    Fresh wasabi (extra upcharge), salad and miso soup that is included with the chirashi bowl
    Jane K.

    A day trip to Bainbridge and a friend's recommendation lead us to Subi, off the beaten path. It's in a type of strip mall-like building on the first floor. My family ordered the salmon poke salad, salmon chirashi bowl, salmon roll, soft shell crab roll and the crazy roll. The fish was fresh and overall the experience was very good. However one of our big complaints about the way some sushi rolls are made is how large they are. You cannot possibly put a whole piece of 1 of these rolls in your mouth. It's more like 4 deconstructed bites, which is annoying to eat. The chirashi bowl was good but the rice had too much ponzu sweet sauce. We ordered the fresh wasabi and the potency wasn't as strong as in the tube but fresh is more flavorful, at least IMHO. The ambience and atmosphere was nice. Restrooms are located in the common area of the mall. Menu was extensive with non-fish items as well. Overall a solid place to go for dinner.

    Salmon nigiri.

    On a lark, we stopped by SuBI for a late dinner. Bainbridge Island rolls up the sidewalks (what precious few there are!) at 8:30 or so (with some exceptions), and we left the house at 8! We were heading to the Indian Restaurant in the same shopping center, the Pavilion. We were walking by and decided to check it out. We were glad we did. It was already 8:10, and they were closing at 8:30. The sushi bar was closing even sooner. They sat us quickly at a table by the window, gave us menus, and took our orders. Cordial, friendly, and not rushing, which we really appreciated. They have a variety of comfy tables throughout the restaurant, and I think we would have been happy at any of them. They have a happy hour menu from 7:30 to close, so we (mostly) availed ourselves of it. I ordered their California and Spicy Tuna combo roll, their Avacado and Cucumber roll, three salmon nigiri, and a 20 oz. Sapporo to share between us. My date ordered the Shiitake Maki (vegetarian), with added avocado. The food came quickly, just under the wire for last call, and it was delicious. I particularly like the spicy tuna roll, but also enjoyed the shiitake maki. My only complaint: the salmon nigiri didn't seem as fresh as I had hoped (the fish seemed a little tough). Otherwise, a great experience, and we appreciated the staff accommodating us so late in the day.

    Shrimp Tempura

    The sushi rolls here are huge. They have a raw bar where you can watch it being made in front of you. Parking is easy in the lot outside. My only complaint is the service time was pretty slow. I believe I was here for close to two hours and ate alone. Two rolls and an appetizer.

    Black Cod Misoyaki

    My husband and I had SuBI on Bainbridge Island today for lunch, it was so delicious. The misoyaki black cod was amazing, as were the rolls. I particularly loved the salmon crunch roll. We will be back!

    Took a Thursday evening trip over to Bainbridge with a friend stopped into this place. We had looked online and saw that they had a happy hour which said 7:30pm to close on the website. We got there a few before 7:30pm and weren't given happy hour menus, but they were brought over after we asked. We then ordered a few things off the happy hour and regular menu. We got the half and half rolls: SALMONLOVE + ULTRAALBACORE and TUNA + SALMON, the Yummy Yummy Roll (happy hour), and gyoza (happy hour). My friend tried to order an order of sweet potato fries a little later off the happy hour menu and they said it had ended so I'm still a little confused on whether it's before or after 7:30pm like it said online. The gyoza came out first and they were really good standard gyoza. The sushi took a lot longer to come out which was strange because the restaurant didn't seem busy, but our waitress did apologize for the long wait. The yummy yummy was my favorite of the rolls. The tempura shrimp had such a good flavor and all the ingredients came together really well. The salmon and tuna rolls were amazing. The big chunks of fish were so fresh, especially the salmon. The salmonlove and ultraalbacore combo was good, but I don't know that it all paired together well. The crispy onions on top kind of felt overpowering to the roll. Overall the happy hour deals are great (if you can figure out when to go) and the sushi is really fresh and we'll priced.

    Himachi nigiri and toro nigiri
    Kris J.

    WOW!!! I was super hungry and had the agedashi tofu, hamachi nigiri, toro nigiri, ultra albacore roll, and chocolate lava cake. Everything was SOOO good, especially the sushi roll! I've been to many sushi restaurants, but I feel I can confidently say this is the best sushi roll I've ever had. No imitation crab, and no tempura shrimp in the roll, which is a major plus to me (many sushi restaurants throw that in as a default filler, in my opinion). The crunchy onions were fresh and crispy, the perfect delicate crunch. Everything was so fresh. I'm just sad I don't live in the area, because I'd be here all the time and there are so many things on the menu I'd like to try. Until next time Bainbridge!

    I've only been here once and it was take-out (during COVID), so I can't speak to the atmosphere of the restaurant. It took ~15 min to make 4 people's food. The Salmon Teriyaki Lunch Bento w/ Tempura and Salad with Ginger dressing is amazing. It had two LARGE pieces of salmon on a small bed of well-seasoned squash/veggies. The tempura was crispy and other sides were great. Very filling. Ginger dressing is pretty unique, so I would recommend it. Miso soup could have more tofu/seaweed, but given the rest of the meal, I don't mind. All the food came hot. The restaurant itself really close to the Bainbridge port (walkable, but a car would be easier), and is only the first floor, so there is no worry about climbing stairs. Parking is easy; it's shares a parking lot with other stores/restaurants.

    For sushi enthusiasts, this establishment is a veritable gold mine! The atmosphere flawlessly combines traditional Japanese beauty with contemporary modernity. It is the perfect place for a leisurely dinner because of the warm, soft lighting that creates a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.

    Loved the Mango Paradise, Not so much the Zen Roll
    Tara C.

    Food: Large portions. The Full Bento for $33 was great! Service: Small place, very nice staff, could use 1more person on a Saturday evening. Ambiance: Not too loud, sat by the window and we enjoyed the experience. Frequency: 1 visit in 2023

    Empty bar

    Requested a table for 2 bar was completely empty but they still refused to seat us saying they couldn't handle capacity seemed odd either way they have mediocre reviews.

Ray was our server and he did a great job with his recommendations, even steering me away from something I wanted to try, warning me the dish tends to get the most complaints from guests. Additionally, we had quite a bit of food without that. We had melon salad, roasted califlower, and grilled angus sot bap. All had a good flavor palate with ingredients that worked nicely together. The space was nothing remarkable, the entrance didn't really mention Chan, but Spruce instead. Confusing, is it a rebrand or different name depending on the day or?? Look at the menu before you go and see if you consider it $$ or not, I don't have a good feel for that sort of thing as my restaurant outings are infrequent. This place is part of the "add 3% if using a CC" which kind of grinds my gears. I understand margins in restaurants can be tight etc, but to see that on your tablet in smaller print is a bit lame IMO.

Today however lines were crossed in the most unprofessional, rude, unwelcoming and disrespectful manner. My husband initially went to go order our food but unfortunately this time he experienced Myla, the cashier, continuously talking over him while ordering. Although we've experienced her behavior before we would just brush it off. I received the dynamite fries and couldn't eat them because everything was soaked in unagi sauce which many may know it can be salty when your food is drenched in it. I then went to the counter politely apologizing for even complaining but would like to have the food remade with less unagi sauce. Instead of saying anything kind, Myla complained to the cooks about me complaining about my fries were too salty. She made jokes aloud while the cooks laughed. I was standing there the entire time patiently while she was tormenting me. Meanwhile, Myla was helping other customers with the upmost respect because at that point she noticed I recorded our interaction. The food was remade and not a word said when she handed it to me. My husband then went to ask for the cooks name and Myla's and while they're waiting he overheard them talking about my appearance and making fun of the interaction. Will not be returning because I don't codone discrimination, bullying or torment in any business no matter how a person personally feels because of a very minor issue.
