50 Best Sushi Bars in Calgary

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“We came right about as they were going to close after lunch and were seated and served right away.

We got the big catch sashimi special and one of the special rolls and associated tempura.

Every single piece of sashimi was incredible, the roll was amazing and the tempura was cooked perfectly.

Very good quality fish and it was all prepared perfectly. Couple that with excellent presentation and I highly recommend this place.“

“The food here is was fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. We were even lucky enough to have the chef make an appearance tonight with some of the guest during our dinner service to check in on the guest. I honestly can't wait to come back and dine here again on my next visit to town.“

“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!“

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

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

“Wonderful experience here. It’s located inside a bustling market so be prepared for noise but that didn’t detract from the incredible flavours we experienced. The hand rolls had healthy portions of fish and the interaction with the chef was perfect. After 6+ omakase style experiences around the world, this is one that will stick with me for the uniqueness of the hand rolls.“

“This is my third time here, and it never disappoints! I absolutely love their Teriyaki Beef Ramen, and the portion size is incredibly generous. The service is always excellent, and the staff make sure we’re enjoying our food throughout the meal. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to! My workplace is also close here so it’s a plus ❤“

“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!“

“Such a great little hole in the wall! It’s so cute and the food was DELICIOUS! Be warned, the pockets are NOT heated - as long as you know that, it won’t shock your brain and the taste is PHENOMENAL! We tried the Spicy Bulgogi, KChicken, Mango Crab and Mushroom Udon bowl. All were wonderful but the top two were the KChicken and the Spicy Bulgogi (for the pockets). The Mushroom Udon was INCREDIBLE - felt almost comfort food like! 100% would come back! We are from Tennessee in the US and this is our first Canadian food stop. Also the cashier is so sweet!!! Soooo sweet!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Best birthday dinner ever. My first Omakase at Satsuki was exceptional. Chef May May curated a stunning lineup of dishes made with the freshest ingredients from Japan and locally. Each course was explained with such passion, and the sake pairings were perfect.

We spent over 2 hours savoring every bite. We're already excited to go back. Thank you, chef May May, for an unforgettable evening.“

“Lovely staffs and great Food 👏👌“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“One of my favourite hidden gems. The owner is always at the cash and knows hundreds of people’s orders. She’s passionate, quick, and always kind.

Food is freshly made, great quality and amazing price. My go to stop for lunch.“

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

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

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

“Tempura: Crispy Batter, shrimp cooked perfectly.
Sashimi: Fresh and generous cuts
Sushi: Well made. Their Sandoitchi is immaculate.
Ramen: Noodles well cooked. Good body on the broth.
Ambiance: cozy and friendly.“

“I've eaten at this place with many different people over the last 4 years. Loved it everytime. Never been disappointed. And I usually try something new everytime. And the ice cream is perfect at the end. Doesn't take super long for the food to come either. Only problem for me is that it seems overly cold inside of the place everytime I'm there, so I usually keep my hoodie or jacket on while I'm in there.“

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

“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.“

“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!!!!!!!!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“This place has the best sushi in Calgary. The staff are amazing and the food is so good. I would highly recommend it.“

“Fresh Fresh Fresh. Everything we ate delicious. Second time there this month.“

“Very good customer service and tasty food😋❤“

“Best sushi ever had ! When in Calgary visit this place.“

“Stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon after wandering around the river pathway and the sushi boat conveyor concept was honestly such a fun way to eat, just grab whatever floats by. The dragon roll and the seared salmon oshi were both really fresh, and the broth on the miso soup had way more depth than I expected for a casual spot. Staff kept the belt stocked and checked in without being annoying about it, which I appreciate when I'm just trying to relax after a long week. Found street parking easily right out front too, so no stress getting in or out, definitely coming back next time I'm downtown.“

“Nice little Sushi place.
The food was good, nice sized servings. Tasted very fresh and very well made. Miso soup was very good, definitely recommended.
Place was clean, and well maintained, cute atmosphere, lots of windows and light.
Server was very kind and easy to order from. Waited a Lil bit but quality work takes time and I had no where to rush off to.
Deserves the high score, took my daughter for lunch. Definitely will be back for dinner with the rest of the team.“

“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.“

“Really enjoyed our experience here! The food was delicious, the service was great, and everything overall was really good. The only thing I wish they offered was East Coast oysters as part of the oyster deal, instead of only West Coast oysters. Other than that, no complaints at all we had a great experience and would definitely come back!“

“by far my family and mine favourite resturant in chestermere! the staff and owner is amazing !“

“Soji Sushi has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the city. The owner is so kind and genuinely cares about every customer, which makes the whole experience feel warm and personal. 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!“

“We were looking for casual, affordable Japanese food nearby, and felt immediately upon walking in that we'd lucked out, because among the people dining were a couple of tables where people were chatting in Japanese. We each had a delicious meal of chef's selection of sashimi, sushi, and tempura. Really great service. We learned it's family business that's been there since 1983. We recommend the lychee ice cream for dessert!“
