Sukiyaki House, Banff

The city's enormous popularity with Japanese tourists has resulted in a plethora of great sushi restaurants. Sukiyaki House is one of the best and perhaps the most popular. The expansive dining room has stark white walls and bamboo accents, and the bright sushi bar overlooks the hubbub on the Banff Avenue. The sushi here is the major draw, but the menu also features tempura, noodle dishes, soups, rice bowls and cook-it-yourself hot pots. Wash it all down with some Japanese beer or sake.
