Another superlative meal at my favorite sushi speakeasy—tucked away in the Hotel Lincoln, Sushi Suite 202 feels like a secret clubhouse for those who know.
The staff and the sushi chef walk the perfect line between friendly and cool; the decor is inviting and sophisticated; the whisky is top-shelf (including several allocated bottles that you don’t find elsewhere). L
None of this would matter if the sushi didn’t deliver, of course… but, happily, it does. Course after course of delicious, meticulously-prepared nigiri.
The place seats only six, maximum, so it’s important to book in advance (and makes it understandable that they ask for payment at the time of reservation). Highly recommended for a special night out, or for any night out, really.

Absolutely amazing experience. Chef Ken is fantastic at explaining the fish choice, what region it comes from and the texture of the fish we tasted. Everyone from the bar tender to the Maitre D' was fantastic. Excellent drink options and could not have asked for a better experience!!

My husband and I came here for our 10th anniversary, and had the best time! The food was incredible, Chef Kevin was amazing, and the rest of the staff was great - going above and beyond (my husband wanted a coca cola, and when they didn't have one, the manager sent someone down to the vending machines to get one). Highly recommend!

Sushi Suite 202 is a true gem for omakase lovers! This was my second time visiting and once again they exceeded my expectations. The quality and freshness of each piece were impeccable, with every bite offering a perfect blend of flavors and textures. The chef was engaging and meticulous, making the experience feel both personal and elevated. If you’re looking for an unforgettable sushi experience, Sushi Suite 202 is absolutely worth it.

We ate here for my fiance's birthday and it was everything we had hoped for! We got lucky and had the whole place to ourselves, so we basically got a private chef for dinner! Our Chef Ken was awesome. so friendly and welcoming! The food was incredible! We left so full and very happy!

Poorly executed attempt to an experience. This is a perfect example of how much the price will not determine the quality, and will actually enrage you with the amount of money spent on poorly ventilated room with barely above average choice of fish. Please, skip this one, save your money, it's not worthy and it's offensive.

The courses are very well prepared and we liked every one of them, especially the sea urchin, horse mackerel, fresh water eel, and the fatty tuna with black truffel.
Such an amazing experience. We came to celebrate our anniversary and have a menu free dining experience and our minds were blown away. It was amazing to watch chef Chris prepare each course paying attention to every detail and serving each bite to us while explaining what it was. Our personal faves for the night were the Sea Urchin shooter, Toro, and the Suzuki with a kick!! We look forward to returning for this experience again!
Parking: We were lucky to find a paid street parking spot right in front of the valet stand.

Very romantic and intimate setting. Worth every penny and great ambiance to go with some great food and drinks. My favorite course was the snow crab nigiri.

It was great! I really like the good quality sushi and the cooktails we had. If you want a good sushi, this is a place to go!
I put the service ★★★★☆ because they did not do anything about my partner’s birthday even though I requested for it. This is probably myself being too picky but I got disappointed.
Side note, the server kept poring the water every 5 mins. Haha I thought that was kinda too much although I appreciate the hospitality.
Also, after finishing 17 courses, the chef asked would you like more sushi? Not knowing that it would cost additional charges. I think that they should explain that it would cost more if you order more sushi..
But overall, the food experience was good. The service was somewhat disappointed.
Parking: Right in front of the Lincoln Hotel there is a paid street parking and it’s not too hard to find a spot. If you want to park free, I would recommend to park around the neighborhood and walk from there!

What a great experience. Everybody working there was fantastic including chef Ken. Be aware that you are walking into an experience. You won't have a setting to have meaningful conversation with a date as the service is shared and timed. That isn't a negative but it's just how the process works. The food was simply fantastic. You could see the care given right before your eyes. It's some of the best sushi I have ever had. I will be back so I can show off this hidden gem.
