since even I would eat that one! I tried the Negitoro roll, very fresh and light, I’ve gotten used to the chunky green onion most places use so the light strands were a surprise. We each got a Philadelphia roll because there’s no sharing that one! Chilled cream cheese with fresh salmon, avocado, and leftover spicy mayo to dip it in? The best! The last roll that we took our time on was the Salmon Isobe roll. We weren’t sure what to expect with this one so when it came out we didn’t recognize it at first. Spicy sauce on the plate with the rolls neatly laid out. The rolls themselves were salmon wrapped in the seeweed and a super light tempura-like batter. It was obvious that the rolls had been dipped in a frier just long enough to crisp the batter and sear the fish without loosing any of the freshness — that takes some serious skills! To get that timing right, kudos to the cook! We love this place and will be going back for sure! You can tell the staff are doing what they love when you walk into this restaurant.

I was recommend by a new fellow Unilocaler Rita W. to this restaurant. Since my new work place located up north. So I decided at food tour drive all they way to Airdrie to try out this restaurant with another Unilocal elite James C. Base on my analytical review are very similar to Unilocaler Rita W because I ordered the hot rock stone dinner. I am not going to write too much stuff on it. Although, the services was excellent base on weekdays. James order weekday set dinner only cost $ 20. With miso soup, sommonos, dynamite roll, assorted tempura, calamari, and more I can’t remember. This is a hidden gem in Airdrie, I will definitely will return for update review.

The boyfriend and I always seem to have the trouble of deciding where to eat. Today as we sat in the car I flipped through a newspaper and found out about Mio; and am I ever glad I did. This restaurant is a short drive away from Crossiron Mills and perfect for those that hate to look for parking. The restaurant atmosphere was welcoming and was very cozy. Upon entering, I was hit by a food scent that I couldn’t quite place… and still can’t… perhaps it was the smell of cooked meat? Anywhos, aside from that, the menu was easy to navigate and the server was super helpful in explaining the menu. We opted to go for a Dinner on Rock, Grasshopper Roll, and various Sushi and a Maki Roll(Tamago, Ikura, Salmon and Spicy Salmon Roll) all to share. I felt that they took a fusion approach with their sushi, the tamago was a bit on the softer and wetter side as well. We were quite surprised with the Grasshopper roll; it was quite«green» to taste but very addicting! The star of the supper was of course the«Dinner on Rock». This package included soup, salad, rice, dessert, dipping sauces and a variety of 8 oz total meats for our grilling pleasure(Beef, Lamb, Scallop, Prawn, Salmon). The process reminded me of going to Grizzly Paw in Banff, but at a much more affordable price. The process was very enjoyable as it was so hands on and much less intimidating than going to a Korean BBQ. The table ended up covered in butter and meat juices, so make sure you don’t leave your phone near the stone grill. Overall we enjoyed our experience immensely, and left with our clothes filled with the aroma of cooked meat. Would highly recommend for those looking for something different close to the Calgary area.

Great place for lunch. Really quick. Service is great. Ordered Lunch box $ 12.95. Too many choices and comes with soup and rice.

Impressive! Staff was friendly, prompt and accommodating to our infant daughter. The menu is varied and includes such novelties as a «Grasshopper» roll; asparagus, avocado, alfalfa, and cucumber. The traditional fair(ie: special scallop) was served in fresh cucumber. Being our first time we had to order enough to taste the overall quality and we were impressed. Snuck in between two fast-food places you will be pleasantly surprised at the slow peaceful feeling this little gem offers. We will return.
