It’s been a hot minute since we got an update on Calgary’s first Hello Nori location, but now, we finally have details on an opening date.

Last summer, Hello Nori, Canada’s premier hand roll bar, confirmed that its first Calgary outpost is in the works. But now, its opening date is officially set for Friday, April 24.

“From Vancouver to Toronto, and now Calgary. This next chapter means everything to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the bar,” Hello Nori said in an Instagram post.

Known as Canada’s “premier hand roll bar,” Hello Nori’s restaurant draws inspiration from the forests of the Pacific Northwest, featuring a sculptural wooden ceiling — a touch that has become synonymous with the restaurant.

Diners in Calgary will soon be able to try Hello Nori’s menu of 16 different varieties of hand rolls, featuring options such as bluefin tuna, snow crab, truffle lobster, and Hokkaido scallop.

Each roll is handcrafted to order, ensuring the nori remains crisp and the rice remains warm. They’re available a la carte or as set menus of four, five, or six rolls.

The new YYC outpost forms part of Hello Nori’s aims to open 20 restaurants across Canada, with several already open in B.C. and Toronto.
