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.“

“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.“

“Sushi so good I felt like I was in a beautiful coastal town and not landlocked Alberta. I wish I could attach photos to my review but it was too delicious I couldn’t even pause to take a photo. Incredible dollar per value and a cute and cozy atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Great sushi & sashimi. Very fresh & flavorful. They had some more unique offerings available then most other places I been to in town. Can really taste the quality & freshness in the fish.

Def tempted to come back & try the Omakase sometime. With the chefs here I feel like it'd be a exquisite experience.

Very friendly & knowledgeable servers as well as it was my first time here & I inquired about alot of items in their menu.“

“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.“

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

“This place is a hidden gem. Many Japanese restaurants struggle to cook rice properly, but this one is different: their rice is always perfect. The sashimi is consistently fresh and reasonably priced. I’ve tried their sashimi and sushi combo more than seven times, and I keep coming back. Highly recommended!“

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

“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)!“

“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.“

“Great place for sushi, delicious and didn’t wait to eat. Plenty of options to choose from and the price is reasonable. Parking is a little limited but that’s normal for downtown Calgary. We’d come back again and we will be back!!! Thanks“

“From the presentation, service, and quality of food, Big Catch is a 10/10! The staff were very attentive and kind, the seafood was fresh, menu is unique, and the aesthetic of the restaurant was pleasant. Thank you for the memorable experience!“

“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!“

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

“Excellent service from start to finish. The servers and manager were attentive, offered great recommendations, and made sure we had everything we needed. They went the extra mile to celebrate my dad’s birthday, which made the night feel special. Highly recommend.“

“Lovely staffs and great Food 👏👌“

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

“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“

“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!“

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

“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 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.“

“They finally reopened last week at their new location, I was dying having to eat mediocre sushi in Chinatown, but now, no more! Always fresh, big pieces and prices are reasonable. Not the cheapest but the quality you get surpasses any of the cheaper places.“

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

“Loved my experience here!
Was super intrigued about the Sushi Pockets & they did not disappoint!
I got the Spicy Salmon, California, Spicy Beef & the monthly special Butter Chicken. All tasted amazing, great price & very filling! Will definitely be back to try other items!“

“Went to Koto Sushi during YYC Experience 2026 and it was easily our favorite. The $50 set was generous with no cut in quality and everything was fresh, well-made, and delicious.

We also did the $1 oyster promo and had a few dozens. It was super fresh and totally worth it.

This is not a luxury or gimmicky spot, but that’s the beauty of it, great taste, solid portions, and excellent value without the high-end price tag.

Service was amazing and Miwa the manager was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Without a doubt, this was the highlight of all the restaurants we tried during the YYC Experience for the value. We truly hope they consider opening on Saturdays in the future. Thank you Koto team!“

“As a person who doesn’t like to talk to people, this restaurant was beyond my expectations. Good food, in my own little bubble, with an amazing menu to select from. I would highly recommend it for anyone coming to Calgary. Not to mention, the prices are phenomenal. I can eat so much food but pay a third of what I would have paid at any other restaurant.“

“This is ‘my’ sushi place ! The food is perfection the agedashi tofu is divine &their tuna sushi is so soft I have eaten other menu items and i have brought many a friend here and its fabulous great food and the people are lively they are also gluten aware for those that are which is fabulous“

“Hands down my fav place for sushi for everyone one of the 15 years I have lived here!“

“I’ve been to many AYCE sushi places, but this one stands out for the freshness of the fish. Often, 'all you can eat' means lower quality, but the salmon sashimi here tasted incredibly fresh. I highly recommend the salmon nigiri and the fusion roll. The rice-to-fish ratio was perfect—not too much filler rice. The service was prompt, and the ordering system via ipad made it very easy to keep the food coming. Will definitely be back!“

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

“Excellent experience both times we came. Impeccable service that was welcoming and kind. They offered us hot towels and a container to put my bag. The menu is slick and not over complicated. The food quality is unmatched. The fish is so fresh and buttery. The rice is done uniquely with a fluffy texture in each roll. Their grilled squid dish is so flavorful and tender. This is a pricey experience, but it lives up to the quality of the fish and delicate preparation of each item. This is one of the few locations in Calgary where you can get Hamachi or Yellowtail. The only item lacking was the matcha experience; the grilled match mochis were a tad underwhelming, but not enough to deduct any points. Highly recommend this resturant for a high quality, fancier eating experience.“

“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!“

“As always, Shibuya always delivers the best freshest sashimi and sushi. We’ve been coming for well over a decade. The owner is absolutely lovely and treats us very well. I do miss the bluefin toro! I hope the bring it in some day! I’m sure glad the restaurant is back! Thank you!!“

“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.“

“Super fresh, soft melt in your mouth sashimi! 🤤🤤 Onion flower roll was fire 🔥 yam roll was so good and fat! Really good portions for everything, sashimi as well! Seaweed salad and takoyaki were all so good. Fast extremely lovely and in tune service also. Filled up waters quickly and precisely removing dishes as promptly as needed also. Also offered to refill our green tea which was extremely yummy. 10/10 would go again“

“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!!!!!!!!!!“

“We have celebrated several birthdays with our family at Fuji Ramen. Maria is a wonderful host. She always makes us feel welcome and is very attentive, every time we have been there. The Ramen is perfectly cooked and the broth is very flavorful. I have tried the chashu Ramen, the red tonkatsu ramen and many specials in the past. The seating is good and we will be celebrating many more occasions there.“

“We have always been satisfied with the food and service . Always consistent, always fresh and it's like family that we get to know people for years staying with this awesome company . On a side note . Kudos to Andre , Renze and Peter ( I haven't seen you in ages ) See you soon guys“

“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!“

“We love the boxed lunches. Lots of delicious food for an incredibly good price.“

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

“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.“

“Amazing food at great prices“

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

“hands down one of the best sushi places in yyc, the teriyaki chicken was phenomenal. the sushi portions were huge. the flavour was

the city and will likely come up
here just for this place.“
