Ate here twice on our trip to Miramar Beach. Sashimi and nigiri were fresh and spot on. Their simple rolls (e.g., spicy tuna or salmon roll) are good - what you typically find at your favorite sushi restaurant. But their fancier rolls - the majority include "krab" or/and cream cheese. Sorry but those are two non-starters for me. So that left me with simple rolls or narrowed to two of the special rolls. I don't recall the names but one of those I did not like. The hamachi kama was typical and good. Edamame was prepared correctly. And the service was top notch. I would go here and just be selective about what I order. And I wish they would have had uni!! read more

My family and friends went to dinner tonight at Sushimoto. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server brought water and offered us any drinks and appetizers. We had the edamame. For our meal we started with the yellowtail sashimi, which was tender and flavorful. We also shared a spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll, as well as the spider roll. All of these rolls did not disappoint, they were delicious!! Sushimoto doesn't have many seats, so you may need to wait depending on your arrival time. Be patient because it won't disappoint. They do have bar seating too. read more

The best sushi within 500 miles! Even when they're busy attention to detail is always provided by their excellent staff. The items that aren't sushi are great, too! Loved the chicken teriyaki bento box and the salmon garlic is fantastic as a side order. Worth the wait! read more

Had a great experience here and had the opportunity to try something new and amazing. Grilled squid! It may seem simple and it is,... In the best way. Not sauce, not a bunch of stuff piled up on it. Just tender grilled delishousness. Served with spicy mayo which really helped to elevate the dish. These guys never disappoint. read more

This place is great! Beautiful space. Lots of locals and sushi at a good price. Most places over charge because it's a vacation destination and rolls are average at best! Wish I had read the reviews first and would have ordered more specialty rolls. We had a Fire Roll substitute with regular tuna because a local said it's super spicy. Perfect!! Looking forward to coming back and trying more of their specialty rolls. Ignore "rude" reviews they basically want people sober and with good home training. Easy, Right! read more

Absolute perfection in every aspect. Service was excellent- attentive, warm and friendly even though we were "tourists". The owner made us amazing off the menu items based on our own tastes- and I will confidently say it's the best sushi I've ever had. The green tea was delightful, everything was authentic and fabulous. The environment was your classic dark but inviting sushi atmosphere that we love. We sat at the bar and loved every minute. Will be returning year after year. Don't pass this place up. read more

I stopped by for lunch in my way from an appointment and I really enjoyed how friendly and attentive the staff were. I thought the quality of the sashimi was good, especially for around here (not very good around northern Florida usually ). My brother got the beef bowl and thought it was really good too. This is a little bit more expensive than I usually pay even for lunch price, but not terrible. I think we spent 42$ for two people (including tip). Portion size was sizeable! And filling! I would stop by here again to try dinner or regular menu and recommend to others. Ambiance was on point Although, it kind of looks closed from outside if you are just trying to look in. (Just a side note). Thank you for having us! read more

I'm very happy to have checked this place out after seeing multiple people recommend it on Reddit! My date ordered the steak teriyaki. The steak tasted phenomenal. It was tender, juicy and super flavorful! They also gave a good amount of steak in the dish, along with a side of rice, dumplings and cucumbers in a yummy spicy sauce. Totally worth $20 and we actually went back the next day so I could order it as well lol. I grew up in Florida and miss having accessible sushi places now that I live in a landlocked state. I tried three different rolls, the snow bird, viagra and mango tango. What was fun is that the second time we visited us they let me order a roll of their current menu, called the Mango tango which was fantastic. I love fresh tuna paired with mango. All of the seafood in the rooms was fresh and each one of them was flavorful. I usually prefer sushi with less fried ingredients, but really enjoyed these rolls and would order them again despite my typical preference. Lastly this restaurant gets super packed! It opens at 5 for dinner and we thought we were getting there early at 5:12, but all tables were full and we had to wait 45 minutes. Definitely expect to wait if you plan to eat here and I'd say if your party is larger than 6 people you are better off going somewhere else since their seating arrangement is not fit for extremely large parties. I can't wait to go back when I visit Destin again! It was so delicious and well worth the price! Thank you for the awesome food and service! Also pro tip if it looks dark, still try the door. They have blackout windows that make it look like they are closed. read more

Fantastic experience from the moment we walked in the door until the moment we left. We were there Friday night and were greeted when we walked in the door. Food and service were both excellent! They thanked us for coming in as we were walking out the door. Can't wait to bring our out of town guests there this weekend. read more

So after much research into the best sushi in Destin, we kept being led back to this place. We decided to try it out and we weren't disappointed but we also weren't blown away. They were fairly busy when we arrived but we were greeted and seated after a short wait. The manager was super friendly and checked on us throughout the night. The seating layout is definitely communal- one long booth with multiple tables with chairs across. Service was great, food was okay. The gyoza was fresh but the sushi was pretty plain- it was good, but not super flavorful. read more

By far our favorite sushi bar in town always fresh great ambience only problem is it's always packed but that tells you it's good

Very enjoyable experience. My neice and I had lunch on a friday. The restaurant is small, 10 or so tables and a bar that seats 15ish. Not a place to bring big groups or a large family on vacation, unless you split up into groups of 2 and 4 to dine. Everything is prepared with quality in mind, cold plates are chilled, sushit rice is room temp, the fish is cut properly in terms of thickness and orientation. The fish itself is mild in flavor, buttery, tender, and refreshing. The staff is also super super friendly. Arrive as though you are guests there to enjoy a wonderful meal and you won't have any issues. read more

Ok look, I went on a Monday in early December when every place was empty at 5:50-6pm and the 2 of us faced an hour wait. People were waiting inside, outside, and in their cars!

For the absolute best melt in your mouth sushi - eat here! Your bar for good sushi will be changed and very high after your first bite!

Literally everything was perfect!!! The atmosphere, the food, and the service was top tier. Can't wait to come back!!

Great store-front spot to eat or take out. These are not your overstuffed rice rolls with low grade fish. Classic apps, rolls, pieces, and entrees with flavorful touches. Comfortable with a nice evening ambiance or for lunch at the sushi counter. Can appear to be closed in the evening because they have very dark tinted windows. Funny signs at check in give the impression that they don't mess around with rude tourists, but we found them to be accommodating, friendly, and courteous. Do not attempt with large groups. read more

Very uncomfortable experience. One senior employee's attitude was unacceptable and discriminating against a group of young US-born Asian-American customers. The employer kept saying that she didn't understand our English. They charged us 20% tips in receipts for a group of five people. She was keeping her arms crossed looking at us while another waitress was taking our orders. Foods were ok, but the service attitude was unacceptable. Also, they should know what the "Rising Sun" could mean to many Asian nationalities. They should be sensitive to cultural significance. (Update) below is a personal message that I got from the employee. She rated my review to be "funny." Wow.... read more

The one night we wanted to come here, they were closed. So, we decided to stop by the following evening and the waitress who was very snappy and rude said "We are not going to be able to seat you and if we do, we are going to run out of rice so you might as well not eat here". This was what she first said the second I stepped foot inside the restaurant. I do not know why we even decided to come back the following evening. All the signs pointed to stay away but we came and ate anyways. SERVICE - The same waitress that turned us away ended up being our server for the night. She did come off as very rude but I think she is one of those rough around the edges types of people. She had moments where she was nice but it just came off as rude. FOOD Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura - This was a very small portion but the food was okay. It came with three small shrimps and a variety of veggies. Yakisoba w Veggies - This tasted okay and they did throw a lot of veggies in it. Not going to lie though, the frozen veggie yakisoba tasted better than this. Chicken Teriyaki - This came with pork gyoza, cucumbers, oranges, and rice. The chicken was SO DRY! The pork gyoza was hard. The cucumbers and the oranges were the best thing. Moto Roll - Mediocre roll. Bacon inside was burnt. Surf n Turf - There was no flavor at all. Tasted like a piece of steak rolled in rice. Overall, we were so disappointed that we came back here to eat. read more

Tried to go here twice and both times we would call ahead and ask if they could sit six and both times they said no! She told us they were too busy and sorry. Weird to hear from a restaurant but I'm local and now consider it a challenge to get in there. I wish I could speak to the food but not yet! read more

If I could provide Zero Stars, I would. The Owners, when we first went there like three years ago, were outstanding and hospitable. My family recently went there, and the hostess and staff disrespected my wife and children and basically made it seem they were no longer a family-friendly restaurant. Do not go here if you want great customer service. The staff has become arrogant and not appreciative of repeat customers. read more

Just got back from our recent trip to Florida and my wife, daughter and I were in a mood for some Sushi and we ended up at Sushimoto. This was the first time at the restaurant which is located in a strip-mall. We got there just at the right time, by the time we sat down, a number of people started to show up and by the time the server took our order, the place was filled up and with no empty tables. We ended up ordering a tuna roll, California roll, a number of rainbow rolls, smoked salmon, salmon sashimi, a vegetable roll, a crunchy tuna and JOJ (Just off the Jet) roll. My two favorite rolls were the Crunchy Tuna and the JOJ. Yes we did share the sushi amount the three of us. The owner/manager came by our table to check up and see how we were doing. He was very friendly and engaging. The sushi/fish was fresh and I would recommend this sushi restaurant, the food and service was good. On a side note, I guess we are a little spoiled because we usually end up eating all you can eat sushi restaurant (in St. Louis) but this restaurant was a close second. (Maybe this could be an opportunity for a sushi restaurant in Destin to offer a flat fee for all you can eat sushi? just a thought). read more

I've been on this earth for 40 years and have eatin a many sushi roll.... Sushimoto is "Legit". I cannot explain how deliciously fresh their sushi is. What a wonderful dining experience. Other Yelpers have said the service is not friendly here. I have to disagree. A very nice family run business. If you plan on coming prepare yourself to wait about an hour before you are seated as there are only 7 tables plus the sushi bar. Do what we did and Head next door for a pre dinner drink.

We have been eating at Sushimoto for over 13 years and love everything about it. The bad reviews on here are not related to the food, this place is small and doesn't have the ability to accommodate big large groups. Sometimes you can't get in because it's too busy, that's what happens with a good place that won't give up quality over quantity! Go early if your interested and make sure to look at their hours because they could be closed. Thank you Andy and Sophia for providing the best sushi on the planet for years! read more

My brother raves about this place so he decided to take me and my sister yesterday and it was one of the best experiences that I've encountered. It's a pretty small sushi restaurant and I heard that the wait time can exceed 45 mins if you go on a weekend during dinner hours. Luckily, we arrived around 5pm on a Saturday before the dinner rush. Upon walking in, the restaurant felt really cozy. It's a family run business and the staff was very cheerful, inviting, and warm. Our server Polly was such a sweetheart. Always checking up on us and making sure that we were comfortable. No water on that table was left empty. The head chef checked up on us too! The menu was very simple. Basically your usual appetizers like cucumber salad, edamame, etc. They have a few sushi rolls, sashimi, and nigiri. Also udon, teriyaki, and tempura. I usually don't order sashimi at a sushi restaurant, mainly just rolls. However, my brother insisted that I try the sashimi. I ordered the edamame, octopus, and tuna sashimi (3 pieces each kind). My sister and brother had the sushi and sashimi combo that included various types of fish sashimi, nigiri, and a California roll. My sister also got the cucumber salad. We decided to share everything. The edamame was good and I like that they let you salt it yourself, because alot of sushi places tend to oversalt their edamame. Cucumber salad was refreshing and light. They added some shredded imitation crab on top that added a nice flavor. The dressing was just right, not too sweet or too tangy. OH MY GOODNESS! The raw fish was out of this world! It was incredibly fresh and melted like butter in my mouth. There were no fishy aftertaste in any of the raw fish (tilapia, tuna, yellowtail) that I ate. I hate fish with an aftertaste and the fish here tastes super clean. The octopus was not rubbery but soft. I was really surprised how much I liked the tilapia because I usually don't eat tilapia, let alone raw. The sashimi were thick slabs too! The California roll was delicious too, even with just basic ingredients. The avocado was super creamy and the cucumber had a nice crunch. Overall, this place is worth checking out. Kinda pricey but the quality is really great. Will definitely be back when I'm on that side of town. read more
