I really wanted to love this place but I was very disappointed with the portions. These were even smaller than tapas style. Flavors were okay, nothing out of this world. Our favorite part of the meal were the cocktails, although, they were mostly ice. I normally do not leave reviews, especially bad ones but I just wanted to be genuine and warn anyone considering this place. Be ready to spend $200 on two people to be just barely full.

Lonely Mouth is a beautiful restaurant and bar. The ambiance and noise level are excellent. The warm towels to wash our hands before eating was a nice touch. Extensive sake menu with great recommendations from our server. Feature negroni was also excellent. However, we were disappointed with the portion sizes and value for money. Portion sizes were surprisingly small and difficult to share as a result. We ended up ordering more food but were quite surprised how expensive the meal ended up being. The hand rolls tasted great, but are a single roll each in a long tube with seaweed. Biting into the seaweed was very tough and the filling would end up all over the plate! We would have preferred the rolls to be cut up into bite sized pieces. I think I would return for drinks and maybe a small snack, I don’t think I would come back for dinner.

We had an awesome experience! I missed our waitresses name, but she was so unbelievably helpful and kind. Neither my friend and I had been to Lonely Mouth before. The menu can be a bit intimidating (especially the Sake - lots of options), but she had great recommendations, was extremely knowledgeable and made our experience there 10/10. We ordered the Masumi ‘Shiro’ Junmai Ginjo Sake to drink and shared the Bluefin Tuna Tartare, Scallop HandRoll, Spicy Salmon HandRoll, Sashimi Platter (outstanding) and Tempura Shishito Peppers. The entire meal was memorable and we’ll definitely be back.

The services were good. They served hot towels at the start. I didn't have this experience in Calgary before. I highly recommend the tonkatsu sando. The pork was tender and juicy. The cold noodles was fresh and the soup base was tasty. The asparagus okonomiyaki was delicious.

We went there for the happy hour which featured a limited selection of menu items for 1/2 price. The udon bowls were ok flavor wise, $9 for beef (not part of the happy hour deal) is a bit steep. The hand rolls had too much seaweed paper, making it difficult to bite off if you didn't cut it. And even when you did cut the rolls in half, it was difficult to chew as compared to a regular maki roll. All in all, it was an ok experience. Expensively priced. I would rather go to a japanese restaurant instead.

Bluefin tartare flavours clashed and quite honestly did not taste good. Hand rolls were overpriced for what they were. Hot towels had a dirty stench. Sashimi was fresh and reasonably priced.

First visit to Lonely Mouth. We had an incredible meal. The pork dumplings were so tasty that we ordered a second round and the service was wonderful. Every detail was thoughtful and appreciated. The sashimi was delicate and fresh with the 2 dipping options. Will most definitely recommend to friends and family and anticipate that we will frequently return. Only potential improvement would be on the glassware for the cold sake, the wine glass felt a little oversized. Thank you for a lovely evening!

I was happily surprised about my experience at Lonely Mouth. I hadn't heard a lot about the restaurant but I will definitely be back. The unified experience between the food, decor and service was outstanding.
