"A vegetable-forward, sushi-driven omakase restaurant inspired by chef Darren MacLean's mother's love of vegetables, offering both fresh and dry-aged sushi." - Jennifer Malloy

CALGARY CITY GUIDE

"VEGAN, VEGETARIAN & SUSHI take focus at NUPO, located in Calgary’s East Village. This focus is a result of the influence of Chef Darren MacLean’s mother on his cuisine. Her love of plants, vegan recipes, and an appreciation of fish and sushi is why the restaurant chose to reflect these values. Seen not only in the food, but also by the namesake of NUPO which is derived from her Maiden name Nuponnen. The décor is quintessential Alberta, with highlights of birch, shale, and burnt woods. This Japanese style restaurant celebrates plant forward, vegan cuisine paired with incredible sushi—both fresh and aged in our specialty, unique in Canada, dry ageing chamber. Experience the à la carte menu in the dining room or sit at the Birchwood counter bar to further explore the artisanal cocktails without the pretence. The cocktail menu is curated to feature Japanese teas with both health and flavour in mind. Have your bartender take you through the extensive sake list, including a few exclusive to NUPO offerings. The restaurant hosts the first counter service Omakase Sushi Experience in Calgary. Here you will receive stunning seasonal dishes and courses of nigiri sustainably sourced from around the world."

Enjoyed our Omakase Sushi express lunch. It was a small but short sitting over lunch time (in/out within 30 mins). Booked in advance for the time slot, prepaid and show up on time so that you can enjoy the hand made omakase experience in front of the chefs. Total of 12 pieces of special hand crafted of sushi prepared in front of you. Two chefs and a server to take care the seating of total of 5 people at the sushi bar. Service is fast and efficient within 30 mins. Great for people who have limited time during lunch. Although it is fast, but enjoyable with the quiet and setting. Each piece has its unique taste and combination of different flavors. Recommended!

I recently had dinner here for the first time. We tried the Nupo five piece sashimi (MP: $30 for 5, so $60 for 10 pieces), the king salmon and avocado roll, the wild mushroom roll ($19), gyoza (vegetarian: $16), and an oyster dish. We also had some of their cocktails. Food and drink were absolutely delicious. I will say that I found the menu incredibly overwhelming. They have a tasting menu ($115 per person) but the whole table has to order it. They also have a rotating plant and fish based menu that can be found on their website. In addition to that menu, there is another a la carte menu with individual sashimi/nigiri that you can order by the piece, as well as a couple of rolls. We had a few dishes in mind to order but we were overwhelmed so just asked the server to choose a couple of more dishes for us with a rough budget. The five piece sashimi was delightful. Every piece of fish had a unique and delicious flavour. I was so, so impressed by the wild mushroom roll. The texture of the filling was so unlike normal cooked mushrooms, with a nice almost crunch to it. Oysters were similarly delicious, as was the gyoza. The Gyoza tasted very elevated mexican, but in a Japanese filling. Cocktails were similarly delicious. They have very interesting offerings, and my husband thoroughly enjoyed their version of an Old Fashioned. Our bill came to $200 after tax (before tip). Service was excellent. The food was fantastic, but, we didn't come hungry. A boon for us, as I think our bill would have ended up being at least $100 more if we did. As it was, the food was light enough to enjoy and appreciate even with arriving fairly sated. Given the incredible food, I'd highly recommend coming. If you have a budget, definitely plan to have a late lunch or go elsewhere to eat after, as you may not leave sated.

Overall we had a good experience, but was slightly disappointed that no tiny little adds were offered to celebrate birthday which definitely could please a lot; not even a candy… not a big deal, but still wanted some appreciation. Food is good, many smoked flavours to different types of fish; however portions are European style/size so we ended up ordering 8-9 positions from the menu to finally feel full, as we both skipped the lunch for a reason. The service was great.

My fiance and I went here as a late birthday gift and got to experience the "Omakase" experience they offer. The food was sooooo good and the ingredients used were definitely fresh. The 15 day aged BlueFin tuna toro was so amazing. We first got a tray of "appetizers" with unique but traditional Japanese dishes. Then a couple more appetizers (mushroom temperature and A5 Wagyu pieces) then we got the main of 10 nigiri sushi made right in front of you. The Chef explained what part of the fish it was. We ended it off with a Shiso sorbet which was refreshing. The drinks are awesome too! Something I recommend all sushi/fish lovers to try at least once in your life. We've been three times now and it's been amazing all 3 times. Can't wait to go back again.

My wife booked a tasting menu for my birthday and it did not disappoint. We had a group of eight and the servers were amazing and the food was so fresh and of a high quality dinning experience. We finished the night off with a deconstructed key lime pie and Japanese cheese cake. The cocktails and coffees were also fantastic. Highly recommend.

We had really nice dinner experience at NUPO! Their 7 day aged sushi is the best! I cannot wait to go back for their omakase experience!

The sushi we had here was another level. Great drinks too. Only wish the servings in the omakase were bigger.

This was our first time here and we definitely were impressed. The food is quite expensive but the quality is amazing. We had various sushi, some rolls, the bbq scallop, fish tacos, and sablefish donburi. Everything was amazing and our server knew the menu inside and out and had great recommendations.
