21 Best Sushi Bars in Gainesville

“The Onion soup is amazing along with the Sushi ! 5 ⭐️“

“Happening place, very busy, staff was great and cordial, made some good recommendations. Very well prepared dishes, my daughters and I enjoyed the food very much. What could have been better? The air conditioning was running at full capacity and it wasn’t enough fresh air, specially at our table close to the open kitchen. It’s early August so it’s understandable. I’m coming back again later this fall!“

“The AC today was NOT working... I order a Red curry which was extremely good but I was sweating because of the broke AC LOL. The server was very helpful sugesting different plates, my daughter had a California roll which was very good. I would come back and hopefully the AC is fixed! Lol this is why I am giving the 3 stars, but the ambiance is really nice, clean and neat!“

“Good service, fast and consistent quality. I’m addicted!“

“My first time trying Koto, and it was good. I ordered take out and really enjoyed the fantasy roll and fried rice. I can't wait to try other options.“

“Amazing experience & food!“

“I found this hidden gem last year and eat here at least twice a week since they opened. The food is the best Asian cuisine I’ve ever eaten! The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the owners Bennie and his wife Fannie treat each customer with ta friendly and respectful atmosphere. Their attitude is also reflected by the staff. The prices are very reasonable and portions generous. A hidden gem!!!!!!!“

“Got the bulgolgi hot pot and crab rangoons and it was delicious and our waitress Kate was friendly and knowledgeable.“

“Well after seeing such great reviews for this restaurant. It has only been about a month and a half. And it shows, waitstaff was running around crazy to make sure everyone was accommodated.
Well its situated in a small strip of shops, and parking can be tricky as there are some popular venues and another restaurant there as well. We got there just at the right time, got a up front parking spot, and the last booth. they line the outer area with booths, and have tables in the middle.
Took a couple minutes for our server to get caught up, but we had some amazing appetizers, sushi and dessert was amazing too!! Sushi was amazing, presentation was awesome, and the appetizers came out hot, and the only thing i would add for the appetizers is maybe having different dipping sauces for some of them, 3 different appetizers and the same sauce for all 3.used to something a little different in that aspect, just a suggestion. The appetizers were amazing without sauce..
This restaurant is going to be a top contender in Gainesville !!
Staff is friendly and definitely Energetic with how busy they were and having to keep up“

The service was phenomenal, the food was so unbelievably good and I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about this gem. 100/10 Went for a birthday dinner and they went out of their way to make the birthday person feel exceedingly special .“

“The staff are so friendly and engaging!“

“great food and pleasant staff.“

“I cannot say enough good things about Chopstix. The food is so good and you can tell everything is fresh. The service is always friendly and efficient. We often celebrate big events here and last night we celebrated my husband's 60th birthday in the private dining room. I was so busy running around talking to our 18 guests that I just asked Titi Le to order appetizers for the crowd, whatever. She asked a few questions and brought out exactly enough (not too much which many places would have done from that request to boost the bill) and a good variety to keep us having a great time until our food came. We all enjoyed our meal-lots of 'Wow, taste this,' heard around the tables. Our orders were all correct as were our individual checks, which is often not the case with big parties. The most fun part of the evening was when they surprised my husband with dessert and a fun version of the happy birthday song accompanied by a gong. I didn't realize that our party was running late, but we were never hurried or asked to leave. If you have a fun occasion to celebrate CALL CHOPSTIX CAFE!“

“Best Sushi restaurant in Florida!!!“

“We celebrated my son today, for graduating middle school and heading to the high school. The place was packed, but we were seated very quickly, and the manager allowed me to set up a lil decor display, congratulating my son’s accomplishments! The service was over the top wonderful, food was amazing (we brought a lot home) and we’ll be back! Thank you guys for the wonderful service and for giving our small party of 4.5 such a wonderful experience! ❤️🫶🏼“

“We had the best experience tonight! Our waiter, Cam, was absolutely amazing. He was so attentive and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. We were celebrating a birthday, and Cam went above and beyond to make the dinner extra special for the birthday girl. He really made the evening feel fun and memorable!

The service was outstanding, and the food was soooo delicious, every bite was incredible. We can’t wait to come back again, and when we do, we’ll definitely be asking for Cam. Highly recommend both the restaurant and Cam’s service!“

“I stopped by this Thai spot last night and overall had a good experience! The service was friendly, and the vibe of the place was chill and welcoming. I ordered the Pad Thai, and while it was a generous portion and came out hot, the flavor leaned way more toward overcooked egg than the usual tangy-sweet balance I was expecting. It kind of overpowered the dish.

Still, I’d be open to coming back and trying something else on the menu—maybe the curry or a noodle soup next time. Could just be an off night for the Pad Thai, because everything else looked and smelled great“

“Food was fresh and came out quick. Staff displayed good customer service as they told us the drink machine was low in carbonation. We had a Bento box and a Mongolian chicken rice bowl, both were great. Definitely recommend and will be back soon.“
