Lonely Mouth Bar

Friend took me here for a birthday lunch, and it was a wonderful experience! Food: great presentation, fresh, authentic, good quality, but the hand rolls were a bit skimpy. Service: very attentive, elevated but casual, and prompt. Atmosphere: the decor and ambience is amazing. Warm, mid-century, and Japanese-minimalistic. Comfortable booths, variety of patio options, great for date nights, night out, lunch, etc… Value: a bit pricey if you’re here strictly for the food. Definitely paying a premium for the atmosphere and location. However I think it’s worth it. Heard good things about the happy hour as well that I’d like to check out.

Fantastic experience! We had a great time – the food was excellent, and the service was outstanding too. We received personalized service that was definitely worth a generous tip. The food was delicious; we all loved it. While the flavors were spot-on, the portions might be a bit small for some. The pork chop sandwich was our favorite – we ordered two! The flavor is truly one-of-a-kind. Their happy hour is highly recommended – nearly half the price! The menu isn't extensive, so you could easily go through the whole menu. But honestly, every dish was excellent. Would absolutely recommend it for any occasion.

We came for happy hour and it was honestly pretty good! I’m typically hesitant on Asian restaurants managed by large restaurant conglomerates (in this case Concorde Group) as it can typically lose on authenticity and flavour depending on the team. The dumplings were really yummy, and I loved their version of the agedashi tofu. We also had a couple hand rolls that were good, the negitoro could use a bit of a stronger green onion flavour but it was tasty enough. The spicy salmon handroll was nicely flavoured and not too spicy. The curry udon was tasty, but the Hitoshi udon was a miss for me. It’s difficult to retain udon texture in a cold application but it could use some reworking. Food overall was a 4 star. Our server was such a sweetiepie, he kept our waters refilled and checked on us often. With his service and the aesthetics, I’d give this place a 5 star for happy hour and will be back to try their mains.

The food were great, though a bit salty for my taste. My wife, my little daughtet and I loved both the vibe and taste. The prices, especially the Happy Hour (2pm till 5 pm, at a half price for drinks and reduced prices for selected menu), is excellent! Gorgeous cocktails! Staff was extra ordinary friendly, and kind. Kids are welcome till 9pm.

Great experience! We had fun, food was great, so was the service. We got personalized service, worth of good tipping. Food was good, we all love it. Good but for some could be a bit small portions. Definitely recommend for any occasion.

We had a lovely experience in this restaurant. The drinks were great. The food was surprising and delicious! Crafted with care. Virginia was our server and she was excellent. Great selection of Japanese spirits!

Some of the best udon I've had outside of Japan. Incredible texture and the soup is rich in flavour. The handrolls were great so was the home made soy sauce. Some of the worst dessert I've had in my life. Texturally the donut is more akin to a ball of paste but this is the least terrible thing about this dish. The taste of the miso caramel and sesame ice cream was almost non existent. The flavours are muddled and muted. The final nail in the coffin for this dish was the creative decision to put tograshi on top of ice cream. However, everything else I had was fantastic so I'm choosing to overlook the dessert.

Food was great and restaurant deco are cute! The visit was for a friend’s birthday and we enjoyed the environment and food. However the experience was a little rushed as the servers were constantly coming to our table taking away dishes when we just put down utensils and still had food in our mouths :( we were still eating and had dessert in our plates when the server asked if we’re done and if she could take the plates away. After taking the plates away she immediately started to wipe our table and ask if we’re done and if we need anything else. The whole experience felt like the servers just wanted us to leave immediately, we felt very rushed and we haven’t been there for long. Our reservation was at 5:00pm and we were out of the restaurant by 6:00pm. There were tables with people there staying for way longer and they weren’t rushed and treated like this.

Came here at 11pm on a Friday night and there was surprisingly no wait and was kind of empty inside. My fiance and I ordered the curry udon, the kake udon with chicken, and a tonkatsu sando. We were pleasantly surprised with how great everything tasted. The udon is freshly made and the soups were so flavorful. The chicken was so tender and went really well with the broth. The tonkatsu sando was light and crispy and the sauce was tangy and smoky. Great spot for late night eats! It's located next to lots of bars so it was pretty loud. Servers were super nice and accommodating to let us move to a different table since it was too loud.

Food is very good here. A personal favourite is the scallop hand roll. Also had the curry udon and that was wonderful as well. The tuna tartare is a hit or miss sometimes - I've gotten it over salted and just perfect, so I guess depends on the chef. Happy hour always has good prices. Service could use a little work when it gets busy. Your table goes unnoticed for a good 20+ minutes even with 5 different workers walking by you every two minutes. Takes them a long time to get to you when you ask for assistance.

The hostess was extremely rude (rolled her eyes when we wanted to confirm we were sitting in the dining area instead of patio). Waitress was very nice and service was fine. We ordered the salmon, zuke, and scallop sashimi and the quality wasn't great. The flavor of the hand rolls (spicy salmon&negi toro) was okay. Udon noodles in Kake udon had a very nice chewy texture and the soup base was good. Lonely Mouth Sour cocktail had a nice yuzu flavor and worked perfectly with the egg white foam at the top.

I can't resist freshly made noodles. We traveled to Calgary last month and found that Lonely Mouth Bar has freshly made udon during happy hours, where the udon is half-price and a hand roll is $4. Of course, we must give it a try. The ambiance was amazing and made me feel like I was in Japan. We ordered two udon and hand rolls. The hand roll didn't quite meet our expectations and was a bit small, but their house soy sauce was delicious and not too salty. We ordered the shaved beef and shredded chicken udon. They were top-notch. The udon was fantastic, chewy, fresh and served with flavorful broth. We finished everything, including the broth. The portions were generous. However, the happy hour promotion was only for plain udon $8 and the meat was the regular price. It was actually a bit pricey without the happy hour promotion.

The atmosphere was nice. But for the price/portion size. You are better off getting sushi elsewhere. The pieces of the sashimi on the platter were very small and thin. For that I expected better quality. The hand rolls were smaller than the typical cone, nothing outstanding. Enjoyed the miso code, but it was quite pricey for the portion. I don't think I would go back.

This place has a very good Happy Hour menu. Their udon noodles during their happy hour is a great price and the noodles are delicious. I've been here twice but only during their Happy Hour so I cannot comment on the rest of the menu. Service is great. Will come back to try their regular menu someday.

We had the sashimi platter and curry udon. Curry udon was pretty good. Was disappointed with the sashimi platter. Was expecting bigger portions, or at least if the portions were small, I expected the quality of fish to be better. I don't think I would go back unless it is during happy hour.

Delicious meal, lovely atmosphere, and fancy cocktails. The service was very good and they were very careful with the allergies in our group.

Such good food! Very attentive servers! Pretty cool ambiance. Happy hour prices are great!

Pricey..... but worth it! Treated myself to dinner this Friday and saw that Lonely Mouth had a last minute reso spot on OpenTable. Ambience is great. Feels like a proper Japanese inspired restaurant. Staff and servers were all attentive and friendly. Food was solid!! Udon noodles are a must! My favorite dish I had tonight. Server told me that the noodles are made fresh each morning. Broth was also delicious. I also got a spicy salmon and crab hand rolls which are the only dishes designed to feed 1. Otherwise most of the dishes are traditionally shared. The shrimp tempura was fresh and crisp. And finally the roasted cauliflower was just okay to me - but everything else was delicious!!!

Delicious Asian inspired/ fusion dishes. Beautiful boho interior design with nice wood elements. Cocktails, as expected, are pricier ~$15.

We had a really lovely meal here! The udon was delicious and they make their noodles fresh every day. The yam tempura had a nice light batter and was yummy dipped in the udon broth. They were extremely receptive to my shrimp allergy and the staff was overall super nice. Would recommend! The vibe is awesome!

Their food is the best sushi rolls i have EVER had. The people there are so nice rhey gave us cold towels since it was super hot ! The style is very luxurious and rustic at the same time.

Great ambience Japanese restaurant located on 17th Ave. The milk buns I would pass although they were fresh but not worth the price. The sando was a nice bite size starter to share. The chips that came with the tuna tartar was a bit oily but nothing special as its something I could get at cactus club. The Udon had good flavouring and the noodles were a nice texture. The price is a bit steep at this place so not a go to for me

Absolutely awful service. We had a reservation and were asked to leave when guests at our table were still eating their dinner. It was unbelievable.

Another good Concorde group place with a nice vibe! My favourite was the tuna tatare. It was light, fresh, and flavourful. The Brussel sprouts were pretty good too. The tempura was nicely fried and crispy. We also ordered the wagyu beef and spicy salmon hand rolls. I didn't like the how they mostly tasted like rice and seaweed. I would have preferred more meat inside. The turnips were a nice palate cleanser, but I felt the bottom pieces were quite heavy on the miso flavoring. I really enjoyed the scallops and oysters on the sashimi platter. The sauce they give you with the platter is unique and pairs well with all the pieces.

I did not have high expectations! It was a really beautiful restaurant with amazing customer service. The hand sushi roll was so good. The seaweed had perfect flavour. The curry beef udon is amazing. I was nervous trying a curry in a Japanese soup. But it was so good with a very soft beef brisket that did not get stuck in my teeth. A soft runny egg was a perfect top off. The Udon was perfect softness. The cod was soft and perfectly flavored. Buttery. I strongly recommend these dishes and you must come and try this amazing experience.

Great service. Catered to all allergies in advance. Sushi rolls were incredible. Cold udon was unique and so satisfying. Beautiful interior. Would highly recommend.

The food and staff were absolutely amazing! We came in late around midnight and we're given excellent service, really want to give the kitchen a shout out for staying late and cooking for us. Bartenders Jack & Mia were also very accommodating as well. We had the peach fuzzin, tea ceremony, and their rosemary cosmo. Want to also shout out the sexy robot cocktail. All drinks were presented well and tasted so good, it's one of my favorite cocktail bars now. The food was 10/10, pretty much ordered the entire menu I have zero critiques. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family. The vibe of this place is so chill and sexy, really admire the entire ambiance. Thank you again Lonely Mouth Team!

The food was delicious but the service was incredibly disappointing. despite making multiple rounds of orders my table of 5 was effectively kicked out of the restaurant. I understand need to manage reservations to the best of their ability to maximize seatings but the way we were dealt with was so off putting. I won't go back. There were multiple solutions the restaurant could have offered to accommodate us but they did not. An overall bad experience and I can't recommend.

The service was awful, which is unfortunate because the food is so good. The servers were rude and when our table was needed for another party, they essentially kicked us out mid meal and drinks.

the ambiance was really nice. the entrance to the restaurant was this giant cool wooden door, which added to the overall vibe of the restaurant. it does run a bit chilly so be prepared for that. there was a wide variety of drinks available from wines to sakes to cocktails. their dinner menu was small and specialized. the portion sizes were very small. each hand roll order was just for one. definitely wouldn't come here if i was very hungry. the service was great; our waiter and the other servers explained the food very well.

Heard it was a new bar in the area and it did not miss! The ambiance was intimate and modern. There were so many options for drinks on the menu, but the Lonely Mouth Sour really hit the mark for me! I will have to come back to try more food on the menu!

Ordered the milk buns, hand rolls and the sashimi. All super tasty. Portion sizes are small though. Ambiance was good but the room runs a bit cold.

You can eat here if you want to spend way too much money on really small portions of sashimi with a side of grit. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. The rolls are also ridiculous, they aren't cut for novelty or trend I'm assuming making the roll really difficult to eat because the nori is chewy and the meat is then not evenly spread out through the roll. The food itself is ok, but I honestly can't remember the last time I ate at a restaurant and felt so disappointed.
