Just had the most delicious dinner at Sugo! We had the 5 Roll Set, sugo spicy tuna, torched eel, Ikura, kampachi, madai, scallop (pictured), soft shell crab (pictured), and crispy tofu, and couldn't possibly pick a favorite! I had the yuzu spritz which was delicious and also served as a nice palate refresher between rolls. The chef at the sushi counter was so incredibly kind and willing to answer any questions we had (like how much rice do you go through a day?). We split the 5 Roll Set and he paced it thoughtfully with that in mind. It was the perfect dinner for a summer night! As we walked out the door, we were already talking about coming back.
I absolutely love hand rolls, and every single bite here was amazing! I stopped by right after the World Cup match, so a lot of fish options were already sold out, but everything we had was still incredible. We sat at the bar, and the chef rotated making orders for everyone. The pacing was perfect just as you finished one roll, the next one was ready! The staff were pretty good too. If I ever have the chance to visit Seattle again, I will definitely be back!"
Located in the heart of downtown (just steps away from Pike Place market), we came here for lunch on a weekday (and ended up catching some of the happy hour). The place is a casual dining with high top tables and 1-2 people assembling the hand rolls. We tried a small variety of handrolls. I was very disappointed as I was looking forward to a splurge with the uni, but they were out of it when we came (not sure if day of the week matters, but it was a Tuesday). We tried various rolls including king salmon, tempura shrimp, ikura, akami, hokkaido scallop. I would say that this place can get pretty pricey if you're coming hungry, but we had eaten already a few hours prior so this was more of a late afternoon snack so we were satisfied (with 4 rolls per person). Everything was really fresh and tasty. The filling for the king salmon and ikura was plentiful. I did not expect the hokkaido scallop to actually be mostly cooked (torched with mushrooms), but it was a unique savory texture. There was only one unisex bathroom for the entire area, which was a little inconvenient but otherwise, a fun fast place to go to.
Overall: 5 stars Came for the caviar because it only costs $15 to top a handroll with an abundance? That is an easy steal to celebrate any sized win! But clearly the deal was too good because they were all out! Compared to other hand roll bars, I like Sugo much more because they serve the rolls open faced, so you can clearly see the quality of everything you're eating, and it looks really nice. Further, these are full size handrolls compared where the ratio of fish dominated the seaweed and rice so that is the primary mouth feel. King Salmon - We topped up with ikura since caviar wasn't available, and the portion size was generous; the ikura adds a delicious salinity and texture profile to balance the naturally sweet salmon. Fresh wasabi gives this piece such a nice bright freshness. Ebi Nuoc Mam - Smaller shrimp seasoned with that classic Vietnamese palette of savory fish sauce that can give the shellfish flavor to hold its own. Tempura Shrimp - This roll gives a classic tempura shrimp roll with all the fix ins from spicy mayo to a sweeter saline glaze. The cucumber adds freshness and the piece eats very well with a balanced serving of rice. Spicy Tuna - Classic spicy tuna handroll with the added pairing of the sweet pickled radish, which gives a bright sweetness to contrast the bold spice coming from the tuna mixture. Kanpachi - Another piece that works brilliantly with ikura; we have that firm white fish powered by the lime, and the saline forward nature of the salmon roe really helps to add another dimension to the amberjack. Torched Eel - Very generous cut of eel that will be sure to satisfy for the final rolls I like the added toppings of cucumber and optional wasabi, which help alleviate some of the richness of that seasoned eel.

Great for a quick and quality lunch. We dined in at 11:30am and were seated right away. Staff is really friendly and energetic. If you ever want to feel like you're in Japan, this is the place. Visiting from Hawaii, this place is top tier. We got the Otoro, soft shell crab, A5 waygu, crispy shrimp, spicy tuna, ebi nuoc mam. It's hard to rank them bc everything was a 10/10 chefs kiss! This was the perfect first meal in Seattle !
This was a very cute date night idea! Intimate setting, with you and maybe 15 people and the 1 or 2 sushi chefs. Went for their HH and I feel like it was a good deal. Fish tasted fresh and of quality. It's right by the waterfront too so its a fun date too walk around and get icecream afterwards.
Located across from Pike Place, Sugo Hand Roll Bar has very decent handrolls with fresh tasting fish. You can tell it's not frozen and very much worth your money. We ordered some Sapporo to start off our meal. Originally, I asked for their four piece Handroll, but they said I couldn't have it; I have a shellfish allergy and they wouldn't have substituted two of the rolls that had shrimp for salmon handrolls. In the end, I only ordered three handroll: two salmon and one yellowtail. Their fish is tasty and their handrolls are crunchy and fresh. The yellowtail had some citrus on it, but it was not too overwhelming. Their salmon's was perfect and topped off with sesame seeds. The service was okay and the place itself was a bit vacant. It's understandable since they just finished their happy hour. I would say it's not too bad for a place located next to a touristy spot.
Sugo is one of those restaurants that turns dinner into an experience. The restaurant itself is bright, welcoming, and beautifully designed, with large windows overlooking a charming courtyard along the edge of Pike Place Market. The atmosphere strikes a wonderful balance between upscale and comfortable, making it equally suitable for a special occasion or a relaxed evening out. From the moment we arrived, everyone was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and eager to make sure we had a great experience. I've been fortunate to enjoy several omakase meals over the years, and while many simply let the chef choose your sushi, Sugo takes the concept to another level. Every course is thoughtfully orchestrated, with each piece expertly prepared and presented right in front of you. Watching the chefs work is part of what makes the evening so memorable. The seafood was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and every course reflected genuine craftsmanship and attention to detail. It was clear that the chefs take great pride in what they create. The service was equally impressive. Everyone was attentive, knowledgeable, and happy to explain the dishes and answer questions without ever making the experience feel rushed. The cocktails were excellent and complemented the meal perfectly. One of the biggest surprises was Happy Hour. If you're looking for exceptional hand rolls and high-quality Japanese cuisine at a very reasonable price, Sugo offers one of the best values I've found in Seattle. Whether you're new to omakase or already a fan, Sugo is a restaurant I'd enthusiastically recommend. Outstanding food, exceptional service, a beautiful atmosphere, and a dining experience that I'll definitely be returning to.
Great concept and lay out of a sushi bar specializing in hand rolls. The restaurant is split into 2 rooms, each with a U-shaped bar. The menu has a wide selection of hand rolls, ranging from a vegetarian rolls to decadent uni rolls. We tried a few - salmon, spicy tuna, and unagi. The salmon was good but nothing wowed us. The spicy tuna, however, was very good, especially with the addition of takuan. The unagi was also very good. In all of the rolls, the quality of the rice and nori were both good. There were just a couple minor things that caught our attention. First, with the sake sampler, there was no explanation or labeling of what we were drinking. Also, while the bar was very minimalist and clean, the rest of the restaurant was a bit of a mess. But going back to the food, the rolls were solid, there is also some non-roll items on the menu that looked good, and the HH pricing is great, so we will be back!
I first came here May of 2023 - a few months after they officially opened. The anticipation of getting to come here was everything I'd hoped it would be, and more. The experience in may of 2023 stuck with me for so long that, 3 years later when I officially moved to the area this was my celebratory "welcome to washington" meal. The sushi is delicious, the freshness is unmatched, the flavors are so rich and this is hands down in my top 3 of favorite edamame executions (and i'm an edamame snob) My husband and I are eagerly awaiting going back for their thursday night omakase experience The setting is intimate yet inclusive and the wait staff are quick and efficient.
Ordered the 6 hand roll set (Ora King Salmon® Ebi Nuoc Mam, Spicy Tuna®, Kampachi®, Crispy, Shrimp, Torched Unagi), Otoro signature hand roll, karaage chicken, miso soup, and desserts (cream brûlée and some ice cream with toasted rice. The handrolls tasted fresh. There was a little wait for seating but service was not bad. You eat around the hand roll bar and can watch the chefs make your hand roll. It's date night friendly.
Food: This was a very unique location for us to try. We love sushi and this was the first tine we have tried a hand-roll bar as its not very common in San Diego. Everything we ordered tasted phenomenal. From the spicy tuna to the softshell crab. ALL of it was delicious. If we had time to go back a 2nd time before we left, I would have def gone again. I also had a couple of drinks which were also quite tasty. Only thing I would say is that at it did take time for each of our orders to finish but I believe this was due to inly having 1 sushi chef and a handful of customers Service: I would say this would be that service was good but slow. It did take some time to receive our orders and it also took time to receive the check. Ambiance: Its a nice communal type of ambiance. Its def a louder type of restaurant as you are all seated around the sushi chefs, exactly like a bar (hence the name). We loved the vibe and the folks eating there all seemed to be enjoying the food and ambiance as well. Overall: I would rate this establishment a 4 to 4.5.
I came to Sugo for happy hour on a Wednesday and was super excited and had a high expectations because my girlfriends from Seattle really hyped it up. We really loved the food and thought the hand rolls and fish were really high-quality, but had a bad experience with the service. From the beginning, we felt like our waiter wasn't super friendly. When my friend asked if the waiter could make one of the drinks into a mocktail, he responded he didn't know how to make it into a mocktail and made her feel weird when she asked for hojicha tea instead. The whole dinner I felt like he wasn't happy with us... he never smiled or gave us a friendly demeanor, and after debriefing with my friends they felt the same way. I felt like the only time I saw him smile was after we signed the check and gave him a 20%+ tip. Despite the fish and food being super good, I can't say I'd go back due to the poor experience with service.

Okay follow up to my first review: I found myself in the Seattle area with some company again, so obviously, I had to make us a reservation at my favorite hand roll bar! Food was good, but something about Sugo felt different. It previously felt like a more personalized/high-end dining experience from what I remembered! Quality of the rolls were still great, but the miso soup was watered down. A little let down by this visit, but also probably because I used to be SO in LOVE with sugo? read more

This is for the Omakase experience. Hands down, this is one of the best Omakase I have been to. To start, there is an oyster appetizer (be early, not late) that was flavorful and started the dinner off right. Each bite was delicious, paced well, and explained well. Each bite built with flavor. The sake pairing went perfect with the meal as well. At the end, there are extra bites available and they were well worth it. Last, there was a small bite for dessert to round out the meal. The space is nice and has about 10 people. For the service, it was spot on and really appreciate the time taken to go over the dishes and the sake pairing. Will be back for sure for this experience. read more
Stopped in for happy hour and was very pleased! Everything was so great, the flavors in the hand rolls were amazing. The different sauces lead to a great experience. Also the freshness of the salmon was spectacular. I was seated at the bar fairly quickly and I loved watching the chef build the rolls. It's a really cute set up as well read more
Checked in at 2:25 pm and sat at the bar. It's crowded and it's hot outside so it's nice to sit down. The hand roll chef is working solo and definitely needs back up help. I like the ginger and I'm noshing on it. I ordered a king salmon hand roll and they have gluten free tamari and a gluten free menu! It's happy hour so come here. $4 limited hand rolls and an assortment of other sushi items. The seaweed is crispy and the fish is fresh!! read more

Came here during happy hour, and I have to say this is one of the best Hand Roll spots in Seattle for happy hour. Each roll was only four dollars. And I got 3; I got the scallops, 2 ikura rolls, and a plate of calamari to share. They also generously give you Ginger so if you're a ginger girl like me you'll love this place. The rolls were fully loaded and well made. The service here are also really nice and check in regularly to see if you need anything else. I also love how the restaurant is set up in a circle where you see the chefs making your hand rolls. read more

Great deals for happy hour! We got miso soup, calamari, and all the kinds of hand rolls except for the tofu and eggplant. Miso soup and calamari were great and the best hand roll is the King Salmon. Hand rolls can just take a while if it's busy since there's only one person making them. Would definitely come back again. read more
Really like the ambiance of the place. I came in for happy hour and got sat at the bar pretty quick. Service was pretty fast and my orders got through pretty quick. Definitely pop in at happy hour for some solid deals on hand rolls and drinks! I had a good time and it was super tasty for the price. I kept ordering and they kept coming read more

We got seated pretty fast despite there being a line. The interior was very sleek and felt pretty luxurious. The handrolls came out fast as well. I ordered a few but my favorite was the Unagi. I enjoyed the sauce they drizzled and the amount that came in the handroll. read more

Perfect place for date night! You have to sit at the bar for the best experience, as you can see them making the rolls right in front of you, which is a part of the meal. I prefer my hand rolls to be very simple and no excess ingredients -- which is exactly what Sugo is. Their hand rolls are just the fish and the rice, so the quality of the fish can't hide behind anything. The fish is incredibly fresh and was great quality. The rice to fish ratio was perfect in my opinion. I had a hard time picking which hand roll I liked best, all of them were so delicious! The set was reasonably priced as well and was filling. They also have some cute and creative cocktails. I got the melona cocktail which included the ice cream bar. So sweet and enjoyable. I also saw a lot of people get the lychee martini which comes with a smoke bubble - so cool! The sushi chef was very friendly, often checking in on how every thing was tasting. They made sure that every person had their rolls out in a timely manner. The servers were also very kind when we interacted with them. I like how ambient and chill the atmosphere was. Will definitely be back! read more

If you're in Seattle go to Sugo!! It will not disappoint. We got the spicy tuna, salmon, fish egg, and crispy tempura. It was so amazing, I will definitely come back. read more
We stopped in for lunch and there was only one server working the entire front of the house. He was seating guests, taking orders, serving drinks, and even handling the cashier -- understandably, that made service a bit slow. Honestly, I can't fault him; he was doing the work of three people with a great attitude. The seafood was extremely fresh, and the wasabi stood out for being both fresh and grainy in texture -- a detail I really appreciated. What impressed me the most, though, was the sushi master. Even with a steady flow of orders, he kept everything under control and ensured that everyone at the bar was well-fed throughout the meal. The ambience was simple but pleasant. The restaurant has two bar areas separated from each other, which gave a sense of privacy for diners in each section. Seating was a little cramped, and with coats and bags hung on the rack along the wall, it could feel tight. A little more space between customers would have made the experience more comfortable. If you're looking for fresh, high-quality sushi and don't mind a more relaxed pace during the lunch rush, this spot is definitely worth a visit. read more

Great place with amazing sushi. Had a really good experience with the classic set of hand rolls and loved the torched unagi!!! read more
I've been here twice; one time for Happy Hour and one time for lunch. I ordered some of the same items because they were so good, but I also tried a new hand roll. For Happy Hour: we ordered: the King Salmon, Salmon Skin, Crispy Shrimp, Calamari-Furai and Wagyu Inarizushi! We were so full that we couldn't finish everything. For Lunch: we ordered the Calamari-Furai, 4 Hand Roll Set (Ora king Salmon, Spicy Scallop, Spicy Tuna and Crispy Shrimp), and I ordered the Salmon Skin, Crispy Shrimp and Soft Shell Crab. Both times the calamari and the hand rolls were crunchy, fresh and so full of flavor! The Soft Shell Crab hand roll was huge and and very filling! The presentation of each hand roll is constructed like a stunning piece of art - with thought and care. The sushi chef was very friendly and the staff were attentive, refilling our water glasses during or meal. The atmosphere is chill and relaxing. The warm wood tones and lighting made it very welcoming. I appreciate their consistency with the hand rolls and their friendly staff. This restaurant has become a favorite spot to take my out-of-town family and friends. read more

WOW! I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. In town for work and we went for happy hour. The sushi is FANTASTIC! And the happy hour is so reasonable. Every bite of food was excellent. Super fast service on rolls. Cool vibes by the fish market. Highly recommend read more
Made a reservation for this place so we just arrived at the time of the booking. I really like the ambiance of the place and everything is really clean and I love being able to see the chefs make my hand roll fresh. I really enjoyed the king salmon temaki and the spicy bay scallop temaki! read more

Handrolls were delicious and very filling. Great ratio of fish to rice. Speedy service too and super accommodating. Shout out to our server Asia - she was very helpful and attentive. And the chef making our rolls Michael was great too. One of the best dinners i've had in awhile. A+ service!! read more
Craving hand rolls? Come to Sugo Hand Roll bar! Everything about this restaurant was excellent- what particularly stood out was the ample selection of vegetarian hand rolls that went beyond the traditional avocado/ cucumber combo. There was truffle avocado, tempura green bean (absolutely delicious), crispy tofu, mushroom and so much more. The miso soup was very flavorful and hearty! I would recommend 3-4 handrolls and an appetizer as a decent portion, but can always order more as you need read more

Every hand roll that we had off the sets were very well constructed and tasted like the best versions of the fish. Unfortunately, the service keeps me at a 4/5. Food: If you're unfamiliar with hand rolls or want to get an easy sampler of the popular options, I would highly recommend the hand roll sets! The salmon roll was simple and really highlighted the fattiness of the fresh salmon. The crisp seaweed and well seasoned rice could make anything taste good, but it really compliments the seafood. Our favorite some the sets was the spicy scallop. It was the kind of bite you want to keep chewing forever. Service: This is where I think the restaurant can improve on for the future. We ordered the 4 piece and the 6 pieces sets in parallel and the first 3 pieces of each came out in a timely manner. Then all the sudden we don't get any more hand-rolls for close to 20 minutes. Turns out, our sushi chef left to complete some nigiri orders for the group next to us. When he returned, the hand rolls resumed quickly, but I think nigiri orders should really be left to other back of the house chefs because that 20 minute wait broke the flow of the meal terribly. Another quick improvement would be more consistent wanted refills considering the small size of the cups. Atmosphere: The seating fully surrounding the chefs was cool because you could see all the ingredients coming together and your anticipation really builds. read more

It had been a few years since I last visited Sugo but I decided to give it a try again for a date. I was emphatically pleased with the fatty tuna hand roll, and the salmon was some of the best I've had in Seattle! We had Jordan as our server and he was attentive and handsome. We had one of their sweeter sakes (Kurosawa Nigori Junmai) and I was very pleased at how pleasant it was! I'm usually very cautious of sake that's too dry for my tastes. We sampled a good 10 of their temaki and the standouts for me were the King Salmon and Spicy Tuna. The crispy shrimp was also excellent. We tried the uni and the uni/wagyu/ikura roll, but unfortunately the latter felt like it had "too much" going on and it was confusing for the taste buds (and texture-wise). I'm not a big uni fan, but I did enjoy how creamy their uni handroll was. read more

this place was so good! the hand rolls are surprisingly filling. i got the 4 hand roll set + unagi which made me super full. we also tried the drinks which were very delicious and went well with the food. the chicken karaage was so tender yet crunchy on the outside, and the squeeze of lemon added a refreshing flavor to it. our waiter was jordan, who was very kind and attentive to us. he made sure to check on us throughout our time here and kept our glasses of water full. his service went above and beyond all expectations. we were sat at the bar. it was really interesting watching how the chefs worked. i'm pretty short so the stool was not very comfortable for me, since the stool was placed a certain distance away from the table. overall i really enjoyed my experience here! it's definitely on the pricier side but the quality was worth it read more

The hand rolls kept coming. The fish was so fresh tasting. We tried everything from menu. It melts in your mouth. I'd seriously plan a special trip to Seattle just to eat here!!!!! read more

Lucked out with a walk-in, no reservations, on a Saturday afternoon in the middle of summer. All the tourists were queued in front of the original Starbucks. Friendly staff all around and food was good. The highlights for me were - the wagyu uni + ikura hand roll - the salmon skin roll, and - Hi B Vitamin C boozy boba The wagyu hand roll has tender, seared wagyu paired with creamy uni with pops of ikura in every bite. The textures and flavors work well together - earthy and briny, hot and cold, and wrapped in crispy nori. I also dove into the salmon skin roll - I couldn't get enough of the smoky torched skin. The boozy boba snuck up on me like a ninja -- crafty cocktails indeed! I enjoyed the refreshing citrusy drink with aloe jelly instead of boba. We ordered several other plates like the spicy tuna dip, and chicken karage awhich are perfect for sharing. Cute space and cozy ambience at the bar with attentive service ready to fill drinks and plates. read more
Cheap prices but you get what you pay for. The fish quality was fairly poor except for the salmon. As soon as the tuna chips came out, we were pretty turned off by the color of the tuna. The crispy shrimp roll wasn't bad but it wasn't the lightly breaded tempura we were used to - it was just deep fried. Maybe the most offensive thing we ordered was the lychee martini - while cool looking with the bubble on top, it was easily the worst tasting cocktail I have ever had - very cheap liquor and barely had any lychee taste. I had one sip and couldn't drink anymore - I was surprised none of the servers noticed or said anything. If you do come here, just stick to the crispy shrimp roll, salmon roll, and agedashi tofu. And come during the happy hour for $4 rolls! read more

Friendly greeting walking in for our reservation. They were also able to take us a bit earlier.the vibe was relaxed with good music. The customer service was attentive through our dinner.

Let me start this by saying Hand Rolls are my absolute favorite. This place hit the spot (but I still have my favorite place in Houston). When researching a visit Seattle, this place came onto our Yelp groups radar. Lucky for me, the group was down for it. But honestly I would have been fine slipping off solo even. Parking- there's street parking, but we didn't find a spot. So we parked in a parking garage nearby. We didn't have a resy, which turned out fine. There are 2 sections of the restaurant. When you walk in there's the omakase side. Then there's a seperate sushi counter in the back as a seperste room for happy hour and the regular menu. Which is where we sat. We came at 5'ish for happy hour. The decor is stylish. The drink menu looked interesting, but I didn't order anything, as I came to eat. I liked that they had NA option as well. Some other guests ordered drinks so we got to see the cutsey drink presentations. Happy hour menu- has great prices, I think around $6 bucks per hand roll. I ordered the miso soup first. I enjoy a nice soup on a cold rainy day. Then I got 3 hand rolls. The salmon, shrimp, and spicy tuna. All were good. Service- sushi chef was quick, and got our food out rapid fire. Our wonderful lady servers were easy, considering our large party. Plus we were able to pay separately, which I appreciate. read more

Sugo Hand Roll Bar is a hidden gem tucked right next to Pike Place Market and is absolutely worth a visit. It's a small, intimate space with bar-only seating that wraps around the chefs as they prepare your hand rolls. Despite being a busy Saturday night, the vibe was surprisingly calm and quiet (which was refreshingly so, considering the location.) I've never had hand rolls quite like this before and was genuinely impressed. We kicked things off with drinks, including the Shiokawa "Nopa" sake, which was excellent. Lightly sweet but still on the drier side, making it a great pairing for the food. For an appetizer, we ordered the Chicken Karaage (Japanese fried chicken), and it was a standout. I loved that it was more tempura-style rather than overly crispy. Perfectly fried with just enough texture. The three accompanying sauces were all distinct and delicious. The spiciest one had a nice kick without crossing into "regret territory," which I always appreciate. We then sampled several hand rolls. The Wagyu and mushroom wasn't my favorite, mainly because I prefer my steak closer to medium, and this was definitely on the rare side (it's quickly seared with a blowtorch.) That said, the soft shell crab and avocado was excellent and balanced things out nicely afterward. We finished with the five hand roll set, and honestly, every roll was fantastic. My personal standouts were the Ora King Salmon, Spicy Tuna, and Truffle Avocado. The avocado was unbelievably velvety, and the truffle flavor was subtle and well-balanced, not overpowering at all (a rare win for truffle.) The only thing that didn't quite hit "exceeds expectations" was the service. The staff was friendly, but it felt like there was a missed opportunity to elevate the experience. We weren't asked if it was our first time or given any guidance on the concept, menu, or recommendations. A bit more conversation or intentional hospitality would've gone a long way in making the experience feel warmer and more welcoming. Nothing rude or unpleasant. Just a notch below what the food deserved. All in all, Sugo delivers exceptional hand rolls in a unique, intimate setting. With a little extra attention to service, this place could easily be next-level. Still very much worth trying. Especially if you're a sushi lover looking for something a bit different. read more
This was my second time at Sugo! We had a reservation for 4:30pm on a Friday, got seated right away, and it was still happy hour with $4 hand rolls, such a good deal. Seating area is pretty limited in the main eating area, but there is an extension to the room. Each of us got about 3-4 rolls plus miso soup, and every roll was super fresh. My favorites were the king salmon, so buttery and generously filled, and the ikura roll, which had a touch of lemon zest on top that paired perfectly. We also shared the wagyu baku dan which came with two tofu pockets filled with rice and little bits of wagyu. They were good but the wagyu pieces were pretty small, probably wouldn't get again. I also tried the lychee martini which was on the sweeter side but still really tasty and it had the bubble. Our server and chef were both so attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend making a reservation & stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Haven't been here in a while but Sugo did not disappoint. Walked in on a Saturday evening, there was no wait, we got seated right away! Customer service was fast and staff was friendly. We got the 5 hand roll set for about $32. It came with the salmon, scallop, spicy tuna, crispy shrimp and torched eel. Every roll was super fresh and delicious especially the spicy tuna hand roll. Their seaweed is delicious topped with perfectly cooked sushi rice and fresh seafood. We got a wet towel before indulging in our food. The experience came with fresh and delicious wasabi and ginger which paired really well with the hand rolls. I recommend this place for those who had never had hand rolls before, it's definitely different than sushi but just as good! read more

Are they only Omakase? And would a person with a shell fish allergy be able to enjoy food items there?
