Just getting around to posting this review BUT man oh man, the food, service, and ambiance at Sushi 86 were all on point. I honestly can't remember every roll I tried (I was too busy enjoying myself), but the 3-Way Reverse Cowgirl and Danny's BLT stood out--they were packed with flavor and super fresh. You can tell they're not afraid to get creative with their menu, and it works. The place has a laid-back, cool vibe without trying too hard, and it just felt like a good time from start to finish. The staff was really friendly too--not overbearing, just genuinely nice and helpful, which made the experience even better. If you're in Cleveland and love sushi or just want to try something different, definitely check this place out. It's worth it. read more

Stopped by here for late lunch after visiting the rock and roll hall of fame. This restaurant has a great location with some good views of the water and marina. I started with the miso soup which was a huge serving! It was perfect for how chilly of a day it was and I thought it was tasty. For my entree, I got the spicy tuna roll and the E.L.S. Roll. The E.L.S. roll was really tasty with the tempura in the middle. The salmon on top was good also. The spicy tuna roll is always a go to for me but this one was just fine! I think normally I'm used to the spicy tuna in the rolls to be more of a mixture of tuna and the sauce and this was more chunks of tuna and sauce instead of mixed together! It was still good, just not what I'm used to :) Prices were fair and everyone in my group seemed to like their meal. We were served in a timely matter - it looked like they had 2 sushi chefs. read more

My friends and I came here after a visit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame because we were sooo hungry and this place was a very short walk away. (Heads up: if you are using Apple Maps to walk there and it tells you "you've arrived" but you haven't, keep walking a few feet! There are signs to point you to the door of the restaurant.) We came in around 1pm on a Saturday and were promptly seated. The service was quick and friendly, the atmosphere was nice and had large windows with a great view of the lake. For food, I went with miso soup to warm me up (which did the trick -- it was sooo hot), a salmon roll, and The Other Roll. Everything was delicious! The menu was large so I had a difficult time narrowing it down, but I enjoyed my choice very much! I also wanted to mention that I was here with my friend who isn't a sushi or seafood fan, and she was able to get a build-your-own poke bowl with chicken! So there was a little something for everyone here. A great place for sushi in Cleveland read more

So glad we stopped here after our visit to the Science Center. The staff was very nice and accommodating, making sure we had what we needed and in a hurry! The interior was beautiful with a modern yet classic Japanese feel and the view from the window was great with views of boats on the lake! We got both the Smoked Tuna Roll and the Eel Roll, which both were delicious in their own ways. I loved how simple yet creamy and flavorful the tuna roll was- and the little dishes used for dipping in your soy sauce are so cute. Definitely a great spot if you're in the area, especially after the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or Science Museum! read more

What a great area. This marina is awesome and definitely one that you would do again. Doesn't only have the football stadium but the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame and a great skyline as you can see from the picture. We use Yelp to locate sushi 86. Very nice and clean in the service was outstanding. She said there was a 45 minute wait but we didn't mind. It was well worth it. We had edmama for appetizers start things off. We ordered the temper shrimp. And three rolls. One was a dynamite Royhl the other was a rainbow row and the other one was I don't remember. They are all very good. We also had the soups. Our server was outstanding very friendly and personable. read more

This is just my second time being here and it's quickly become a favorite! From the moment you walk in, you know the place is going to be good. The service isn't as good as it could be but the food is so good. I've had the poke and the 86 Roll and everything is so fresh! Being on the water in the harbor is incredible. They make food for the Browns and most of the other professional sports teams here in Cleveland. If you haven't been, it should definitely be on your list! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!! Honestly they have the best sushi that I've tried in Cleveland! The fish is so fresh and their salmon is absolutely to die for (melts in your mouth)! The service/staff is always so personable and I really enjoy talking to all the employees. It is also a stunning location on the water and is perfect for a date night. Highly recommend the Dragonfly Roll and Rocket Roll! read more

Better than many sushi places in Toledo. Roll wise not worth the money. Like instead of the rice inside out. It is the maki small roll for like over $10. But I really love the chirashu. Great price for great portion size and great quality of fish. If I come back, will definitely go for that. And the view and the environment of the restaurant is very chill and relaxing. For those people like to post foodie pictures, definitely is a nice place for Instagram. read more

On a business trip from Connecticut and I love sushi. Wanted to try something close to my hotel that delivered. Unfortunately, this sushi missed the mark. I had the salmon avocado roll, Sushi 86 roll and seaweed salad. Flavors were weird. Sushi was salty and very americanized... I tried to eat as much as I could but I couldnt finish it. Just meh all around. I was thinking their "sweet soy sauce" was eel sauce but it is not unfortunately. Pickled ginger was good and I will say delivery was fast and that was appreciated! read more

I'm updating my five star review to another 5 star review. Sushi 86 delivers, literally and figuratively, and in the pandemic I'm so grateful I can still get my favorite sushi and support one of my favorite businesses. Especially because I don't always get on foot to this part of downtown anymore. The Three Way roll, stuffed with avocado and tempura with crab salad on top, is my absolute favorite roll in Cleveland. If you love sushi, you'll love this role. It's a combo of flavors that you might not necessarily think you'll like, but I promise you will adore it. It's enough on its own, but if you're going to order more, a few basic futomaki rolls will do the trick. They are generous in portion and will complement anything. We like the salmon and avocado! Thanks Sushi 86, for still being awesome throughout this crazy time in our world! You will not regret patronizing this fab local spot. read more

Pictured: salmon avocado roll and California roll Pretty good sushi overall. Considering Cleveland isn't located on the ocean (Though Lake Erie tries to make 'North Coast' a thing), the sushi was fairly fresh tasting . The California roll was hands down my favorite of the two (also dipped it in the -not so -spicy mayo) great combination. The staff was very friendly as well. A great establishment. I'll definitely be back when I'm in town! read more

My wife and I ate here after visiting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We had the Baby Octopus as an appetizer, my wife had the Gomoku and I had the Rainbow Roll. Our hostess was very friendly. We loved the exotic potted plants. The sushi was delicious and the standout for me was the Baby Octopus which I absolutely loved. I had it at another restaurant years ago and have been unable to find it anywhere else until today. read more

Menu is limited - pretty unimaginable. The place looked clean and was cozy. Was disappointed with what we saw but did not try the food.

We found this establishment while looking for a place to eat in Downtown Cleveland, it was pretty decent and on point. Actually it was above expectations for a small kiosk. It looked like most food was being prepared for take-out. Their uni was quite good. Service was quick. Minimal furniture and decor. A decent lunch spot. read more

This has been on my place to try for what seems like forever. I'm always on the lookout for good sushi places and they seem to be few and far in between in the Cleveland area as a whole. I stopped here to get some lunch to go. Inside there's a few areas to sit which is nice considering it's in the Arcade and isn't very large. I ended getting miso soup for $2.75 and, after talking with the hostess taking my order, I decided on then fresh fish maki lunch plate which included 3 pieces each of tuna, escolar and salmon for $9. Overalll the fish was decent, the rice was decent but it didn't blow me away. You may ask me how can I judge this somewhat harshly when I literally just got maki rolls. The thing is, good sushi is good sushi - the fish tastes fresh and the rice is well done. The sushi here isn't bad but it's ALSO not above average. It's fine for a sushi lunch spot. I think $9 for 9 smaller rolls of average (read: not hard to come by) fish seems like a bit much but I guess it is downtown. Overall, it's fine but I don't know if I'll be back. read more

Yeah... no, this place isn't it. The sushi was meh. The miso soup was too salty. Service was okay but overall they need to get their stuff together. Highly doubt this place stays open for too much longer. read more

I'll be honest...when I walk into a sushi place and it's completely empty and the sushi chefs are young, non-Asian dudes, my normal instinct is to run screaming in the other direction. But we decided that we had walked enough and would give this little, new-looking sushi spot a chance. It was very clean and we needed to sit down and have an adult beverage. Win #1: They had Japanese whiskey Win #2: They had a really nice selection of sake Win #3: They had sampling menus of the sake and whiskey (flights, basically) Win #4: The staff there were friendly and as we drank our flights, we got friendlier Win #5: The sushi was actually really good. I had very low expectations for the sushi, but the fish was fresh and everything we tried was excellent. I still don't fully trust non-Japanese sushi chefs. It's part of my DNA and I won't apologize for it. But, over the years, I've become friendly with some excellent sushi-makers that happen to be from Malaysia...so yes...good sushi can be made by a couple of friendly kids in Cleveland. read more

I love their new location. Great vibe. The food is some of the best sushi in Cleveland. Thanks for upgrading your dining experience.

Rolls rely very heavily on fats and sugars for happy, but they're exquisitely plated, the fish is super fresh, and the service is first-rate. I just wish they would trust the Sushi Force, and not overload the rolls with so much heft heroin. In the arcade of an office building, across from the ballpark, it was weird how packed the restaurants with sidewalk seating were, and how forgotten this place was. C'mon, Tribe. A little wahoo before heading to Chief Wahoo's palace of pop? It's several notches below Tremont's Ginko, in terms of amazingosity, but Ginko seats just a few more people than Jiro's legendary joint in Tokyo. Two week wait. So there is that hope that they can take the artistic plating, the fresh fish, and tone down the fats, and let chef's mastery shine through. read more

I was really pleasantly surprised by Sushi 86! Being inside the Arcade downtown, I didn't expect much, but I had heard from a friend about their unique whisky tasting option, so my friends and I thought we'd give it a try. I'm so glad we did, because not only was the sushi delicious, but the whisky tasting was a fun, unique experience. For sushi, I got the 3-way reverse cowgirl, with tempura shrimp, avocado, crab salad, spicy mayo, sweet soy, and the hot sauce that comes with it on the side. My friend got the ELS roll (Inside-out tempura shrimp and avocado roll with salmon + spicy mayo), and both of us were very satisfied by our rolls. They tasted very fresh, and they were a good size portion. For the whisky tasting, we got the second of the two options for the flight and got three, unique, Japanese whiskeys. Along with the flight, they gave us a pamphlet explaining the history and composition of each whisky, and gave us a paper and pen to record notes about each as we tried them. Knowing the history of each drink made it more fun, and we were able to take the pamphlets home with us after dinner. The restaurant also had a great vibe, with good music, elegant decor, and excellent service. Overall, we had a great experience and will be coming back again! read more

I have been ordering from Sushi 86 for close to a decade now. I absolutely love them! Their prices are more than fair for their quality. I have yet to find a place that makes Miso Soup as good as Sushi 86. My go to "treat yo self" order from them is their Gomoku, inari and of course Miso Soup. They also have wonderful vegan and vegetarian options. I've probably tried every single thing on their menu at some point. Highly recommend. And the staff has always been super friendly. read more

Don't buy rolls they have white sauce of some kind. Rolls no Bueno. Sushi,tuna, salmon and yellow tail were good. Tuna was the best

Shout out to Lauren for introducing me to THE best sushi I have ever had! (and encouraging me to order the 3-Way Reverse Cowgirl) This roll is just as dynamite as it's name would suggest! If I'm remembering correctly, it contained shrimp tempura with avocado with a GIANT lump of crab salad sitting on top all drizzled with spicy mayo, hot sauce, and sweet soy. Yum. So delicious. Can't say enough. Would order a thousand times. That being said, my hands are incapable of working chopsticks correctly. I try and try again and I just end up with a sad pile of mangled sushi on my plate. After destroying one piece of the beautiful creation that is the 3-Way, I decided to call in back up and ask for a fork. Not only did they bring me a fork, but they were kind enough to think I still had it in me and brought over a pack of those chopstick cheaters! This was the best thing ever, and I was so glad I could still make an attempt with the chopsticks. Maybe there's hope! All in all, the sushi was delicious and filling and the staff was amazing. read more

I tried the sweet potato roll. The place was clean, knowledgeable and accommodating staff. Great location in the Arcade.

The portions are small but it's tasty and not too expensive. Most people spending their money here won't be disappointed I think.

I used Sushi 86 for several catering opportunities. About 10 or so years ago they used to offer for a sushi chef/ roller to come to the event and live roll sushi, it was great. I've also order platters and it's always fresh. read more

This is an awesome sushi place in downtown Cleveland! The interior is very clean and modern, with a good number of tables both inside and outside. Staff was very friendly and attentive and the sushi was delicious at a great price. We tried the 86 roll (this one has raw fish in it), which had tuna, yellowtail, avocado, cucumbers, masago and tamago, and it was amazing! We also had the Gomoku roll, which included smoked salmon, eel, shrimp, crabstick, tamago, and sweet soy sauce with sesame seeds sprinkled on top. This roll was awesome too - particularly for those who aren't fond of raw fish - this one has only cooked ingredients. Both of these rolls came with lots of toppings, were well made and plated, with only a thin layer of nori and rice (no padding of rice in the rolls like at some other sushi places). Also, the prices for the rolls were all very reasonable (in fact, cheaper than some decent places in CA). Only downside is that it is located in the heart of downtown Cleveland, very close to the Progressive Stadium, so parking is either an arm and a leg at one of the garages (though, these might be best deal if you're staying for several hours and willing to pay daily max), or if you snag one of the street metered spots (but these are usually 2 hour max). read more
