    Screaming Tuna Signature Roll
    Jim M.

    After a show at the Marcus Center we were feeling like a little late, light dinner would hit the spot. Sushi calls, Screaming Tuna to the rescue! Friday night after Thanksgiving is apparently the time to visit without a reservation. We stopped by and were seated immediately it was very quiet and frankly, lovely! We ordered drinks, chipotle won tons for an appetizer and each order a specially roll. Service was quick and efficient. We had a great window view of the city, and left feeling full and happy. Always a great visit here!

    August 2025: I went to Screaming Tuna on a Monday evening in August with two other girls. We were seated outside right away with no reservation and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The view from our table was a beautiful cityscape on the water! We first ordered drinks, which we enjoyed. I had the Flirt Juice- it was refreshing and perfect for a summer night! Fruity and flavorful. For an appetizer, we shared the fresh veggie spring rolls. The spring rolls were good but we didn't care for the sauce they were served with. I typically like the sauce a little sweeter. I also ordered the seaweed salad, that was good. For dinner, we each ordered two rolls. I ordered the Rising Sun roll and the Shrimp Tempura. I thought both of my rolls were okay- somewhat bland and fishy tasting. My two friends also said their rolls were fishy and they didn't finish theirs. Our bill for the three of us came out to $160 before tip. Overall, great service and a beautiful summer night view, but not-so-great sushi and an expensive bill for what we ordered (my opinion).

    I really enjoyed visiting screaming tuna for my birthday this year. I started by ordering a lychee martini-- very good. The sushi rolls were a consistent size, rolled correctly, and the ratios were very balanced. The sashimi was decent--not the best I've had, but pretty good. I thoroughly enjoyed the appetizers we ordered. We ordered the tuna crispy rice, the crab chipotle wontons, the beef spring rolls, and the gyoza. All very tasty. The miso soup was nice as well. I will say, I was offered two mochi for my birthday-- the green tea flavor was nice. The red bean flavor was crumbly and inedible. I actually spit it out. That being said, I'd be glad to come back for sushi and apps. Pretty solid.

    For Midwest sushi the food was good it just wasn't a memorable meal like we were hoping. I did enjoy that there were a handful of rolls with different fruits and the size of the sushi was perfect where you could actually eat it in one bite without it being too much. Our waitress was nice and the restaurant was easy to locate. If you're looking like a sushi fix like we were this place will scratch that itch I'm just not confident we would go back.

    A beautiful restaurant in the Third Ward! We decided to go for dinner on a gorgeous summer evening. We were sat outside overlooking the river. Our waitress greeted us promptly, and placed our Crab Rangoon starter order. We enjoyed the real crab inside & crispy outer shell. We shared several rolls & nigiri & were pleased with the flavor & quality. Would definitely recommend!

    Screaming Tuna is a cute sushi spot! It was a little too cold to sit out but the indoor seating was still nice with the river view. We got two apps and a few rolls. The crispy spicy tuna was not as good as some other sushi spots, but the rolls were all pretty good. Service was excellent, she checked in a good amount of times and was attentive.

    gorgeous view on a beautiful day to sit out on the patio facing the water!!!!! service was a bit on the slower side however. ranking of food: 1. matcha tres leche cake: so. good. and light and airy. obsessed 2. miso braised short ribs: short ribs very good, surprisingly enjoyed the japanese sweet potato even though i'm anti sweet potato. vegetables could've used a bit of a sauce drizzle from the short ribs and that would've perfected the dish. short ribs were really tender 3. crab chipotle wontons: wish this was crispier but the plum sauce and chipotle pepper complimented it well. still good 4. firecracker roll: feel like this could've impressed me more but it didn't 5. garlic roll: didn't even taste the garlic tbh big disappointment overall wasn't really impressed by the sushi rolls and have definitely had better elsewhere. but the view was gorgeous and i loved all the dessert options

    Alchemist Sour / Pine After the Hunter

    This place was a lot of fun. It is right next to the water so the views are pretty cool from any spot within the restaurant. We got there right before the dinner rush on a Saturday evening and we're able to sit at the bar where we met Lizzie who was an amazing bartender. I had their alchemist sour which was a whiskey based drink, and my girlfriend had the pine after the hunt which was a tequila based drink. We got the edamame to start with the chili garlic on it and it had good flavor and a nice kick to it. Then we ordered the sushi for two. Our favorite nigiri's were the salmon, tuna, and yellowtail. The rolls were also really tasty as well. Excited to come back during the summer when the patio is open.

    Went to Screaming Tuna on a Friday night, there was good seating options even for a last minute call at 8:00pm. Food and drinks were good- would definitely recommend trying new things but they make a great classic roll as well. Service was the best part, very friendly staff and bright personalities that make your experience lively and welcoming. Servers and hostess included! Would definitely recommend trying on a night out.

    Absolutely delicious sushi and drinks! It was a busy Friday night, but our server made sure we were taken care of in a timely manner. It was beautiful to look out and see the lake! Beautiful interior - I will definitely try it in the summer to sit out on the patio. Parking is tough, so use a ride share or carpool if you can!

    I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this place so I decided to give it a try as I was craving sushi that day. Place is fancy, clean and upscale with it being by the river. I'm a fan of the atmosphere. A great place to host dinners. We ordered some Vietnamese spring rolls and sushi, but unfortunately they were not up to par, especially with the price. The spring rolls were good, they packed it real good in there. The rice in the sushi was almost too soft for it, it had a slight foul smell. I can't remember what exactly we ordered, but it was 3 different rolls and the one with chicken was the only enjoyable. Maybe I expected a lot from this place- especially when I'm craving sushi. But I would still come again to try something else and hopefully have a better experience. The service was excellent though!

    If you're a sushi lover, Screaming Tuna in Milwaukee's Third Ward is a must-visit spot! Nestled right on the river, the ambiance alone makes it a fantastic experience, and the food takes it to the next level. We started with appetizers, trying the Crab Chipotle Wontons and Gyoza--both were incredible! For our main courses, we ordered the Black Angus Shroom Boom (a delightful surprise!) and the Screaming Tuna Signature Roll, which was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. The cocktails were also a highlight; the Pine After the Hunter was a standout, perfectly balancing flavors and pairing well with our meal. By the time we left, the whole restaurant was packed, which speaks to its popularity and quality. Amazing food, great drinks, and lively atmosphere--highly recommend for sushi enthusiasts and anyone looking for a great dining experience on the river!

    On a recent visit to Milwaukee, my friend got us an early reservation here for the following day. I…read morethink we were lucky because others have said they've had trouble getting one. When we arrived for our 4:30p reservation, there was a line of half a dozen people hoping to get a seat at one of the bars first come, first serve. One is the alcohol bar and one is a sushi bar. Our server was amazing. She had great recommendations and made sure what we ordered was spaced out nicely as the tables are small and some of the dishes take up a good amount of space. We ordered bottles of mineral water. We don't really drink so this made the meal feel even more upscale and it went so well to cleanse the palate between courses. The food was phenomenal. There wasn't a dish we didn't love but extra about out for the hamachi kama yaki - grilled yellowtail collar. It was bigger and meatier than I expected. Delicious. The sushi here is amazing. I'm half Japanese. When I go to sushi places not near a coast, I usually don't get much raw aside from scallops and spicy tuna or salmon rolls. These hand rolls were absolutely fantastic. The seaweed wrappers had covers on them to slide off just before taking a bite so the wrappers stayed crispy. I would go back here just to order various hand rolls. The pad Thai was the best I've had. The noodles were perfectly cooked and smooth in my mouth with the light yet creamy sauce. I could only take a couple bites as we ordered more than we expected we could eat haha. I cannot wait to go back to Milwaukee to go back.

    I need to prep this review that I was with a group of 9 adults--the reservation was only for 8 and…read morethey allowed us to squeeze in another and it was so kind that they let us get away with that. The reason I speak to the number of adults is because they were a bit inappropriate: they were very loud and I felt so bad because I have no doubt the group I was with disrupted the experience of other diners. I'm not a prude but even I was slightly embarrassed at times (I didn't know the group well and didn't anticipate the noise/volume). ANYWAY, I bring all that up because our server tolerated us and I was very grateful for him. Aside from being kind, he was very knowledgeable about trying/pairing items and making suggestions for us. The drinks were beautiful and the food was bright--fresh and flavorful. Bathrooms were spotless. I am looking forward to coming back on my own ;)

The minute we walked in, a man sitting next to the hostess--who appeared to be part of the restaurant, not a customer--just stared at us. No greeting, no smile... just staring. The hostess also seemed a bit confused when we walked in. She asked if we had reservations; we said no. Then she asked if a high-top table was fine, as if the restaurant were packed. We agreed, assuming there would be a long wait for a regular table. But as she led us over, there were plenty of regular tables available. So right off the bat, the vibe wasn't particularly welcoming. As for the service, the waitress did a great job with the welcome and checked on us at a perfect pace. We also liked the decor--plenty of cute design elements that would make for great photos and draw people in. The menu was well done too: not overwhelming, just the right amount of variety in each category. Honestly, this part is why I gave the place more stars than I probably should have. As for the food, it was just okay for us--though that may have been due to what we ordered. There were only two of us, and we got three dishes: shrimp fried rice, beef chow fun, and kung pao chicken. We thought that would give us a good variety. The food had good flavor, but all three dishes tasted very similar. If you try these same dishes elsewhere, the flavors are usually more distinct. I do wish we had tried more of the appetizers and drinks--maybe that would have changed our rating a bit.

We started the night with a few drinks; #39 non-alcoholic Paloma, #129 non-alcoholic sbagiato, and #33 Sherry Pear-Y. All of which were absolutely amazing! Then we ordered the Chili Crisp Deviled Eggs (comes with two pieces), Crispy Thai-Style Oyster Mushrooms, Cappelletti, Slow-braised Bison Cheek, Cha Ca La Vong (Catfish), and the Wood-fired Bavette Steak. Where do I begin? First off, everything was fantastic! Delicious, creative, and memorable. Some dishes even had us ordering seconds! First the Chili Crisp Deviled Eggs: so creamy! We ended up ordering another plate of them (four orders) because one wasn't enough for the four of us. The Crispy Thai-Style Oyster Mushroom: insanely seasoned! It was crispy and the kick of the Thai chili peppers, made it our tables favorite (we ordered another plate of this)! The bits of crunch rice mixed in was also a pleasant surprise. The bits of green beans and cucumber was a nice way to cool the kick of the spices. The Slow-braised Bison Cheek: It was very interesting. Very soft and when paired with the polenta cake, mozzarella, and carrot, it tasted amazing. Cha Ca La Vong (Catfish): Also very interesting. It tastes very similar to a Vietnamese catfish soup! The pineapple fish sauce paired amazing with the glass noodles. The only complaint I have about this dish, was that the glass noodles weren't fully cooked, so they were a bit hard. The Wood-fired Bavette Steak: My god, this was amazing! It was perfectly cooked, the dark chocolate bordelaise paired with the mushrooms and steak was incredible. Like I said, everything was amazing! Our table was blown away with the creativity and quality of the food. The service was amazing, everyone was very sweet and helpful. The atmosphere was lovely and quirky.

They had a special for Bluefin Tuna. We shared the Nigiri trio by cutting each piece in half. My favorites were the two fattier cuts ( otoro, and chutoro ) I remember at this point we wished we had ordered another appetizer since the restaurant was busy and our main sushi rolls took a bit of time to arrive. We decided next time we would at least get the edamame in between plates. The rolls we ordered were the Ponzu Jello and Riverwest. The Riverwest description listed a smoky miso mayo which I did not notice a different from regular flavored mayo on a roll. The Ponzu Jello was unique and worth trying! The rolls were fat and very filling so we did not need to order more than two! I think we both agreed that the Riverwest roll was our favorite of the two. After that we noticed there was a special for some premium sake, so we ordered the G Joy. Very delicious, easy to drink and a perfect size to share.
