Sushi Bar

Holy sushi roll.
This place is tiny, yet such a gem. You walk in and are immediately greeted. You’re given menus and a paper to mark what you’d like to order and are relived because you won’t have to wait long for food. They are heavily staffed for the amount of tables there are, so you’ll never have to wait more than a minute for your water to be filled or more than ten minutes for your food.
–Miso Soup: yummy, warm, only $ 2, delivered to the table within 2 minutes
–Red Dragon rolls: incredible, filled with tuna & avocado, mild
–Christmas rolls: heard they’re a favorite, yet spicy
There’s a small, personal room off the front of the restaurant that houses a huge round booth, covered in cool shag carpet. Wow, I’d love to be cool enough to sit in there!

Tasty sushi and good prices! After landing in IND I was craving sushi — checked out the reviews and I’m happy I trusted this place (+ it’s relatively close to the hotels in Carmel). The Christmas and tempura asparagus roll was delish! Service was outstandingly attentive as well :)

This place is my favorite Sushi spot in, and around, Indianapolis! You can’t go wrong here! Some phenomenal rolls include Dynamite, Spicy Girl, Tiger… Who am I kidding?! They’re all great! Love the atmosphere, the service, and definitely the Sushi!

This is one of my favorite sushi restraunts! Tiger and tokyo are the best rolls here. Prices are pretty resonable.

Wanted some sushi and decided to try a new place. I really wanted something with cream cheese and they delivered. I enjoyed a dynamite roll with cream cheese and a fantasy roll and both were great. Quick and friendly service. I will definitely go back. I forgot to take pictures and that gives me a reason to go back.

Location, location, location. That’s the best part about Sushi Bar: It’s smack dab in the middle of Broad Ripple, an easy meeting spot when my cousin is traveling from downtown and I’m coming from the north side. The sushi isn’t too bad, either, but it’s not on the cheap side.
Unfortunately, good-​not-​great sushi and a convenient location don’t always make up for the terrible service. Every time I go in there, we’re seated right away, but the wait staff takes a while to come by, and the food takes forever. When I came in with a party of five, it took well over an hour before we ate, and the wait staff was rarely around to refill water and never said anything about how long we’d been sitting there.
Sushi Bar is a decent spot if you’re in Broad Ripple and craving sushi, but for the $ 20 I usually spend on a couple specialty rolls, I could go into an unlimited sushi place, get a lot more for the same price, and have an overall more pleasant experience.

The menu is quite large and therefore many options. Various nigiri and rolls hit the spot like it always does. This is my fave sushi spot in Indy. After travelling outside of Indianapolis to various sushi restaurants, I discovered the term omakase, which is a chef’s choice of what you get to eat. You normally just give a dollar amount and then the chef does his magic. it’s a true compliment to the chef because he/​she gets free reign on what you eat. Either the server didn’t translate it correctly, because we were offered the «love boat» which was a menu item. It defeats the point of true chef’s selection (omakase). We ended up having nigiri and rolls. I left a bit disappointed; but no biggie. I’m a fan of this spot.

I had the Fantasty Roll with spicy tuna and avocado and crispy crab flake on top and eel. It is so traditional Japanese dish and delicious. Fish and seafood are fresh and great
Great service too

Finally checked out this Broad Ripple hot spot over the weekend with a few friends. I saw they took reservations so figured better to reserve a table than be sorry. Talked to a very nice lady on the phone and everything was set for Saturday night at 7:30. We arrived and as I suspected it was packed. But not to worry because I had set a reservation. To my surprise when we arrived and I told them my name they quickly said «outside?». I was never asked while making the reservation for a seating preference. The inside was packed. Not an empty spot in the place. There was a few brave people sitting outside in the 60 degree weather. I am usually all about outside dining but not when the sun has set in October in Indiana. It was soon to be arctic chill and I like my miso hot. Feeling let down that they had not reserved us a table inside we agreed to wait. We did get the first table that got up about 10 – 15 minutes later.
We ordered seven rolls and split them among the three of us. Wow, we were all blown away. Favorite roll was the sun roll. The tuna, salmon, and crab mixed with a little bit of spicy sauce was the winner of the night. It was a last minute add to our order and I am glad we went for it. Phenomenal. Christmas roll was excellent as well. I paired my sushi with a Sapporo Japanese beer.
Overall the sushi was great and made me forget about the mishap upon arrival. I will be sure to specify seating next time when making a reservation.

The sushi was fresh and superb for an Indy sushi bar. Great outdoor patio seating for the nice, warm days and plenty of seats indoors as well. I loved the décor inside, I literally felt like I was in an exotic forest with the bamboo walls and plants. The staff was friendly and patient since I couldn’t make up my mind for the first 10 minutes. We got the tiger (my fav), narudo (no rice, wrapped in cucumber for the non carb eaters), Boston, Alaskan and the tuna nigiri. Everything was phenomenal but the Tiger is a must try. You can tell how fresh the fish is by the redness of the tuna
The only complaint is that I wish the sushi and descriptions were consolidated onto one menu and in alphabetical order.

By far one of the best sushi places I’ve ever been. Used to frequent the sushi place down the street but was told about this place and my mind was blown. While the sushi takes a little bit longer, it has always been well worth it. Everything from the cheap drinks to the rolls is outstanding. I always order off their specialty menu and am never disappointed. Definitely come here!

Been here couple of time.
Pros:
1. Location, definitely great
2. Outdoor seating, get to see party in broad ripple
3. I won’t say great, but good sushi
4. Celebration roll, tiger roll are my favorites

DO NOT GO HERE!!! The only redeeming thing about this restaurant was our waitress, Cindy. She tried her best to help, but despite her best efforts, we were left stunned and in disbelief at how horrible the management treated both the patrons and the wait staff. The management should be ashamed for not coming to our table to defend their decision not to take off a meal which was served at least 45 minutes after two others in our party received their meals. The worst part is the meal was not worth waiting for! It was total CHAOS! Some sushi arrived while others were forgotten. There were only four people in our party, and while waiting for sushi isn’t something unusual, we have never had meals arrive in bits and pieces over a 45 minute time period!
Two other parties near us had similar problems and the kitchen was blamed every time. Interestingly, one party next to us walked out and cancelled a meal that was forgotten. There were so many mix-​ups and excuses and apparently many apologies that went out tonight, but little to make customers want to return.
The worst part of this experience was that it cost us a lot of money! We work hard for our money but apparently the owner of this sushi bar does not recognize this. If you ignore this review and try it anyhow, just remember not to blame Cindy — she’s a sweet gal who should not be cheated out of tips just because the management cowers in a corner and refuses to talk to its customers.
People who came in after us and ordered after us had their food and finished eating before we even got all of our food. It was two hours of waiting with less than satisfying results.
One more thing. This place looks cool on the outside, but what should matter is good, fresh food and great customer service. This had neither! Dressing-​soaked salad, barely warm miso soup, warm and dried up tuna on the nigiri and Panko shrimp instead of tempura shrimp all lead me to say «yuck» and wonder if this place will one day give someone food poisoning.

I really thought I would love this place after reading Unilocal reviews before going to dinner last night, but I was very underwhelmed. I only eat cooked sushi rolls– I had the New York roll and Spider roll. The portions were so small! I wish they did a more consistent/​better job of saying how many rolls came with each order. I didn’t know I had ordered tiny rolls. I would have ordered another (I was still starving after), but it took us almost an entire hour to get our first order! The sushi didn’t have much flavor and it was served almost warm. I just wasn’t a fan. Try Kona Jack’s or Sushi Boss. The ambiance was cute and the service was friendly (but SLOW). There are too many other places in Indy to go to for sushi. As someone else mentioned, I’d still choose here over Naked Tchopsticks– at least Sushi Bar is clean!

Even though I absolutely adore sushi, I’m often reluctant to get it. Often times I feel it is expensive (because of course I have to order a Sapporo or Asahi to go along with my rolls) and I find myself walking out feeling stuffed, but starving a few short hours later. But this little gem has somehow solved both of my woes. Not only do I leave satisfied and remain that way, I’ve found their prices to be reasonable, especially their happy hour beer prices ($ 2 for domestic OR import?! Count me in!). Combine that with the discount provided by Unilocal for a check-​in and you are all set. The patio provides good people watching, and you can always hear music from triton tap room next door. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to some delicious sushi and an ice cold beer. Or three.

Even though I usually like this place, they rushed us out, salmon Nigiri had scales on it and tasted fishy. I was very
Disappointed.

First time here and i was impressed.
Location: Perfect spot in the heart of Broad Ripple, like most places in BR you will have to fight for parking but thats not the restaurants fault.
Building: cute intimate dining. 1 large table in back for large groups and a small room up front for a private dining experience. The rest of the seating is pretty close together but not uncomfortable. And yes seating at the Sushi Bar itself ;-) Also it was very clean and well decorated.
Service: greeted with a smile, was checked on repeatedly to make sure everything was good. Stayed a little extra and chatted, didnt feel pressured to leave even though they were slammed.
Food:(most important) was delicious! i stuck with just sushi but they also have bento boxes with small entire items like cooked salmon, chicken or shrimp. The sushi was fresh, presented beautifully and was amazing. i tried something new this time. the wasabi tobiko, and it was insanely good. very spicy! they have some really great special rolls and the traditional rolls as well. cooked and raw selections are very huge. They have a small but good selection of wine/​beer and sake.
i will definitely be coming back here in the future!

A friend and I have been trying to get together for sushi lately, and we were finally able to meet up on a Friday evening. Our normal place gets packed and we knew there would be a wait, so we decided to give Sushi Bar a try. Honestly, I had never heard of it. My friend had — and knowing they took reservations — called and made one for 6:30 on a Friday night. Judging by the people waiting as we left, this was a great move on our part!
I’m a big fan of wasabi tobiko and hand rolls, and I’ve never found a place in Indy that has the tobiko and only one place with hand rolls. Sushi Bar had both, so I gave them both a try.
Wasabi tobiko is a super intense wasabi burn. Just as quickly as it hits you, it goes away. Absolutely delicious and the fact they have them will get them my return business.
I went with the spicy tuna hand roll and was happy with it, but I think they went a little light on the tuna. For the price, I thought it was a bit small, but I’d give it a try once more to see if its any bigger.
I’m already starting to think about that wasabi tobiko again and I’m pretty sure I’ll be there again really soon.

It may not look like much from the outside, but their sushi is wonderful! It’s my favorite sushi spot in Indy.
Don’t miss $ 2 beer Tuesday!
Also, if you are in the holiday spirit, the «Christmas rolls» are dynamite!

Tried the vegetable udon, and three rolls: Twins, Christmas and Alaska. All 3 we’re awesome but the Christmas roll was the star. Vegetable udon was a little light on the vegetables, but still delicious.
The service was super quick, especially for a sushi place, and despite all of the great reviews and the fact that it was a Friday night, I didn’t have to wait hours for a table.
Also, the atmosphere was super relaxed. They weren’t trying too hard the way a lot of other sushi places seem too.
This is medium priced, super delicious sushi place. It’s the best I’ve been to in Indy so far, I would definitely recommend trying it if you’re a sushi fan.
