Where do I want to go eat when I'm celebrating something big? SuBI! I can't think of any other restaurant that leaves me with such a warm feeling of satisfaction as I'm walking out the door after an amazing meal. It's fun to try out a new sushi roll sometimes, but I've also got such a list of favorites that it never gets old to just order an old stand-by. What a gem to have here on our little island!

Food is delicious and it's located in sort of an little indoor mall. This is an easy walk off of the main strip. Staff was very friendly and service was great

Very fresh and tasty raw seafood, inattentive staff, bad cooking, bad sushi rice, bad edamame, bad salad, bad ramen, dont get anything that involves cooking and you are good.

My husband and I had SuBI on Bainbridge Island today for lunch, it was so delicious. The misoyaki black cod was amazing, as were the rolls. I particularly loved the salmon crunch roll. We will be back!

Service was fair, food was way overpriced, and I actually had canned corn in my soup. Sushi was just so so. Much better choices, Recommend Hakata.

I wish we didn't eat here tonight. Food was unbelievably subpar, and the price was outrageous. Pro tip: Don't look at the Yelp photos for menu prices. Kids bento boxes are $18. Kids menu at a restaurant that is not upscale should not be $18. (That doesn't even include a beverage.) That is absurd. My husband and I shared 2 rolls (Aloha & Forest) and Tonkotsu Ramen. The ramen was the biggest disappointment. It tasted like instant ramen you make yourself in the middle of the night with frozen vegetables, it was seriously lacking in flavor. Honestly, I've had better tasting instant ramen. Sushi wasn't served with any wasabi or soy sauce. Service was kinda slow which is never a good experience when you have a baby with you. The woman who brought the check left the tablet that you pay on & basically hovered around while I was trying to type in an amount which is super awkward. I'm really starting to think people have no taste buds in WA since this place had pretty decent reviews.
You really need to work on customer service. I walked in for take out (first time ever ordering from your restaurant) and stood there for AT LEAST 3 minutes before someone finally acknowledged me.She seemed inconvenienced that I was there. She took my order and she told me they'd message me when my order was done.I sat out in the lobby area of the building and about 15 minutes later the woman who took my order walked past me and said "oh yeah, your oder is ready. " as she went to the bathroom.I mean, come on! I felt like I was an inconvenience from the time I stepped into the place.The sushi was okay but I wouldn't ever go back with that type of service.

Cozy ambiance, prompt and courteous service. We just love the miso butterfish with a side of shrimp tempura. A little dish of octopus and pickled cucumbers is a great way to get your taste buds activated.

Food is decent, not great. It's so expensive and the staff can be a bit rude. If you want sushi go to poulsbo, they had better spots for more reasonable prices.

I moved here from San Francisco last year. In their review they said “the best Japanese restaurant on Bainbridge Island”. It’s the ONLY Japanese restaurant on Bainbridge. The sashimi was warm (yuck) and the O Toro, which cost $24 for two pieces, was inedible because of several inedible membranes through it. I literally had to pull them out with my fingers because they were too tough to chew. The spicy tuna was mashed to a paste in the spicy tuna roll. I mentioned San Francisco because this restaurant would go out of business there with all the awesome Japanese restaurants to chose from. I can only assume the five star reviews were people who don’t know any better or didn’t order the sushi. To add insult to injury, the woman behind the sushi bar was incredibly rude and disrespectful. To the person who raved about the “fresh” salmon, it was previously frozen. Raw salmon needs to be previously frozen to kill the worms — don’t believe me? Google it. I will recommend the house saki.
