Calgary might be 1,000 kilometres from the ocean, but you’d never guess it from the freshness of the sushi available here. The following is a list of Calgary restaurants that will deliver fresh, delicious sushi to your door.
Bubble Sushi in Triwood offers delivery to a sizeable portion of the northwest. Order online or by phone, and have yummy, hand-wrapped cones, sushi and sashimi speedily delivered to your door. Bubble is happy to customize dishes for dietary concerns, and the restaurant’s menu features plenty of gluten-free options. And yes, Bubble does serve bubble tea, too!
Located in Mission on the Fourth Street Southwest restaurant row, Hana Sushi has been serving top-quality sushi since 1998. You’ve got to try the Stampeder roll (salmon, tuna, prawn, avocado and fish roe). Serving a crowd? Order the Hana Boat, which includes four pieces each of salmon and tuna sashimi, two pieces each of salmon, tuna, prawn, and red snapper sushi, four pieces of house special roll, six pieces of California roll, six pieces of salmon roll and six pieces of cucumber roll.
If you can’t make it to their perpetually busy and super funky Macleod Trail restaurant, the team at Sho Sushi is more than happy to transport their delicious sushi to you. And, yes, the menu features sushi standards such as the dynamite roll or California roll, but its specialty rolls are what makes Sho Sushi really shine. The sashimi is fresh and flavourful and available à la carte.
With three busy Calgary locations (in Millrise, Kingsland and Dalhousie) and a fourth location in Country Hills opening soon, it’s no wonder Kinjo Sushi & Grill consistently receives top billing on best-sushi lists. Its sushi, tempura, teriyaki and other authentic Japanese dishes are perfect for an in-home sushi night if you just can’t get out of your PJs.
Though the dine-in experience is excellent (the restaurant is styled after the pubs that Japanese salary men visit after a long day of work), the restaurant’s takeout food is fantastic. This downtown hotspot delivers across the entire city in less than 45 minutes.
In an unassuming brick strip mall on the busy Trans-Canada Highway, Shibuya Izakaya offers up an excellent sushi experience. Even its delivery orders are artfully presented. Cuddle up with Netflix and a sushi spread of cracking Cajun roll, baked oyster motoyaki and the brilliantly coloured red ahi tuna sashimi.
With a reputation for excellent, large-scale corporate catering, Big Catch also has no problem delivering freshly made rolls, sashimi and other delicious dishes to your party. They only deliver in the early evening Thursdays through Sundays, and their delivery zone is limited to the region around Kingsland, Fairview, Elbow Park and Acadia. We suggest making a friend in the area if you want some scrumptious sushi without having to sit in.
This hidden gem in Bridlewood offers inexpensive sushi without sacrificing quality. Ask about the restaurant’s specials when you call, as certain items (such as the yummy teriyaki steak roll and grilled black cod) only appear on the menu occasionally. Delivery is available city wide.
A Kensington favourite, Red Ember offers a consistently great experience in the restaurant, which definitely translates to its delivery service as well, though you’ll miss out on the complimentary sample appetizers. If you’re in its delivery zone (it can change depending on how busy the place is and its staffing level) order up a sushi selection that includes a spicy snapper wrap, spicy volcano roll or lobster roll. You won’t be disappointed.
