Globefish Sushi Kensington — Restaurant in Calgary

Globefish Kensington is the BEST Globefish in Calgary; don't even bother going to the other ones who have different menus, less options for allergies, and worse service.

At Globefish Kensington I have had nothing but consistently AMAZING, INCREDIBLE service from their staff. They're always so friendly and personable, and every time I've ordered from them they've gone above and beyond normal expectations.

I've mostly done take-out. One time it was a hot day and I was riding my bike. I have a large cooler bag I can strap to the rear rack. I ordered a large platter plus many other additional dishes to take to a family member's house. The Globefish staff, instead of putting the platter order in the wide container usually used for take-out platter orders, separated the rolls into smaller containers for me so I could load everything into my cooler bag.

Another time, and the only time I ordered through Door Dash, I was having a hard day. When I made the order, in the special request box I asked for, "as much extra ginger as is reasonable. I had a hard day and need to drown my sorrows in pickled root vegetable." BOY. Did the wonderful Globefish staff pull through. They sent me a ludicrous (but good) amount of extra ginger. I LOVE yellow pickled ginger and I've been finding it hard to find at the Asian markets. With the amount they sent me I was able to save the remainder in the fridge for later.

I am a celiac. Globefish Kensington has never failed to ensure my meals are gluten free and safe from cross contamination. They are one of a very few sushi places that actually have GLUTEN FREE TEMPURA, which is delicious and incredible and makes me very happy.

Yesterday I went for dine-in. They followed the Covid restrictions perfectly without making the experience itself feel sterile. They were still incredibly friendly and happy even though I can only imagine the difficulties and stress they face with the new restrictions. Jesse (male server) was so bubbly and friendly. One of the friends I was with is also a celiac, and Jesse made sure the kitchen knew of our very serious condition.

When we left Jesse gave me a to-go container of ginger, and even though I insisted, he didn't charge me for it.

To Business Management of Globefish Sushi & Izakaya,

I and my Chinese companions are a bunch of happy early retirees and regular customers patronizing your restaurants for the past two years at all locations in Calgary.

Recently we had the most negative luncheon experience visiting your Kensington location on a Thursday when we received the most unfriendly and unwelcoming treatment by the Chinese-speaking server.

The incident took place when we finished our lunch and briefly shared a tiny “moon-cake” with my Chinese lunch-mates as our celebration of the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. Not only your staff member was showing her disrespect to her fellow countrymen and her zero appreciation of Chinese culture and rituals, her using of harsh language conversing with them and her body gestures clearly demonstrated her mean-spirited nature and her discriminating demeanor towards Asian customers in general even this Japanese customer can relate.

As your fellow countryman, I would like to draw your special attention to this incident as area of improvement to your business. Although we will continue visiting your restaurants, may I suggest your immediate correction and disciplinary actions? A sincere apology from business management or an obvious change of attitude greeting Asian customers by this particular staff member on our next visit will suffice.

On behalf of my Chinese friends, should there be no improvement after this citing, it is my intention launching our campaign against your business through major social media and publications of restaurants critics in Calgary to express our displeasure over...

Globe Fish, Globe Fish, Globe Fish. You have done it again. I tried Globe Fish for the first time on the recommendation of my brilliant therapist, who I have been seeing for almost two years now. Throughout that time, she has recommended practices and habits that have transformed my life. The recommendation of Globe Fish, however, transcends even the most life-altering of her suggestions. This was my associate and I’s second time in the glorious, warm, and welcoming atmosphere of Globe Fish Kensington, and we were far from disappointed. In fact, the only real disappointment about this restaurant is the fact that our bodies become full and we cannot eat any more of the delicacies that it beholds. We ordered a drink each, along with the pork gyoza, assorted tempura, alaska roll, autumn roll, and yam tempura roll. While all of the dishes were a pleasure for the senses, the gyoza and the autumn roll, I daresay, made me see God (I am an atheist). I know little about pork beyond what my tastebuds care to share, and what they whispered to me over our meal this evening was something I had never heard before. Though filling, tasty, and deliciously flavoured, the pork gyoza is light and soft in an almost flirtatious way. And the autumn roll. To have such an eloquent and harmonious mixture of textures and flavours in my mouth all at once was akin to feeling the love of another for the first time. Long story long, Globe Fish is THE place to go for sushi that will transform not only your day, but also your life one...
