50 Best Sushi Bars in Calgary

“Great staff, great decor, and amazing food! Always love to come here with my wife and family. This is a great place for parties or a date night and their sister restaurant Ajito is very trendy.“

“Great little sushi spot! It feels fancy but the prices are very reasonable. The plating was beautiful and the food was excellent. Our server even gave us recommendations on what to order next time based on our order! Definitely will be coming again“

“We came to celebrate a birthday and were not disappointed! From the second we sat down, our server Stephanie was kind, attentive, and informative…our chef Alvin was engaging, fun, and entertaining! Both of these staff members made it truly an unforgettable visit…they both went above and beyond, and interacted with our children throughout the entire meal and made it an incredible experience for our entire family. This is definitely more than just a restaurant - it is absolutely an experience and we would recommend 100% (especially for kids - they won’t stop talking about how much fun they had)!“

“Food was excellent. Love how they served the sashimi on top of ice cubes to keep the fish cold. The mango rolls was a delight and different from other Japanese restaurants as it was filled with small mango pieces inside the rolls. Yummy! The service was great, and the staff was super friendly.“

“The amount of food that you get for your dollar value is absolutely stunning! What i thought would cost us about $75 only came to $55, and i was absolutely stuffed afterwards (im not a person who is easily filled). The flavours were very nice, having a fresh taste to all the ingredients, and unique pairings such as pickled radish in sushi. One note that i will make is that the chicken in their ramen was very bland, almost like it was just boiled, however the pork was out of this world delicious!“

“Truly spectacular food, chill environment and attentive staff.

It was my first time trying crab, and I’m glad it was in this place. The tuna and salmon were really flavorful, you can just taste the freshness. I did regret not ordering the tempura udon because it sounded great, that gives me an excuse to come back though, so it wasn’t a total loss.

That being said, the establishment makes it perfectly clear that due to its small space, you do need a reservation. Luckily, we did make one, but knowing me I would’ve just barged in and things could’ve gone side ways.“

“Food was fabulous. Nigiri Sushi Dinner was top notch. Everything from apppitizers to dinner was great.“

“I almost don’t want to write this review because I’m scared it will become even harder to get a reservation but credit absolutely needs to be given to Zushi Calgary.
Hidden inside Avenida Market in south Calgary, this tiny 4-seat omakase experience feels like stepping into a cozy Tokyo Tsukiji Market. We were lucky enough to book the Omakase experience for 4 adults, and every moment was unforgettable.
If you are looking for a luxury fine dining room with fancy decor and white tablecloths, this is probably not it and that is exactly why we loved it so much. It feels authentic, like sitting inside a hidden fish market sushi spot in Tokyo 築地 where the entire focus is on the chef, the fish, and the experience itself.

The chef carefully prepared and plated each piece of sushi like a work of art. Not only was everything visually stunning, but the umami flavors were absolutely mouthwatering .Every bite felt like a masterpiece. This experience left us so happy and satisfied, and we even ordered extra scallops and salmon because they were just that incredible.

What surprised us even more was how reasonable the pricing was for this intimate omakase experience. Every single plate was thoughtfully crafted, and you can truly feel the passion and care behind the experience.

We left with full stomachs, huge smiles, and immediately booked our next omakase for next month already.“

“I'm in love with the with their pizza sushi.“

“We tried this place for the first time on Saturday and had the best experience. The staff/owners were so friendly and the service was great. The food was amazing. We tried the house special roll and it is now my husband's favourite dish. We will definitely be going back. Thank you for a great meal!“

“Delicious Japanese food in Calgary with actual Japanese people working here.
We had the sashimi platter with otoro from Tsukiji market in Tokyo, kyushu style chicken nanban, the oshi sushi, and panacotta for dessert. Everything was incredibly tasty and thoughtfully prepared. Highly recommended and we will be coming back 👌“

“I heard about this place from coworkers. I finally tried it last Friday. I had chicken katsu bowl and mixed tempura. The bowl was filling, delicious and value for money. The mixed tempura ...... I will not order again. Overall, I will go back for sure.“

“I absolutely love this place!! My family and I visit this place everytime we visit Calgary and everytime we visit it’s so so good. This time I came with my friends and they all loved it! The portions are great, price is great and every menu item is a hit 👌👌 This is a must try and even if youre new to inari sushi, if you like sushi you’ll love this place for sure. Highly recommend!!“

“It’s really wonderful food. Amazing like a live in & testing Tokyo Japan. Hana Sushi’s restaurant“

“Super sweet place. Sushi is solid. We get take out and dine in. The staff is so kind. Our children love picking out a complimentary candy at the end of the meal. Really hope the locals support this place so that it sticks around! Great neighbourhood sushi joint!“

“Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere and food! The design of the restaurant got great vibes. Plates are beautiful, futomaki was yummy (close to be authentic Japanese futomaki)! Black sesame tiramisu was yummy too. I am now wanting to dine at Omakase the next.“

“I went with my two very young daughters for lunch and we all shared an absolutely delicious bowl of traditional ramen on a slow weekday afternoon. The server was lovely and brought child friendly dishes for the girls. (they also enthusiastically slurped soup noodles and loved the soup too).

Also kudos on a happily accessible restaurant and ladies washroom where things like the mirror and sink and dryer were at a height someone in a wheelchair could actually use(I can't speak for the men's).“

“Amazing, simple menu but some of the best Japanese I've had in the city <3. the staff is so friendly and kind as well.“

“Sushi AOI

I started with the miso soup and it was the most flavourful iteration of that dish I think I’ve had in Calgary. Perfectly seasoned. I liked that the bowl came with a lid so it stayed hot. 10/10
Next, the seaweed salad. Solid. 8/10
The edamame rolled in at a 6/10. Nothing wrong with it but I like when they use maldon salt instead of table salt. It was acceptably okay.
Then, I ordered three types of tuna nigiri to compare:
1. Tuna- this was buttery and fell apart in my mouth 8/10
2. Red Tuna- had a way more distinct flavour to it. Less buttery, more structure. A little fishy, in a good way. 8.5/10
3. Toro (tuna belly)- less flavourful and very obviously the fattiest part of the fish. I think this was the most expensive but it was my least favourite. 6/10
The only roll I got was the salmon avocado roll and it’s maybe the best salmon sushi I’ve ever had. The salmon tasted so fresh and there was a really generous portion of it. Same with the avocado. This was perfectly dreamy. I’ll come back just for this.

Service was sweet and efficient. The interior was cool and quiet. Even the nigiri I didn’t like as much was due to my palate, not a reflection of the quality of the food here.“

“first time eating here with a diverse group with limited Japanese food experience. mind blown!! beautiful atmosphere, staff were amazing made the 2 birthdays in our group very special. The food was beautifully prepared and tasted amazing! one in our group is a meat and potato's guy but is now a sushi lover! expecting a huge bill at the end of the night but was shocked at how very reasonable the price was for a total of 7 people. Definitely will be back a new favorite restaurant.“

“Great little place and atmosphere, my boys live picking their food off the floating boats. Kaylee is amazing, her energy, her kindness and love of the place really shows, always makes the experience unforgettable. Recently went for my sons 10th birthday dinner and he felt so special“

“It’s really wonderful food. Amazing like a live in & testing Tokyo Japan. Hana Sushi’s restaurant“

“My go to restaurant!! Food is consistently great!“

“This evening we arrived about an hour before closing and the restaurant was still packed! We sat at the bar and had the best seats. We each ordered the Black Fuji Tonkotsu Ramen. It is heaven in your mouth! I can’t wait to try their other menu items. We also got to talk with owner/operator Maria and she shared a bit of the history and how they opened. I’m honestly stuffed and I wish could eat more. We’ll be back! Thank you for making our night 😊“

“Fusion Sushi is a warm and welcoming place, it’s busy but the staff are friendly and very accommodating. The green tea matcha ice cream blows my mind and is a must try.“

“Food was outstanding. Fresh, tasty, great variety. Will definitely return soon.“

“I was shocked by the good quality of the poke bowl of Netsui Sushi! The vegetables are very fresh and delicious and the style of the poke looks artistic ! I really enjoyed it. Also the price of the food is very good to compare to the other Japanese restaurants. I would like to be back by the next trip.“

“I just want to thank Kinjo for their exceptional service! We had a little mix app with our order tonight and the management/staff went above and beyond to help! I'm truly grateful, what they didn't know is that it was my 9 year old son's special treat for doing so well in school which he was looking forward to all week so they just made his day (and mine)! Not to mention how amazing the food is and the Almond Pocky's which we are now obsessed with!!!! Thank you so much, I can't wait for more sushi! :) Your loyal customer, Jackie“

“The whole family really enjoyed the ambiance of the place.“

“Lovely staffs and great Food 👏👌“

“The staff here are the best and always as accommodating as much as they can. Tonight we arrived 40 minutes before closing and last call for food was at 8:30pm, and even though it was close to closing time, our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Absolutely recommend to everyone who can come MUCH BEFORE 17 minutes to closing. 👀“

“Sushi Kimu is now one of my favorite go-to spots for sushi. The food, service, and atmosphere are just as amazing. The staff were very friendly and attentive, the service is quick, and the pricing is very reasonable for the quality you get. Most importantly, the sushi is consistently fresh, authentic, and absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend Sushi Kimu to anyone looking for a top-quality Japanese dining experience. It’s without a doubt one of the best sushi restaurants in Calgary!“

“Unique Sushi Bar, with your orders all done on tablet menu on the table with your menu selections delivered to on a train right at your table. The sushi itself was premium quality, prepared and presented perfectly. We tried several different menu choices, but the sashimi and cowboy rolls were the best. Considering Calgary is at least 1000 kms from the nearest ocean, choose wisely where you go to dine on sushi here. Point Sushi is a good choice, and would go back any time.“

“Amazing food at great prices“

“This is great sushi and the staff/owners are great.“

“THIS is the best spot in Bow Valley Square. The poké bowls are customizable and absolutely delicious. Even better is the customer service - the woman who runs it is amazing and the staff are fast and make the food perfectly every time. It's my go-to for lunch.“

“Really great to go sushi.
Hidden gem!!!

When looking for some great sushi for lunch while you’re working downtown, this is the spot.
Very fresh, lots of options, and the loveliest people behind the counter.
I’m disappointed I didn’t find this place sooner will definitely be my go to sushi spot while at work“

“Amazing family owned restaurant. The service here is phenomenal and so personable. The food I'd delicious and always prepared so well. This has become a favorite of mine recently. Highly recommend.“

“Takeout only. Sushi incredibly fresh and tasty. Service excellent. Male cashier professional friendly accommodating. Perfect spot to grab a bite and head to picnic tables at the park on Patterson Blvd when warm weather. Three gluten free choices of sushi.“

“Used to eat here once a week when I lived in Calgary. Now that I have moved away I go here every time I visit calgary!!! Please, Please, Please open a restaurant in Edmonton!!!!!!!!!!“

“Great value. I always order the Salmon Lovers combo for pickup. It comes with rolls, sashimi, nigiri, miso soup and a salad which is the perfect amount of food for one person. The Salmon is always fresh, my only complaint and reason for the 4 stars is that the seaweed in the rolls has always been chewy and gummy which districts from the flavour of the rolls. Would also love to see an option to choose different rolls. Overall, you can't beat the price for what your getting just hope to see an increase in quality on the rolls.“

“Review by Alex

Absolutely amazing sushi and sashimi! Everything was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. The smoked fish prepared under the smoke was especially impressive — such a unique and delicious experience.

The service was outstanding as well. Everyone was incredibly polite, attentive, and genuinely focused on making sure the customer had a great experience.

Beautiful presentation, excellent food, and exceptional service. Highly recommended! 🍣👏“

The sushi is always fresh, flavorful, and prepared with great attention to detail. I love that it’s also convenient for grabbing something quick without sacrificing quality. it’s perfect for lunch on the go or an easy dinner. The consistency, freshness, and the welcoming atmosphere keep me coming back again and again. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for great sushi with amazing service!“
