Yeah 5 stars. I don't do that too often. However this joint is that cool. EVERYONE knows about their beer prices. They are..wait for it...wait for it...LEGENDARY. But you can not overlook the value you get with their food. My lunch buddy and I ate there recently and we were both amazed by first the quality and then the pricing. My friend had shrimp tempura. Shrimp,veggies soup and sticky rice-$7.99. That's about the going rate of a good breaded tenderloin;and Tempura frying is a little bit trickier than floating a tenderloin. I opted for the 2 roll combo with miso soup or salad for $6.99. For my adult beverage I chose sake. I'll be the first to admit beer is complementary to most food;but with sushi I am old school-warm rice wine. That too is nicely priced at $6.99;for a good sized carafe. This time I had eel & cucumber and spicy tuna. I'm all thinking about what I'll have next.
Review Source:I tried the Sushi Bar for the first time and enjoyed it. Â It's a clean, open atmosphere inside and a nice central location in B Ripple (I recommend sitting at a table by the windows-great people watching). Â I really liked all the bamboo. Â
I was with a friend and we tried 4 of their rolls. Â The one's that stick out are the Christmas and Tokyo rolls. Â It was all tasty though. Â I have been to the other sushi places in Broad Ripple and I think this one is my new favorite. Â
We had sake with dinner, but yes, they have kick butt beer specials!
Give it a try.
First off, that is one hell of a beer special. Â Dollar domestics, two bucks for imports. Â The sushi itself has decent prices, not super cheap but not terribly expensive. Â We got four rolls (oh jeez), and they looked absolutely delicious - there's something to be said for good plating. Â We had three of the fancier rolls (Birthday, Christmas, and Tokyo) and a more basic Philly roll. Â I think the Philly was my favorite - so simple but so delicious. Â The others were good but the flavors didn't quite "pop" like other sushi I've had.
I don't know what it is about good sushi places, but after my meal I always feel this mysterious sense of Zen-like satisfaction, like I just want to lean back in my seat and go "ahhhhh" as the universe showers me with cosmic goodness. Â Maybe it was that I finally managed to get over my horrible habit of using chopsticks like a complete doofus. Â I'm sure the pair of Sapporos I drank helped out a bit.
I'll definitely be coming back here, hopefully with a group of folks so we can sit in that sweet party room with the circular table.
Yay, this is my 100th review! I would like to thank Yelp, the many tasty restaurants in Indy, my adventurous mouth (hmm, that sounds so wrong..), and my partner in crime, Dillon.
This is our new, NEW favorite sushi spot. I know I've probably said that about practically every sushi place we've been to here in Indy, but I'm serious; I'm in love Sushi Bar so much that I wish I could move in. Fresh, tasty, and inexpensive ($1 domestic beers, say whaaa?!!!); which is helpful since I'm on a mission to try all of there speciality rolls. My favorites so far are Birthday, Christmas, and Spicy Girl rolls. Their sushi menu is quite large; raw and cooked so there is something for everyone. Not in the mood for sushi (as IF!), their yakisoba and udon noodle soups are also quite tasty.
Make sure you get an order of Negimaki appetizer, SO YUM. ^__^
I asked for a roll without mayo, and the chef had a hissy fit. Not a "hey can you sub this for this and this for this" kind of thing, just a simple "hey, could you not Americanize my sushi to death by pouring mayonnaise all over it." He made our server come over to ask my if I would go over and tell the chef I had an allergy. It was incredibly awkward.
But hey, the roll was delicious...because it wasn't covered in mayonnaise.
It's pretty standard in terms of pricing. I would take the 5 extra minutes to go to Sakura or H20, where the chefs aren't as sensitive.
I just went here for lunch with my boyfriend! I love sushi!
This place is pretty inexpensive for sushi. And they have $1 domestic beers. You can't beat that.
It was good sushi! I recommend! It's new and it's a gem that I don't think many people know about yet! soo...check it out!
Also, they have a very nice atmosphere! Bamboo walls...NICE! We sat at a nice little table by the window so I could stare at all the people walking by.
When I get the craving for sushi (one of the only healthy cravings my body gets) I must have it. It is a matter of life or death, like choosing the red pill or blue pill, or when I'm trying to avoid talking to anyone in my office before I've had my coffee.
I went to order  takeout, and after completing my order was asked by the lovely server Laura if I wanted one of their $1 domestic beers. I can't really get over that price. I ordered my rolls, nigiri, and seaweed salad and patiently waited for my food. Excellent taste to everything. I've never seen oshinko rolls before, and my boyfriend enjoyed them very much. The chef here is just amazing.
My only suggestion is that the menu doesn't describe each item, so you will need to be a little bit of a sushi pro, or base your meal around taking a chance. I'm so glad to see this DELICIOUS business here instead of a really lame head shop.
I went back on Thursday and then again on Sunday. Â I can't get enough! Â I took my friend out to dinner on Thursday and he swears by Sakura. Â I could see him get anxious right before entering Sushi Bar. Â (I get the same way whenever I go to another Indian place that is not Shalimar) Â The place was packed and the service was abnormally slow. Â My friend wasn't interested in drinking also, so in order for him to be pleased the food had to be amazing. Â Anything short of amazing I was afraid he would never come back. Â The Tiger Roll and Statue Of Liberty Roll did it! Â My buddy left very satisfied. Â He said he's never had anything like it before. Â
Sunday night there were maybe 2 other tables of 2, so the service was improved from Thursday mainly due to the fact they weren't busy. Â The quality, again, was impressive. Â No complaints. Â
Each time going I like to try rolls I haven't had, but for some reason I always get the Oshinko Roll, which is basically a pickled radish in rice. Â It's only $3.50 for 6 pieces. Â Good value veggie option! Â Each new roll I've tried is amazing and I leave very pleased, but confused because I don't have a go to roll like I do at the other sushi restuarants I like. Â To make life easy, always ask about the specials and they'll bring you a hand written menu of their specials. Â The menu is somewhat confusing and can be frustrating, but just ask questions and one of the servers will help you out. Â I've been here 3 times and love it!
I had lunch here a month or so ago. Not bad at all!
I had Agedashidofu, Chirashizushi, and additional selected nigirizushi (uni & ikura). The fish was pretty fresh with decently generous slices given. The hamachi was nice. The tamago was pretty decent. Service was fine. Â Prices a bit higher than at other decent Japanese joints around town, but that is probably due to its locale?
The place is comfortable with a nice view of BR Avenue from the front table. The style of the meal and offerings is not "Traditional Japanese" and the sushi chef and management are Chinese, not Japanese, but they appear to do a decent job at the cuisine - certainly inasmuch as "Japanese food" in Indianapolis is concerned.
Sushi Bar - Broad Ripple is an extremely welcome addition to the strip, as an affordable (and oh-so-tasty) sushi joint. I split a boat along with three friends, and we all left stuffed. $60 for (don't quote me here, but it's along these lines) 3 rolls, 12 pieces of sashimi, 15 pieces of nigiri, and a few other random surprises!
Whatever you do, don't miss this hidden gem along the Broad Ripple strip.
And oh yeah, $1 domestics & $2 imports - what?! Go. Now.
Finally!! Fresh sushi in the midwest! Â After living here for a year, I had decided that my sushi cravings simply had to be met during frequent trips to the east and west coasts. Â
I'm not saying this ranks up with those experiences, but it is mighty fine for where we are! Â The fish is fresh, they have several 'fun' rolls that are delicious and the sashimi, particularly the white tuna doesn't disappoint. Â The Tuna Tataki is pretty delicious and they have great beer specials. Â All in all, a saving grace for Broad Ripple and Indianapolis in general. Â While Sakura has fresh fish that is enjoyable, they lack the creativity that you might be looking for in the roll selection. Â Sushi Bar has a nice blend of both...
Love. Â Love. Â Love. Â Loved being able to sit by the window and people watch on a Friday night. Â Their bento box is killer, ambience makes for a great date night, and I highly recommend all types of their sushi. Â They also have a small room with a bay window where you and your party of 6-8 can sit cross legged on pillows around an oval. Â Pretty cool for group date night.
Review Source:Pretty good! Â We've been twice and the fish seems quite fresh. Â We've tried a number of different roles and my favorite is the Naruda (?). Â Instead of being wrapped in seaweed or soy, this roll is wrapped in cucumber. Â Very light & refreshing. Â I haven't tried anything besides sushi but plan to in the future.
Beers are $1 for domestics, $2 for imports!
This place is a gem. I haven't had much sushi in Indianapolis since I have been disappointed by mediocre quality and high price, but this place just became my go-to for a great sushi meal.
Great sushi at a very reasonable price. Better than any other place in Indianapolis that I have tried so far. Just had rolls this time, but the menu has a large selection of both rolls and nigiri. I really think this is exactly the place Indianapolis needed: a true mom and pop sushi place where you can have a casual but excellent Japanese meal.
I really hope this place sticks around, I will definitely be back on a regular basis.
We decided to come here for dinner after we drove by and noticed the now open sign. Im always up for a new sushi place. We were very pleased. It was not very big but looked very nice inside. We even got a table by the window that looked out over broad ripple. We went around 10 so it was fun people watching the obnoxious people stumbling down the street
We started off with hot sake and gyoza. Ive never liked sake but it was fun to try again. I felt fancy. The gyoza was great. It was crispy and had good flavor. Â
I ordered three rolls of sushi which included spicy tuna, one with tuna and avocado, and the last was fried with cream cheese and a few other things. The tuna was fantastic. Sometimes with the spicy tuna it can get almost dry. This was not the case. It was full of flavor. The fried roll was also great. It wasn't too overpoweringly fried.
We also got the beef sukiyaki. It was huge! We both had two bowls and there was still a ton to bring home. We loved it! The broth tasted great and the beef was tender and wonderful. When I go to sushi places I usually only get sushi but I will definitely be coming back for this.
The service was pretty good as well. You could tell that they are new but they were nice and eager to serve you.
It ended up being around 55 for our whole dinner but we got a lot and drinks as well. Either way it was worth it.
Had lunch there today. Overall very pleased. Nice selection of lunch specials, I had the 2 -roll lunch special for $6.99 with a side order of hamachi sashimi. The fish was good. I like the decor and atmosphere there. The dinner menu looked interesting, lots of variety and a large selection of appetizers. I will definitely go back again.
Review Source:As we were walking by, talking about what to have for dinner, we stopped for a second and discussed having Japanese. A man ran out of the restaurant, down a set of stairs, and handed us a menu, two cards for 2 free pieces of sushi, and an announcement about $1-2 beer.
Can't beat that...
So we went in and started to order. Immediately, the service is confused. Two people came to take our drink order, which is fine, but then the same two people also tried to take our food order. This is the part where you guys go back to the kitchen and decide who has our table. But no, they were both stepping on each others toes for our whole meal.
Whatever, not our problem. We place our dinner orders and hand the waiter the two free sushi cards he had just handed us outside. He explained that the cards are only good for our next meal, not the current one. There is nothing written on the cards about any restrictions... just "two free pieces of sushi with any order." We pick a fight and win.
They also forgot our soup and salad until all the other food started coming out. We actually had to prompt them to bring it. We're kind of rolling our eyes and preparing for the worst.
And then, magically, the food was good. Agedashi tofu was fresh; salad dressing refreshing; salmon don tasty. They forgot to charge M for his $2 beer and decided to leave it off the bill when he brought it to their attention. And the 4 pieces of free chefs choice sushi were salmon and tuna... definitely not the cheapest options on the menu. Very impressed.
Overall I don't know what to think about the place. They definitely saved themselves in the end and the food was very good, but expect a lot of confusion and some arguing to get your way. Then again, I didn't see another sushi place in Broad Ripple so they might be your only option anyway.
