This restaurant offers good food, but they missed menu items such as Sake, twice within 2 months. The first time, I can see a supply issue, but the 2nd time on July 31, 2024 we decided to visit another restaurant, which offered all the items on the Menu. So sad, as there is a store right behind this restaurant which most likely sells sake. Maybe try a different restaurant. Thank you and have a great day! read more

TL:DR - Great sushi place tucked away in the north side of Calgary. We wanted to find a sushi restaurant near the hotel we were staying at in Calgary as we always find that the sushi is better quality than what is found in Edmonton. Very odd to me because all the sushi grade fish is shipped over the mountains but for whatever reason sushi is a lot better in Calgary than Edmonton, it makes no sense to me. In any event Sushi Kimu is a small narrow sushi shop tucked away in a plaza that is pretty hard to miss. There aren't a ton of seats in this place but there's enough space for small groups if necessary. They do a lot of take out orders as well. The small quaint place has a simple decor and is a run of the mill sort of look, nothing too modern but it works. As for the food, we ordered some agedashi tofu (fried tofu in a sweet soy sauce), an assortment of salmon and tuna sashimi, a Vancouver roll (Avocado, mango and salmon topped with fresh tuna) and a variety of sushi (eel, squid, shrimp, salmon and tuna). The food was all served in a timely manner, the wait didn't feel long at all. While everything didn't come out all at once, it worked because each dish was served with enough time for us to eat it before the next one came out so it never felt like we were waiting very long for our food. The fish was all fresh, the rice was fluffy not overly hard, and most importantly the proportion of fish to rice was perfect, not too much rice (as lots of the less quality restaurants tend to do). The staff were friendly and didn't check on us too much, something I personally find very annoying. I would come back here next time we're in Calgary again. read more

Mandatory 15% tip for "6 or more people" despite the fact that we had an infant, so the waitress barely paid us any attention - had to get up and ask for water at the front counter. Won't be back. 2 stars for tasty food. read more

Jus ordered take out from this restaurant our first time very fresh, meat selections and good rice!! The sushi was rolled a nice and quality was good. The kal bi was authentic.. thank god!! Give this place a try. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was my husband went into order sat down and waited till it was done they could of asked if he wanted a glass of water while he waited. read more

This place had consistent reviews and so I thought I'd venture out and try it...I was not disappointed! The salmon and tuna sashimi was very nice, thick and fresh and the rolls were extremely unique! I had the volcano roll which was incredible and the fried Philadelphia roll which was so cheesy! The spicy salmon roll was also quite nice Definitely a must try! read more

Good sushi spot for the NW/NE area without having to drive downtown or country hills area. Huge variety of sushi rolls to pick from (20+). It's hard to figure out what the rolls look like because they all sound the same and they don't have a lot of photos on the menu. Hard to differentiate the differences when all the ingredient are similar. Takoyaki wasn't that great, no octopus pieces in the center and felt like I was just eating a ball of dough. Fish on sushi was fresh! Not too much rice on sushi. read more

Review: lunch. Bottomline: boutique sushi restaurant that serves good portions and varieties of fantastic sushi and cooked food. Atmosphere: the restaurant is located in a stripe mall with a small dark sign that is easy to miss. The restaurant is very small, clean and well kept. They only have one large table that can cater to more than 4 people. Service was friendly and attentive. Food: we were not sure about the food as there were a huge selection to choose from. To our surprise, everything we ordered looked appetizing and tasted great. The fish to rice ratio was on point and the rolls were done well. We ordered the pineapple express and the tropical rolls. It was nice for a change to have pineapples and bananas as ingredients and they worked well in a sushi roll. The cooked food did not disappoint as well. We ordered the katsu don and the chicken yakisoba. Ingredients were fresh and the flavor profiles were marvelous. Value: average prices for Japanese food. What striked me strange was the price of a piece of tamago sushi (2 dollars). It was the same price as a piece of salmon sushi which didn't make much sense to me. Otherwise, portions were generous and we left happy on a full stomach. Encore? Yes. read more

The bento is the best lunch invention after sliced bread. Kimu has them M-F for lunch and I go here every once in a while when I have a craving for bentos You get a decent amount of food for $12.95. It comes with edamame, dumplings, sushi and one other item. The restaurant is owned and operated by a Korean family which explains the hints of Korean inspired flavors. For example, they use gochujang (Korean chili sauce) on their spicy rolls. I thought the service was poor. Our tuna crash roll was forgotten and we had to ask them for it. It also took a while for them to get us our bill. Overall, this is a great lunch spot and neighborhood gem. Their sushi is great, and fresh but I'd stick with take out to avoid having to sit through crappy service. read more

Pleasently suprised at how clean and cozy it felt when we first stepped in. Must have been the lighting in there, it's spot on, not too dim and not too bright. This is a really small place, seats maybe 20 or so at the most. We arrived at 6 and my date and I were immediately greeted and seated. Service here is outstanding for what it is, really friendly staff. We placed our order and within 20 minutes, our food was out. The tonkatsu was amazing, was the best dish we had! Presentation and portion size is really fair for the price you pay. I really recommend this place. Although it's hard to see how large groups would accommodate since this place is really small, a date or a couple friends would have no seating problems. read more

Wow what a gem of a restaurant . Wanted to try a new sushi place and was happily surprised with Kimu. It's A small spot with a big Heart . The night we went it was busy and I can now understand why . The young man server was pleasant and did his best to make our dinning experience great ! The food took awhile to get but it was a busy night and well worth the wait . We had the Veracruz roll and it was soooo tasty ! We had the regular items like tempera vegetables which where yummy and not greasy as well as sushi and a very flavourful salad ! Overall it was a great dining experience and a tasty one to beat ! Yum yum read more

Great little sushi shop and fairly priced. I love hitting this place up for lunch. Go check them out

Wow this is a bit of a gem in the NE neighborhood of Hunterhorn! Great prices, delicious sushi and honestly great to be back in a dining room! I will definitely go back!! read more

Quaint little place with AMAZING food! We have found our new fave and will highly recommend to friends and family :) read more

Tried this place tonight via Skip The Dishes since it was one of the higher rated choices according to Yelp. I was impressed by the number of choices for rolls and the prices are very reasonable. The thing is, almost all the rolls consist of the same ingredients and seemed to involve some combination of shrimp, tuna, crab, salmon, mango, avocado and tobiko. When the rolls arrived, they were neatly and individually packaged. I have two gripes about my order: first, I ordered a Golden California Roll which claimed to use gold tobiko and have a special sauce. What I got had no sauce and had the orange tobiko. Second, I found the slices to be too thick! I kept thinking I had 2 stuck together, it's a bit much for my mouth. All in all, it was ok sushi. Not bad, not great. I wish StD would obtain more choices for sushi as most rate 2-3 stars on Yelp. read more

If I can only give ten stars to this restaurant, I would. Every food in the menu is delicious and affordable. Friendly and the service is fast. So far this my favorite sushi place in YYC. It's really worth checking it out. read more

By far one of my favourite sushi place! Coming from Vancouver, it's been tough to find a decent restaurant. My sister and I ordered the garden salad, spicy tuna sashimi, dynamite roll, tobiko and negitoro roll. It was sooooo good! Service was great! Although, they did charge us for tea @ $1.00/p. I'm not used to getting charge for tea. I'm taking my whole family here next time around! read more

Cozy place with friendly service and a great atmosphere. We ordered the Roll Combo along with the deep fried chicken cutlet that came with rice, salad and a tangy dipping sauce. The Roll Combo came out immediately however the chicken took a while to arrive at our table. Both dishes were delicious. Overall, would definitely come here again. read more

I tried this place out with a group of friends. It's a cute, small little spot that probably does most of its business on word of mouth. They have a pretty extensive sushi menu. I appreciate they describe things well - if you aren't a sushi expert you get a good idea of what all the options are about. Presentation wise the sushi and the rolls are stunning. Portions are good and pricing is very reasonable. They have traditional options as well as some more modern "out there" creations. Things are well made and everything was fresh tasting - pretty important with sushi, right? Service was kinda all over the place. It took awhile to get everyone place settings. They were quick however to extend out table when it became clear we ordered more food than would comfortably fit on the initial table space. The server didn't ask if we wanted beverage refills - their loss because we al probably would have had a second drink. All in all this is a great little spot. I'll be back. read more

As an easy weeknight restaurant, Sushi Kimu is great. It's convenient, food comes out quick and it's cheap for the amount of food you get. It's a solid mid-range (in quality for Calgary) casual Japanese restaurant but not necessarily a spot for date night. Small with about 6-7 four seater tables, the decor is simple, modern and clean. Service has always been fantastic and what keeps us coming back is the fact that we can often get away with ordering an entree (pork katsu), one special roll and a salad to share for two and walk away with full bellies. Quality of food wise, I'd stay away from the sashimi. There isn't anything wrong with it, but to me, it just doesn't taste as fresh or as great as some other higher end restaurants. Rolls wise, they have a great selection and I've enjoyed all the ones I've tried. The rice to filling ratio is always good with less rice than actual filling. read more

A friend recommended this place that opened not too long ago and wow was I surprised by how delicious everything was. The restaurant is fairly small and has about 10-12 tables and very modern looking compared to the exterior. We sat down immediately and began ordering our feast that could probably feed a family of 4 (there was only 2 of us). I usually tend to over order wherever I go, and just stuff my face until all of the food is gone but this time around my eyes were defiantly bigger than my stomach. We started off with beef tataki and spicy agadashi tofu. The beef tataki was absolutely amazing, I always order it wherever I go. The beef tataki didn't have the usual daikon like many other places have but substituted it with cucumbers and red onions instead. The cucumber in my opinion adds a little crunch to it and pairs well with acidity of the lemon. The spicy agadashi tofu was another one of my favorites here, the tofu still had the cripsy exterior while being semi-submerged in the broth. For our main course we ordered the ton katsu, assorted tempura, dragon eye, with a assortment of sushi on top. The ton katsu was one of the most notable dishes we had, the breaded chicken still moist even after being deep fried. The sushi we ordered was delicious and fresh, however, one downside to the sushi was that the rice did not stay together and broke apart when being picked up from the main serving plate. Overall, this place is a must try and the prices are very reasonable/cheaper when compared to other sushi restaurants in the NW. The quality of the sushi and dishes were superb with excellent service to match. I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK =) read more

Ordered takeout tonight. There were missing items in my order, and when I called Sushi Kimu to inquire they said they did not make a mistake even though their menu online states otherwise (menu says 4 Salmon and 4 Tuna vs. 2 each that was in my order). For the amount of food that I got, it was quite overpriced compared to other sushi restaurants in the NW, but the taste was good and fresh. read more

It is always good to have another sushi option in the area. Decent sushi restaurants are hard to come by. While not the best sushi I have had in the city, it is definitely one of the best in this part of the City. Service is also above par. One down side to it is that it is a small restaurant so it doesn't accommodate large groups well. It also does not take reservations if I remember right so be there if you would like a table. read more

The service was good but we were the only ones at 11:30 am today when they first opened, and by 12:30 all tables were taken. The sushi is meh and not the quality and presentation I'm accustomed to. Rolls were poorly done and falling apart, larger quantity of mushy rice, cut unevenly. The appearance on the tuna sashimi didn't appear that fresh. We wanted to try it because of the reviews but won't be coming back, we'll go to our usual Shabuya cause we're never disappointed there. read more

Sushi Kimu - This is not the best presentation for sushi, and what I mean by uneven cuts and too much rice. - Japanese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

This is a quaint little place which serves very interesting rolls and is a great place for vegetarians also. The sushi I had here was fresh and always delicious. I have been here dozens of time and have never been disappointed, been here for lunch and dinner. I love their rolls and the ingredients for each roll. The only thing I hope for this place is that they expand their menu, more hot foods to choose from. The Sashimi is sliced thick which is great! Even for their lunch bento box. This place is a must try! read more

We live fairly close to Sushi Kimu, but had never eaten there until today. Decided to try it out, and it was well worth it. Depending on how much you order, and how many people are eating will obviously change the cost, but I found the prices to be reasonable, and very good quality. It was fresh, and very well made. You get what you pay for in both Quality and Service! The Tuna Tataki was the absolute best I've had compared to about a dozen other sushi restaurants I've tried it at, Sushi Kimu is now top of my list. They have a good selection of rolls, individual sushi and sashimi, along with a lot of other good hot dishes on the menu. Its a very small restaurant with less than a dozen tables, so orders will come out quick and efficiently, some of the larger sushi restaurants you spend more time waiting for food, than actually eating. Here, we were in and out in under 40 minutes from the time we sat down to look at the menu, to paying for the bill. It's Japanese Owned and Run too, very polite and friendly staff. Will most definitely be coming here many more times. Highly recommended! read more

Went here again recently and tried the sashimi. It was incredibly fresh and that is obviously key to good sashimi. Will definitely go back sometime soon. read more

This place is a solid choice for sushi in the north. Ample portion sizes,fair prices,friendly service, decent sashimi.

Very nice people but the roll's were sub par. The seaweed was over powering, the rice was stale and the chicken teriyaki roll we got was hard as well as had a lingering after taste. I'm willing to try again in the future but we couldn't finish our food. read more

Food was well prepared but relies too much on sweet sauces in my opinion. Restaurant was clean and the service was great. I recommend you try it. If you like the flavor theme, you'll love this place. read more

Summary: - One of the best sushi places in Calgary with moderate selections and fair prices - Amazing food presentations - Decorations: a captivating traditional environment with a modern and classy twist - Service: incredibly polite and fast service - Upon arrival and leaving, nearly the entire staff will call out 'welcome' and 'thank you' like traditional Japanese restaurant do - Small restaurant and often busy; make reservations if possible read more

I was a fan of this place up until recently. Although their lunch bentos indicate on their menu that its M-F, we have have always been able to get this on the weekend. A few weeks ago, cause we were 1 min past 2:30 they would not let us to order. There was no one else inside. We decided to stay since we were starving. The second time , we went there at noon on a sunday. Drove from the south just to go. There was only 1 table inside. New waitress indicated that bentos were just M-F. So I told her we've been getting this since they opened, she asked the chef and we were told oh bentos are just not avail on sundays now. This time we left. We've gone numerous times on the weekend and the place is dead inside. Every single sushi place offers lunch combos on the weekend, its your busiest time. Why wouldn't you? Considering its dead inside, you'd think they would want the business instead of loosing it. Won't ever return. read more

Finally an amazing sushi resturant in our neighbourhood. Have been in 3 times now and each time have tried different items on the menu. Do not have a bad thing to say about any of them. From the B.C roll to the Spider roll, the Goyza, the Calgary roll, the beef teryaki or my favorite so far the Vegas roll. Everything is so wonderfully fresh and the staff is so attentive and friendly....you just cannot miss with this new local gem. read more

We were very happy when we found this little place. Better prices & quality of food than downtown Calgary. * Quick friendly service * Small Place. Maybe seats 30 people * Rolls are fresh, flavorful and full * Very reasonable price and lower price than we expected * Beef and Chicken Yakisoba have great flavor and are big portions * Spicy Crunch Tuna Rolls amazing and only $8.95 * We have had a whole variety of rolls and comparable goodness to sushi on the west coast * Calamari is not my style - thin dry crunchie coating but it must be meant to be that way. Have had the same way of preparation in other Japanese restaurants. * I have been craving going back all week. * Going to keep a menu in my car for take out * My kids: Elem, Jr.High & Sr. High loved it. * Like that I am supporting a small family business. Will be going back... again & again. read more

Just ok. They do more quantity than true quality. Sushi is supposed to be bite sized but the rolls were too big to eat on one bite. There is no way that this is the best in the city let alone Vancouver like some reviews state. read more

I was recommend by a co-worker to check this place out. We live fairly close as does a friend of ours and we frequent this area for dinner quite often so we decided to give this spot a try last night. What a great little spot, and when I say little I mean little, there are maybe 12 tables so its quaint. You can't judge this place by the outside but once you walk in the door it's very inviting and very well decorated. They were very quick to greet us and sit us. The menu is very well put together with stunning pictures which I find very helpful when ordering sushi. I love that they use re-usable laminated sheets with dry erase markers for their sushi order sheets, shows they are environmentally friendly. They had two sushi chefs working so once we handed in our order everything came out very quickly. We actually got our sushi before our friend who order the Tomcatsu, which was delicious according to him. The presentation was spot on, quality was spot on as was the flavor!! All pluses!! I have to admit I had quite the craving for sushi as it's been awhile since I've had it and I totally ordered more than we could eat, but that's fine...I have a great lunch to look forward to today!! Overall we were very impressed with this find. Great atmosphere, great service, great quality and great flavor as well as a great price. This place we found very reasonable compared to many of the other sushi places. We will defiantly be making this our local sushi spot. read more

After moving from the West Coast to Banff then to Calgary, I had almost given up hope for inexpensive/delicious sushi and sashimi. My boyfriend and I are lucky to have found this place so close to our home. We've ordered the caterpillar rolls, marinated short ribs, and deluxe sashimi. The portions were great and the sashimi was exceptionally outstanding! Despite the sashimi being almost $20.00 the cuts were generous and they even give you red tuna! The space is small so not good for big groups but cozy enough for a couple or with close friends. read more

Tiny place with excellent and reasonably priced sushi. Generously sized lunch special bento boxes are delicious. Sushi rice holds together nicely even after dipping in wasabi and soy sauce. Teriyaki Beef is very tender and the sauce is amazing. read more
