Located in Calgary’s East Village, our 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 not only just in the food but by the namesake of NUPO which is derived from her maiden name Nuponnen.
While 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.
The restaurant hosts the first counter service Omakase Sushi Experience in Calgary. Here you will be served 3 seasonal dishes, a sashimi tasting, and 12 courses of nigiri sustainably sourced from around the world. You will be served, piece by piece. Seating for this experience is offered by reservation only through Tock.
