Uccellino is moving to the Citizen building next to Va Caffe and rebranded to Olia with similar menu and concept. Current location closes September 17 and they're going to be doing a new concept in the current location in 2025.

I wish them all possible luck. Is my read correct that they're exclusively fixed menu concept? I hope they will get sufficient demand for that sushi niche the market.

Omakase isn't really 'sushi' or 'fixed', but rather 'of the day' or 'you decide'.

But yes, it will be interesting to see the response to it. The JW crowd will love it, but can it become the destination it will need to be?

Calling all ramen lovers! JINYA Ramen Bar is opening its first Edmonton location at 10037 109 Street. If you're not familiar with the brand, JINYA's Calgary and Vancouver restaurants are famous for their slow-cooked approach, with delicious broths simmering for over 20 hours before they hit your bowl.

What app do you use to look at restaurant ratings? Is Trip Advisor the most well used one is this market?

Oh trust me, omakase is my go-to, whenever possible and particularly when I travel. Not a cheap way to enjoy sushi, but it's far more pleasant than commodity sushi, or the emerging Canadian way of slathering rolls etc. with flavoured mayonnaise.
