Globefish Sushi & Izakaya

If your looking for a good sushi, this is the place. however it is a little pricey but the quality of food is good so i cant really
favourite is the rock and shrimp, i order it everytime i go here. Overall the sushi is really good. very friendly servers!

It’s an ok place for quick sushi. It’s good. But this place is pricey and suuuuper small so it takes forever to get a table. Could be a bit cleaner.

They have improved their menu since awhile back and I upped my rating. The lunch specials are really good! My favourite is the veggie box weekday lunch special. It is so good!!! I would eat it every day if I could. The service has been hit and miss but okay overall. The quality of the food is consistently good. The décor is pleasant. Globefish is a safe bet for a sushi meal but it can be pricey and it is in Chinook Mall so it can get very busy. I am glad they are there. One can get a lunch here comparable with food court prices but much better quality. One can also easily let loose and spend too much.

This is my go to restaurant for specialty sushi rolls. They have a lot of delicious combinations for the rolls. I like coming here because it doesn’t close between lunch and dinner so I can always eat sushi mid-​afternoon. One of the rolls I always order is the cats eye. It’s a deep fried roll with tuna sashimi on top. The manager is really friendly and the service is pretty good.

This guys are the bomb. One of my favorite places of sushi around the world. The tuna tataki and viva las vegas roll are super tasty. Place is pretty clean and staff very friendly. I always come back when visiting Calgary. Highly recommended.

OK. It was just ok. Stopped in for lunch on a weekday and were seated immediately. Drink and meal orders were taken quickly and then standards sort of relaxed…
Our order took a long time to come. In a small, not very busy place, that shouldn’t happen. When our lunch boxes came they were lukewarm. The portions were large for the price and things were tasty but would have been better hot.
It took a long time to flag a waitress down for the bill and we stood at the register waiting to pay for a while too.

I love love this place. This is where I go now since WA. S sushi closed down.
On Jun 30 before Canada day I decided to take my mom n dad there to celebrate my dad’s b day.
We were all excited then the rain came pouring.
We were eating our appetizer when the sewer backed up. I didn’t know yet since I was facing away from the kitchen. My mom said it smells like sewer and we heard some screaming we thought that the kitchen had a small fire. We were the only customers in there at the time.
Not even a minute when the water start creeping and our food was not ready by all means. Our kind server suggested to have it packed. I was determined to eat there. 3^rd world country that I came from… doesn’t bother me to eat around sewer water… that’s what I thought…
We brought it hope the dining experience to celebrate my dad’s b day was short lived. I was very disappointed coz none of us enjoyed our DOLLAR tea each person… still got charged… I know it’s not their fault however didn’t get any kind of breaks. I feel bad that it happened to them they have to close down the whole night and we went there at 3pm. I gave them 3 stars coz it seems like they don’t have contingency plan at place as well as how to make it up to the customer for cutting the dining experience… on top of which… later that night toilet was my BFF. …

Dining at the Chinook location is a consistently fantastic experience. Their quality music and unique interior design lends to its cool and comfortable ambience. Our server was perfect– very kind, knowledgeable and recommended a great roll to us. Globefish is definitely a new favourite!

Globefish is consistently just OK. They have a huge selection of rolls but I’m never wow’d by anything we order. Nothing has really stood out to me as my «favourite» or «amazing».
The place is also really small so you’re always going to have to expect some wait time. We’ll go if we’re at the mall and feeling like it but we won’t go out of our way to come here.

Dependable. Globefish isn’t spectacular but definitely a great place to get your sushi fix. The menu is pretty standard but the dishes are well executed.
Mentai Calamari…5 stars. Well seasoned bite-​sized strips of calamari served on a bed of chopped lettuce and drizzled with a spicy mayo sauce. The calamari is perfectly fried… a nice delicate crust and super tender (not chewy). My only gripe is the ‘80s presentation with the mayo sauce drizzled all over like a Van Halen guitar, but fortunately the plating did not take anything away from the taste.
Rock’n Shrimp…5 stars. A generous pile of bite-​sized shrimp served on a bed of chopped lettuce and a side of spicy mayo dressing. The shrimp are perfectly fried in a light batter and lightly seasoned, as well (a nice light crust and the shrimp were succulent). You can taste the horseradish or wasabi in the mayo sauce but I didn’t care for it… the shrimp, by themselves, were just as good as they’re already drizzled with two other sauces.
Dynamite Roll…5 stars. Small but tightly rolled sushi. One of the best looking dynamite rolls I’ve had the pleasure of trying… it’s simple but perfectly presented.
California Roll…5 stars. As with the dynamite roll, it’s small but tightly rolled. A nice portion of filling and evenly sliced. Just a well prepared roll.

The ambience of service don’t stand out but the sushi does. Every time I’ve ordered something from here it has been creative, fresh and delicious.
The location in Marda loop looks more gorgeous inside than this one does. It’s not a very romantic spot in my opinion despite the booths. it feels crammed in there. But let’s get back to the food.
The steamed shrimp dumplings were shrimp shumai. Really delicious, but I’ve never not eaten very delicious shrimp shumai.
I ordered the takoyaki because I always do when it’s on the menu. It always burns my mouth so be careful. Wherever you go. It looks gorgeous but this was the most disappointing appetizer I ordered at bluefish. The texture was great but the flavor was a bit boring.
Spicy tuna tacos. We need to talk about this. This was awesome. It is described as Japanese style tacos with spicy tuna, avocado, tomatoes and green onion. Ours came with mango. it was really good. Two and a plate, one for each of us and tasted fresh, delicious and satisfying.
We ordered many rolls and they were fine. Things like spicy tuna and sashimi. But really what stuck out in our minds was the special roll called cat’s-eye.
Cat’s-eye was described in the menu as salmon, prone tempura and avocado encrusted in flaky Panko. It’s topped with chunks of spicy tuna sashimi and garnished with tobiko and green onion. It looked gorgeous and it tasted amazing.
For good sushi I will return to Globefish.

Service was extremely slow, took forever to be seated and to pay.
Was not impressed with the sushi at all. There was way too much rice on everything

New menu is superb. Food is better than ever. Creative, colorful presentation and delicious flavor combinations. It would be 5 stars if they could stop the cold air from blasting in every time the door opens. Décor is good enough for a casual dining experience, the focus is right where it should be, on the food.

Excellent dishes and a good price.
The service was much faster than I expected, the food very good and the atmosphere very pleasant. Will definitely be coming back.

Globefish at Chinook Mall in Calgary, Alberta never disappoints. Today our waiter was friendly and efficient but once he knew we were in a bit of a time crunch he stepped up and got our drinks & food pronto! My sashimi salad was so light and tasted amazing with the wasabi mayo dressing on top of crispy noodles. My son had the order of Rainbow Rolls but after one just had to have another because they’re just that good! Three times is a charm! But I’ll be back many more times!

I’ve always had good sushi at this location. It’s not the best sushi I’ve ever eaten, but their rolls are creative and usually well made. Service is friendly and prompt, though they don’t check on you too often, so make sure you have everything you need when you order! I’m a sucker for the Crazy Buster Roll and their Crispy Tuna Roll, those ones are always a good bet. Definitely a good place to go to after a long day of shopping, and if you want something that isn’t in the food court.

Forewarning: this review should be considered in relation to the service only. I’d never had sushi before this trip, and haven’t since so I have no frame of reference for the quality of the food, and I’ve come to decide that it’s definitely not my food of choice, but for someone who knows what they’re getting and is on better terms with the fare, it would likely be a far better experience.
From the moment we walked in, until we left, we were met by big smiles and speedy service. Everybody from the greeter at the door to the server to the guy who cleared our table at the end was an absolute treat. They did seem minorly amused by my lack of experience with the things they were serving or how to go about eating it, but in a very friendly way.
The location itself is small, and I could see how, if it was really busy, this could be a problem, but when we were there it had a very intimate feel that was great for a date setting. My date was a big sushi eater and she seemed to enjoy everything we had, and assured me that for the ammount of food we got — a plate of dumpling-​like appetizer things I can’t remember how to spell or even pronounce, two platters of sushi and a pot of tea — the price we paid was very reasonable.
I feel strange writing a review of a place without having any way to know if the food would pass muster with a sushi eater or not, which is why I’m holding back the fifth star, but in every other respect this was a very positive experience.

Great menu. Huge selection. Almost makes ordering my dinner Mission Impossible!
Ended up choosing the Vegetable Fantasy and the Mt. Fuji Roll.
Veg Fantasy is something different. The avocado and asparagus and yam and the tomato and the special sauce makes it all so interesting. I don’t love it but it was pleasant.
But what will probably bring me back time and time again is the Mt. Fuji Roll. This is just too delicious. Avocado + Salmon + more avocado + smoked salmon + cream cheese topping = SUCCESS.
Their Japanese green tea is very aromatic and flavourful. None of the watered down or cheap stuff. This is so pleasant.
Overall ambiance is nice too. Good for going with family, friends, or on a dinner date.

I finally found a place for fresh sushi in Calgary… I really liked this place!.. I cannot give them less than 5 stars… the service was very friendly and fast!.. even on a friday night with all the tables occupied!.. The sushi was very very fresh… and all the dishes I tried were delicious… With a very beautiful presentation as a plus!
The location is beautiful!.. and the ambience is great if you are in the chinook mall and do not want to go somewhere else and have a good food, this is an excellent option…
In addition, I found the place inexpensive…

Worst service ever !!! I won’t be going back to this location for a very long time, I even gave them an opprtunity to redeem themselves.
My wife, kids & I were hungry for lunch today so we asked our son (His B-​Day) where he wanted to go. He said he wanted to go for Japanese, so we suggested Japanese Village, at first then thought it might be too busy. We ended up at Globefish (Chinook Centre location).
It started out a little shakey, right off with taking our drink orders. We ended up getting 8 glasses of water for the 4 of us. When we originally asked for water & tea, another waitress came by and asked us what we wanted to drink. We told her we already asked for water. I guess she took that as we wanted water from her as well.
Then approx. 5min passed, and another waitress came by and took out food order. It was very simple a chicken teriyaki roll for my son, my wife orderded chicken teriyaki appetizer with a small salad, also yam tempura, and 2 extra bowls of rice. Oh yeah, I had a tempura don rice bowl.
What really started to irratate us was my wife’s meal comes out first, after waiting about 10−15min. Then 20 min pass, my sons chicken teriyaki roll comes out, 5 more minutes the two bowls of rice come out. Now after all that time passes everyone has eaten, and my wife asks the waitress where my meal. and the yam tempura is. The waitress never comes back to tell us. Then the yam tempura comes out. I ask a different waitress where my tempura don rice bowl is. (Now bear in mind 40 minutes has now gone by, and the rest of my family has now eaten) The waitress comes back 2 – 3 minutes later, and says it will be a few more minutes. I tell her to forget the meal and take it off the bill.
She apologizes and thats it. No offer to discount the bill NOTHING !!! no offer on a return visit.
We ask for the cheque, and that takes an additional 5 minutes. That could feel like an eternity when you’re pissed off and haven’t had anything to eat. The waiter, that brought over the wireless debit/​credit machines asked how our meal was. I told him it was terrible, and that I didn’t even get my meal. I asked if there was a manager around to talk to and he said yes. Guess who it was, it was one of the «waitresses» serving us that apologized for not getting my food. I could see him pointing at our table from a distance, she just turned around and ignored us so we walked out.
VERY DISAPPOINTED !!!
