   Excellent food and service, the only down side was the volume of the music made it difficult to hear the chef explaining each dish.

   Quite disappointed with the omakase experience. The bar side seats were next to the kitchen which provided lots of noise of dishes clanging. Honestly felt like we had the worst seat in the house. Overall the ambiance did not feel like a high end restaurant which was disappointing on our anniversary. We had a lunch at Craft earlier we were surprised to find a card on the table wishing us a happy anniversary as they noticed it on Open table. It was not even acknowledged at Nupo, even after sharing why we were there. They did however take care of a drink as there was shell in my one oyster which was nice. Otherwise, truly did not feel like a special “experience” but just a regular meal sat at the bar. The chef did not interact with us outside of dropping the food in front of us with a quick romance. The food was good but not worth the price with veryyyy small portions, leaving us hungry after a $500+ bill. We definitely wish we just sat at a table and ordered a la carte. The highlight of the meal was our server who did a great job and recommended great drinks.

   Being our first time, we decided to keep it simple and went with the tasting menu and the pairing of various sakes. We were not disappointed! Each course was stunning and presented beautifully and the combination of ingredients made for some amazingly tasting dishes. The whole experience made for a great night. It's not cheap but I wouldn't say it's overpriced. Pretty good value for what you get overall. I will definitely be back.

   Amazing, creative vegetarian dishes and melt-in-your-mouth fish. The servers are knowledgeable and attentive and really add to the experience. One of my favourite restaurants in Calgary for sure!

   Nupo is such a fantastic place. Great food, service and ambience. The menu changes, keeping things interesting and fresh. Every dish is so carefully thought and delicious. Everything we ate was delicious. Service is fantastic. Server explained how things work, gave us suggestions, guided us, food kept coming and wonderfully explained every dish. Would certainly keep coming back.

   We did the Omakase and every bite was delicious and perfect. Fresh and flavourful and impressive how they blend traditional Japanese techniques with local Canadian ingredients. Love that Nupo supports local farmers. Can’t wait to be back!
