Great place! Took a risk based on yelp reviews, and we were not disappointed. 6:30pm on a Thursday night (before a holiday Friday), had a reso and were seated immediately, the restaurant seemed dead. Excellent food - we had veggie tempura (perfect batter, not heavy), gyoza (totally delicious, thin wrapper), spicy jalapeño seared tuna roll (perfect amount of kick), dynamite roll (standard but yummy), salmon sushi (very fresh) and the favorite - hamachi. So delicious. The service was very prompt and friendly. By the time we left there was not an empty seat, glad we had made a reso! New fave sushi place, we will be back! read more

Lovely lunch spot. Took over old Sushi Club location on Kensington road. Decor is clean, bright and a very low inviting sushi bar greets you along the wall in full view as you enter. Two large TV screens behind the chef; one with the menu, one a tv show I'd not seen before. Photos of the menu items were mesmerizing. A dozen tables for 2 or 4 people fill the restaurant. As I can eat a lot of sushi and sashimi, I have to clear up the understanding of gluten free/celiac with the staff right away so I can read the menu properly. Gluten free rice wine vinegar used in their sushi rice. We confirmed on the box. Sadly the California roll is not, (imitation crab), however they do have a gluten free soy sauce if you do not want to bring your own. It's a sweeter taste than my usual brand. Not bad, just different. On the day of our visit they were out of Ika (squid, and my favourite) since my coworker was on a food adventure - I try to introduce her to a new sashimi every time we dine, we opted for hamachi (yellowtail). Our combo came with surf clam (hokkaigai), a second new meat for her to try, and it did not disappoint. Steamed perfectly. Tooth tender and not chewey at all. Texture of all the sashimi was good. Fresh, or well thawed and prepared. A large and unique variety of rolls and house creations. Ramen as well that looks great but isn't usually gluten free so I can't comment on it. Tea was delicious, and very hot. Seldom were our cups empty. Water served was lemon water today. Not that Calgary has bad tap water to hide, (ok, sometimes in the spring), it was refreshing. We'll be back to explore other menu items soon! read more

Not to be confused with the AYCE with the same down the street, Fusion Sushi offers quality sushi. I've walked by the store front many times on my way to Hayden Block but never thought to try it until hubby and I had a hankering for good sushi. They weren't busy on a Saturday night but I saw lots of people taking out. In terms of offerings, there's nothing special about their menu that sets them apart from other Japanese restaurants but the quality is better. I really enjoyed their tempura, and especially the sushi rice. It wasn't too vinegary or soft. They are also honest about the quality of their fish, like when they refused to serve me ikura because they felt it was past its prime. Points for integrity and not giving me diarrhea! The server was also attentive and made sure we were satisfied with our meal. Our bill came to $60 which was fairly reasonable for sushi. I used to think Fusion Sushi was out of place among the hustle and bustle of Kensington, but it's actually a nice place for a romantic quiet evening. I'll definitely return some day to this gem. read more

Fusion is stepping up the sushi game in Kensington and I don't see anything slowing it down. We made an early reservation for a Thursday night dinner, and making a reservation was a good idea. We arrived to an empty restaurant, with nearly all tables sporting a "reserved" sign. We were seated and ordered a few drinks, then had the menu briefly explained to us, along with the already infamous chef's specials board. We ordered salmon and tuna sashimi to start, followed by a classic spicy salmon roll, the Alberta roll off the specials rolls, unagi nigiri, and a green dragon roll off the chef's daily special rolls. The sashimi came out promptly, placed in a bowl of ice with a mini ice sculpture (fun!), and it was some of the best sashimi I have had in Calgary. Served at the perfect temperature, the buttery soft, fresh tasting fish was to die for. I am still thinking about that sashimi. Next were the rolls and let me tell you, this meal just got better and better. Everything was again plated beautifully, and looks weren't all that this sushi had to offer. The green dragon roll from the chefs daily special menu was so perfect: warm tempura, avocado, mayo and green tobiko for snap - loved it all. The Alberta roll was original and bold, and clearly well thought out, with seared steak, green onions and a spicy sauce coming together for perfection. We couldn't decide which was our favorite - everything was so fresh and so even handed. Ordering a smattering from the different offerings on the menu proved to be the way to go. Is Kensington becoming little Vancouver? I sure felt transported. Even just walking in - there is something so familiar about this place, with the table setup and bar seating along the chefs tables. The service is amazing, on point and friendly. The food is fresh and original, and prepared with thought. By the time we left, the restaurant was full and many of the people who had come in were obviously regulars and greeted warmly by the staff as if they were old friends. It's no surprise this place already has a solid following. read more

Fusion Sushi in Kensington is pretty great! The service was quick and the staff were very careful and attentive with my orders given my various allergies. The food was all well presented. Although it's not the best sushi ever, it's pretty great for an all you can eat joint! Prices are very reasonable and the restaurant is well taken care of. read more

Good quality sushi at a fair price! Went here with a group of 7 on a Friday night. The place filled up pretty quickly. The interior was proper, service was friendly but fairly slow (reasonable given how busy it was). So far, some of the best sushi that I've tried in Calgary! The torched salmon was on point!! The rolls were also delicious and everyone enjoyed their meals. read more

I did not realize this restaurant was Chinese owned, not that it's an issue; I somehow thought it was going to be authentic Japanese. The ice swan with our sashimi was a nice touch but the temperature of the sashimi ended up being a bit too cool due to the ice. Rolls were tasty and innovative. Service, while polite, was painfully slow. Our reservation was for 6 and orders were not taken until 30 min past that. Were they busy? The restaurant was mostly full but at least half the tables already got their food. Our orders came in different waves - people who came after us got their final orders before we did which I find annoying and unacceptable. Just give me all of my food at once please? I just thought some of the long wait times was unnecessary. Even getting the bill and paying took some time too... read more

This cozy hideaway serves quality sushi in elegant and creative ways. You will feel special like you do when you visit a vacation resort. I ordered the Sushi Combo with Soup. It was Tuna Poke with 5 pieces of Nigiri Sushi, a Spicy Salmon Roll and Miso Soup ($24.95). I settled into my window seat to indulge in some people watching. Check out my photos to see what fanciful surprises arrived. Order their house cold sake too. It is floral and refreshing and complements the meal perfectly. read more

I spent the evening with my wife and friends there. We were celebrating her birthday. So, I went there a couple of nights before asking if I could make a reservation. A very polite lady helped me and did all for me. Then I bought one roll just to try it and I liked it. So we all went the next week and the attention was amazing, the food was amazing. Very good variety, different types of flavours. My only con will be, rolls are small so you would most likely need to order more than one roll. Totally recommended read more

My boyfriend and I came to check out this place because of reviews, it wasn't as good as we anticipated it to be. We ordered takoyaki and it came out microwaved. Miso soup was loaded with salt. An employee came in long after we ordered and the chef prepared her sushi before preparing ours which was quite a disappointment since we came on a Sunday night and were the only customers there. The sushi was quite a let down, terribly plated. Sashimi served in an awkward plant display bowl. There are better places to have sushi at. Not a place I'd recommend personally. read more

Great sushi place! I like how the menu can explain the amount of sushi you get under the different categories. Small place as not really recommended for large groups. Although, there is a group of ten during dinner, but they took up a quarter of the space. Friendly staff. Chef is awesome. Clean place and great ambience for date nights. Great location but limited parking as there are other venues all along this strip of the neighborhood. Overall, awesome restaurant! read more

Service was amazing, the staff were all so friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and well presented. I would recommend trying out the BBQ squid and the seared salmon. Other than that the sushi was all pretty good. The restaurant is quite small so be sure to make reservation just to be on te safe! read more

The best sushi I've had in Calgary by far. Lived in Vancouver for years and this place is just as equivalent to some of the best sushi I've Eaten there. My only spot for sushi from now on read more

Really great sushi! The restaurant is clean, the owner is very friendly, and the sushi and sashimi are very fresh, the presentation of the food is beautiful, and the price is reasonable. It is definitely a small and yet intimate place to go. read more

Quite possibly my new favorite sushi joint in town. I was incredibly surprised to find that this was a chain of restaurants, rather than just a single location. Their 'all you can eat' menu is immensely spectacular and puts other sushi restaurants to shame with the amount of variety they provide. Even if you don't like sushi you're bound to find something you like, which makes it worth the price. The food was also of an incredibly high quality and even in the insanely spicy green chili curry was scrumptious despite it taking me forever to eat because I couldn't handle the heat. read more

The best sushi place I have ever tried in Calgary!!! The fish is fresh and special. Try their fusion roll there. The lemon and tomato are quite matched! I do like the Unagi and the mango! Dragon roll is amazing! I know you'll like spicy tuna as well! The ice sculpture is so cute! Try their takoyaki and the green tea gelato! Hope it's helpful and enjoy your meal! Xoxo read more

Went here with a group of friends tonight, we opted for the all you can eat, and it was fantastic! The service was quick, but you need to flag down the waitresses. I loved the variety to the menu, we ordered a little bit of everything and it was all good. I wanted to see how much I could eat in 90 minutes and was surprised and disgusted with myself afterwards. read more

Fusion sushi is o.k. The miso soup was standard, seaweed salad was on its last legs ( a little to close to expiration for me when it starts to have a gluey texture). The sashimi was presented with an ice sculpture ( kinda cool). Spicy tuna roll needed more spice, philly roll was tough grainy salmon, the special veggie roll was very nice. Doesn't compare to sushi club which dominated this space previously. Not sure why all the hype on this place read more

We love this place to eat in or take-away. The staff are friendly and attentive. The sushi is always fresh and tasty. Highly recommend - so glad it opened after sushi club closed. It is NOT all you can eat, it was in Kensington before the other one opened. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to try this when our favourite spot, Ikemen, was closed at the time of our visit. They are only a few doors apart. Well... what a pleasant surprise!! We enjoyed it so much last month that we went back again this past weekend. Our server both visits was Shirley! She is super delightful! The food is so fresh, hot and amazingly tasty! There are so many menu options. Go before 3 and it is $17.95 for all you can eat Thai and sushi! We have tried a quarter of the menu now and have love everything we have tried. So far our favs are the Fusion sushi and the delicate tempura shrimp. Shirley recommended we try her fav; the fried wonton cheese balls and yup! Yummy! A must try restaurant if you like variety of sushi, Thai, soups and appies read more

This place was unreal! Great prices and all you can eat!!!! Great people too:) 10/10 would recommend Excellent service!!!! Very prompt and fast read more

Good place for sushi. All you can eat sushi at lunch does not have the same number of selections as dinner menu.

False advertising! 25 per person equals 70 for 2 actually Not worth 25 Sure not worth 35!' Misleading advertising

Well, my friend and I were there yesterday and were very underwhelmed with the food. (The service was great, however). We had Pad Thai that tasted like vinegar, spring rolls that had no flavour, beef teriyaki that had great beef but just teriyaki sauce poured on top (sweet and sticky). We also had avocado rolls with virtually no avocado, and the tempura is panko or double dipped - tempura should just coat the vegetables and shrimp, not overpower it. I had to peel most of the batter off since I don't want a mouthful of batter. Over the past few months, this place has declined, but yesterday was the worst. We decided we would no longer visit this establishment. read more

Wendy and Sam are the wonderful owners of this sushi restaurant. Sam is dedicated to his craft for sure! The sushi here is among some of the best I've had. I have yet to be dissatisfied. The service is fantastic and the space is beautiful. This is a must for any sushi lover. read more

I love, love, love this place! Busy all the time. I've been there about 6 times and there will be more. I love that it's all you can eat (for $18 at lunch), but each item comes individually prepared. You just look through the menu, mark what you want on a sheet, and voila - Thai food, japanese food... what's not to love? I prefer tapas to a meal, so this is perfect for me. And they have free parking in Kensington!! I mean, that is hard to find! read more

nice little place for a few friends to dine. recommend their scallop tempura dynamite roll and dragon roll. will come back
