    This spot deserves five stars due to the excellent service, great food, and a welcoming and unique atmosphere. I came at the first dinner time slot for the omakase (sushi tasting menu). I was the only one there, so I got a personalized experience from beginning to end. The quality of the ingredients are incredible. The fish is so fresh and has amazing flavor. Plus the paired additions made it delicious. The oysters are also incredible. As someone who doesn't normally like oysters, this was one of the best dishes of the night with the Asian spices/citrus flavors. The tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and scallops were all so delicious. The tuna was ultra fatty (otoro), the salmon and yellowtail were bright flavors, and the Hokkaido scallops were incredibly sweet. The temaki roll at the end is the perfect close to the meal. Service was excellent and the chef had great conversations, explained each dish in detail, and was exceptionally skilled in his presentations. This restaurant has such a unique atmosphere. The bar seating is behind a hidden portrait door, and the other seating is in a small hallway designed to look like a Japanese alley. This 12-course tasting menu is competitively priced at $75 and was worth it. They also do an izakaya dinner (skewers) for $90. Omakase dinners last 45 minutes, and izakaya dinners last 60 minutes. Reservations should be made on Resy as there is limited seating. Please note there are cancellation visa associated if you cancel less than 24 hours in advance.

    Solid sushi experience. $60 is a fantastic lunch price for 12 pieces/dishes all in 30 minutes. Book online, and you arrive at the small NFT art gallery, there you wait until the hostess calls you in. We were the only ones for that seating that day, so we had the chef and hostess/manager Michelle's full attention. They were fun to chat with and made for a great conversation. The pieces come fast, though I wonder if it's as fast if the counter were full. Very solid selection of fish. Chef does a good job of adding flavor to complement the fish, very Asian/Viet-forward given what seems to be his background. If you're still hungry, or just want a 2nd serving of something ($5 each, though it might vary by piece), they do tell you when it's last call. It's a good place if you want solid sushi in a sit-eat-then-move-on type of fashion, but personally I found 30 minutes to be a bit too fast to be able to fully enjoy the experience, especially if dining with others. Solo? Perfect.

    Loved it. Stick with the omakase and it is absolutely worth it. The little extra on top makes it outstanding and different. Try it you will not be disappointed.

    I visited Sushi by Hidden for their $75 per-person omakase The food itself was the highlight. Out of the 13 courses, the Chutoro, Hotate, and Engawa stood out as my favorites, each one incredibly flavorful with textures and toppings that really elevated the bite. When the fish was good, it was really good. However, the overall experience felt rushed. We were in and out in about 35-40 minutes, which made the meal feel more transactional than immersive. Additionally, service and performance were virtually non-existent. There wasn't much interaction, explanation, or anything particularly memorable from the staff. If you're strictly after solid sushi at a relatively approachable omakase price, it delivers. But if you're looking for a more engaging or thoughtful dining experience, this might fall short.

    We went for restaurant week and it was a great deal. Very intimate set up, only about ten seats but a fun experience hearing about each piece from the sushi chef. Attentive waitress and all of the sushi was delicious and unique. Highly recommend! Only bummer was that they rushed us out at the end for the next reservation

    A more intimate, but quick, omakase experience that was honestly well worth the price ($65 for a 12 course) and you can order more from the à la carte menu. When you arrive, someone will meet you in the lobby/waiting area and you'll be seated right at your reservation time. There are only 10 seats, but our reservation time only had a total of 4 people, which can make it a little awkward but either way, the food was amazing! The chef and staff were all really friendly and knowledgeable though! My absolute favorite was "hamachi" but honestly, everything was absolutely delicious. Definitely will come back again!

    We have returned to Sushi by Hidden over and over again due to their creative menu, impeccable service, and overall amazing experience! We are impressed every single time and absolutely love the flavor pairing and techniques that the chefs have mastered. Because dinner only takes 45 minutes, we always enjoy going nearby for dessert afterwards since there are some fun dessert and beverage options nearby in Rice Village! Can't wait to come back!

    This was an awesome experience. My date booked the evening and the food and service was exceptional. Tyson and another gentlemen took care of us. We ate 10 courses and had two bottles of sake. I would be lying if I said I remembered the names. That's how much fun we were having. The scallop was so delicious as was everything else. Run don't walk for a one of a kind experience.

    This place was incredible! The fish was so fresh and I love how they do a chef's choice menu. My favourite was flounders fin (Hirame). The staff were so friendly! I also love the location and ambiance. I wish it were a longer time though, since it is super quick about 30 minutes. I do like the convenience, but wish it were a bit longer to really enjoy each piece.

    When you first walk in, it appears like a posh art gallery with tons of pictures of NFTs and dangling flowers from the ceiling. Then a hidden door opens and you step into a small room, with 10 seats at a counter. There, you meet the chef, who introduces you to the 12-course menu. He explains each fish and flavor and how to properly enjoy the meal, such as eating with your fingers rather than chopsticks and flipping the fish so you taste the fish and seasonings first. After that, you have the option to try some of their a la carte options. In summary, truly a well-done experience. The meal is quick, no more than 30 minutes, and while the portions are small, it leaves you satisfied but not too full, and with just enough room for dessert. I had their yuzu harmony mocktail, which really paired well with all the dishes. Each dish was a different type of fish with a different type of seasoning. They specialize in dry aged fish, so each piece was tender, no fishy taste, that melted in your mouth. Even for not being a big fish person, each bite was delicious. The different seasonings they used worked well, with a range of spicy and savory, while also adding interesting textures and crisp to the bites. I wouldn't be able to tell you which was my favorite dish. The chutoro sashimi and the scallop foie of the a la carte menu were also fantastic. The service was great, truly what you would expect in a restaurant that only sits 10 at a time. It was a very personalized experience. And for the price of $60 per person for the set, it's worth it. Our bill ended up on the higher side ($600+ for 6) due to drinks and al la carte, but overall, was very impressed. Will definitely need to be back!

    This cozy sushi spot is nestled in rice university. I came for the dinner omakase and was not disappointed. I loved how each reservation was just for your party. It felt like we rented out the place. They offer byob and chilled our bottle of wine. The omakase experience was 45 minutes so I felt a little rushed, but the service was still good. The restaurant has a picture worthy entrance and they play great music.

    Ashley W.

    This is a really cool concept! You have to reserve your spot in advance, and each group there are six people. Make sure you're on time, because they start right on time and there are usually groups right after you. I like how the entryway looks like a art museum. And then the door is hidden behind a painting. She is really knowledgeable about what type of fish and what flavors complemented it well. I thought the timing of each dish was nice, and not too rushed. There were a lot of fish that I tried that I have never even heard of before. I like how there were many different textures in each dish. They pay meticulous attention to the plating and making it look nice. This is a really great value. It seemed like a personal experience, even though there are a few other people in the room with you! Parking is a little hard to find, there is some parallel parking in the nearby streets.

    This sushi Omakase that is very affordable is also hidden which definitely gives off exclusive private vibes. The setting is very intimate with a maximum of 12 people I think being seated at a time and it's very important to book reservations in advance. We were absolutely in love with every sushi and Nigiri piece that came out. The chefs were very entertaining and interacted with us the whole time! The only thing to keep in mind is that they have a very strict time limit, and so it can feel a little rushed at times, however the food and the sake makes up for that. It was a great day experience and I really recommend !

Upon arrival, I was told that I could not sit at the sushi bar and eat. If I wanted to order I had to go sit in the common area of this dining hall. After this discussion, I said fine and asked for a menu. They then told me I had to get up and order at the register and view the menu glued to the counter. They took the order of a couple who sat down maybe 2 minutes before me in front of me. I will never come back to this place. They seem to be the last man standing in this dining hall, and with this kind of customer service, they won't last much longer. It's a shame because I love the food and I am a regular at handies and aiko as well. Won't be back to any of them.

The restaurant itself was pretty packed - there wasn't any parking (but they do have an overflow lot you can use). Inside the vibe was nice & upscale. It was surprisingly not intimate & was a little loud. The bathroom hallway was very cool (as the other reviews have said) I got the three course lunch w/ an added chutoro nigiri. The restaurant week lunch was fine, but the nigiri really stood out. I wish they would've had even just one nigiri on the restaurant week menu. The kombu salad was good & had nice flavor without being too overpowering. The hamachi crudo was awesome!! I'm a big crudo fan, but this one was above and beyond my expectations. All of the flavors played so well together & my yellowtail was so fresh and light and buttery. I loved the creaminess of the sauce & how it balanced the acidity of the tomatoes & onion so well. I savored every bite. Honestly the hand rolls left a lot to be desired. The kani hand role wasn't super great. The flavor was mid & the texture felt a bit off. I also thought sake hand roll was just ok.. My chutoro nigiri was also awesome. The cut was beautiful & the fish was super fresh and had an awesome texture. It just melted in my mouth. I'll definitely be back to try the lunch nigiri tasting menu. I'd recommend trying this place, just make sure to get the crudo or nigiri

    GENERALIZED REVIEW:…read more Came here with a friend from theatre after a full run--he had this place recommended to him by another theatre friend, so we're just passing on the word. The plaza was a bit confusing to navigate, and I'm pretty sure if the place weren't full of Asian parents and their kids, it would've felt like the shadiest place ever because you have to enter from the back. Otherwise, the plaza had a lot of great-looking stores overall. My first go-to: I've loved drinking Kirin Light ever since I discovered it in Chicago. The flavor is literally so light, with a slight acidity that brightens up my meal. The sake here was frankly also delicious. I didn't order it, but my friend did, and they had it warmed. The flavor was soothing and subtle, almost like tea. It was exceptionally easy to drink, and the ocean-themed ceramicware was a beautiful touch. We ordered two rolls: the Shaggy Dog and the Truffalufagus (a fun tongue-twister). I personally chose the Truffalufagus (which is not fun to spell) because it seemed like the most unique dish on the menu, and I enjoyed it very much. What I liked most about it was that it was subtle yet impactful. I also loved the textures--from the internal crunch paired with the fresh jalapeño to the softness of the fish. I'm glad I gave this roll a shot, and I would be excited to try it again anytime. The Shaggy Dog was great, but it appealed less to my flavor profile. It was a little too rich and creamy for me. I recommended this place to my BF as a potential future date spot--I personally think he would like it... if he weren't the type to enjoy AYCE sushi so much. If they had more unique rolls, I would definitely come back just for those. I was tempted to order the Surf and Turf for this round, but I didn't want to seem like a glutton, hahaha.
