Friends sushi is probably one of the best sushi places here in town. The sushi is always really good it's not overpriced great portions great service. I always have a great time every single time I go here.
January 2025
We wanted a quiet place for a date night and some good sushi. We were disappointed on both counts. The fish was fresh, but the sushi was inexpertly rolled and prepared. The cocktails (we had a Moscow Mule and a gin cocktail) were both way too sweet. The tempura was greasy and the agedashi tofu was the worst I've ever had (cold in the center, not crispy, made without care, the dashi tasted mostly of soy sauce). The hamachi crudo was quite good, but not good enough to make...

Overall: Tucked away but shouldn't be overlooked, a great sushi option downtown.
The good: Cozy seating, low lighting, and low ceilings make you feel welcome and at home. The staff (and restaurant as a whole) were very accommodating for our 1 year old, who loved the atmosphere and friendly service. They also helped us store our stroller and baby supplies, even with the limited space. The sushi was good with some interesting options that you may not see...
