I come here every few weeks since the summer. I’ve always enjoyed it and given 5 stars. It’s a very nice and unique place with amazing customer service. The last couple of times have been so loud that I have to request to sit side by side with my friends. Once a few weeks ago, the waitress did turn the volume down and we really appreciated it. Unfortunately, last night, was a difficult. First, the heater blasted in my face. When I asked for it to be turned down, the waitress was reluctant and said she would try. I was grateful that it was turned down but I was not comfortable that I was told if she couldn’t get it turned down, there was nothing she could do. Because of course there would be. She could move us to a different table, right? But also when a restaurant is crowded, no one complains it is too cold so why would this be a problem to begin with? As anticipated, the music was so loud, my friend had to ask our waiter to turn the volume down even sitting side by side. This was her very first time at Lonely Mouth. She was looking forward to it. However, after a couple of requests, we had to leave without finishing our food. It took us so long to order and eat because we were busy shouting at each other and putting our ears to each others mouths to hear. I haven’t seen my friend for two years. So we left in a hurry and sat on her car for 2 hours just talking and catching up without food, or ambience. I must say, that was a unique and unexpected negative experience. There are restaurants that I have stopped coming to for 1-2 years due to noise and wait staff being reluctant to make our experience special. I write reviews and they don’t change. I even request for a booth seat so we can sit side by side to hear better. I’m sure it doesn’t matter to a restaurant when someone complains about noise. But please know that at least a dozen of my friends do not wish to return to Lonely Mouth due to noise. Conversations are important.

Always exceptional! I love the ambiance of this restaurant. It feels like I am actually in Japan. The food is perfect every time, especially the tartare. The drinks never disappoint either. Thank you for being part of the Calgary restaurant scene.

I was excited to return back to their happy hour. A little awkward though, after we placed or order, a lady came up to us and said “I noticed you haven’t placed your order and just wanted to mention that the reservation would be cut early at 6pm so you will want to place your order soon” and then we said we weren’t told about the shorten time we are expected to leave by but also already placed our order and then she got a little embarrassed and left. At 6pm we were asked by another lady if we wanted dessert but we said we actually didn’t have time to eat dessert because we were told to leave the reservation by 6pm. She said she would go check and then later came back with the bills 615 and came with the machine to pay around 620 and we left at 630pm. It seemed like the leaving early and urgency to order wasn’t necessary but we ended up staying late waiting for them and they no longer pushed us out but also there were other empty tables to choose from so it may have been a mistake or something

The food was outstanding and drinks were amazing! Kitchen is super quick and the entire atmosphere is so comforting. The hand rolls are to die for and so easy to eat. The level of communication and presence at the table was poor. I would have loved to order much more from Quinn, however, we sat waiting for too long during our seating to enjoy more. I would have loved to address this in person, our table truly just was not touched many times during service by anyone at all. Everything else was outstanding!

Was a great late night out. $10 cocktails after 9pm is the perfect way to end a day. Tried basically every hand roll on the menu and loved all of them. Quinn was lovely and very attentive, without being intrusive. Will return again for daytime happy hour in the future.

Yummy food and great vibes! Staff was all lovely! I do wish there were more mocktail options. But the lime soda was delicous!
