The Sushi Factory

NOTE: Eat here at your own risk. I work for a Japanese company and have eaten sushi all over the world and with no hesitation this is the worst sushi I have ever come across. When you see the sushi chef smell the fish you no it’s going to be trouble. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Another visit and a new favourite — Monkey Brains!
Okay, once you get past the name, you’ll love it. Avocado and crab, lightly coated in tempera and fried — sooooo good. If you like avocado at all, you’ll be happy with this one!

Once again, The Sushi Factory did not disappoint. Out of every sushi restaurant that I’ve tried, this one is my favorite, by a country mile. Segue into The Sushi Factory being based out of Leduc, Alberta. (country mile… get it? :))
Today, we tried a couple of new items. One was called Monkey Brain. It was a quartered avocado with crabmeat, lightly deep fried in tempura and drizzled with a sweet BBQ sauce. It was out of this world!
The other was called the Angry Bride roll. It was a dynamite roll topped with tempura crumbs and cooked baby scallops in a cream sauce. It was also a very unique roll and had excellent flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed it and this is coming from someone who is not much of a scallop fan. We also tried a vegan roll wrapped with soybean paper as opposed to seaweed. If you can get past the light pink color, it was good and easier to chew than seaweed.
We also went back to the old faithfuls of spicy tuna, spicy salmon and spicy California roll in a combo plate. The tempura udon soup is also a favorite of mine, along with the teriyaki beef for the kids and the Sushi Factory’s lovely miso soup.
The staff is always friendly and courteous and will always cater to the customers’ needs.
If you are ever craving a high quality Japanese meal, I urge you brave the elements and the drive out to Leduc to visit The Sushi Factory. You won’t regret it!

me and my husband just moved to Leduc and I think we have found our new sushi spot! we got takeout and it was delish! very fresh and tastey! will definitely be back for more!

Sushi in rural Alberta? They have nailed it went in and we were pleasantly surprised. Friendly staff, clean restaurant and great price. We will be back and I recommend this place to anyone looking for a sushi fix.

I really should have taken pictures of my food. I didn’t think of it until I was mostly done my food.
I came here because I was meeting a friend, and we had an appointment 2 doors down. Plus we had talked about going for sushi somewhere anyways, so this worked out.
I ordered the veggie tempura, and the spider roll. The veggie tempura came out, and there was a lot of food there!!! Two broccoli, 3 – 4 squash, 2 – 3 sweet potato, 2 – 3 zucchini, and 3 – 4 asparagus. Like I said, it was a lot. Then out came my spider roll. Soft shell crab at it’s finest! I found that the rolls were cut thinly so they fell apart quickly, but I wasn’t worried about it. The friend I was with didn’t mind that I was a messy eater (at this point in time). She also shared with me her Boston roll. I believe it was spicy crab, avocado, some sort of sauce and salmon on top. Plus tobiko, the little orange eggs. I could be wrong.
I couldn’t finish the tempura, but it was hot and crispy, and the spider roll was definitely on point.
For the amount of food I got, the prices were really good as well.
The service was prompt, and they made sure we were well taken care of.
The décor inside was clean, with lots of wood. Nothing too extravagant or overwhelming. I was told it was formerly a liquor store, and honestly, I never would have known that.
I will more than likely come back here, as I found that it was great.

The sashimi is great but something that really bugs me about their rolls is that rice is always warm. The first time I visited I thought it was just that one time because they had to cook more rice but actually I’ve visited the restaurant about 4 times and each time the rolls come out with warm rice. I don’t order any rolls anymore from here and I now only buy sashimi.

My husband and I stopped here on Monday night. It was busy and there was one sushi chef. I ordered sashimi – my usual After several minutes, a platter arrived with a specialty roll. Our server explained that the sushi chef was busy and had sent this, as an apology, for the wait. I never felt like I had waited and was not at all frustrated with their service. But, I must say, the sushi rice was minimal and exceptional. It never fell apart like so many do – I loved it. All I can say — after a horrible experience at Joey’s Seafood in Hinton (they just don’t care) is that their customer service and food made my day. The sashimi was exceptional

Best sushi you can expect in Leduc! Or really… anywhere!
A week before I ate here I was fortunate to be in Vancouver and had gone on a ‘sushi safari’ to a few spots… and so when my wife suggested we go here I was skeptical. how is it EVER going to compare to the ‘right off the boat’ sushi I had just gorged on so recently?
Well… it did NOT disappoint! We ordered over $ 100 in food for the two of us (we covered the large table and had to stack a few dishes!) and started to plow into it. I recall the tempura was terrific, all of the combo rolls were great, and my wife who is a die-​hard «california rolls only» kind of gal was enjoying everything too! The only thing I really wasn’t amazed by was the tataki… it was good, just not quite ‘there’ for me.
Cannot wait to go back again… writing this review has made me hungry…
Oh… one small thing: Bring a large, thick coat even if it’s the middle of summer. Their seats are VERY hard and you’ll appreciate sitting on some padding because you’ll be there eating for a while!

Excellent and pretty reasonably priced. Unagi «…l…gotta write something… huuiiii…

Eaten here twice now and love the food. Hot and fresh. Comfortable atmosphere and friendly service. Great sushi place. Will keep coming back: D

«Stripe Mall Sushi» who know it would be that good. I laughed about opening a sushi restaurant at this location but these people know what there doing. I have been very pleased with food, service and atmosphere. :)

Tempura was way over battered. The coconut shrimp was beyond over cooked and served with straight old fashion usa mustard (yuck) sushi Caterpillar was satisfactory for grocery store sushi not restaurant quality
Service was good. And only winning factor in the sushi factor.

Based on Unilocal reviews, I decided to give The Sushi Factory a go. Arrived about 6:40 pm to find the place nearly deserted. Upon entering I was greeted by a Hello from somewhere. A sniper greeting, but a greeting anyway. Funny, how that throws one off. I mumbled «hi» to the generally empty dining room.
A server then glanced out of a booth area at me and then promptly went back to whatever she was doing. She then reappeared saying «Sit there,» waving at the previously referenced empty seating area. All this for obeying the «Please Wait to Be Seated» sign.
Anyway, after I was directed to a 4 place booth several couples and a group entered. I felt a little conspicuous as others looked at me and coveted the booth. Regardless, I decided more diners arriving was encouraging.
The main menu had the typical variety of tempura, sushi and rolls. More interesting werre the robata selections. I was also presented with an appetizer menu and a bento menu. I opted for the sashimi bento as my main but ordered a robata asparagus wrapped in bacon as an appie. I am not certain the server understood me but she got my Sapporo beer quickly enough. Miso soup arrived — excellent. An interesting dish with vermicelli noodle and shrimp arrived — no idea what it was — awesome! Then… bento box? Ok. Suspicion confirmed. Order messed up. Nonetheless, meal looked awesome so I chop sticked up and dug in. Absolutely terrific! Then my asparagus appie arrived. Again, awesome taste! Bacon and teriyaki — wow!
I mildly complained about how an appie should arrive before main. Server was having none of it, obviously confident enough about the food that it didn’t matter what order it arrived in. And, like any team player, promptly blamed the chefs. Makes sense, as she stated there were only 3 on shift. Silly me!
Well, I finished up completely full. Paid up and was gone in 45 min.
Definitely recommend this spot. The best thing I observed was the chef teaching his apprentice the art of roll making. Looked like they were having fun! I will have to return to try the robata.

We ate dinner last Saturday. Food is not that good like Mikado Restaurant in South common.
Server is lacked of experience, Served our food without Cutleries or Chopstick???
Restaurant is Dirty, Tables are not Clean, Floors.
And It’s too bright inside needs dim lights specially Dinner Time.

Wow! Unilocalers you did NOT let me down! I must admit, I was a bit skeptical when my hubby’s 94 year old Grandmother suggested we try a new Sushi place in Leduc! I quickly checked the Unilocal app on my phone and was BLOWN away at the reviews and rating of this place. When I saw that Elite Unilocaler, Alouise D., gave it 5 stars — I said, count me in!
We came in a party of 5 to celebrate my husband’s birthday complete with two kiddos under 6 in tow.
We ordered SO many things I cannot possibly remember them all but I’ll do my best:
Gyoza’s (pork) $ 7.50 — decent but nothing exciting and I wouldn’t order again
Spring Rolls (pork) $ 6.95 — delicious as expected
Ika Karaage (calamari) $ 8.95 — disappointing, don’t bother ordering this. Bland, boring, nothing to write home about and small pieces with lots of breading — ring shaped.
Spicy Agedashi Tofu ($ 6.50) — DELICIOUS but could totally be spicier :-) I used the left over sauce to dip my tempura in later.
Seaweed Salad (as an option with our bento) — Wanted to love this but didn’t :-(
Seafood Sunomo (Japanese vermicelli noodle salad) — Also didn’t care for this but this could just be my personal taste preference.
Miso Soup (with bento box) — Excellent. Chitlins are accustomed to Miso but lapped this up so fast, we had to order more!
Tempura Udon (Japanese noodle soup) $ 12.95 — Worth every penny! Delicious and great broth, though they didn’t bring the spicy seasoning with it I am accustomed to at most places. Large order and plenty to share or great for a meal on it’s own.
Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box $ 18.75 — rice, salad choice, 8 pcs California roll, 4 pcs tempura, and miso soup. Good value and good quality but the chicken was not a hit with our group in comparison to the beef.
Beef Teriyaki $ 18.95 — Same as above except the chitlins gobbled up the beef so fast that I was lucky to try one morsel! This was a hit and next time we will be ordering wto Beef Teriyaki Bento Boxes or Teriyaki Beef Rice Bowls for sure!
We ordered 3 additional sushi (maki) rolls to share but I cannot remember the names.
1 was a salmon with mango and an apple sauce purée — sounded sooo good but didn’t live up to the hype.
1 was the deep fried dynamite roll with a honey mustard and bbq sauce drizzle — this was a huge hit with my husband but I did not care for the honey mustard drizzle at all so I took one bite and passed on the rest.
The other was a spicy double fried shrimp of some sort and I loved that one.
Next time, I’d stick with more traditional rolls but we went out of our comfort zone and picked things I thought my husband would like
For dessert, I wished they offered some traditional fare but they only had items like chocolate cake, cheesecake, and tiramisu. WEIRD if you ask me but my daughter had her heart set on a dessert for Daddy’s birthday so she had the chocolate fudge cake and loved it. Not me, but that’s okay. I’m perfectly happy with a savory meal sans dessert.
There was soooooooooo much food that we literally took home 3 take out boxes and the bill with tips was incredibly affordable. The same fare would have been an easy $ 40-​$ 50 more at comparable reastaurants in Edmonton.
My kids loved watching the staff prepare our orders at the sushi bar and the staff could not have been friendlier! Plenty of seating with table and booth options.
I cannot wait to come back with the fam jam!
Hats off to The Sushi Factory in Leduc — I hope you stay busy!
PS — Mark K. uploaded pics of everything we ate!

I’m not a sushi fan. I’m just not. That being said, my friends and I have gone top The Sushi Factory for lunch a few times and the Bento box, with its California Rolls, haven’t failed me yet! The box comes with miso soup, a teriyaki, 4 pieces of tempura, a salad, and 4 pieces of California Roll. Everything is fresh, tasty and as it should be. We’ll be going again!

Delicious, fresh, excellent quality sushi. Seriously, the best (and I am very picky) great taste and presentation. Pricing is on point and the menu has an abundance of dishes.

Yes a 5 star sushi place in Leduc.
Is this the best sushi restaurant in the world? Not sure about that, because I haven’t been to every sushi restaurant in the world. For being located in a small city, in the middle of landlocked Alberta is it the best I’ve been to? Yes, yes it is.
The restaurant is in a strip mall, and is pretty new — I think it might be open about a month. It’s sandwiched in between a snowboard shop and a spa. Weird, right? Well get over that because the restaurant is really nice, dark wooden benches, black chairs, very modern. And the food is good. There’s about 9 pages on the menu, and that didn’t include the special dinner bento box handout or the drinks.
Being a sushi place there is sushi, and you have your standard rolls. If you want to ease into things with a California roll or an avocado roll they’ve got that, but there’s also some crazy specialty rolls like the caterpillar roll that I had, which has crab meat, avocado, cucumber & bbq eel topped with avocado, tobiko & bbq sauce drizzle. There’s nigiri (ala cart sushi), sashimi, sushi cones, bento boxes, udon soup, yaki soba, teriyaki, rice bowls, and they have robata, which is Japanese BBQ. My friends got the bacon wrapped scallops from the robata meun and were very impressed by them. They were huge and apparently delicious. I got the takoyaki which is a deep fried batter of octopus. It’s crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside and delicious combination of salty and sweet.
The prices are more than you’re gonna pay for fast food sushi, but it’s not as pricey as it could be. My meal was about $ 20 with tip and I left full. The quality of the food is quite good, and the service was nice, quick (but not suspiciously so) and friendly. My party agreed our one complaint would be that our food came out spaced really weird. I got my sushi about 5 minutes before my friends, and their scallops took a few minutes. A bit of a pain, but not enough to affect my opinion of the restaurant severely. I’m sure with time and practice the timing of sending out dishes will improve.
Sometimes new, and more international (aka not a burger place) restaurants have a hard time surviving in a small city market like Leduc, but The Sushi Factory was a pretty bustling place for a cold, snowy night in November. It’s definitely a restaurant I’ll come back and visit again.

Nice atmosphere, great service and awesome size portions excellent fresh fresh sushi and enough choices for the non sushi eaters
