Fusion Sushi – Kensington

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.

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

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!

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.

Lovely lunch spot. Took over old Sushi Club location on Kensington road. Décor 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!

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

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

The mango roll was very good! This cozy place in Kensington has a good sushi, and a very friendly service… I really enjoyed it, and would recommend it…

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.

Cute little place
Fresh and tasty
Sashimi was fresh
Sushi tasted very rich in a good way
Service was A+

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

Fantastic food, great service. Suggested first order, Dragon Fruit Roll and Fairy Tale In Autumn.
