    Very good sushi! Quality fresh fish, creative and unique rolls, along with the classics, all done very well. We were seated right away, our order came out quite quick, and staff was quick to refill water and check on us. Very pleased with everything. I will be coming back!

    The fish looks strange on these nigiri. Why are they so big and falling apart? Are these really sushi or just slap a large raw fish on rice? Not worth it.

    My partner surprised me with a beautiful custom sushi platter from Sushi Bistro for my birthday. I loved it so, so much. David was very accommodating and helped my partner create what he was envisioning. Every item was so fresh, delicious, abundant, and visually stunning! Would highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you, Sushi Bistro!

    Very good sushi. The fish was fresh and the rolls were very well made. They weren't super saucy (thank you) and had great flavor. Will definitely be returning.

    Our waiter was very friendly, explained the menu and helped us choose a great sake. Uni, rolls and sashimi were very fresh and tasty.

    This was exactly what I was hoping for: reasonably priced sushi that was delicious and fresh as well as a fun atmosphere. The Uni was the best I have had in a while!

    We ordered two rolls and the double jeopardy tartare and everything was delicious, fresh, and good sized. The service was also excellent. It was a particularly hot day and they checked in regularly to refill our waters which was greatly appreciated.

    One of my all time favorite sushi joints! I used to live in the area and go here all the time. My husband and I moved across country and back again but to a different city, went in recently and they remembered us! So crazy! The staff is incredibly nice and the food ... Omg. Favorite dishes are the Double Jeopardy, Poke Salad, and the Hawaiian Roll. There are plenty of other delicious options too, like the lettuce wraps and many other rolls. My mouth is watering just thinking about it haha. They also sometimes have Toro (it can be hard to get), which is something for all sushi lovers to have at least once and will leave you wanting more. 🍣

    Love this place. Great sushi, reasonably priced, and we’ve never had a long wait. We love the monster in law roll and the veggie udon.

    This place is amazing - some of the best sushi I have had in the city or anywhere actually. The persons Dave and Jimmy are the most nice and accommodating people that I have experienced in a while and they hustle so hard to make everyone happy. My kids enjoy coming here as well. Also the amount of delicious fresh fish that they serve is incredible. The edamame is perfectly cooked (not too steamed and not too hard my kids ate three bowls of it last time). Fortunately/unfortunately, its a block away from our house so I eat here entirely too often but I can't help it :) They have a great sake list and I love their pinot noir. I love this place all around!

    My experience with their Omakase was really good. Sashimi were very fresh. Current price as of December 1, 2022 is $47 for 10 pieces. Service was super. You better make reservation. But the bar table seems not busy when we were there a few days ago.

    Truly a hidden gem of a sushi spot! Everything we ordered was fresh and so delicious. Couple with fast and friendly service, we will absolutely be coming back! Don’t pass up on the Red Devil roll or the Sexy Scallop roll!

    The service is perfect and the outdoor seating is wonderful. However the food is just OK esp for the price. Tempura was very greasy, spider crab was not fresh tasting.

    We went yesterday. Sushi was sooo fresh and good, miso soup was amazing as well and I loved it ! Deserts were soooo good as well. My only wish is that they upgraded their tea game!
