Don’t miss this!!“

“So technically wasn't aiming to come here, but my navigator got confused(again). This is the second time I've ended up at a sushi restaurant that was not where we originally agreed upon. As long as it's good I'm always down for sushi though. They are more of a modern style sushi, with mostly specialty rolls to fit every appetite. I like how you can get half orders of some of their specialty rolls which we took advantage of. I know there was a kush and a bobby roll, a Ryan roll(?) and can't remember the last one, plus seaweed salad and salmon skin roll. Everything was excellent, especially the kush and bobby rolls. I can't believe I somehow ended up with mostly soy wrap rolls but I did. Even being a traditionalist to the point of snobbish, I was really wowed by these. My salmon skin was excellent too. The Sapporo was ice cold, almost slushy. So good on a secretly hot day in October. BUT being the sushi snob that I am, I have to admonish them for no mackerel. If you can't feed my saba addiction, you won't get my undying love and admiration.

Parking: Parking in the back“

“The menu is extensive, the sushi was excellent, the service was excellent, and extremely reasonable. A great place!“

“Such a chill atmosphere! Great service and amazing sushi!“

“The place hasn't changed a bit....! It's pretty clean, a tad more expensive than I remember. Food has great quality as usual. Overall experience is the reason for the four stars and not five stars. Nothing that would keep me from being a customer.

Parking: Depending on the time of day or events, the parking may be limited. It's street parking in a local neighborhood, steps from entertainment venues.“

“Sushi and Sashimi creations of exceptional Flavor and Freshness! Cooked items are elevated fare. Yoshi is expert regarding preparation and selection of fresh product. I look forward to each visit! Servers are prompt, knowledgeable and sincere. Thank You, truly Ichiban!“

“The food I had was awesome I really enjoyed the rice and the soft shell crab app.“

“Other than not having a few items from their drink menu, our visit to DAYU was outstanding! The menu had a great selection and the food was on point! Looking forward to our next visit!“

“just ordered from them on Beyond Menu app. everything was hot a delish!“

“Very nice local spot for Japanese comfort food and a bite of soosh. The owners are very sweet and attentive. Beautiful atmosphere and fresh, satisfying food!

Vegetarian options: Tofu, Veggie options on menu.

Parking: Parking in front of restaurant.“

“One of the best dining experiences my wife and I ever had. It is a true culinary delight that awakens your taste buds. Braiden was an excellent server who takes pride in his work and it shows! Thank you for a wonderful evening.“

“This is my go-to spot for sushi in the city. While there are several more premium options for sushi, they come with premium price tags. None of them hold a candle to Origami in terms of value. The menu here is extensive, so it will be easy to find something for everyone in your party. The rolls are pretty standard, but all are good. Their nigiri in particular stands out for being excellent yet being almost half the price of some of the other more hyped sushi locations in the city. Their cocktails are great as well.“

“amazing“

“I would highly recommend Fusion Cafe. Excellent food and service. The prices are very reasonable.“

“Ordered from Uber eats, didn't have high expectations but it was amazing!! The sushi rice was perfect! The rolls were fresco and delicious and they got or order completely correct!!“

“The surf and turf roll was mouthwatering… The flavors Transcended the inner workings of my mouth and stomach simultaneously. Fresh imported cold sake was Out of this world and it was the icing on the cake on what was already a luxurious experience“

“My daughter had her 13th birthday party there in the karaoke room with about 25 of her friends. Everyone had a blast. They were very accommodating, food was great and Josh our server was AWESOME and gave us the best bang for our buck! Can't wait to go back and have an adult party this time!“

“What an experience!
We met with some friends for the Omakase menu and it was well worth the cost. With this, you get 12 or 15 different sashimi options. Each were so delectable and tasted Ike the best quality. They presented about 3 of the 12 at a time so you were not overloaded with a big platter. Highly recommend if you like the raw type. Our server was fantastic and knew every single item that was placed on the table. Cocktails were so good as well and I recommend their off menu rum drink. Decor inside is cozy and modern but very inviting. Don’t sleep on the apps as well and you MUST get the Brussels! We will be back very soon!

P.S. catch happy hour for specials on Brussels and you better get the crispy rice trio!“

“1st time eating here. got recommendations for what to try. food was very good“

“Love love love!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Food was amazing. Service was phenomenal! Everything was perfect and I can't wait to go back.“

“Great food. Great people.“

“Food is great and not too expensive! We’ve been eating here on Saturdays for lunch for a few years and haven’t ever had a bad experience with staff and the menu has a lot of options for people who don’t want to eat raw sushi yet. Sashimi is very delicious!

Wheelchair accessibility: Disabled parking spots are all right next to the ramp. Ramp isn’t far from the door. Sushi bar only has stair access, but they give you a sushi menu.“

“As always, great service and top notch food. A very nice sushi stop that is consistent, not over priced and a good experience every time.“

“food was decent. our server was nice. the hostesses were cute. 4.5/5 missing .5 for having only unsweetened tea!“

“SO happy to have the outstanding sushi place in my neighborhood now. We've only gotten takeout a few times thus far but have thoroughly enjoyed everything. The seafood salad I had last night was absolute perfection, and we've settled on the caterpillar roll being our collective fave.
I love that even the regular rolls feel special though and if course that it's all fresh as can be. Can't wait to go back and hope to get to be a regular for a long time.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian section lists 9 rolls including one with sweet potato“

“At times, when you go to a restaurant and order from the hibachi menu, everything tastes just like the last hibachi food you ate, but the food here was amazing! Even their simple salad with ginger dressing was amazing. The server was quick and responsive and the chef was great.“

“The pork belly was delicious and so was the snowcrab salad! The sushi was super fresh and I was amazed at the prices. There were so many things on the menu that I wanted to try! The staff was great and the chef came out to check on us with each dish we ordered! I can’t wait to go back! (Plus it’s just up the street from me!)“

“Very popular modern style sushi & sake bar on Magazine. Happy hour menu with a handful of sushi items and cocktail specials. Good staff, friendly place, especially Ty, a consummate creative. It must be nationally renowned as there are a lot of celebrity-signed portraits.“

“Shogun is so great restaurant. I love Shrimp tempura appetizer including grilled shrimp. I also love fried rice and rice patties. The manager is so nice and friendly. Service is great and polite.“

“Food was very good. Only reason I gave it 4 was because I was camping the toilet 20 minutes later, but maybe that wasn't their fault.Server was nice and all, but forgot to get us some of the sushi we marked on the sheet.Good price for the amount of food you get with the lunch hibachi.“

“Good portions, friendly service, fresh!“

“This place is phenomenal! I couldn't believe how fresh and delicious this sushi is. I decided to pop in and grab a quick bite before meeting some friends. The owner is such a nice fellow. Everything was so clean and fresh! The sushi was so delicious I didn't want to put any sauce on it. Lol. The soy sauce was solid quality and the spicy mayo had just the right amount of kick. Top notch and I will definitely be back! I ordered the crab stick roll and tuna roll.“

“Must go. Amazingly fresh and so so delicious. We’ve had omakase all over the world and these are some takes on nigiri that I’ve never tasted before (hard to do!). Wonderful combo of super fresh fish flown in from Japan and local seafood. Can’t recommend more highly- it’s charming and authentic and a great value to boot. Holly and chef Jose and crew know what they’re doing. ❤️ 🍣“

“This place is definitely improved. If you stayed away from it because you didn't like the old Chinese Tea Garden, give them another chance. They have an all you can eat menu at 25.99! You can't beat that. Also they have the best sushi in this part of town.“

“This is a small cut out at the food court by the pier. I reccomend parking in paid parking, going right, and the straight until you hit the rail tracks. Don't cross! Go up the stairs to your left. It's located in the "Jax Brewery" .Single employee working and just has the service of any food court.Rolls are $8-$15. Cheapest roll I could find was $7.99.Poke bowls are $12 and there are just a handful of options.I read there was a lunch special, that is not true. Or at least I couldn't find it anywhere, and the employee said the prices are the same all day.I got the grill fish for $7.99Bourbon street for $8.50And Rainbow roll for $11.99Plenty of seating and no line when I was there. (Tuesday at 2pm) Food took about 15 minutes.I did not see a wheel chair/stroller friendly entrance anywhere.Rolls were a little sloppy, not tight. The rainbow roll and grilled fish roll had too much sauce/soy sauce.Overall very yummy and I would come againAccessibility ♿️: 0/5Kid lots of room for them to run around, but there were a lot of stairs, no high chairs, not good changing area, no kids menu.Even just a side of rice was like $5“

“The food is great and the service is good...provided you don't arrive within an hour of closing. If you do, you will likely be told they are out of rice, fish, water, etc. I waited tables through college and I get that people who come in 10 minutes before a restaurant closes are the worst, but the staff here shuts down seating earlier than anywhere I've ever known. If they truly don't want to conduct business after a certain time, then they should close an hour earlier or simply clearly post a house policy stating no seating past a certain time rather than lie to repeat patrons.“

“The whole experience was amazing!! Great food and wonderful service!!“

“IMO, the menu was limited. I understand they do a lot of off menu items, which is probably what I was looking for. The food we had was great, but I like having and keeping a menu table side will eating sushi and less question for my server.“

“This place is very clean, comfortable to go to, nice and quite dinning. It has a good selection of sushi, presentations and taste is very good. You must try their japaneese cheesse cake. They are very creative at making their plates, i love that. Its not expensive its decently priced for what you get.“

“OUTSTANDING food and service. Every bite was the perfect bite. do your taste buds a favor and go to Hushun NOW!“

“This place has been around for a very long time. They re fast at making your food and give you plenty of rice. Good place for asian food around and its not expensive. Been loving this place through the years. The only thing ive noticed is that its always hot inside the restaurant, thats why i get it to go.“

“Alright Hina Hut!! We ordered sweet and sour chicken and sesame chicken. The sweet and sour sauce is awesome! There have been some positive changes since we last ordered from Hina Hut! Chicken was great! They are boiling seafood now. Crawfish, sausage and corn were seasoned well! We had a pick up order and then bought some of the boiled stuff too!“

“Perfect for date night! Felt very comfortable because of their covid protocol. Delicious food.“

“Food was excellent I loved every single item I order , they even served hibachi . I got an eggroll and a shrimp tempura roll to go with it . Only thing I didn’t like was the no refills lol but it’s ok . But overall come here you’ll love it , and prices are very reasonable and friendly ???!!!“
