Great menu options including bowls, I get the salmon bowl with the forbidden rice. If weather is nice the view from porch is awesome, if not, upstairs inside seating is good. read more

We really wanted to love this place but it's just OK. The sushi was decent but expensive and the restaurant itself was small, cramped and loud. We had to yell over each other just to have a conversation. The service was slow too. If you're dying for inland sushi, try it out but overall it's just a take it or leave it kind of place. Definitely not a destination spot in McCall. read more

Enjoyed this place immensely! My GF and I looked around town deciding what to do for dinner. We came across The Sushi Bar and since I hadn't eaten sushi in years, it was a great change from the usual eateries. We shared a plate that offered a few different types of rolls and for my main meal I went with the large Kobi beef & salmon bowl with the black rice. I could do this bowl all week every week. Loved it that much. The staff was great. They were well informed of their menu items and any specials and we never felt rushed. We had gotten in on Saturday around 3ish and when we left, my GF had forgotten her purse under the table. Not a problem. They found it and held it until we got back to get it 20 minutes later. When we had returned, the place was happening. The lot was full and more people were pulling up as I waited for the GF to return. I'd like to come here during the summer when we could sit out on the deck. We will definitely be back to The Sushi Bar each time we come to McCall. read more

If you like to eat there, expect to wait a long long long time. The hostess told us to be back at 6.15pm for our table. When we showed up a 6.10pm to wait for our table she told us it wouldn't be ready until 7.15pm. In the meantime other people behind us were told that the waiting time would be only 20 min. I spent 21 years as a food service director. No business should ever have this kind of attitude. They only deserve to fail. There sushi is only average anyway. read more

Very impressed. Staff was very friendly and attentive. While the menu is fairly limited due to their "green" initiative, the options were fresh, well prepared and delicious. I respect the intent and enjoyed my meal tremendously. The view of the lake is amazing. read more

Great place! When I was told we were going to sushi, I was worried that my outdoor wear would not jive, but it's very casual and laid back, so I fit right in hah. That being said, I would have liked the service to be a little less casual than it was. A guy showed us to a table and then 5 minutes later decided he would also be our server and paid attention to us...felt weird and like no one wanted us. I was pretty skeptical of sushi in a land-locked state, but it was excellent! The Shrimpzilla roll was so good that I even ate the tempura-fried shrimp tails, which is not something I usually partake in. I tried some of the unagi rice bowl and it was also very good. Their menu is large and the $5/roll happy hour looked like an excellent deal. Also impressed with their use of sustainable species and general eco-awareness. We also had a minor celeb sighting there, so even "they" like it. read more

As regular visitors to McCall with local family ties, I wanted to let people know what my experience was like my first time eating here... We ate there Saturday night. Service was a bit slow, but it was fairly busy. We sat outside on the balcony and proceeded to socialize and eat and drink. After some time an older woman employee with gray hair came out and abruptly said "Are you done? We have a dishwasher just standing around back there waiting for your dishes." There were three of us and because the bar was still open, one of my friends replied something along the lines of "We'd be happy to bring these in when we're finished if you need to go." We continued trying to finish our drinks when she came out and turned the lights out and shut the door and then they seriously began blasting the song Closing Time by Semisonic over the house speakers. Up until this time, my wife loved the sushi, and I feel the food was okay, service was friendly aside from this one crabby bag who we felt was a bit out of line. I wish I could remember her name (Grouch or Grump, perhaps?). In hindsight I should have pretended to fall while walking in from the dark, but we left and I just said, "Thanks for turning the lights off on us. Clever song choice!" read more

I went there during happy hour and wasn't terribly impressed. The rolls were definitely on the small side and while it wasn't bad it wasn't anything I'd return for except for the view. The miso soup was super salty and the menu was odd in that it was combined with Vietnamese instead of Japanese food. read more

We showed up without a reservation on the first night if being reopened after covid so unable to get in. We have never been here but in the mood for sushi...also asked others leaving if it was good and they said fantastic!! So disappointed we couldn't get in so ordered takeout. Everything came as ordered and did not disappoint! Even ordered the honey toast and it traveled well. Looking forward to a next time when we can enjoy the restaurant. read more

My party of 4 went on a Thursday afternoon around 4 pm for happy hour and loved the sushi happy hour. We had about 5 sushi rolls and o ne of our party had calamari, too. It was all very good. Around 5 pm, the place got very crowded. The server never pressured us and we never felt pressured to leave, but this is a relatively small restaurant and we decided we'd taken their table long enough. When we left, there was a line out the front door. Parking is difficult at this location. The adjacent parking lot is not theirs and they had to warn several customers to relocate their cars. read more

The food here was very good, I had the pho because I haven't had a decent bowl in at least a year. This one was good, not the best, but definitely hit the spot and the broth was not too salty. It lacked something I can't place my finger on, I think it was a lack of Thai basil. The basil it came with was a genovese basil which has a very different flavor. Overall the sushi my companion ordered was very good, I tried both and found them both excellent. read more

We recently moved to McCall and were very curious as to the local sushi spot. We had been told the sushi was very good and I'd call that assessment.....lacking. It was amazing! Some of best prepared sushi I have had as a former DFW native and frequent traveler! Highly recommend! read more

Really pleased with quality of sushi and impressed with variety of rolls. Lots of regional beers on tap. The bad, can often at times be busy. Expansion on first flor should be open by now, should remedy that issue. read more

I spent a fortune here, but it was worth it. They were busy, so service was slow. I ordered way too much food, and so did my 6yr old. But, it was super yummy and beautifully prepared. Try the Baked Mussels and ShrimpZilla. The salmon sashimi was very fresh; I think my son ate his body weight in it before I cut him off. I need plan my next trip around Happy Hour. read more

Fresh sushi in the mountains of McCall! Eat upstairs on the patio at sunset, overlooking the lake from one block away! Nice ambience , casual, comfortable , nice servers, efficient , worth a visit ! read more

Never disappointed with the Sushi Bar. Every time my family are at McCall, we have at least one meal here. It is family friendly, great service and of course, delicious food. Highly recommend the fusion sush (salmon sashimi & asparagus)i, Pho, shrimp tempura bowl with rice and the many fancy chef creation sushi rolls. read more

Really great sushi rolls. Coming from Calif, it was hysterical to see the lineup of young Caucasian hipster sushi chefs....My immediate thoughts were 'this is gonna be good!' I wasn't disappointed one bit!!! I wish we could have sat at the balcony bar and enjoyed the view; next summer. My edamame could have been steamed a little longer. Also I wasn't blown away by the mixed poke. There was something about the cucumber flavor that I didn't enjoy, but that could just be me. Fresh sushi. Great views. Enjoyable atmosphere. This is a must when you visit. I have now been told that the baked mussels are great. Next time for sure we will get them. read more

Amazing!! We loved everything we ordered.....California roll, spring rolls, Tom Kha soup (out of this world) & the Vietnamese noodle salad! It was all so fresh & delish! We've been coming to McCall for over 16 years w/our kids & this is our first time to try! We will come back every Christmas & Presidents week! The Sushi Bar is now at the top of our "favorites" list! read more

Have loved this place since discovering it in 2010. Have traveled world and some of best sushi.

My favorite sushi in Idaho. Great beer selection too. Always fun and festive. The view is fabulous in some spots though recently obscured by a welcome sun shade. Seems like they should pull up the shade depending on time of day so we can still see the lake. read more

The Sushi Bar - Sushi Bars Near Me - McCall, Idaho

One of the worst dining experiences I've had. 45 minutes to get food. Meanwhile, the serve staff are behind the bar socializing. Will never go back. A real disappointment because every other restaurant we visited in McCall had excellent food/service. read more

Good and interesting flavors on their noodle and bulgogi dishes. We didn't try any sushi besides the Cali rolls but my kids enjoyed it. A little lacking in options for their non sushi dishes but can be considered good since this is MCCall after all. We will go back when I'm ready to break my low carb diet again. read more

I had lower expectations because it was a sushi bar in Idaho but this place blew me away! Great sizes, great prices, and a very cute location. The pace was a little slow but overall it was a great experience and I'll 100% be returning on our next trip to McCall! read more

Hi Jordan - thank you for reaching out to me privately and then again regarding my posted a review. I am sorry I am so late in responding. Please forgive--life got busy. We visited on a Monday evening in early August. The restaurant wasn't crowded but there were several other tables there. It took a very, very long time for food to begin arriving at our table. We ordered the spring rolls as an appetizer. A big factor in a good spring roll for me is the rice wrapper. Ours was slightly hard all over and the end had not been cut or wrapped properly--it was also cold and twisted into a big hard chunk at the end. Quite undesirable. We then shared the Korean BBQ. While the beef was decent and flavorful (there were a few fatty chunks), I was surprised at the portion given the $15 price. My partner and I also shared one of the rolls (I can't remember exactly which one). Again, we were quite surprised at the small size of the roll. It didn't match the $10+ price tag at all given the rolls I've had in the past at other establishments. I looked at some pictures that others have posted of their roles and I truly think something went wrong with our roll. I read your response to another reviewer who mentioned the rolls were on the smaller side. I too respect your reasons for doing so. I did some further Yelp reading and read some other reviews - it seems as though we truly had a "once in a blue moon" bad experience at your restaurant. After reading such positive reviews I wish we too had a nice experience! I truly wish your business the best of luck. I also really appreciate the fact that you wanted to know more about our experience. I should've taken more time in my original review and I have learned to now do so in the future. read more

Great little happening spot in McCall! Really fun place to go for some delicious sushi, poke, rice bowls, & some amazing desserts! read more

I lived in Japan for two years, I definitely say a wonderful experience all the way. Great food, great service, great ambiance . Thank you for a memorable dinner. Bill and Friends read more

Worst experience ever walk in @ 8 pm and greeted by the host by saying " we are not serving anymore" and not explanation for why they can't serve anymore. Will not go back. read more

They took my order 20 minutes after opening. Said they would call/txt in 30 minutes for pick up--never called or texted. Couldn't call them to get status on order. Happened twice. Never again read more

We live in DC, and the best sushi there is Kaz. This is comparable. The salmon was buttery and the rice is complementary, but not obtrusive. The innovative rolls are fun, but don't skimp on sushi accuracy and style. Good beer for my beer geek husband, and my 3rd and 6th graders ordered extra sushi and loved the miss soup. Wonderful! read more

Food was excellent! Definitely, a repeat for us, even if we have to drive all the way from Emmett to eat! Service was great, as was the atmosphere. read more

We arrived at 8pm and host was extremely rude. There was 1 group of 4 waiting and then our group of 3. The host came down stairs and said were done. Then turned his back and walked away. I like the Sushi Bar and will likely return. We went there 3 nights ago and the service was awesome. If this was my first time with this experience, I'd never go back. McCall is about friendly people with great customer service. With staff like this, the Sushi Bar will not survive. read more

Sadly, the Sushi Bar has lost its shine lately. The sushi is not prepared as attentively as it once was and has been slathered with an unpleasant mayo concoction (not just for spice). The pho is uneven (have had it served with no substantive ingredients, mostly noodles and broth). The edamame and rice bowls are okay but sometimes the protein on the bowls is over cooked. There are not many dining choices in McCall, so I hope it improves soon!!! In fact, I am a local and will be returning tonight to try again! read more

Fresh food, we had a great server with awesome saki and sushi recommendations. The salads were also delicious. We will be back.

We love The Sushi Bar! Fun atmosphere and great sushi rolls. The service is great or good/average based on the night and who is working. Very good beer menu. Our favorite roll was either the shrimpzilla or salmon river. There can be a wait but you just have to tough it out. read more

I've been to a lot of sushi bars even a place in Hawaii and somehow this little place in McCall, Idaho is the best sushi I've ever eaten. If you're ever in the area, try it for yourself! Ask for the local's menu and try the orgasmo roll, and for dessert you HAVE to get the honey toast. read more

I am not a sushi fan, but this place is amazing! I got the ginger salmon sushi rolls, the salmon was cooked, the only way I will eat fish! ;) They also have Pho on certain days of the week. A cute little restaurant that has a open air deck that you can eat on. They will make your dish gluten-free if you ask! read more

I've been here twice and gotten pho and spicy tuna sushi- both yummy. The happy hour has some nice deals. Recommend this spot!

Great green sushi restaurant! Special for the night was black rice. So happy to have sushi without the bleached white rice.

I love sushi and have tried it all over the northwest. This is the place we always come back to, my boys and I make one or two trips to McCall every year just to eat here. All the sushi has been incredible, and the honey toast is to die for! If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and try this place out!!! read more
