This was a lovely experience. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. The sushi is fresh and delicious. The service was excellent.
It was within walking distance from our hotel. I was thrilled to have such a delicious dinner so conveniently located.
I absolutely recommend this quiet, privately owned sushi restaurant.

The staff here was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We sat at the bar, and the chef made the experience even better—warm, engaging, and clearly passionate about his craft. He encouraged us to try new things, proudly shared his creations, and even recommended exploring other local sushi spots while still expressing excitement to see us return.
The food itself was outstanding. The rolls were well-balanced and beautifully formed, with fresh, tender fish and portion sizes that felt right for the price. The house sauce was a standout, and finding freshly prepared wasabi was such a rare and exciting treat—it really elevated the flavors to another level.
Overall, it was a memorable dining experience, and we will definitely be back.

Absolutely love this place. Nigiri and Sashimi is always ice cold and melt in your mouth cuts. Their specials are always delicious and creative. Different types of rolls to choose from.
Service is wonderful
Restaurant is small, be prepared if you go during busy mealtime hours as there may be a wait. There is an outside seating area that you can also enjoy.

My wife and I have been trying sushi places all around the area and this one definitely was our favorite by far!!
The Salmon belly was amazing and all of the fish was super fresh and well prepared! Chef Sister Kelly and Amie took great care of us! We love a family owned restaurant. Will be back!

Tsukin Sushi Bar is hands down one of the best sushi spots I’ve ever been to, and a huge part of that is thanks to Chef Kelly. His skill set is next level—the precision, the freshness, and the artistry of every dish are absolutely on point. You can tell he takes pride not just in how the sushi tastes (which is phenomenal), but also in how it’s presented—it’s like edible artwork.
On top of that, Kelly is incredibly personable and easy to talk to, which makes the whole dining experience even better. It’s rare to find a chef who has both world-class talent and the ability to make guests feel genuinely welcome.
If you’re serious about sushi, make sure you sit at the bar and watch Chef Kelly work his magic. Easily one of the best chefs I’ve had the pleasure of eating from.

This place is hands-down one of the best sushi spots I’ve ever been to! The fish was incredibly fresh, the rolls were beautifully made, and every bite had so much flavor. The menu had a great variety—whether you’re into classics like salmon nigiri or creative specialty rolls, there’s something for everyone.
On top of the amazing food, the service was just as impressive. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely made the dining experience feel special. The atmosphere was clean, modern, and welcoming—perfect for a casual dinner or even a date night. I took my mom and boyfriend out for a get together and it was great! They Recently went under new management 2 years ago, and really upped the game in regards to service and atmosphere!
I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit. If you love sushi.
The chef Kody, was absolutely amazing and even offered us to try new dishes that we had never had before and cared about our feedback. 10/10 recommend.
