To find sushi in Scranton, inside The Marketplace at Steamtown, is like finding a codec call hidden in an old save file—you don’t expect it, and yet when it happens, it changes the narrative. Amori Sushi is exactly that: a sudden strand connecting me back to Japan, my home, my memory.

Sitting down here, I felt time bend. Outside: the fading echoes of 90s Americana mall culture, the tiled floors, the fluorescent nostalgia of The Office. Inside: the intimate precision of Japan, a taste of Shibuya or Shinagawa carefully folded into Pennsylvania. It was dissonance, and yet it worked.

The fish was fresh, deliberate. Each piece of nigiri crafted with intent, not just served. It reminded me of level design in Metal Gear Solid 1—nothing wasted, every element purposeful, every detail placed to serve the larger experience. The rice was balanced, not overpowering, carrying the flavor the way a soundtrack carries a cutscene.

More than taste, though, it was feeling. For a moment, I was back in Tokyo. The rhythm of the meal—the way it slowed me down, demanded I pay attention—was the same rhythm I sought in Death Stranding. A reminder that connection is not only between people, but between places, between moments, between lives.

That this exists in Scranton, in the second floor of a mall, feels surreal. Like discovering a hidden mission in a game you thought you had finished years ago. A secret level that suddenly reframes the whole experience.

Five stars. Not only for the food, but for the return. For the way Amori Sushi bridges continents, eras, and emotions in the most unexpected of settings.

Eating here was not just a meal. It was a homecoming.

The octopus salad was not what I expected,as I have only eaten the Spanish style octopus salad. It was delicious and refreshing! Full of Asian flavors,explosive or textures and satisfying to my taste buds!! The sushi rolls were fresh and also very good.my 2yr grandson enjoyed the shrimp tempura roll. Quaint place open spaced ,food good, friendly faces .

The food is tasty 😋
Service is excellent 👌

Tried 4 different rolls, they were mediocre at best. The mayo on the crab was a bit of, I had an upset stomach The rest of the day. The spicy combo had 0 spicy.

Really bland and no flavor for a Chicken habachi probably the worst I had from a restaurant but not disgusting 2/5

Food may be good if you are willing to wait 20 minutes for salad and watch them serve others first that came after you. Not wasting my time or money again

Good sushi in Pennsylvania good I love the sushi it good

We were so surprised to find fantastic Japanese food on the second floor of the Steamtown mall in Scranton. Don't let the appearance fool you, they're surprisingly legitimate and delicious.

I judge a Japanese place by the quality of their eel and avocado hand roll. If the eel is chewy or fishy, if the sauce is too sweet, if the nori is too soft, if the sushi rice is indelicate, then that tells you everything you need to know about the restaurant. This place nailed it, though I had to order it off menu. I mean they NAILED it. It was as good as any non-Michelin Japanese hand roll I've ever had.

Their Ebi (shrimp) Tempura appetizer is large, fresh, and delicious, with an inventive sauce. This isn't a pure 100% Japanese influenced sauce, it's got Western stylings, but forget the sauce, the tempura itself was close to perfection.

The chicken ramen was again not classical or pure Japanese style, but that doesn't matter. The chicken, broth, and noodles were all perfect. The addition of broccoli and carrot was welcome and yummy, done in the way that I've had broccoli and carrot in other Japanese main courses in Manhattan and elsewhere. I highly recommend the chicken ramen.

Their Miso soup was on point. Perhaps a touch small in serving size, but delicate, fresh, and yummy.

Their spicy salmon cut roll was better than expected. Nice flavorful pieces of salmon, not the junky precut premixed stuff, and good portion size.

There's nothing special about their wasabi and ginger, except that there's nothing wrong with either. We've had a lot of sushi in PA where either one or both were just so wrong. Not here, here it's up to par.

The people running the place are nice, the chef is well spoken, they take special orders, and although it's not advertised, I'm calling this place BYOB since it shares a cafeteria space with a wine bar and doesn't have a liquor license as far as I could tell.

Just really great sushi. I have to give them five stars even though the menu is somewhat limited. We were legitimately astonished at how delicious everything was.
