Bushido Sushi SRQ

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING A MUST EAT. Everything there is so good the service, the food, the vibe, id give it over a 5 stars if I could!! One of my favorite restaurants of all time!!!

The best sushi in Sarasota. Others have commented on the uniqueness of the rice and it's true. They are a small, family-run operation that doesn't have a delivery service. But it's worth it. The food and service are top quality.

They have earned a lot of Best Of accolaades. Truth be told, I don't know why.

The ginger salad dressing was near flavorless, but bland would be an apt description.

The mixed tempura appetizer was okay but not worth it.

The teriyaki chicken was the food given to sleeping beauty to knock her out (boring). The sauce of runny (over watered like the house plant I killed. I followed the directions but failed. I loved that plant).

The porton sizes were huge but when the food is suspect how good a thing is thaf?

My friend had the salmon sushi roles. She enjoyed it but didn't eat the pink rice. If you dont eat the rice with sushi, are you eating sushi or just raw fish?

The restaurant is in a dingy strip mall with limited parking. Inside, they have done a great job of being covid friendly (masks, take tempatures, social distance, panels between tables, hand sanitizer)

With the hundreds of place to eat in and around SRQ, if this is one of the best, SRQ has either very low standards or lousy restaurants; could be both.

I have eaten at one other Sushi place in SRQ twice if I want sushi again, it will be 3 times.

Our first time visiting, and everything was great! We had the shrimp shumai, pork dumplings, the American dream roll, and chicken teriyaki. Everything tasted fresh and was very good. I've had chicken teriyaki countless times, but the chicken teriyaki at Bushido was light and flavorful and exceeded my expectations. I can't imagine how fresh the nigiri or sashimi is.
The main reason for my review is Ivy, who provided AMAZING service! She was friendly, attentive, and gave excellent recommendations. If we ever return to town, we'll stop by Bushido again, not just because of the food but because of the fantastic service from Ivy! Arigato :)

Best sushi in Florida!!!
Homemade soy sauce to the homemade wasabi and pickled ginger!! John is an amazing Sushi Chef!!

Listen people! This isn't your typical sushi restaurant like we have in Sarasota, Chef John and his wife Ivy are the real thing! The fish is the freshest around flown in from Japan! Cmon you don't get that with any other sushi restaurant here! I know ima chef too!

Wonderful restaurant. Neat, clean, friendly restaurant staff, tables appropriately space for an intimate tasty meal. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Always love this place!! Being all my visitors here. Small place that always is extremely kind service and good food.

Very good food. Have been there a number of times now and done take out several times. The fish is always fresh and well prepared. Staff has a great attitude, and the chef is very pleasant. It's 10 minutes from the house and they always have the orders ready for pick up on time. We've done there a couple times and enjoyed it as well. Would definitely go back.

MASTERFUL !! My taste buds are dancing. Each roll we ordered had its own unique level of flavor. The tempura was light and tasty. Beyond words !!

Amazingly delicious! Very good, imaginative rolls. Always friendly service. I enjoyed the Crazy Crab roll
