Nupo Menu Prices Canada 2026: Calgary Omakase $165, Culinary Journey $125 and Add-Ons
Nupo menu prices Canada are $165 per person for the Omakase Sushi Experience and $125 per person for the Culinary Journey Tasting Menu, both prepaid. Add-ons run $20 to $250. All prices are CAD. Prices last verified: October 24, 2026.
Here is the thing. Nupo is not a place you wander into for a quick plate of sushi. It is a tasting-menu room in Calgary’s East Village, run by Nupo Calgary chef Darren MacLean, with a Nupo Calgary omakase counter seating six and a menu that changes with what the kitchen can get. I have not booked the counter yet. My pick, when I do, would be the omakase at $165, because 17 to 20 courses at a counter that small is the whole point of the room. Is it a lot of money? Yes. No getting around that. But it is priced like a special night, not like a Tuesday dinner, and this guide prices it that way. If you are comparing Calgary fine dining before you commit, the Akira Back menu prices page covers another Japanese fine dining table worth a look.
Nupo Menu Prices Canada: The Tasting Menus
Nupo Calgary menu prices work differently from a normal restaurant menu, so let me say it plainly up front. There is no published a la carte price table. Nupo serves tasting menus. The price table is the tasting structure itself. That is not a gap I am papering over. The restaurant’s OpenTable listing says it offers a carefully curated a la carte menu for tables of up to six, but it publishes no a la carte prices anywhere I could verify, so this guide names no a la carte figures. Guessing them would be worse than leaving them out.
| Item | Price (CAD) |
|---|---|
| Nupo Omakase Sushi Experience (7-Movements of Omakase, 17-20 courses, 6-seat counter) | $165.00 per person |
| Nupo Culinary Journey Tasting Menu | $125.00 per person |
Nupo Menu Card Canada
The card below is a render of the verified tasting prices above, because no genuine current menu-card photo exists and the official site posts its menu as a text PDF, not a menu-card image. Every current price on it matches the table above. Add-on figures on the card come from the March 2026 official PDF, as labelled on the card itself.
One honest price note, because the old number is still floating around. The official March 2026 menu PDF listed the Culinary Journey at $80 per person. That number is out of date. The current brand-managed price is $125, confirmed across several OpenTable listings and by a diner review dated August 30, 2026 that calls the Culinary Journey $125 per person. This guide uses $125. Do not trust the $80 figure if you see it quoted elsewhere.
Nupo Calgary Omakase Price and the Culinary Journey
Nupo Calgary omakase price is $165 per person, prepaid, for 17 to 20 courses at a custom-built 6-seat sushi counter. The chef adjusts the courses in real time. Rare imports from Japan sit next to Canadian seafood: Newfoundland uni, PEI bluefin tuna, New Brunswick sturgeon caviar, dry-aged Canadian bluefin tuna. That mix is the draw, in my opinion. You are paying for the counter, the imports and the pacing, not for a big plate you can point at.
Nupo Calgary tasting menu fans usually mean one of two things, and the cheaper one is the Culinary Journey at $125 per person, prepaid. Substitutions are politely declined on it, which tells you how set the menu is. The March 2026 PDF gives a feel for the shape of the food, though dishes change with availability: mussels Rockefeller to start, hiramasa sashimi, roast nasu eggplant, a BC spot prawn chawanmushi, five courses of nigiri, sablefish toro unagi-don, and a sake and roses dessert. Treat that as the shape of the menu, not a promised list. If a fixed list is what you need before booking, call the restaurant. If you are weighing another omakase-style room first, the Shoushin menu prices page covers a Toronto omakase table with its own price structure.
Nupo Omakase Calgary
Small plates. That is the warning worth giving, and it comes from diners, not from me guessing. One August 30, 2026 diner left hungry after the $125 journey plus a $25 supplement. Portions are tasting-menu small by design. So go hungry, or plan on add-ons. A $125 menu that leaves you stopping for food on the way home is not a bargain, no matter how good the courses were. My favourite way to think about it: budget the menu, then budget one supplement you actually want, and treat that as the real price of the night.
Nupo Calgary Add-Ons: What the Supplements Cost
Nupo Calgary add-ons below come from the official March 2026 menu PDF, with one exception worth flagging. The $25 sablefish toro supplement is also confirmed by that August 30, 2026 diner review, so it carries more weight than the rest of the list. The other add-on figures are listed PDF figures, not freshly re-confirmed current prices, and this guide says so rather than dressing them up as verified today. The two current tasting prices above are the only figures verified at full strength.
| Add-On (March 2026 official PDF) | Price (CAD) |
|---|---|
| Sablefish Toro Unagi-Don supplement (also confirmed August 30, 2026 diner review) | $25 |
| Hokkaido Uni add-on nigiri | $38 |
| Canadian Crab Gunkan add-on nigiri | $35 |
| N.S. Lobster add-on nigiri (limited availability) | $22 |
| Fresh Black Truffle add-on (2g) | $20 |
| Supercello on ice | $38 |
| Caviar add-on (5g) | $50 |
| Ossietra Caviar service (30g, nori blini, chicharron, creme fraiche, chopped egg, yuzu peel) | $250 |
The $250 caviar service is the outlier, obviously. It is a full service, not a single bite, and it belongs in the special-occasion column, not the weeknight column. The $20 truffle and $22 lobster are the easy adds. Small money next to a $125 or $165 menu, and they change a course without changing the night. Anyway, add-ons are where a tasting menu quietly gets expensive, so pick one before you sit down. Deciding at the table, hungry, is how a $125 night becomes a $200 night.
Planning Your Visit: Nupo Calgary Reservations, Hours and Location
Nupo Calgary reservations run through OpenTable, where both tasting experiences are listed as prepaid, and party size for the experiences is 1 to 6 people. Book early. A 6-seat counter does not leave room for walk-in luck. Nupo Calgary hours are Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm, and Friday and Saturday 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm. The restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday, so do not plan a Monday tasting night. Nupo Calgary East Village sits at 631 Confluence Way SE, Calgary, AB T2G 0G1, inside the ALT Hotel East Village in downtown East Village. Phone: (587) 353-1388. The Central Library LRT stop is a 4-minute walk away, and the hotel has parking. Dress code is smart casual, the room is casual elegant, and the dining room leans modern and nature-inspired, with birchwood accents and shou sugi ban-treated pine. OpenTable lists the room at CAN$51 and over per person, and its ratings sit around 4.7, with the room holding OpenTable Icons status for 2024, 2025 and 2026. Those are review-aggregator figures, not this site’s rating. Do not confuse Nupo with afterEIGHT, the separate speakeasy bar at the same address. Different concept, different listing, and none of its prices belong in this guide.

Is Nupo Calgary worth it for a special occasion?
In my opinion, yes, if you go in knowing what it is: a small-plates tasting experience, not a big-entree dinner. Budget for the $125 or $165 menu plus any add-ons, and book early because the omakase counter seats only six. If you want another Calgary special-occasion table to compare, the Chop Steakhouse Bar menu prices page covers a Calgary steakhouse with its own price structure.
So, is Nupo worth the money? For a special night, yes, in my opinion, with eyes open. Nupo menu prices Canada are $165 for the omakase and $125 for the Culinary Journey, and the honest total is the menu plus one supplement you actually want. Book the counter early, go hungry, and treat the $80 figure from the old PDF as history. A small room, a 6-seat counter and Canadian seafood next to Japanese imports is a combination worth one proper night out.
