Point Sushi - Bullet Train Sushi Bar

I love this place it’s very similar to what you might find in Tokyo as someone who has been to this type of restaurant in Japan. The food is also great the squid legs are definitely my favourite. Coffee mochi is for sure a great choice the deserts are all very good. Super nice and friendly staff the few times you do encounter them as all serving is done via bullet train. Reluctantly I will do a wing review as I do every restaurant I go to just in case there’s an amazing wing I’m missing out on. Overall rating is 5/10 it’s alright the wing itself is cooked well but it’s just plain. However the hells chicken is comparable to a boneless wing just much bigger, I’d give that a 6.5/10 the hot level isn’t much higher than a franks red hot though it’s a good flavour the downfall is the chicken though it was still great just many better options. Again I try to be as unbiased towards restaurants like this when reviewing them as obviously wings are probably the last thing on their mind as a Japanese restaurant. Because of that I truly believe this is one of my favourite Japanese restaurants in Calgary not only due to the novelty of the bullet train but also because of the food disregarding the wings.

The food arriving on boats is such a fun and original touch, especially for the kids—they really loved it! Prices are quite reasonable. Overall though, it was a pleasant experience with tasty food.

Fun concept with fresh sushi served by bullet train right to your table. Good variety and friendly service. A nice spot for a casual sushi experience in Calgary.

I visited this restaurant for the first time and I have no words. Very pleasant and kind staff, nice and clean environment and last but not least excellent food. You can order food using a tablet, which is very convenient and you don't have to wait for service. You can order easily and quickly at any time. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. From my selection I can highlight the excellent SPICY FUJI ROLL or, for example, SAMURAI ROLL. I had an amazing fresh ginger drink to drink and finally my appetite was satisfied with STRAWBERRY MOCHI ICE CREAM. I can't wait and look forward to my next visit. Thank you

Not worth it. I've been here twice and I won't be back again. I've been to another similar sushi restaurants that were so much better. Number one: the food is not good at all and it's expensive for what you get and the quality. Two of us ate (one was a 10 yr old), and even though it was 50$ I was still a bit hungry but didn't want any more of the terrible sushi. 2: Some of the fish was so cold it felt like it was just thawed. 3: The train delivering the food is such a fun idea but the actual food it brings is disappointing. If you do come they have free underground parking.

A bit noisy and loud and seated between two other booths 😵‍💫😬 felt like a diner with more commercial appeal and while the bullet train concept is neat the delivery feels a bit tacky - it’s a plastic tray that looks worn. The food itself is alright but the menu is stuck in one place and is awkward to scroll through from the seats Food takes a bit longer than expected and the waitress’s mannerisms was rushed not out of the place actually being busy (and even if it was you should still take proper care and time with the customer and provide a pleasant dining experience) but almost out of ego and wanting to appear like she wasn’t available or not to bother her with questions etc they seemed more sycophantic to white customers which unfortunately is so ingrained and conditioned into people and not based on merit just simple habitual patterns of society that it infiltrates every level of service.

Good sushi place! It’s consistent and such a unique novelty. The food does take a little bit to arrive as each item is made to order. The pricing is fair and the sushi is quite fresh! Good mix of cooked/warm items and sushi.

⸻ Point Sushi – Calgary, AB ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) If you’re in Calgary and looking for a fun, futuristic sushi experience, Point Sushi is a must-visit. This place combines good food with playful tech, and it absolutely delivers. 🛤️ Robot Delivery: One of the standout features is the high-speed bullet train that zooms your order straight to your table. It’s efficient, entertaining, and surprisingly precise. You order through a touch screen, and minutes later—voilà—your food arrives like a scene from a sci-fi movie. The system even warns you to keep fingers away while the tray is in motion (safety first!). 🍣 Food: • The spicy rolls came topped with a punchy sauce and were plated beautifully. The rice was well-prepared, and the texture of the fish was fresh and satisfying. • The bao buns were a highlight—pillowy soft and packed with umami from the savory pork belly. • The portion sizes were fair for the price, especially considering the unique experience. 📱 Tech & Service: The ordering interface was user-friendly and responsive. No need to wave down a server—the whole system is streamlined, letting you focus on the food and fun. The staff kept a low profile but were helpful when needed. 💵 Value: With the CAD to USD conversion, we spent $26.45 USD including a decent tip. Very fair pricing for such a memorable dining experience. 🎯 Overall: Point Sushi is more than just a meal—it’s a mini adventure. Whether you’re dining solo or with friends, this is a place that makes sushi fun, fast, and delicious. A perfect mix of novelty and quality. 📍1162 2 Ave SW, Calgary, AB

My favourite thing was probably the house made ginger ale, wish that was bottomless. I loved how fun and interactive my experience was with ordering what I wanted on the iPad. Quick little dopamine hit haha. You can only order 3/4 items at a time how ever. And free parking is only after 4pm, so we did have to pay, as we went during lunch time. The food was great price for what you received. Would probably go back again, if in the area

Bullet train sushi in calgary Fun and entertaining. Great for solo diners. Small portions but has a good variety of everything. I would order the special rolls and Nigiri as these dishes were the best and did not disappoint. I had so much fun here. It was not cheap but it was a fun experience that made me feel like a big kid. And I wasn't the only adult enjoying the place. It was a bit sad when the train past you when you thought it was yours. But sooooo exciting when it did stop!

The bullet train is what makes this place. The sushi is satisfactory. Gotta get the real ginger ale. So good. Small plates. Really liked using the app and then getting it sent right away. Kids thought it was super fun. Would have liked to see albacore tuna and more hamachi on the menu. Parking is rough but well worth it.

Stopped by for a weeknight dinner. Point Sushi's food is decent, not the highest quality but not bad for the price point. My main complaint was that their soy sauce was really salty, like oddly salty, and it was basically unusable. Service was friendly, and the restaurant was pretty empty when I came around 5pm.

Everything was fantastic! Speedy, accommodating, delicious- they even after us to give us an item we had forgotten! Great service.

It was interesting expierence! I love how the drinks and food comes out from a bullet train. The food was good. We ordered some suchi and noodles bowl. The place is clean. They also have garage parking under ground. I would come back again if I'm in the area again.

This place used to be Sakana Sushi and Grill and now replaced by Point Sushi. Point Sushi is the Bullet Train Sushi in Calgary and Maybe in Western Canada. I like this unique way of serving sushi. I have been to Japan and I have seen sushi or food items sent to customers this way upon ordering through an Ipad. I came on a Monday night after work around 5:30 pm. The restaurant was very quiet. There were only 3 other tables occupied in the entire restaurant. Food prices are the same at any Japanese Restaurant in Calgary. I ordered six items: saki nigiri, negitoro cone, vegetables tempura, maguro, salmon r-yu (this is not a common nigiri sushi outside of Japan. The first time I had it was in Osaka) and scallop. The bill came up around to $31 with tip and tax. I wasn't really full. All the sushi was a-la-carte and it adds up very quick. There are no combo available. I wished they had the different soy sauce like in Japan. An example is the sweet soy- definitely wished they had that. The sushi were pretty legit. Everything I ordered were very tasty and fresh. The tempura batter was very different and was super light. I liked everything except the tempura. Service was ok. The only service I got human interaction was when they came up to clear the plate and when I got seated down. Everything was pretty much self serve. Grab your own chopsticks, napkins, sauce dish and plate from above the bullet train tracks shelve. I do like the fact that I can see what items that I have ordered on the Ipad and the cost of my meal. Price will eventually end up more because it is a la carte style. Definitely a cool gimmick. Note the train can only hold four items each time. This mean you can only send 4 items to the kitchen each time.

I love coming to this place. A hop, skip and a jump away from Dragon City Mall, you'll find Point Sushi - one of the things that makes this place so interesting is their set-up. When you're seated, you'll notice a tablet at the table where you can order what you like (including your drinks) and once you've pressed your 'order' button, it's only a matter of a few short minutes before a little bullet train zips up to your table with your order! The interior of the restaurant is clean and classy with a modern-Japanese design and atmosphere, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the food is great! They have a nice variety of things to order even if you're not big on sushi. The only slight criticism I have is that for some of their spicy sushi rolls, they're topped with siracha rather than say, spicy mayo or volcano sauce, but that's just a personal nitpick. All and all, this is a place I like to take my friends and family for a fun, chill afternoon out, or to celebrate whatever life throws our way. If you find yourself hungry while you're taking care of business downtown, make time to swing by - you won't be disappointed.

Had a great dinner at Point Sushi. The food was great and my son loved that our food was served on a train. By far one of best sushi restaurants in Calgary that I've been to recently.

The bullet trains flying down the track is the best part, but the sushi was okay. Definitely a good place to bring visitors or younger kids. The non-sushi options were surprisingly good and I was happy with the udon.

Sushi via shinkansen in Chinatown, it's a fun experience to share with a group (especially with kids who like to order from the touchpad) altho food wait times took pretty long both times I've been here (so this won't work for people in a rush). The Shio Ramen is definitely worth it and I've found that the basic tuna nigiri or sashimi outdoes their other sushi items and rolls in terms of taste and quality, even compared to seared items. Their karaage pieces are huge, while their wings are just tiny. Free parking on weekends and limited to evenings on weekdays. Resos accepted.

This is a cool place to check out for the experience. This is only place in Calgary (probably all of Alberta?) that serves Japanese food via a bullet train. You order from an iPad and the food arrives relatively fast from the train. I found that some food is worth the price and some weren't . The items ranged from $3 to $13. From the items I ordered: Worth the price: Shio Ramen, Rolls (although the filling was small compared to the portion of rice) , Salmon Sashimi, Carbonara Udon, Snail Nigiri(really flavourful and chewy), choux a la creme coffee (cream puff) Not worth the price: Scallop (so small and did not look like the picture at all), Hotate Special (had no flavour)..I would be wary of most of the sashimi In conclusion, come to the place for the experience! The food was just above average. My bill came to around $60 for two people.

There food is absolutely amazing. I can't really say anything about people service because you can order from an ipad and your food comes through a train but the food wait time is 5ish minutes depending what u ordered, It's a very modern asian style which i like.

Great food and fun service! Enjoyed the train as well as the food. I would return back for the fun!

Cool concept for the bullet train arriving to your table! I came here for a date with my two best friends and we had such a fun time ordering everything we wanted from the iPad. We had to wait around 10 minutes for some water but it didn't really seem to bother us. Reasonable prices and good sushi. Staff were welcoming. I recommended this place for families and kids would have fun with the sushi arriving on a train!

So fast! & so gooooood!!! I would take anyone who's possibly new here or from Japan! Fun times, great food!

Obviously the cool thing about this restaurant is the food being served on a train. You order through an iPad. There are servers to help you. The service was ok. The place is pretty big and clean unlike the exterior which looks a bit sketch. Convenient that they have their own parking in the basement. The food was ok. Lots of varieties. Sushi and rolls were ok. Udon was pretty good. Just general Japanese place. This place is NOT an all you can eat. The pace of the food coming out was slow as everything functioned though the train. If you're looking for a place to stuff yourself this is not the place.

What!? Bullet Train sushi!??? So I was familiar with the conveyor belt sushi and that's totally fun. But this is rad for other reasons. Walk in and get seated by a hostess at your booth. Order from an iPad Mini, color photos of your food options, helpfully divided into categories, all with clear (and very inexpensive prices) costs. Submit your order and it'll arrive on a mini-bullet train powered by magnets! Order, and repeat until you're full. We had 4-5 rolls (they are all like 3-5 pieces each). Miso, seaweed salad, sashimi, Japanese hot tea, the works! All ordered from our table on an iPad and delivered via mini-train! Our waters were refilled by a server once or twice, aside from that we were totally left on our own. Oh! They have gluten free soy sauce that you request from the iPad. This was a really fun concept and it made ordering and eating evything that much more unique and fun. We giggled and smiled each time it showed up, gasping as it whooshed to a stop, we snapped pics of it in motion and as it arrived. Just a really cool idea. The sushi itself was good, nothing world shattering, but enjoyable and fun. Simple, quick to make, and easy to eat. We loved it. All in all we paid just under $50 for more food than we needed.

More of a 3.5, but extra point for friendly service and being the first sushi train restaurant in Calgary. I thought Point Sushi was on point - for being a fun, interactive dining experience. I'd recommend Point Sushi for anyone with kids. There are some booths that fit 8 kids or six adults as well as a large table with a rotating loop for sushi (no train though). I plan to return with my nephew. I know he'll love seeing the train zoom his meal over. I tried a little bit of everything. Ramen, sushi rolls, chicken wings, gyoza and tempura. The shrimp tempura was all batter. My favourite was the ramen - for six bucks I got a bowl full of al dente ramen, half an egg, char siu and some bamboo shoots. My ramen was only $5.99. The deep-fried crab roll was good - still warm soft shell crab with avocado and black tobiko. The sushi rice isn't as seasoned as other Japanese restaurants, like Red Ember or Zipang. Prices range from $2-$12. Go for the novelty of the sushi bullet trains and you won't be disappointed.

Best sushi downtown that I have had. It is well priced and fast (which is what you want for a lunch downtown). We had a variety of rolls and specialty rolls - all were made well (held together) and were full of flavour. The restaurant is very bright with lots of seating. The staff there were very friendly and helpful with showing us how to order. Will definitely be coming back!

Brought the fam and the kids loved it! Unique restaurant, good food and great service.

They have a unique delivery system....unfortunately it is crap.....sorry little portions ....sorry little dishes....but they come to you by a boat .....oh what fun...not! Ordering on the tablet is ok ..IF....you are sitting next to it....otherwise you have contort yourself to be able to see the menu.....which is full of the same old sesame old ..... Dont waste your money or your tim.

I was looking for a traditional sushi boat place on yelp and this place popped up. I love the sushi places where you can see the options roll by and take what looks good. This place the sushi is made at time of order and like others have said the prepared sushi shoots down to your table on a speed train. The photos and descriptions on the iPad are clear enough so you know what you're getting. As of Oct 2018, the prices are extremely reasonable. We ordered 14 items of sushi, two large beers, ice cream and a free side of spicy mayo and bill totaled $68.25. $18 of that was the two beers. The nigiri is the best, super thick cuts of fish, literally the largest I have personally ever had at a sushi place like this. I totally recommend this place. 5 stars.

Fun way to have your food served to your table by the bullet train! The sushi was super fresh, my roll was delicious, and the tonkatsu ramen was very tasty and just the right amount!

A pretty cool concept for a restaurant. This was our first experience at a restaurant where we had almost no contact with a server. We ordered at our table via an iPad which displayed the menu with pictures. The iPad would then pop up with a message letting us know our order is about to arrive and specify the dish. We would excitedly look up to see the bullet train whiz in with our food and drinks. This is a great restaurant to take the whole family. We had a lot of fun putting in our order and having the bullet trains deliver it to us. The booths located by the bullet train can comfortably seat six adults. We also noticed a big table set up, one that would be perfect to host a celebration/party.

Was craving sushi & happened to bump into this little joint. Pretty neat place. You order everything on a tablet & it comes on a ship!

This is a damn good place to go if you want sushi. My friends and I have never been to a sushi bar with a bullet train to give you your food, so we were in awe every time we ordered. The technology in this resultant is very cutting edge and is great if you want to post on social media. Regarding the food, there were a variety of things you can order and the philly roll is by far my favourite. The one flaw or "thing" that we noticed was that the service regarding the waiters and waitress' weren't very helpful which was a bit annoying when we had a question about ordering.

I loved it. The sushi was great. Maybe not the best ever ever but it was solid fresh delicious Sushi. I had a special roll with mango. It was so good. And some salmon sashimi. (sock eye was delish). The gyoza were great and the seaweed salad. Everything / food and tea was great. The kicker that I'll be back for is the super fun bullet train. When you decide you want more. You just sit and wait. 5-10 mins the train arrives. I love it. No one coming to ask or interrupt - you just sort it out and order what you want. No need to flag down the waiter or waitress. And like I said- the train is so much fun

Do you Iove sushi and trains? If so, go here! This is a technically innovative restaurant with almost no contact with wait staff. How does this work? You get a table, order food and drinks via the iPad on the table (there are pictures) and a pop-up message appears when items are to arrive via a train track. The train knows exactly where to stop. You remove your items from the train and the train returns to the kitchen. You can only order 4 items at a time. Therefore, a party of 4 who wants drinks, order that first and submit. As soon as it's submitted, you may begin ordering in succession. We started with crispy shrimp wonton cups which were awesome, an avocado tempura roll and yam roll. The iPad informs you how pieces are on a plate. For the shrimp cups, we ordered two = 4 pieces. Next up, gyoza, spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls. Chicken wings, salmon sashimi, seared tuna, pumpkin fritter. It was sooo good. The hot food is hot and the waiters will check on you to collect plates and ask if you require iPad help especially if it's your first time. Each table is equipped with napkins, chopsticks, plates and soy/wasabi mixing dishes above the train tracks. There are two tracks- upper and lower level. Each table has a hot water spout for topping up your tea. If you need help, there is a button on the iPad to call for a human to appear! At the end of your meal, you can select Pay on the iPad then follow the instructions. You will see an itemized list of everything you ordered and know the amount before paying at the till. I really enjoy this concept and would be great for date night or to entertain kids! Just keep your fingers off the train track!!!

Want the chance for a train to deliver you your food? Come to Point sushi! They have a nice iPad style system for you to order and then the food is delivered right to you, no interaction needed! And I will say the food is quite good as well! I wouldn't say it's the best sushi I have ever had but they have tons of good options as well as good hot food and dessert options. I would definitely recommend trying this place out if you like sushi, it's a cool experience!

Experience is cool for the first time but food is very basic nothing great. Had a really hard time ordering because they didn't have a big selection nor nothing was super appetizing. Wouldn't recommend this place for their food if you are looking for good sushi but can come here to experience the bullet train serving experience

Goup of 50 next to us. Our ears were bleeding when we left. 20 minute line up to pay. Never again.

It's a unique experience but horrible service. The girl was on her phone texting the whole entire time she was seating me and when she was taking my payment. Also there was hair on every dish I ordered!!! DISGUSTING AND NOT WORTH THE MONEY. I had to ask for wasabi because it didn't come with the food as well as she asked me for my slip when I went to pay and I didn't even get one.

Surprisingly good. I had expected the typical Canadian Kaiten Sushi, but not so. Nope, everything seems to be made to order, fresh and not dry. Can't see what is going on back there, but the food came out fast on the little trains. It's novelty, yes, but it is also good, fast and well priced. 3 things that are good in a lunch. I found the sushi rice a bit too sweet for my taste, so I like the sashimi best. Hotate is my go-to and it is really good as is the Hotate tobiko roll. Ditto the maguro. I love the neighbourhood and glad to see an Uobei copy in Calgary!

Really fun place to go for sushi, right in downtown so there are places to hang out after eating. Prices are good, and the bullet train concept is cool. Food wise, they were a little heavy on the rice, but overall pretty good sushi. Would definitely come again.

There is free parking underground in the parkade beside the restaurant. I have never been to Japan but apparently this bullet train sushi is inspired from Japan. It was my first time experiencing this unique concept and I thought it was a lot of fun and the food was decent. They have a self serve area for plate setting- plates, spoons, napkins, soy sauce dish etc. You order everything off the ipad- drinks, rolls, sashimi, hot food and it gets delivered on the train to your table. If you need any assistance servers were there to help you. I thought the beef udon, chicken yakisoba, takoyaki and the rolls we chose was really good. I would recommend to go as a couple of up to 4 ppl as most of the dishes came in either 2 or 4 pieces. Overall I thought it was good and would come back again.

They have great sushi here. The scallop, sweet shrimp, and salmon are incredibly fresh. Everything tastes great, and I haven't tried an order that I haven't liked from here - which is quite rare. I love the convenience of the iPad and the little trains. It's a fun idea, very easy to use, and a great marketing trick to attract customers. You pretty much do everything yourself from the moment you get seated, every now and again a server will clear your plates for you or bring something that isn't on the iPad (though that's rare, too, as even water is on the menu). The chopsticks, napkins, plates and sauce holders are all in little boxes above your head and they've even got take out boxes handy for when you need them. Love this place! Have been going back again and again, not just for the train feature, but because the sushi is really good here.

My husband and I have loved this place from the time it opened, especially since they still have our favorite dishes from when it was Sakana. We've taken our kids and extended family several times and they have also loved the food and experience. The kids especially enjoy ordering via iPad and having it arrive by the little trains. Highly recommend!

Great concept. Glad to have a train sushi place back in Calgary. Good sushi quality and tasty treats. Food quantity could be better but very decent for their first month in operation. Very friendly staff and very clean and bright space. We will definitely be back!!

Like any other users said, this is definitely a unique experience. Unfortunately, their food is what made me remove the two stars. The sushi rice is extremely sweet, making the rolls, cones and sushi not that great- the sweetness over powered all of the flavours and left a bad taste in my mouth. I will update this review when I try more of their hot foods.

Came here for lunch on a Friday with a friend, and was told to take a seat and wait. No time frame given, just "take a seat please". We proceeded to wait 20 mins with no updates given. My friend approached the server to ask how long it would be and was cut off before he finished his sentence, with "almost, almost". So we proceeded to wait twenty more minutes with no one else approaching us. We finally flagged down the other server, and asked if we were supposed to seat ourselves. She said let me talk to the manager, and returned to tell us that the wifi was down so they couldn't seat anyone or serve any food. After FOURTY FIVE MIINUTES of waiting. If something is wrong, at least give the customer the option to make a decision on whether they'd like to wait around or not. Very unprofessional.

Sushi is delicious! Prices seem low but when you're self ordering and train is serving, it's a great saving for the quality of sushi!

I'd like to commend CHRISTINE for being nice and helpful . Came here after a 30minute walk. It was my first and for sure not the last. She showed me how the menu works though I've done my first order already. I appreciate her willingness to show how the menu works and everything around the table, so in my next round order it didn't take me that much to figure out. She noticed I was eager to take a video of the mini bullet train so she offered to pull the train back from the start point so I can take a great clips. I had a ramen in my second order which she recommend. Sashimi, Yum fries, tuna tare-tare are what I go for in sushi house like this:) photos in my other phone

I loved the novelty of the monorail delivery service but the big win is the quality of the food - no gimmicks, just delicious.

Pros: Fun concept, delicious food, quick delivery on the bullet trains Cons: no wine by the glass or cocktails, reduced menu, fully modern Japanese bathroom (no toilet paper) Apparently it's a rebranding of Sakana Grill, but I think the previous restaurant was better.

Unique concept of sushi delivered on a bullet train. Very quick service. Size and quality of sushi was not bad. Not much service required as many items were order via iPad and delivered via the train.

A new Japanese restaurant opened in Calgary 'Point Sushi' bringing the idea of bullit train sushi to Calgary. This idea has been seen in a few cities already but is the first in Calgary. The atmosphere is spacious and are booth style tables, each side has a flat traveling panel (magnetic) where the train travels on to bring food to your table. You order your food through a tablet and the kitchen lays the beverage and foods on the train and the train travels and stops right in front of your table. The gimmick is fun and entertaining. The food.....The food was really good. We ordered a few items all served Tapas style. I found the food all had a sweetness to it. Perfect balance of savoury and sweet. We ordered the Gomae, wings, pumpkin croquette, squid legs, baked oysters, fresh scallops, tuna carpaccio, beef tataki and a few other tapas and sushi dishes. The interesting thing about this place is that all dishes has a slight sweetness to it, which complimented the dishes. I hope this place keeps their food standard to par, as per usual a lot of places tends to loose food quality as time pass. I am looking forward to eating here again.

Super awesome experience! The bullet train delivery of your sushi was so much fun! Plus the sushi itself was very delicious. Perfectly made! Ignore the fact that the outside of the building looks run down and grungy. Once actually inside the restaurant itself if very clean and modern. Definitely would recommend

Ordered a salmon roll and a yam roll which were both good and cheap. I'm giving 3 stars because we placed a delivery order and was notified 30 min after placing the order that no one was available to deliver the order and that we had to pick it up. We walked outside in the cold and they did not provide chopsticks, soy sauce or napkins which was disappointing.
