A casual, inconspicuous sushi spot serving up better rolls than much more popular restaurants. I read about Flakes in a local paper. The story is--a man who worked at a ton of high profile Japanese restaurants decided to go into business for himself. I think it was a great choice! The menu is pretty simple, but everything is fresh, with generous portions. And I think they have the best crab rangoons in town! This is an excellent lunch spot if you're downtown!

I got the chicken katsu bowl, great price and great service! The guy working is so kind and the presentation of the dishes are quite nice.Ordering can be done at the tablet in the restaurant or on one of the delivery apps. It was very easy to order in person and you could clearly see what is in stock versus out of stock. Minor complaint that it gets busy during lunch so plan accordingly, about 30 minutes. There was also only one guy working at the time. I would still come again, to try other dishes, and this one, just not if I was in a rush.

Good and Bad.I submitted a takeout order, and they didn't have the fish I ordered available, and they told me as much. I respect a business that does not send something else, as many have. They only got two stars because they didn't offer me any replacements or suggestions.

Great little new place near Main Gate at U of A. The prices are good, friendly service, and yummy food. We stopped by before a show at Centennial Hall and shared an appetizer and a couple of the sushi rolls. And, omg, the dessert -- so delicious! What a treat! 10/10You order at a computer kiosk, which is really easy since it has prices and pictures. It might be card only, not sure.

Love the variety at Flakes. From Poki bowls, salads, apps to sushi rolls, nigiri and sashimi, Flakes is delicious! Order at the counter on a computer and the chef will make your food to order. Location is excellent for u of a students or (like us) visiting a show at Centennial Hall. Very clean and friendly staff!

The food and service were amazing. It's only the owners who are working so service is a bit slow but they are so kind and sweet. They apologized for not speaking English well but even with their broken English, they are patient and communicate well!! I'm a salmon lover and their sushi is so fresh and delicious - no fishy smell/taste at all! Huge portions and they do not skimp on the fish. The menu and ordering tablet needs descriptions for each menu item. The place is new so the interior doesn't have much decoration and is a bit echoey but I imagine it'll improve as they gain popularity. The location is very nice! It's right on campus off of speedway and park - right below the apartments on park. They also offer Bingsu which I have to go back and try. Please give them a try and review them, I don't want such a good authentic place to go out of business :)

Really kind chef making extremely affordable sushi with amazing fish quality in what is probably one of the best locations on campus. Strongly recommend in the nigiri section the "aburi" salmon which is flame-torched and adds a new level of flavor. I'll be a repeat customer. Vegan options//California rolls @ $4... you can't find that anywhere else. Or 3 order nigiri + rainbow roll for $20
