Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Calgary

"One of the busiest sushi spots in the city is Sushi Bar Zipang, where reservations are must almost every day of the week. If you do manage to score a table, however, this place is home to some of the freshest sushi available. Plenty of authentic options are on offer and the attentive staff are more than happy to advise on menu choices, or make substitutions for those with special dietary requirements."

"Opened since 2004, Sushi Bar Zipang offers an extensive selection of sushi and sashimi with fish from Japan, East Coast and West Coast Canada, and Mexico. Owner Chef Naoya Umino learned from Chef Hiro Hyakutake of Sushi Hiro."

Sushi is another delicacy that the best seafood restaurant in Calgary should have. If you’re specifically craving sushi, Big Catch Sushi Bar has you covered."

"I started eating at Big Catch years ago when they were still in the market. I was so pleased when the brothers moved to their current location."

"Kinjo was by far the most popular response for the best sit down restaurant for kids and it’s easy to see why. Although Sushi is their specialty, they have lots of options for kids (and adults) that are fish free too. They make an extra effort that keeps families coming back including kids chopsticks and pocky sticks at the end of your meal.See our review of Kinjo here."

"According to Kinjo’s owner Peter Kinjo, Kinjo’s goal is to be the ‘McDonald’s of sushi restaurants’. Kinjo Sushi & Grill is a casual, child-friendly Calgary sushi restaurant is known for its speedy service and very relaxed attitude. They will even sing you a song on your birthday, and every woman and child who eats at Kinjo gets a free box of Pocky Sticks to take home."

"No one does it better than Kinjo when it comes to chain sushi restaurants. With four locations around the city, its popularity is testament to its success as one of the best Calgary sushi restaurants there is. Kinjo is known for its affordable prices and large menu that gives customers a great selection of not just sushi, but other Japanese cuisine delights as well."

"It’s been THE ramen joint in Calgary since it opened it is now known for its cool music, long lines, and of course, delicious food. But many people don’t know that they can order Shiki Menya Ramen Cup for takeout right now, from 11 am to 3 pm, Monday to Saturday. For people who already know about that, their ramen kits available at the First Avenue Corner Store are important to mention."

"A post shared by Kara (@ma.food.adventure) on Jan 25, 2019 at 2:43pm PST. This Bridgeland ramen joint is known for its stellar bowls of noodles. Made from scratch and always offering daily specials, folks need to get here early to ensure they get some grub — once the bowl limit is hit there’s no more served until the next day."

"Calgary is known for being cold so a nice bowl of ramen really hits the spot. Ask locals where to eat ramen in Calgary and, for sure, they’ll say Shiki Manya. Shiki Manya serves fresh in-house noodles and soups made from scratch using pork from local farms."

"One of Calgary’s best-kept cuisine secrets is the Japanese-Italian gem Carino, tucked into a cozy spot in Mission on 4th Street SW. If you’re checking this spot out for pasta, then you absolutely can’t go wrong with unique but delectable dishes like the Bucatini with Wagyu Meat Sauce or the Ricotta Gnocchi with Prawns and Pesto Sauce. It’s something a little out of the ordinary, but trust us when we say one try will make you a fan for life. Where: 2210 4 St SWInstagram:@eatcarino"

"We were recently introduced to this excellent sushi restaurant in the Beltline and fell in love. We've now gone to Kanpai about a dozen or so times over the past few months with each visit being just as good as the last. Inside Kanpai you'll find a warming contemporary atmosphere with elegant decor and a mix of full / half booth seats."

"Haru Sushi & Grill, although a chain restaurant, deserves credit where it's due. With three locations around the city, it's become known as one of the go-to restaurants for nigiri, sushi, sashimi, udon and other types of dishes. We highly recommend checking out the downtown or westside locations."

When you head to this spot to dine, expect some seriously Insta-worthy moments courtesy of the bullet train sushi system, a concept that originated in Japan. Guests simply order on a tablet, and their food shoots out on a miniature train minutes later."

"Whether you love sushi or just enjoy a fun dining experience, you will find both at The One Sushi. This spot allows you to order your dishes on an iPad and they provide plenty of great choices. This is much like dining at an all-you-can-eat buffet without leaving your table."

"There is no server (they are there in case you need help but you only talk to them at the end of the meal when you pay for it). You order everything on an iPad (it’s very easy!) and it gets delivered via a bullet train."
