Unassuming place with really fresh sushi. Don’t expect a fancy ambiance, but if you just want good quality fresh sushi this is the place to go. On par with some of the best places in Seattle in terms of quality of ingredients.
This is the place to go if you prefer nigiri and sashimi when you order. The rolls are good too but nothing extraordinary.

I’ve driven by this place countless times and I never stopped in because the outside is a little depressing looking but I decided to stop in for dinner today and I was pleasantly surprised at how great the meal was. Everything was very fresh and tasty and it has a cute family run vibe inside. I bet if they fixed up the look from the outside more people would stop in. I will defiantly be back.

If you like sushi, you need to try Gari Sushi. Don’t let the modest exterior fool you. I was also suspicious the first time I came here. It is some of the best sushi and Japanese comfort food around.
The Tsunami Salmon is an absolute must-try. I have had it more than 20 times. The flavors are fresh and delicious. Their udon is perfectly rich and comforting, and the seaweed salad is one of the best. Every dish is made with so much care, and you can taste the difference.
What really makes Gari Sushi special, though, is the people. The owner and his sister run the place almost entirely on their own, and their dedication is unmatched. They treat every customer like family, making each visit feel personal and welcoming.
This place deserves way more attention. If you’re in the area, don’t hesitate—Gari Sushi is a hidden gem that’s worth discovering. Once you try it, you’ll keep coming back. That's certainly what happened to me.

Gari sushi is the best sushi spot in tacoma. The food is amazing and the people and service are wonderful. My wife and I come here atleast once every other week and it's good every time. 5 stars!
Amazing and authentic, one of those places you find and try to keep secrets so that it doesn't get overwhelmed, but everyone should know about.

Great little place. I really like their take on standard sushi rolls using a little green to enhance flavors. This place doesn't look like much, but made our Christmas eve.
Huge menu, decently priced, beautiful presentation, great service, and lots of seating.

Went for our anniversary, food was beautiful and delicious as always. SO fresh, clean, and the service is kind and attentive. We eat here often, you should too!
This is my go to sushi place. Prices are good, fish is fresh, service is always friendly. Power of love and Crunch eel are some favorites.

There are not a lot of sushi restaurants in Tacoma, and of those I know of, they tend to think they're in Seattle and it's okay to charge $20 a roll, or competing with gas stations to make you nervous, this place is the exception. It's affordable, not pretentious, cute interior with pretty solid sushi, (I stick with the veggie options but my friends have all enjoyed the fish, so second hand account on the actual sushi)If you live in the area and want sushi, I definitely recommend it, for whatever that's worth :)P.S. I'm grading this a bit on a curve due to the other options I've had, but it's a review so definitely biased in some way or another.
