In a town where pride in restaurant service is almost non-existent, this is refreshing The friendly staff ( Trish is outstanding) is the reason this is the 1 restaurant I look forward to coming back to, when I'm in town

Yamagoya is always a pleasant experience, but the food is average. There are fresher and tastier options, but not in Fernie. Perhaps a bit more fish in the 'rolls' would be good....

We also were in Fernie in the shoulder season and wanted something within walking distance of the Red Tree Lodge where we stayed. Yamagoya was recommeded and we were not dissapointed.

Was not too excited about a sushi/ Japanese restaurant in a far from the ocean mountain town. But, being the "shoulder season", most of our other choices were closed. Which,as it ends up, was fortuitous. This is a gem of a restaurant with some very good & fresh food!! We actually went mostly with sashimi and were NOT disappointed. Plus,... More

I love every single thing that's I've tried here. I also love that the staff are friendly, efficient, and casual, they make you feel really comfortable.

We had read about this restaurant in an article on Ski magazine, then heard all about it in town. All I can think about is that this place is the only Japanese in Fernie, and thus, there is not much competition or comparison. But that it is "the best Japanese restaurant in Calgary" seems a bit of a stretch, or... More

Great little sushi restaurant across the street from the hotel. Prices were surprisingly affordable, service good and the Lobster Roll was delicious. Small place so make a reservation if going on a weekend.
