33 Best Sushi Bars in Sarasota

“The 💣 diggity 🍣 🍱. Not only is the food out of this world but the atmosphere is killer. The 1st time we ate there the one and only 🎙️Mick Jagger was there. 5 ⭐️“

“The sushi and salad combo were delicious, as always. Our server, Ms. Darling, added to the enjoyment of the evening---always available when needed and very pleasant and knowledgeable.“

“Food and service were exceptional. Really liked the hot green tea presentation with the tea light warmer. Very nice touch. Sushi rolls were large and very tasty. Top quality ingredients.“

“Ive wanted to try this for some time now. Finally made it happen and i have no regrets. We went after lunch. It was very clean and quiet. Service was pleasant and we had three different people check on us throughout our experience. The food was delicious. We were gifted an appetizer sample. She said it was their way of getting customers to try something new. My 18 year old is extremely picky and opinionated. She raved the entire time and was sending pictures to her friends. We will be visiting often ❤️“

“My brother and I have been in town for ten days and have eaten here twice in that time. The second meal was for my birthday because I enjoyed the atmosphere and high quality and fresh sushi. I can’t speak more highly of this restaurant and have been eating sushi for more than 40 years❤️❤️❤️“

“I’ve had alot of sushi but this is by far the best sushi in town period! Larry and the staff are super friendly and the food is phenomenal! I wish I could give more than 5 stars Bc the food and hospitality is amazing! Definitely going back!“

“Awesome sushi - as always!“

“Very nice restaurant in food, service and atmosphere. The only thing I did not liked, however, you cannot do any thing about, is that there are too many young children. Hopeful, if you go late on the day, this will not be an issue if it bothers you, however, we like to eat early. I am willing to overlook this because it is a great place.“

“Excellent sushi, I highly recommend! 🤩“

“I’ve been coming here for a few years now. I love when I ask someone if they’ve ever eaten here and they tell me no. Not only do I get to introduce them to this amazing restaurant, amazing owners and staff, and hands down the best Thai and sushi restaurant I’ve ever been to, I also get an excuse to come eat the things I know I like or try new things. Definitely come try this place if you haven’t yet. I’m writing this review as I sit here waiting for sushi…. I was just here last night eating sushi…. This place is a problem for me. 😅🤣“

“Just demolished a delivery from Tsunami which included the Sushi platter with a Kani salad… Not only delicious but carefully packed for delivery, which I appreciated…Incredibly fresh, TY Tsunami !“

“absolutely the best service, food, ambience and quality. we celebrated our daughters 15th birthday party and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was flawless. the best Japanese restaurant in Sarasota. highly recommended.“

“EDIT: Owner reached out to me and responded to my follow-up email within hours. Very impressed by the professionalism and dedication to the customer experience. I do wish this business the very best and hope that my experience was just a fluke :)

Unfortunately a solid restaurant and amazing service paired with really disappointing food. Toppings were great, rice was a bit overcooked and stodgy, and the fish did not taste fresh. Wouldn't go back.“

“Red Curry and any 🍣, fast service.“

“Hoshi Sushi is the BEST SUSHI in Sarasota! This family-owned gem is run by Starr, the incredibly sweet and kind owner who makes every visit feel like you’re part of the family. The sushi is always fresh and bursting with flavor, and their miso soup is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Our favorite sushi rolls are the sweet potato and avocado – they’re simply amazing! Don’t miss the edamame and the bento boxes, which are perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I highly recommend Hoshi Sushi to anyone looking for an unforgettable meal! 🍱 🍣“

“I was having a bad day. Like the worst day of my life. And all I wanted was poke. The staff could see it in my eyes and were super nice and grateful. They checked on me and were super sweet. I got up to clean up, and there was a box of pocky waiting for me on my table and a silent smile. The food is amazing but it’s because of the service that I come in every week. ❤️. Thank you for making my day suck less.“

“We love the food and the owners! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Always delicious!“

“Amazing food and great service“

“Such great food and great service!“

“We've been here around 20 times in the last few years. We first started going just after COVID and they were shorthanded and they said to expect longer than normal waits for food and you could expect to wait 30 to 40 minutes for your food once ordered. We've been back twice in the last month and each time took an hour to get our food! I'm not sure whether it's staffing issues or what, but that length of time just does not seem reasonable for fried rice and sushi in my opinion. We drive 35 minutes across town to go to this place because we really enjoy their chicken fried rice and my wife loves their sushi, but to drive 35 minutes to then wait an hour to get food just doesn't seem like the trip is justified. We love the food so much we'll probably go back, I just hope that either there's more help or the timing of everything improves like it used to be.“

“We've gone here for years and are never disappointed! 🥰“

“Their lunch option and pricing are great. Dinner portions are terrific. Like many Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants, this one is family owned and operated. Unlike some, this family seems to enjoy what they do. Makes the food even better.“

“Our go to place for pho.. fresh rolls were amazing too…“

“Good service and affordable sushi with decent quality. The restaurant has an old Florida vibe, and the sushi portions are small—great for those who want a budget-friendly sushi experience. However, don’t expect gourmet sushi.

The overall experience, including customer service, was good. If you’re looking for a special night out with a nice ambiance, this may not be the place. But if you want a casual dinner without spending much and aren’t looking for anything extraordinary, it’s a worthwhile option.“

“I had an excellent experience at sushi bay! Ayu, our server, did a fantastic job. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The service was top-notch, and I will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!“

“My sister and I were spending time with my mom in Sarasota, and we all love Thai and Japanese. Spice Station seemed like the perfect combination of food options. The inside area was completely full, a testament to their popularity. It was a lovely day and we happily ate outside. Service was prompt and friendly. We got a dumpling appetizer to share, and then each of us got our favorite main dish - a sushi roll for my mom, masaman curry for me, steak for my sister. The flavors were delicious. I had enough to take leftovers home, and they brought extra rice for me. It was just as wonderful the next day. Well recommended.“

“Great sushi and service for a decent price.“

“Great food very clean we love the hibachi and sushi!“

“Fantastic customer service, the food is great and well priced. Love it!“

“Muy bueno...muy buena atención. ..el sitio muy limpio....la comida rica.“

“The service and food were great“

“Loved the food & the presentation! Very attentive service too!“

“I had an amazing meal at this Thai restaurant in downtown Sarasota! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm atmosphere and friendly staff. The flavors of the dishes were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the green curry, it was rich, creamy, and just the right amount of spicy! The spring rolls were the perfect appetizer, crisp and full of flavor. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the entire experience felt delightful. If you’re looking for a fantastic Thai dining experience, this place is a gem! I can’t wait to return!“
