TLDR: one of my favs, must try for Banff
This sushi restaurant has a very special place in my heart. Everything here is so good and fresh, service is very friendly. My favorite is the giant scallop roll!
Preferred this place for lunch during my visit to the lovely town Banff. This outlet is located near Banff avenue, next to Banff tea company. Ambience was pretty decent. The service was lovely 😊.
We ordered Raman noodles, salmon fish, crab roll, sushi rice 🍣 and octopus 🐙!!!
Well this is the first am rendering my taste buds with very much scantily cooked sea food!! Indeed tried sushi bistro to get into this and I loved.. the octopus 🐙 was the scene stealer!! It was pretty much raw and were laced with chilli sauce and ginger!!! It was fleshy and tasty 😋
Salmon fish was ok, crab roll 🦀 was good. Raman noodles was perfectly blended with spices and the soupy texture gave the exact lilt!!
When you are heading to Banff, don’t miss to try sushi bistro!!!
Sushi was great, service was extremely friendly. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. The prices are also fantastic, we had 3 kinds of sushi, and an appetizer for $21. You can't go wrong.
I'm surprised at the negative reviews. My daughter and I went here for lunch, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The sushi was fresh and yam tempura was very tasty. The sushi was NOT huge and heavy- which is good. Finally, fresh bite-sized pieces. The spicy tuna was done the way it should be - without being slathered with sriracha mayo, just sriracha. Much better that way. The service was great and very quick/polite. I'm sorry to see the negative reviews, as we thought it was great.
If I have time while visiting Banff alone this is the place I head to for a quick meal. The sushi is not the best I've had but it's still pretty good and well priced. The location is cozy and the service is always very friendly.
Rolls. Good sushi for a good price. Fast and friendly service!

Affordable Sushi & Entrees, Sub-par Service, but quality of food is there. Sushi Bistro is a little hard to find with its lighting interior, and it being tucked away between Bear Street and Banff Avenue (but is located on Caribou Street, near Touloulou’s & Banff Tea Company). The quality of the sushi is good, and the sashimi is at a great price of 5 pieces for $6. Husband and I also recommend their Sake Bomb drink variations (we had the Ninja, and I had the Snow) for the delicious and pleasing notes to the tongue (these are $6 a glass). The service is not the best, but it is decent and certainly not the worst in Banff. Their food looked affordable too. FYI: If you want to give Sushi Bistro a try, when first going through the entrance, walk further into the restaurant – it’s hard to see any customers near the entrance because of the way the restaurant is spaced, so this will ensure you get seated right away and don’t have to wait!
Sushi bistro came highly suggested by our hotel, so we plain and simply decided to go. This is where the story gets interesting. We arrived at 630pm our first night and placed a large order for assorted rolls and tempura, two other tables where seated after we arrived and ordered after we did. We did not receive our food on this visit after a 45 minute wait in which both tables seated after had ordered, received food and finished. We approached our server who seemed confused but the language barrier didn't seem to give us a answer as to why our food never came. We left both very disturbed by what just occurred. After thinking it through we thought we would give it a second chance the next day, we did not see the same server again and it appeared she was not working that day. We ordered the same items and we had no issue and the food arrived quickly and was good! We would return again, and will be very aware of our service on the next visit. Sometimes second chances are worth it. Just be sure your order has been placed and isn't taking 45 minutes to arrive. All in all, not bad and decent sushi.
Very fresh, n the price is so cheap
Forget those Korean/Canadian all you can eat sushi joints, this is the real deal! I had the best sashimi outside of Maui, absolutely a must try
Hands down one of the best sushi restaurants I've ever been to.
The staff are amazing, the food is so fresh and you get a lot for your money.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant 5 stars.
One of the best sushi restoran. Everything what we ordered was fresh and delicious! Server was nice, order came quickly, definitely will come again. 🙂
Amazing spot, great fresh fish and good size. Service was lovely, would recommend for sushi lovers. Open later too, until 9:30. Great for a full meal or small snack. Pair with the warm sake!
Best sushi experience in banff friendly server, quick and delicious.
I will definitely come back next visit.
One of the best sushi I've ever had. Really friendly staff and good prices!
The food here is really good, and reasonably priced. Service was a little slow, but not too unreasonable with how busy it was.
I called this place making a $160 order thinking they were in Calgary.
After walking into the wrong sushi place here in Calgary, I realized I made the order in banff
The place I went to here in Calgary suggested calling them and paying a fee given it’s not fair.
I called and the lady who helped me laughed and said it happens all the time and that it’s ok
I then offered to pay $20 and she put me on hold to asked the manager.
She returned to the call and said that it’s ok
Will definitely go when in banff
