Reviews Sushi Boat Restaurant

So good! Friends wanted sushi tonight. I’m not a huge sushi fan so we found this restaurant had a nice selection of options on the menu even for non sushi lovers so we thought it would be great. Worked out perfectly, I had the kuma ramen and I was delicious. It had ribs with miso ramen, you could also opt for spicy miso ramen. Which another friend had. The portion was quite large and definitely worth the $21 I paid. I can’t wait to come back it was so good. Service was nice and quick and they also had a Santa walking around the restaurant greeting tables 👍🏻

*Suspiciously scrumptious salad dressing* The ambience is not as nice as Furo Sato, but they are a good value and I've found their quality to be very consistent over the past 15 years. They are technically located in Westgate mall, though their entry/exit is on the outside. Mall traffic demographics mean you're more likely to encounter screaming kids here, compared to some other sushi places. It just comes with the territory. They often play some sort of 90's rock/alternative music; whether that's good or bad is up to you. They do have some nice spacious booths, which offer more privacy and a slight sound buffer. Great chicken teriyaki. Pretty good tempura (better than OMG Sushi and many other places in the same price point, not as good as Furo Sato or Kama Sushi). I actually find tempura to be a good way to quickly guage a Japanese restaurant, because of the attentiveness required and the drastic difference in texture that results from slight degrees of difference in panko preparation and frying. If you've ever made tempura at home, you know how temperamental it is. I also like their dragon roll. 🐉 They (usually) get the food out very quickly after you order. Fast service is generally a plus, though there have been times when they weren't very busy and were *so fast* that I didn't even have time to eat my salad before the bento arrived! The manager is nice. He doesn't dress up to distinguish himself from the servers, so as many times as I've seen him, I never even realized he was the manager until recently. Other servers can be hit or miss. This is going to sound strange, but one of the reasons this is my go-to sushi place is the 💣 SALAD DRESSING. I don't know what they put in it (Maybe crack? No, just kidding), but it's pink and slightly sweet and I love it. Out of every Japanese restaurant I've been to, I've never found one with a salad dressing I like better than Sushi Boat's. 💚🥗 The first few years they were in business, they used to serve all these little extras with bento boxes -- fried rice cakes and other little things I don't know the name of. 🍘🍙🍥😋 I wish I did because they were so good! I really wish they would start doing that again! Overall... This is my go-to Japanese food place (partly convenience), but they still have room for improvement. I'm between 4 and 5 stars. Sway me. 😉

Good atmosphere and music. Tasty sushi! I liked the 49r special roll.

Price is very good with huge amount especially the lunch bento. But they need to work on the freshness of sashimi.

Same owners from Sushi 🍣 Boat⛵, but reinvented (as were many things) when a global pandemic presented itself. Dressing for their salads are made in house and can be purchased if you ask a server. My mother and I meet here monthly for dinner and the staff always take great care of us. Support your local businesses!!

Took my daughter here. She's 3 and while she likes all the ingredients of a vegetarian sushi roll, she won't actually eat sushi. But she loved the restaurant and the staff was very understanding of my picky toddler and our vegetarian diet. The food was great and I even managed to find something my daughter liked. They have a toy area set up as well for kids and its a very family friendly place. I was actually pretty impressed and a bit blown away to find a nice restaurant that is so welcoming of children. It's definitely a new favorite of ours and I plan to return often!

I liked this place. Had several items including Philadelphia roll, Calif roll, spicy tuna roll and shrimp tempura roll plus some miso soup. All pretty tasty and very fresh. About 40 bucks including tip, including 1 LG beer. Service was good but a bit slow. I'll go again.

I ordered a bento and there was so much food! I paid ~$13 and I had enough for two meals. It was a good sized portion of both my protein choices, rice, a salad, miso soup, and a couple of orange slices. Everything was so tasty as well! The calamari karaage was extremely crunchy, and the salmon was so soft. I will be back :)
