Overrated and fell well below expectation. Some locals recommended this place and I gave Hiro a shot, but I wasn't impressed at all. Service was very slow. If it wasn't for our friendly and apologetic waitress, we may have just walked out. It took about 10-15 minutes just to order our drinks and 10 minutes later my drink came out, but my friend's soda was never delivered. It ended up being about 30 minutes between ordering a Coke and actually receiving it. My mojito was far too sweet and weak. How about the food? The vegetarian selection is poor and that's putting it lightly. In the vegetable section of the menu, one plate has beef, one has chicken and a third has eggs. Only tofu with vegetables was vegan. When it came out and I tried it, I was very disappointed. Soft, silken tofu that wasn't cooked at all. The plate overall was lukewarm and the sauce lacked flavor. A $13 dish that could have been replicated with more flavor for $4. My friend had some assorted sushi and she seemed indifferent about the food, neither thrilled nor upset. Going back to drinks, they didn't have sake glasses. Really? This caused a huge stir for other guests and escalated to an argument with the manager. I'm not sure how a Japanese place of this level and prestige doesn't have proper drinkware for sake. Prices were what you'd expect for a higher-end Japanese restaurant, generally $15-20 for entrees and about 10 bucks for a drink. Overpriced given the quality for sure. Maybe it's an OK sushi place for Nebraska, but I wasn't impressed at all. read more

This was the only sushi place that appeared to be open downtown, their hours were not updated. We showed up a few minutes prior to their actual closing time and were told that they were closed. Normally I absolutely wouldn't complain about it, but it was two hours before their listed closing time. I'm rating it this way because they've had a few months to update their website, and haven't. This was the only restaurant that had options for me and it was a let down. read more

We came here for a friends birthday. We all ordered drinks and food off the happy hour menu (Jalapeño marg not HH). Was very pleased with all the food- both taste and presentation. The customer service was severely lacking and it took 10+ minutes to get our drinks from the bar. It wasn't busy and our server seemed to be avoiding the table most of the time so I'm guessing that's what took so long. Other than that, would recommend! read more

Hiro 88 - Sweet Chili Crab Roll, jalapeño Margarita - Sushi Bars Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I am an out of town visitor and frequent Hiro88 about once a month during business travels. I don't make many reviews- however the service I received from Shane was the best. He's a friendly bartender, great attitude, and went above and beyond with our food selection and drink service. I would recommend getting the steamed gyoza here as they are packed with a lot of flavor. The Asian short ribs, wasabi stinger, west coast rolls were excellent as well. Overall good relaxed atmosphere at the bar. read more

I've frequented Hiro 88 at this location a couple times now. There's a lot of great sushi options in Omaha and this is one of them. They do happy hour 3-6:30pm Monday - Friday and 3-6pm Saturday. On Sunday it's all day. Reverse happy hour 10pm-12am Friday and Saturday. So plenty of opportunity to take advantage of their happy hour deals which includes drinks and food. We went last night for happy hour- got 4 alcoholic drinks, 2 appetizers and 2 sushi rolls for around $50. Pretty reasonable prices if you ask me - especially in the Old Market area. The food quality is good - nice and fresh. I will say they could do a better job with social distancing with their inside dining - the restaurant got pretty packed at one point. They do require masks when you enter though and there's a sign stating this. Plenty of outdoor patio seating as well. read more

I have been a fan of the original Hiro Sushi on 129th and Maple for 4+ years. When they opened their trendier Hiiro 88 location in the old market, I could not be happier (this means everyone gets to drink and walk/cab home since we all live nearby, an no one has to be the DD) the quality of the food is the same, and the ambiance is very very nice. The happy hour times are generous and readily available. Visit their website for the most recent updates on that. Hiro 88 is the type of place I frequent a 2-5 times a month, so obviously I am a fan. It had taken me a while to review it because to me, it is like other staples in life. Would you take the time to explain and review why you like your favorite teddy bear? you just DO. Hiro 88= comfort and style. oh, and awesome food and prices. read more

This used to be one of our favorite spots, but the service and the food has gone downhill. Last time we visited I got one of my favorites Brussel sprouts, they were so over grown they looked and tasted like stems. Fast forward to tonight, I ordered take out. I ordered asparagus beef, when I got home there was no rice, and crab Rangoon which did not have any sweet and sour sauce. I understand there is a shortage of workers, but I should not have to pay $41 for a meal that is incomplete or inedible. So disappointing. read more

Excellent service tonight by Brian. Incredible salmon sashimi recommendation and I tried the eel sashimi on a lark and it was incredible! Very nice that we can buy a bottle of saki to go. Can't wait to come back. read more

Hiro 88 - Rock & roll sushi, salmon sashimi, eel sashimi, and red snapper sashimi. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

A popular sushi place in downtown Omaha that most people frequent late at night for their Reverse Happy Hour Menu (10PM-Closing). I've probably come only once or twice during regular hours, but man is it worth it during happy hour. The sushi is pretty decent. It is tasty but could be better. My favorite things to order are the Spicy Tuna, Spicy Salmon, Negi Hamachi and Rainbow Roll. Another favorite of mine is the Hamachi Kama, just be sure to ask for an extra bowl of rice with it! I usually come with my friends during Reverse Happy Hour and we all order ($7.50) sake bombs. Included in a sake bomb is a 25oz can of Kirin Ichiban Beer and an 8oz bottle of sake with a plastic cup. To just hang out with friends, enjoy a drink and have a great time, this is the place! I can admit that sometimes we get a little more rowdy than normal, but the staff at Hiro is always very polite and offers great service! read more

Sushi is wonderful here. My only complaint is that they started using a really low quality asparagus in their steak roll. As a chef myself, I get it... Sometimes the order comes in and somethings funky, you roll with it and do better next time. Should you try it? Absolutely. read more

This place has an ample amount of seats. Service is great too. Sunday's they have happy hour all day and they have a great selection of items on the menu that you can choose from. Even with happy hour, the portions are still a good size! read more

I've been thoroughly alienated by the posting of signs advising that they will now charge customers for processing a credit card if we use one. Yes, it's "just" a 3.5% fee. But it's rude. It's unwelcoming. Look up the definition of hospitality, folks. If I ever do decide to go back, I will visit my bank so I can pay my bill in quarters. During my career as a counselor, I was told that if I had to provide an interpreter for clients, I could not refuse to see them nor charge them the cost for the interpreter, even if the cost was above what I was being paid for the session. This was called "the cost of doing business". read more

This was my first time in Omaha, not a place you would think to get sushi but I was very surprised about the service and the food... I'm glad that I stopped by. read more

Hiro 88 - Table set up - Sushi Bars Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

HIRO 88 is one of the nicer Japanese restaurants in Omaha. I haven't been there in over a year or two, but it's still nice. Casual-chic atmosphere with good drinks a selection of entries. I went with a work group and we ordered some sushi rolls to begin. They were all very good. I ordered the udon which was decent. I have had better udon elsewhere - better noodles and broth. But for Omaha, it's good. Definitely a place to venture. read more

Great vibes and they have many many selections of sushi and entree! I will be back! Service is awesome!!! read more

Disappointed on Mother's Day, we usually love Hiro 88 but today was not the case. The food wasn't bad, but they didn't have their usual Sunday all day happy hour because it was Mother's Day, which was just really crappy. I understand you will have more people today and get to make more money without the happy hour, but it sucked to walk up to the restaurant expecting that (since that has always been our experience) and find out. Also, it really sucks that you are now charged extra to use a credit card. This place isn't cheap, and our bill was over $100, which we just don't carry in cash on the regular. It just seems like they are trying to get as much money as possible from the customer, at an already pricier restaurant. As much as we like the food, we probably won't be back. read more

Been here two times for lunch since the first time. The server we had the first time wasn't there. The floors have been filthy and we were sat in an area that had food all around us on the table. We asked to be moved. What's going on? I have to drop them to three stars and might be going to two. First time here at this location for lunch. Superior customer service and quality of food. I got the combo fried rice and it was outstanding. Made fresh and tasty. My friend got Bento box with smoked salmon and beef teriyaki. Good portions and we left happy and satisfied. Five stars. read more

Mother's Day lunch - I'm Just going to say it is sad that you decided to cut out happy hour on Mother's Day. We will not return mainly due to this. We decided to stay and have lunch. It was not at all the norm. Food, cleanliness, time. it was sad. read more

Probably the best tasting sushi in town. The Reverse Happy Hour on Sundays is a pretty good deal - especially for the house wine. It does get very crowded, though, so a reservation would probably be a good idea. Our 4 star experience was only because it was busy and the food took over 30 minutes to come out. Other than that, we would go back. read more

2-3 years ago I would've gave this place a 5. Overtime they've gotten worse and worse. Regardless if you go in, order takeout, or order online ahead of time it's always something with them. I placed an order 10 hours early to be picked up @915 I get here and it's 950 and my food still isn't ready. The staff is very nonchalant and it's just disgusting at this point . Don't go here. Go to blue , Tokyo sushi, or Yamato sushi. They never disappoint . read more

I hate giving bad reviews. Stopped in for a late dinner around 8p on a business trip. Sat for awhile before greeted and I had already decided. Asked if they had a veggie tempura appetizer and I was told they did, so I ordered that, along with their two popular rolls: Husker and Wasabi stinger. The tempura was not very good...over battered and greasy. It was actually a shrimp tempura appetizer with veggies - a couple broccoli and asparagus spears, but mostly sweet potatoes and onion. The batter and oil overwhelmed and you couldn't taste the shrimp (D). Unfortunately, the theme carried over into the sushi rolls. The Husker roll was 'supposedly' tempura beef tenderloin with asparagus and cream cheese (I subbed avocado), but all you can taste is the deep fried batter wrapped around over cooked meat. I liked the presentation for the Wasabi stinger roll - tempura shrimp, sub avocado for cream cheese, jalapeño and wasabi cream sauce with shredded crab mix on top - but similar to the Husker roll, all I tasted was deep fried, blandness. No jalapeño evident. So food and service was a D, pricing was a B as fair to better than average. I would skip this place. read more

This place was delicious! The food was amazing and the staff was even better! Got the spiked lemonade to drink and it was perfect!

Went here on Valentine's Day and had a wonderful time, of course it was super busy but our waitress was very friendly and checked in many times to let us know where our food was. We had the squid salad, tuna tartare and the diver scallops as an appetizer, highly recommend the scallops and then for dinner we had the sushi pictured. We will definitely be back! read more

Service was very lacking. All the did was give excuses on why the were slow or unable to do something. My wife asked several times for a glass for her beer, it finally was produced after at least 3 times. We waited over 15 minutes for our first drinks. We asked for forks and supposedly they had to wash forks so we had to have some. It is very sad that they rather make excuses that actually perform. Will not be back! The food is acceptable, but the lacking service overwhelms acceptable food! read more

I'm completely blown away by the unbelievable rudeness of the server we had at our last visit. Not only were several items brought to our table that we didn't order, the server was full of unprofessional comments and snapped at several guests when asked the simplest of questions... Like what happened to what was actually ordered. On more than one occasion, plates were dropped onto the table before she made snide comments and disappeared back to the kitchen. It was clear she did not care about professionalism or giving a good experience because she knew the 20% gratuity was already being added to our bill. All of this is severely disappointing, as we usually have a good time at Hiro. Maybe the next time we decide to come back, it will be a different story. read more

Was recommended to try this place by a local. It was delish! Really loved the avocado egg rolls, sooo cheesy! We got the bento lunch special and ordered 3 spicy rolls. Great deal for the amount of food we got! We would highly recommend. Excellent service as well! read more

Sushi was lukewarm, not cold or hot as expected. Had to use dirty appetizer plates for the sushi plates. When we asked for soy cups and forks, was told it will be five minutes due to needing to wash them. There were flying bugs at our table and one in our party had a bug in their meal. The management did not assist in correcting. read more

Food and service was always great here ! Ask for Steven as your sever , he's absolutely fantastic !

There had been a considerable decline in the quality of service and quality of food that Hiro 88, Old Market offers its customers. I had a very poor experience a few months ago with my friends where we had horrible service waited 45 minutes for menu and had a manager take up for the server because they were tired. However, I really loved this place and was hoping that maybe the former general manager Milton would straighten things out, but no. After arriving for happy hour, which is all day Sunday; I placed my order, to include Toro Salmon Sashimi ( the salmon belly). I was given regular salmon. Which the salmon belly cost more than regular salmon. When I informed the server, she had someone (clearly not a manager) come over. He tried to insult my intelligence and tell me that Toro meant Tuna. After living in Japan for four years. I think I would be able to understand that first, "Maguro" is "Tuna" and not Toro. If that wasn't insulting enough, the real manager comes over and tries to convince me they cut the "skin" off the salmon. This only demonstrates that not only is he uninformed, but his sushi chef is as well. I showed him images from the internet so he would be aware that toro sashimi includes the underbelly, a thin layer of fat, not the skin he thought it was. I feel bad for customers who may not know the difference and get stuck paying more money for a product they don't receive. In the end, I'm saddened that what used to be the best sushi in Nebraska has become like many others... Just another place in the Midwest that serves raw fish. Displaying little or no knowledge about what they actually offer on the menu. Le sigh! read more

It just so happened on a Friday night, I was trying to find a place to park in the Old Market & ended up a few doors past Hiro 88!! I wasn't planning on dining here, but it sounded good so we went inside & sat at the bar-belly up! The restaurant was 1/2 full & the wait staff was friendly & attentive. We got service quick. I ordered my go to drink & sushi roll. As I looked at the many different bottles at the bar, I noticed some interesting Sake bottles! If you want to try a variety of Sake here is the place to try it! It wasn't long & our sushi rolls were served. The rice is better here than most places & the seafood is fresh! I liked it so much, 2 days later I went to Hiro 88 on 129th West Maple! This time was Sunday Happy Hour & I tried a new drink-Purple Kimono that was a twist on a new cranberry vodka drink that I love! Sake Bombs are only $2 so you have to have at least 1 of those! I'd recommend their Teriyaki Salmon as a dinner option-it's cooked to perfection & is flavorful-Delicious!! read more

The sushi place I frequent the most for their reverse happy hour, as a matter of fact, I don't think I've ever come during their regular hours! It starts at 10pm M-Sat and all day happy hour on Sundays. They have a large variety of options on their reverse happy hour menu which is great because there's bound to be something for everyone. I usually get their spicy tuna roll because I love the crunch the tempura crisps provide. I've also tried other rolls like Crazy Horse, Cinco de Mayo, and Hiro's Crunch, but I don't care too much for the extra ingredients they put into them. The real star of this place has got to be their sake bombs. For $7.50 you get a 25 oz can of Kirin and 8 oz bottle of sake to make about 7 sake bombs (we fill the tiny cup inside the bigger cup up to the rim with sake and submerge it in Kirin). That's a lot of sake bombs, depending how big of a group you're sharing them among. This spot has become a favorite among my friends for happy hour. Hiro's creates a perfect atmosphere to hang out and cheers the night away with sake bombs. The service also never fails to deliver each time I come, so although I don't care much for the sushi here, Hiro's will always be the place to offer good vibes and great times. read more

What an awesome recent experience at this fun spot downtown. I've been here several times an Hiro definitely deserves its props for one of the best places to get sushi in town. I think we had one of everything the other night w some friends an let me tell you the rolls did not disappoint. We also threw in a couple of dishes off the Chinese food menu which a lot of people don't realize is available an that was insane good too. We added chicken teriyaki an I believe a non gmo chicken delight an the crisp on the chicken was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the Michigan, black pearl, crazy horse an for something totally non sushi but in a roll that's surprisingly delicious try the husker roll an go figure it's got beef in it lol; sounds weird right, nope amazingness! We ended the night w a chocolate cake an fried cheesecake an the cake was decadent an fresh an the cheesecake was so good I over indulged an definitely ate more than necessary but hey treat your self! our server was also on point w such a large table an we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Cheers! read more

Hiro 88 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

One of my all time favorite places to get sushi. I used to eat lunch at the west Omaha location weekly or bi-weekly. I moved downtown and took a job further east as well, so I missed it. We like to come in when we're feeling a bit fancy and want a break from the fast casual dining we typically go to. They never disappoint and they have a great selection of sushi. They will be busy, you will wait, and you will benefit from getting a reservation before you show up! read more

Ordered the teriyaki salmon for the lunch special and this was the size. I don't think I've ever seen a piece of salmon this small. And normally the bento boxes would come with a side of white rice which was neglected to be given when I picked up my order as is the second time. The salmon also came with zero teriyaki sauce. I appreciate the fact that they gave me a whole thing of chili sauce but was very looking forward to this salmon and white rice. read more
