WOW - this is the best sushi we've had since moving to Missouri. The cuts of fish are fat, fresh, and melt in your mouth! My husband and I ordered the Sushi Boat Deluxe and an Ocean Roll to share. While we waited for the Sushi Boat, the Ocean Roll already told us that the fish was going to be good. My MIL ordered chicken fried rice and house lo mein for her and my toddler. Man, we weren't expecting those dishes to be flavorful, but they were! Could it be? The best fried rice we've had also? Probably! The restaurant itself is pretty small, and the parking lot even smaller. We visited on a Friday afternoon around 3pm, so we didn't have any waiting issues and the staff was super attentive. We will be back because my husband and I want to tackle their Titanic Sushi Boat. read more

My family is back as Sushi Boat again. We all really enjoy this place. The restaurant is a little small and it always seems to be pretty full. Sometime, they are very busy and there is a wait to get a table. The staff is very nice and does a good job. The drinks are cold and the food is very good. We like trying different sushi rolls. They have a lot of variety on the menu. We always have a good time. read more

Now I understand why this place gets such great reviews. Came for a weekend lunch and it was super packed but somehow we got seated immediately for two people. The menu is really expansive. My friend is vegetarian so we got all the veggie friendly options. The agedashi tofu is so good, vegetable tempura is a classic, seaweed salad is generous with the portion, and the vegetable roll with avocado, cucumber, and asparagus was a solid pick. The simple avocado roll is another classic, simple roll. Get the sweet potato roll! It blew us away, it was so filling and tasty, did not expect that. We also got the tofu teriyaki stir fry which was really flavorful and comes with rice. The space is on the smaller side and can feel a little cramped but they make the most of it. Waitress was friendly. Highly recommend and I'd come back to get the fish dishes next time. read more

Back at Sushi boat for the umpteenth time...sooo good. Started with fried oysters, edamame and soft shell crab. Loved the oysters, edamame was tender and cooked perfectly but soft shell crab a big disappointment...and I've never been disappointed with soft shell crab...ever. This was deconstructed legs, heavily breaded and over-fried with much too much sauces on top. Will never order this app again. Then ordered the sushi boat deluxe sashimi with fatty salmon (soo good) red snapper, red tuna, white tuna and yellowtail (best ever ) delicious. Ended the mail with two Unagi and the rolls that were just so overstock their delicious - highly recommend. read more

Consistently delicious! Fresh sushi, large rolls, and attentive service keep the customers coming back. It keeps ME coming back. :) Absolutely love the rolls I chose tonight. I've had the Bonzai roll before and even though it's a little difficult to eat, it's worth it, especially if you're watching your carbs since this is a riceless roll. The St. Charles mayor roll was packed with flavor and was a very generous number of pieces. I tried the bang bang shrimp this time and they were very large shrimp with a kind of spicy mayo and chili sauce on top, but I have to say it was more sweet and not spicy at all. I would've liked it to have some spicy heat, but it was lacking that. They were packed tonight and had people waiting for tables, but I was able to snag a table for two just a few minutes after I walked in. There are only 12 tables in the entire restaurant. read more

Sushi Boat - Pink Lady Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

Sushi boat is a cute spot for lunch or dinner. The restaurant is a bit smaller so it's very intimate meal, but it is a nice space and they also have a small patio for warmer days. They have a nice drink selection of beer and wine. The service was pretty good. No complaints about service or wait times. Plenty of dishes to share with a group as well as options if you do not eat meat. I was able to get some grilled salmon and a side salad. Both were very tasty and good portion sizing! The shrimp shumai is also a favorite. My food was very flavorful and tasted good. I would love to come back and try their big sushi boat one day! read more

I'm always on the hunt for a great, fresh sushi place, especially now that I'm landlocked. I will admit I'm pretty picky, and I will not eat raw in a landlocked state (because YUCK, frozen or canned?!). The reviews here were good, so I decided to take a chance. The restaurant is the proverbial hole in the wall place. There's not a ton of flashy decor, and the interior is pretty small. Parking is decent though, so that's a plus! I was able to take a good peek at the menu, and I'm happy to say it has a ton of offerings. I decided to try two rolls, the pink lady and snow white, and they were amazing! Imitation crab, of course, but the flavors were excellent. The sauces were very flavorful, and the soy paper just worked so well on both of them. The waitress was not terribly attentive during my food, but I didn't really need much, so no big deal. I'm definitely coming back here. The rolls have been on my mind since I visited, and I really want to try more of the menu. read more

The sushi rolls are amazingly fresh. The hot sake on point. It is a small place, so you are very close to the other customers. Service is prompt and efficient. Like most sushi restaurants, you can walk away with a hefty price. The only thing I was disappointed about was the house salad's ginger dressing. It did not taste like the typical dressing I've had at other places. It is still worth a visit. read more

How often do you go to the same restaurant 3 times in 2 weeks with 3 different group of people? I typically don't unless it is Sushi Boat. This has got to be my top 3 favorite restaurant in the greater St. Louis area and definitely the go-to sushi restaurant. After moving back from the East Coast, it took me about 10 failed tries to find a sushi restaurant that I truly liked and I am so thankful that I found this restaurant. The staff are friendly, menu is extensive (I've yet to order anything from the non-sushi section though, their sushi is that good), and the quality of the food is amazing. Our go to order is the Titanic which comes with variety of sashimi, nigiri, and your selection of rolls (it's a lot of food, but look up a sushi bake recipe if you end up with leftovers). My recommendations for rolls are Manhattan roll if you like spice and Flamingo Dancing roll if you like to impress your date (spoiler: it's on fire). Besides the delicious and creative sushi rolls, their sashimi cuts and generous and the fish is always fresh. My one feedback after their new location in Chesterfield opened is that their food comes out a little slower than it used to, but it just means that you should get to the restaurant earlier and come back another time if you need a place for a quick dinner. read more

If you want to find great sushi in stl you need to come check out sushi boat! I was so excited when this spot opened since it was right down the street from my work and I love a good sushi spot to reset my brain for lunch. Well I was BLOWN AWAY! The ambience is perfect and even tho the space is small they turn tables quickly. The menu offers an extensive selection and they have some pretty decent lunch deals too! Anytime I want sushi this is the only choice now. Why settle for the generic strip mall style sushi like you find at other "sushi restaurants" nearby that only serve fried rolls or sushi rice that falls apart and just tastes off..? This place has quality ingredients and chefs that know how to make the food. Thank you sushi boat for doing what you do so SO well! read more

They have an extensive menu. Not just sushi but rice and noodles dishes as well. The staff is friendly. The restaurant is small but nice.

Sushi Boat is one of the top places to visit for Sushi in the St. Louis Area! The flavors are immaculate, and I have never had a roll that wasn't fresh. The Crab Rangoon and Thai Iced Tea are a must try! The service is fairly quick and the workers are always friendly. It is a smaller location, so I can imagine during busy hours, there will be a wait. It can also be a little crowded due to seating arrangements. It is a little pricey, but I think the quality of the food is well worth the price. read more

Sushi Boat - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

Sushi Boat is a small place and they were very busy as expected on a Friday night, and we made the smart move to make reservations. The food did take some time coming out bit that was fine as we were not in any hurry and the place was packed and buzzing. The wait staff made sure to welcome their guests and came by the table a few times but it did take a while for drinks to be filled. For appetizers, we ordered a round of crab Rangoon and Agi Dashi or fried Tofu. The agi dashi did not have much in the way if flavor until it was dipped in the sweet chili sauce but it had a nice soft creamy texture on the inside and lightly toasted exterior. The crab Rangoon were okay, not our favorite as we found the filling to be on the sweet side and the wonton wrapper tasting almost like a cracker. I ordered three rolls: the kamikaze, St Charles mayor and Snow Mountain. The rolls came out and they were beautifully presented and colorful. The rolls tasted fresh however I found all three tasted much the same and not much texture. I still enjoyed the sushi offerings and look forward to visiting this location again to try other items on the menu read more

Whoa! This place is SO good! We've been looking for a good sushi place in St. Charles. Our fave sushi place in the area is Sado but the location and price tag only allows us to go there on very special occasions, so we wanted a place that was closer, more wallet friendly, and still high quality fish. Sushi Boat was recommended, and it was exactly what we were looking for! We ordered the Love Boat, and the two of us were ready to die because we finished the entire thing. We didn't want to stop eating it because it was that good. The fish is such great quality and the rolls are stuffed! The snapper, salmon, tuna, and yellowtail were SO good with the yellowtail becoming our new favorite. The two rolls we got were the Kamakazi and Girl on Fire. Delish! We will never go to Sushi AI again. read more

This is our new favorite spot for sushi. Love the green tea pots, that pour from the bottom... It's an added bit of whimsy for your dinning experience. But... be prepared to wait for a table. It's so small that it doesn't take long to fill up, and with zero extra space for standing, we had to wait for a phone call in our car. It was worth the wait. Yummy! read more

We go for birthdays and it's such a nice treat! The quality of the food is great and the options are awesome! The people there are great and I've never had a wrong order. The rolls that we got this time were the Lucky Roll (the one on fire), Girl on Fire, Cardinals, and Mango Roll. Out of the four, I loved the Cardinals roll a lot and second best is the Girl on Fire. Other things on the menu that I loved were the fried rice, lo mein, calamari, crab Rangoon (because of their sauce!), and St. Charles Mayor Roll! I definitely would go again! At the times that I've gone, I noticed that it gets busy at dinner times, for all good reason! read more

Yum, Yum, Yum!!! I would like to disclose that I lived in Japan for over three years. I am very particular about sushi. This place did not disappoint!! This spot has been showing up in my Yelp recommendations. I bookmarked this spot to try at a later time. Well, the time was now!! The space is on the smaller side. We stopped in on a Wednesday evening and the place was buzzing! The team is friendly and got us seated quickly. The menu offers all of the traditional favorites. There were a few items for the more adventurous guests. I was pleased with the age-dashi tofu and miso soup. I went with a crunchy roll and the lobster roll. Both were fantastic! They offer a small selection of beer and wine. There's also a small dessert menu to satisfy your sweet tooth. I'm looking forward to visiting again soon!! read more

Met some friends and their kids along with my youngest daughter at Sushi Boat in Saint Charles as I have been hearing about this place for a long time. It definitely did not disappoint!! Outstanding Sushi in a small dining casual environment. They have a pretty big menu and you can do some other things besides sushi like fried rice, Ramen, and some other items. The bottom line is the sushi was delicious. You can tell the ingredients were fresh and it's easy to see why this is considered one of the better casual dining, sushi, places, and really one of the better sushi places in the area. So so good. And the service we had was amazing, super friendly and just made the dining experience that much better. We got to dinner a little bit late, even though it was towards the end of the night I didn't rush us, and they were super kind about all of our questions and made us feel very at home. read more

I, too, came here after seeing the restaurant appear in Yelp's 2024 top 100 sushi restaurant list. Despite the restaurant's small size, we were seated promptly on a bustling Friday night. However, it was clear that the staff was overwhelmed by the crowd, and we didn't quite experience the warm hospitality that others had praised. The menu is impressively vast, with a notable emphasis on specialty rolls. The "Emperor's Rolls" section is particularly eye-catching, offering luxurious options that range from $30 to a staggering $80 for the Black Diamond roll, the priciest of the bunch. While the extensive menu is intriguing, the overall experience was somewhat underwhelming. The high prices might suggest a premium dining experience, but the level of service and atmosphere did not align with the expectations set by the restaurant's accolades. Despite the busy night, a bit more attention from the staff could have made a significant difference. While the restaurant's high ranking and extensive menu are certainly noteworthy, my visit fell short of the exceptional experience I had anticipated. It's worth a try if you're a sushi enthusiast intrigued by high-end rolls, but manage your expectations regarding service, especially on a busy night. Baked scallops $16 - This appetizer missed the mark and did not match the description. The large scallops were not large, there were no avocado, masago nor scallions, and spicy mayo was diluted by the eel sauce. Tasted good, but at this price, I would not order again. Dolphin Bay Roll (8 pieces) $17- Shrimp tempura, eel, salmon, and avocado. The warmth of this roll created a good mouth feel and the roll melted in my mouth. The eel flavor is subtle and I would order a different roll if I was craving eel. St. Charles Mayor Roll (10 pieces) $16 - Shrimp tempura, crabmeat, and spicy tuna. Huge roll. I'm usually not a fan of minced tuna, which is the spicy tuna in this roll, but it was done well here. Smoked Salmon nigiri (2 pieces) $8 and Eel unagi nigiri (2 pieces) $8 - Very good and fresh! .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2024 read more

So happy St. Charles has another sushi place! I go to Sushi Ai often but I might be coming here now. There's so much to offer from their menu. This pictured is the Pink Lady roll which has shrimp tempura, spicy crab, cucumber, avocado, and pink soy paper with spicy mayo. It was so yummy! I can't wait to try more things from here! It's a smaller place but there's wasn't a lot of people inside so it was great after 5pm. They have fried rolls, maki rolls, hand rolls, specialty rolls, and even some rolls costing over $50. They also have chicken dishes, lo mein, lots of appetizers, and desserts. Highly recommend coming. read more

Chose Sushi Boat after seeing 4.8 stars on Yelp. Could it be that good? Yes! I had the lobster roll and a spicy tuna roll. They were both very good, flavorful, balanced. The lobster was actual lobster, not imitation. And the prices weren't even that bad. Overall, great food. Make sure you get here early, though. We arrived at 5:30 Friday, and were seated promptly. By 6, every seat was taken -- and for good reason! read more

Sushi Boat - Lobster Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

I visited this new hidden gem midday on a Saturday afternoon and to my surprise, it was not busy at all. The service was prompt and courteous. I had the Mai Tai to drink, which was very acid forward and could have used a sweet juice infusion but I had 2 so it wasn't bad. I had the fried Philly and the New York for lunch. Essentially the same role, one is fried and the other has a soy wrap instead of seaweed both were equally good in their own way. The raw fish was absolutely buttery and melt in your mouth fantastic. The fried roll made the fish slightly cooked, but still wonderfully flavorful. My friend tried three of the veggie rolls and I did sample her avocado mango roll, which was amazing! We did not have room for dessert but super happy that we stopped by this new and fantastic restaurant! read more

For a small, unassuming sushi restaurant tucked in a quiet corner street in St. Charles, this place serves up some legitimate sushi and unique platters. They have a broad menu that can compete with any higher end sushi restaurant. I started with the veggie tempura and Hamachi kama as appetizers. Loved both. I'm generally not a fan of the elaborate sushi rolls but I ordered the Bonzai roll which was all fish rolled with cucumber. I found this very unique and remarkably good. I'll definitely be back to try more things on their menu. read more
