Awesome place to get sushi! My fav is the California roll! Also the Frushi roll is pretty sweet! Literally! Lol

I loved the almost new concept of custom made rolls to order and fast. We are long time sushi fans and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Generous portions and sauces. I shall be returning here again and again.
(5)Danielle W.
Love that you can make your own rolls right in front of you! Quick & Easy, Great sushi! All of the guys that work here are so welcoming and helpful!

Kind of a cheesy take on sushi. Cafeteria style and it's really just rolls. Order some from the menu or a la carte. It's a sub shop for sushi. Not really my thing. Food was decent enough, but seeing my roll/rice wrapper emerge from a machine to start the process just killed it for me. Go there if you are just obsessed with sushi rolls, don't care about a sushi dining experience, and/or are just pressed for time.

The wife and I have been meaning to stop in here for lunch sometime and finally got around to it. And now I'm sad that we didn't earlier. It's a weird ideal - picking your own sushi fillings / toppings - but it works. I didn't pick out anything too crazy, which helped make it enjoyable. I could see someone being disappointed if they don't know what they like and try to be too adventurous. Luckily, if you're that guy, they have house rolls that you can order to ensure a good sushi experience. All the ingredients we had on our rolls were fresh and tasted great. The miso soup and salad were also good, albeit nothing special. While the quality overall isn't gourmet, I believe the price reflects that (three rolls, two drinks, a soup and a salad for about $30? I'll take it!). The staff was also very helpful and guided us through the whole process since it was our first time. They really helped make our experience five star. So thanks for a great experience, Sushi Boss. I think Arnold said it best: "I'll be back."

Ermahgerd! - yes, I did just utilize a viral internet phrase that is clearly "so last year" to describe Sushi Boss. But I don't feel bad about it, at all! If you ask my fiance, I'm annoyingly obsessed with Sushi Boss...because it's basically the only place I want to go. As you've read from previous reviews it is a "make your own sushi roll" place and it does not disappoint. I've tried many, many different combinations and have personally found my favorite roll with spicy salmon, asparagus, carrots, tempura crunch, eel sauce, and LOTS of boss sauce! They even have brown rice and soy paper as healthier options :) Service is super fast and if you plan to eat in, you can also get beer and wine! 2 people can easily eat there for $20 or under if you aren't drinking. If you love sushi, there is absolutely NO reason you shouldn't be going to Sushi Boss!

The consistent theme of many of the reviews for Sushi Boss come back to the "make it your way" concept popularized by restaurants such as Subway and Chiptole (and by extension Shop House). I actually had the chance to speak with the owner, Jason, during my visit and he provided the back story regarding how Sushi Boss came into existence. Up until last year, he had never even tried sushi. But his wife convinced him to try a few of the more "non-threatening" rolls (think California and spicy tuna rolls) and afterwards he was hooked. But the innovation here is Jason thought wouldn't it be a great idea if the customer was able to walk into a place and given the choice of fresh ingredients, build their own sushi rolls? As of this writing, Sushi Boss has been in operation for about 7 months but I think this place has staying power. Just understand the menu here is NOT geared towards the sushi aficionado, so you will not find any eel, sea urchin (uni), scallops, or even any tamago (sweet egg - which I think they should add since it's very popular). But there are raw offerings such as tuna and salmon. But there are also non-traditional items such as roasted chicken and short rib beef. I sampled the wicked spicy tuna and the "That One Roll". I watched from start to finish as I selected the type of wrapper (traditional seaweed), the type of rice (brown or white), and then was able to specify how much jalapeno, avocado, and other ingredients I wanted in my roll along with the proteins. And I especially like their "finishing station" where customers can opt to add sesame seeds, amount of wasabi, and even tobiko (extra charge) before serving. The rolls are HUGE so it's a good value for the money. However, I think they need to refine the recipe for the sushi rice because it is a bit too glutinous for my taste. Perhaps a bit more sushi vinegar and time to rest would make the rice less sticky. Otherwise, the rolls were tasty. My tuna roll was not "wickedly" spicy but an extra smidge of wasabi satisfied my desire for heat. The One roll was interesting since I have never had cooked meat in sushi, except for the suddenly trendy infusion of SPAM when I was visiting California. The short ribs were cooked down so the beef was tender, although I think it would've tasted better if I had just gotten the beef by itself instead of combining with the crab stick. Just a note, with the cooked sushi ingredients (especially the warm stuff) I'd recommend eating in one sitting because the left over roll was not so good the next day. Overall, a good experience. The place itself is clean, the condiment station well stocked, and thoughtful touch to provide take-out containers since portion sizes are generous. I would not be surprised to see the Sushi Boss concept get picked up by a larger chain and taken national because it is an ingenious way to bring sushi to the masses. Three stars for the sushi, and 1 extra star for the concept.

I went here earlier in the week on Tuesday. If you haven't been here before it is basically a build your own sushi roll restaurant. I ordered a California roll and a shrimp tempura roll. Both were decent but the shrimp tempura was not as crunchy as I'm used to, and tasted not so fresh. On the plus side the rolls are 8 pieces and very large. I gave a 5 on service and value but 3 on quality.
(4)Becca W.
Outstanding sushi - and excellent concept! Everyone needs to try this place! Had the spicy tuna roll and dragon roll... Half and half for 11.00 - score on the price as well!!
(5)Jon C.
Sushi Boss is a great place for people to try if the like sushi but aren't a fan of raw fish. Confusing? It was to me as well until I really started to look at the menu and realized that most of the options were made with imitation crab meat, salmon or tuna. The menu consists almost entirely of rolls. There are create your own options as well as 10 or so suggested options. Step up to the counter, place your order, watch them make your roll, and grab a table. It kind of reminded me of a Subway Sandwich Shop with sushi instead of subs. I went with the Spicy Salmon and the Spicy Tuna Roll. Both were quite large and I probably could have eaten just one and still felt like I had enough to eat. I think each roll was 9 or 10 pieces, which is a tad larger than the more traditional sushi places I've been. I used my Yelp check in for a miso soup and also grabbed a beer and paid about $23 for my meal, which I think was a tad pricy for what I ended up with. Being close to IUPUI and all of the hospitals, I'm sure they have a pretty good lunch business. There really aren't a ton of sushi places downtown, especially which serves sushi in a "fast food" type atmosphere like they do here. I'd glad to have given this place a try since it's been on my list for some time now, but I think I'm good crossing it off and checking out another place next time.
(2)Emily H.
It's like Subway...but for sushi. It's quick, easy and delicious! You can create your own roll or choose from on of their signature rolls. The rolls are sliced into about 10 pieces and each roll is reasonably priced. For my first visit, I played it safe and opted for a signature roll, specifically the crunchy roll, because who doesn't love spicy crab, cucumber, avocado, topped with BOSS sauce, eel sauce and crunchy onions? Oh yeah...they have their own sauce and it's BOSS. Definitely give this spot a try! Great work day lunch stop!
(4)Sara P.
I typically order the Wicked Spicy Tuna signature roll, minus the spicy mayo BOSS sauce. It has all the ingredients that I would order with the create-your-own option anyways (avocado, cucumber & green onion). And of Sushi Boss's signature rolls, it's the least Americanized of the rolls, i.e. no crunchies, imitation crab, cooked ingredients, etc. What I like about Sushi Boss is that I get about twice the amount of raw tuna that you'd receive in grocery-store offerings, at the same price...and it is twice as fresh. I also sometimes order the seaweed side salad, which appears to be a deceptively large portion for the price; however, underneath the seaweed is a hidden bed of crispy shredded lettuce & carrot slaw. I would not say Sushi Boss is a date-night location or the best local sushi (*cough* Sakura..Sushi Bar*), but it is a clean, fast-casual place with friendly staff. It's difficult to avoid the temptation of the 10th St & Indiana Ave eateries during the work commute home. But if you are attempting to eat healthier, Sushi Boss offers an excellent alternative and will assist in conquering your quesarito habit.

My husband and I stopped by here after reading a couple yelp reviews- at first I thought "ok... how good can fast sushi be?" Turns out it's really good!! I did a tuna, carrot, cucumber, green onion seaweed roll- and had them put wasabi mayo and crunchy tempura on at the end. My husband went for the spicy tuna boss roll. I got some edamame on the side, too. Delicious! And the size of the roll was generous- definitely won't find any wimpy rolls here! There seemed to be a sushi party going on inside when we got there - there was a group of people gathered around a table learning to make rolls. Looked like fun! Everything was tasty and fresh and reasonably priced. 10/10 Now go and be a sushi boss!!!!!
(5)Heather K.
I'm not an adventurous sushi eater--just California Rolls for me. But this place was good (to my undiscerning palate).
(3)Mirabelle L.
It's fast food style but for sushi rolls. I honestly think that they did a great job in operating its business. They are efficient in making sushi so the wait time is minimized. Food is fresh, delicious, and satisfying. We had that one roll (with asparagus and beef), spicy salmon roll, and crunchy roll. I liked them all! My favorite is the spicy salmon roll. That one roll is very yummy, but way too spicy for me. Service is okay but could be improved. Overall, for its price and offering, I would recommend this place to anyone in the area. It's worth a try!
(5)Sam K.
I love this place! It really is one-of-a-kind for what it brings to the table. It's quick, delicious, sushi that is made directly in front of you. It's reasonably priced, especially since there is no need to tip. I love every roll that I've tried, and I've tried more than I'm willing to admit. The location is super close to me, just a couple blocks from the canal in downtown Indy. If you're looking for the very best sushi in downtown Indy, you'll have to fork out some more money. However, if you are a sushi enthusiast that wants to get your fix without breaking the bank, this will definitely get the job done.
(5)Melissa K.
This is my favorite restaurant in the IUPUI area! I will start out by saying although I enjoy the taste of sushi, I do not really approve of raw sushi because in my line of work, I know about all of the nasty critters you can get from raw food. Ick. But Sushi Boss is faaaaaaaar from ick. I love this place because they have COOKED sushi (and raw too)! The have a lot of options (crab sticks, spicy crab mix, shrimp, chicken, beef....). You can order one of the rolls on their menu (the California roll, Surf and Turf, and That One Roll are all delicious) or make your own. They have a lot of ingredients to choose from. Do not get confused by ordering one roll at a time. At a lot of sushi places one roll=one piece of sushi. Here one roll=the entire rolled up sushi roll. They are then cut into smaller pieces/rolls for you to eat. Here is where my one criticism is...sometimes the cuts are very inconsistent, and you may end up with a teeny roll and then a ginormous roll you nearly choke on because it's too big. Depending on what the roll is loaded with, it is usually enough for lunch. Sometimes I order a side item. The edamame is good, and they also have soups, salads, and mochi. The staff is also really wonderful, and the restaurant is very clean. I really hope they open up more locations (Northside hint hint)!
(5)Gary N.
Pretty standard sushi fair, it is fun to build your own roll. Kind of like a Chipotle for sushi. I'd go again if I was in the area.
(4)Amy R.
Who would have thought that "fast food" sushi would work? There has been a need for this niche for those of us that want sushi, but maybe don't have time to sit down at a restaurant and don't want to sacrifice the quality by getting grocery store sushi. Very reasonably priced, you can get a full priced speciality roll for around $7. They also have other sushi pairing favorites like miso soup and edamame. The setup is very much like a Subway where you can see your roll being assembled. You can even create your own roll and pick out the sauces. If you are wanting the full sushi dining experience, then Sushi Boss is probably not for you, but if you wasn't pretty good sushi quick and at a reasonable price, then check out Sushi Boss.
(5)Kris W.
This sushi was very good and very affordable. If you're in downtown Indy and in the mood for sushi, without breaking your bank.....this be the spot! Above average portion sizes as well.
(5)Dara H.
Amazing Sushi!! This was our first trip here. We ordered 2 rolls each and that was way too much food. The rolls are 12 pcs. I am use to the 8 pcs rolls. You can choose to create your own or they have Signature rolls. It was pretty busy in the restaurant so we decided to just get signature rolls. Kyle picked the California $6.49. It had crab avocado cucumber and sesame seed. He added the Boss sauce aka spicy mayo. And he also got the Wicked spicy tuna $7.49. It has the spicy tuna cucumber green onion avocado boss sauce & sesame seeds. He enjoyed both rolls but said the tuna was pretty spicy. I picked the Crunchy Roll $8.49. It was a larger roll. It had shredded crab avocado cucumber fried onions and not sure what sauce. My other roll was the Surf & Turf $9.29. It was short rib crab cucumber asparagus wasabi mayo yakisoba sauce and sesame chili. Sooo good!! Next time we want to create our own. You get to pick your wrapper. Seaweed or soy. (The soy looks like green tissue paper) Add a protein or just go veggie. Then you pick the produce you want up to 3. Then top it off with sauces. They also have sides like salads and soup. And a beer and wine menu. Cant wait to go back and try something different.
(5)Stephanie S.
Trying out the That One Roll today. It's my sisters favorite. Really good with lots of crab meat on top and Boss sauce! ! Also got a bag of Shrimp Chips: different but a must try once kind of thing.
(5)Marvi B.
Ok, I don't think my previous review does justice! I have become a sushi boss regular and I feel I have a few confessions. Their quick, friendly and efficient service makes me often come here for lunch. I think this place is doing great, the idea is pretty simple and the food is fresh and awesome. I have tried all their signature rolls, I oscillate between spicy tuna vs spicy salmon. I think the shrimpin ain't easy is an absolute delight with aspergus in it. I have been experimenting as well and I love the rolls that I designed myself! The servings are big enough for a filling meal and the price is reasonable. I love how I can put all my favorite veggies and enjoy it. I would say this place is super unique and amazing! Everyone should check it out and especially all those who do not live downtown!
(5)Erika F.
Plus side: create your own roll. I mean, seriously? Who can argue with that? Fresh veggies to choose from, sauces a many, and they roll it for you right on the spot. The portions are HUGE and the prices are small. Only down side and its not even a huge deal. The fish isn't as fresh as I'd like it. I understand that Indiana is landlocked so fresh salmon isn't easy. So, absolutely an understandable shortfall. As far as sushi goes, though, awesome. If you're in Indiana and need some sushi for a good price... definitely go here. It's worth the price.
(3)Krysha M.
Sushi Boss is kind of like the Subway of Sushi... In a GOOD way. You can choose from one of their signature rolls or even create your own roll (Subway style!). The rolls are HUGE (10-12 good sized pieces) and perfect for one person or to get 2 and share with a friend. ** My very favorite part is that you can get a roll made "half and half" -- which is amazing when you are as indecisive as me. This means that should you not be able to choose, you can do 2 rolls and get a total of 4 different tastes! What?!?! Amazing stuff here, folks! ** I have tried a few different variations but have come back to a few favorites: the smoked salmon (build my own with avocado, asparagus, and cucumber, boss sauce, yakisoba, and tempura sprinkles), and the Shrimpin' Ain't Easy (specialty roll with shrimp tempura, avocado, asparagus, boss sauce, sesame seeds). Try the Surf and Turf specialty roll if you are feeling like something non-traditional (beef short rib meat, crab, cucumber, asparagus, wasabi mayo, yakisoba sauce and sesame chili) -- it is REALLY good. I can also say their soups are good -- even after a long drive home. Friday is half-price saki bomb day and I believe they do half price beers on the weekends. I always take my Sushi Boss to go, but will have to eat in and check these specials out some time. The staff here is always super nice and helpful. Today they even offered me a sample of the "crunch roll" while in line as it was the roll of the week. Just good peeps. I can't get enough of this place. Fast, good sized rolls at a very fair price (under $10 for a 10-12 piece specialty roll). I will be back fo sho.
(5)Luisanna R.
Ok so I give this place 4 stars because I am a fan however I do have some criticism to impart. Alright lets do this right. The concept is super nice. Who hasn't always wanted to choose exactly what goes into their sushi roll? As far as sushi snobs are concerned you are not going to get a super mind blowing, or life altering sushi experience here. The quality of their product is not terrible but it is not the best I have ever had. The price point is not too offensive though so I feel like in this case you get what you pay for. Service: There was this guy there who was super helpful and extremely efficient. Some of the other guys seemed a little new but this place did just open up recently so I'm sure that's what's up here. However the service was pleasant. I think the roll we tried was called "That Roll". Now don't quote me on this however I believe that is the one with the braised short rib. I have had sushi with cooked chicken in it plenty of times. This roll was fire and probably why I give this place 4 stars. This roll is so unique and delicious. Give it a try.
(4)Jake D.
WOOOOOOW. You'll probably hear people call this Subway for Sushi. That's basically it. The signature dishes are so good. I really like the Shrimpin' Ain't Easy. The workers are always very helpful, smiling and trying to strike up a conversation. This place has kinda become a weekly spot to hit of mine and I haven't been disappointed. You'll leave full of sushi and happiness without a dent in your wallet.
(5)Tommy C.
I'm not a sushi expert, but I do know good music when I hear it. They are currently playing a non-typical RHCP song, and before it was some dope oriental downtempo stuff. Not too loud, and just enough to jam.
(4)Liz S.
So GOOD sushi is hard to come by. Even harder to come by in downtown Indy for a lunch break! (I haven't been to Mikado in years and 45 Degrees is hard to get in and out of with Mass Ave parking. Yes, I'm lazy.) So when I kept reading, "Sushi Boss is like the Subway of sushi..in a good way"-- I just had to try it! My coworker and I needed a quick lunch break and stopped by around 11am--which is perfect because they were quiet enough for us to gather our thoughts around a "make your own combination sushi" restaurant vs. the ol' menu items. We went boring and got the "Shrimpin' ain't easy" and "That one roll". Both were insanely delicious and tasted pretty fresh! I forget what we're in both but the menu has it listed! We also got the spicy edamame--not the greatest but it was okay! (My fave is at Cheesecake Factory, weird but whatever.) The restaurant is simple, but I really like that! I really don't want to be cluttered with bonzai trees, cherry blossom screen doors and random kitschy Japanese stuff. Things got hopping around 11:45 so we made a clean getaway and made it back to work before our lunch hour was over! All in all, I say successful trip and I would definitely go back!
(4)Cammie W.
This is like the sushi version of Chipotle, which is a pretty cool concept. They have a machine that presses the rice onto your seaweed (or soy wrap). There are also 'Signature Rolls', but they're pretty much the same price as choosing the ingredients separately. This is a great place to go for lunch if you're craving sushi and don't have much time. Their seating area is pretty big and when I went on a Friday afternoon, there were only 2 other customers. The employees were super nice; I'm giving this place an extra star just because of that. I made a custom roll for $7.59, which was cut into 10 pieces. They were cut a bit too thick, which made it impossible for me to put a whole piece into my mouth. My roll left me satisfied but not full. I would definitely need to have something else if I came in really hungry. My dine-in order came in a plastic tray and a liner like the type you get at sandwich places. I wish they would use plates instead because that tiny touch would (to me) make it seem less like a fast food place. I really enjoyed the Boss Sauce which is apparently just spicy mayo. I could taste the fattiness and unhealthiness of it though; definitely not something to get every day. The spicy tuna also tasted pretty fresh despite the lack of other customers. The rice is a bit rough here and it seems like they use a different variety of rice.
(4)Beth C.
Prompt delivery. Wonderful food. Used grubhub app, easy peasy! Will definitely use them again!
(5)Stella Q.
It's super cool that you can have your own sushi roll! The ingredients are all fresh and yummy.
(5)James C.
Open late for sushi!? Sign me up, 3 days a week! Lol! Nice and knowledgable staff here. Took the time to explain the menu and how to order to us. Much appreciated!! Amazing rolls. "That one roll" is great and filling. The rainbow roll was also fresh and tasty. Alcohol available too. This place is too cool, love it!

When my wife was delivering our fourth child I ate some bad food in the hospital. It did not end up well. After the 'episode' they made me wear a stupid mask the rest of the delivery, even though I wasn't really sick. I guess it was a good precaution, but it pissed me off enough to swear off hospital food in general. A few weeks ago was no reason to break that rule. We were down at the IU Cancer center and were getting hungry. Looked on Yelp! and found this little sushi place within walking distance. Entering in and thought I had entered a Subway for Sushi! You pick your wrap, fish, extras, and sauces. It was quite a decision to pick exactly what you want on your roll. I resisted the urge to select one of their 'pre-defined' rolls, and came up with some unique combination of items. I think there was Yellowtail, cucumbers, and a few other things in it. Had a combination of the Boss Sauce and something else that was suggested by the guy finishing up the order. It was wonderful. Pieces were a little on the large size, but they still fit. :) So, is it real sushi? Yes, and no. Not made by a real sushi chef, but it's still raw fish. And, they have bottled sodas with real sugar!

I've been trying to get my boyfriend to go with me to Sushi Boss ever since I found out about it a couple of months ago. Dinner and catch-up with a friend that lives in the area provided the perfect excuse to finally go. I wasn't expecting anything mindblowing, but considering the idea behind the place, it kind of is. People always talk about how it's like Subway for sushi, and I agree with that. Sort of. Yes, you can build your own roll or pick from their predetermined ones. Yes, they make it in front of you. Yes, your sushi is in front of you, ready to be eaten in less than five minutes. However, when I think Subway, I think ingredients that were prepared yesterday. This was not that. I got the Spicy Salmon Crunch roll with a side of miso soup. It has their spicy salmon mix, cream cheese, carrots, and green onion on the inside. The outside has their "BOSS Sauce" (spicy mayo), tempura crunch, and sesame seeds. It was delicious, and it was huge. If you like salmon rolls and can handle the heat, I'd definitely recommend it, even if you're not a huge carrot fan (see: me). The miso soup was pretty good, though I don't think it was anything more fancy than a miso paste with dashi mixed in with water. Not bad, but while I normally finish my miso soup in about two seconds flat, I had to sort of make myself finish it. The tofu was a bit tougher than I'm used to having in miso soup, but that could have just been the firmness rather than anything else. I have no complaints about the seaweed in it though. All in all, quite good but not must have. My only complaint is the vehicle in which to dip your sushi into soy sauce. They use sauce cups (think marinara cups from the pizza shop), but the rolls are so fat that you have to sort of squish them to get any amount of soy sauce on your roll, and then if you're not careful it can almost be too much. All in all, the employee we talked to very nearly hit it on the head: "You've arrived at your new home." If I'm in the area and craving sushi, I definitely won't hesitate to stop into Sushi Boss.

A friend and I decided to stop in for a quick bite to eat before heading out to celebrate the New Year. What a cool place and concept which is to build your own sushi. The customer service was exceptional. I think I had a "deer in headlights" look trying to piece together the menu. Plus, I was starvin'! I don't make decisions very well on an empty stomach. The guy who waited on us was friendly, knowledgable, funny, and provided us with samples of their popular rolls and soups. Best service I've experienced in quite some time. In regards to the menu, you are able to select from the signature sushi menu or you can build your own. When you build your own roll you select the wrap, protein, veggies, and sauce. I wasn't feeling adventurous so I ordered the Crunchy Roll, which I initially sampled and thought was freaking fantastic, and the Shrimpin' Ain't Easy. They also offered soups. I sampled the onion and miso soup. Both were good. For a few bucks more I ordered a combo which included a drink and cup of soup. For two rolls, a drink, and a cup of soup I spent 21 dollars and some change. I really like the decor. It is simply and nicely decorated and almost makes you forget that you are in a fast food joint. All in all I had a great experience. The Crunchy Roll was by far my favorite. The shrimp roll was just ok. For some reason the seaweed was extremely chewy making it hard to fully enjoy. All in all I would definitely return so that I can explore the menu and build my own. This place is definitely a welcome addition to the city!
(4)Sareen L.
The sushi bar's answer to the lunchtime crowd's need for quick and fresh rolls. Like the Chipotle of sushi. Had a very good first experience. Quite a line and most tables were full but the service was quick and friendly. Got a tuna roll, which was great, but you can get as creative as you want with the filling and sauce. Good portion. Thumbs up!

Kind of a cheesy take on sushi. Cafeteria style and it's really just rolls. Order some from the menu or a la carte. It's a sub shop for sushi. Not really my thing. Food was decent enough, but seeing my roll/rice wrapper emerge from a machine to start the process just killed it for me.

It's a weird ideal - picking your own sushi fillings / toppings - but it works. I didn't pick out anything too crazy, which helped make it enjoyable.

Luckily, if you're that guy, they have house rolls that you can order to ensure a good sushi experience. All the ingredients we had on our rolls were fresh and tasted great. The miso soup and salad were also good, albeit nothing special. While the quality overall isn't gourmet, I believe the price reflects that (three rolls, two drinks, a soup and a salad for about $30? I'll take it!). The staff was also very helpful and guided us through the whole process since it was our first time. They really helped make our experience five star. So thanks for a great experience, Sushi Boss. I think Arnold said it best: "I'll be back."

Ermahgerd! - yes, I did just utilize a viral internet phrase that is clearly "so last year" to describe Sushi Boss. But I don't feel bad about it, at all! If you ask my fiance, I'm annoyingly obsessed with Sushi Boss...because it's basically the only place I want to go. As you've read from previous reviews it is a "make your own sushi roll" place and it does not disappoint. I've tried many, many different combinations and have personally found my favorite roll with spicy salmon, asparagus, carrots, tempura crunch, eel sauce, and LOTS of boss sauce! They even have brown rice and soy paper as healthier options :) Service is super fast and if you plan to eat in, you can also get beer and wine! 2 people can easily eat there for $20 or under if you aren't drinking. If you love sushi, there is absolutely NO reason you shouldn't be going to Sushi Boss!

My boyfriend has been talking about "Sushi Subway" for awhile and today I decided it was time to stop by. I am so glad I did! This place is amazing. I got the Spicy Crunch Roll and it was DE-LICIOUS! And it wasn't that expensive. It was big enough that I was able to share the roll with co-workers who are also sushi fans. This will definitely be a place that we all visit for work lunch!

This was my first visit to Sushi Boss and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. For starters, Darvé was beyond awesome and was very thorough in explaining their concept, options, combos, sides, etc.... He was super friendly and super helpful. Custom sushi is a different concept to some and it was nice to not feel lost. The portions and price point are also unbeatable. The sushi was amazing. I really enjoyed the fresh produce on display as well. You do have soup and salad options in case you wanted something besides sushi. Again, I was so pleased with my experience and especially Darvé. All of the employees seemed to be in great spirits also. I will certainly be returning soon and often.

Sushi Boss is the place I go for Sushi. Period. They make one heck of a roll. If you have not tried the OMG Roll you are missing out. It isn't on the menu, but it is fire. Hit these guys up if you want to eat real good Sushi.
(5)James L.
The consistent theme of many of the reviews for Sushi Boss come back to the "make it your way" concept popularized by restaurants such as Subway and Chiptole (and by extension Shop House). I actually had the chance to speak with the owner, Jason, during my visit and he provided the back story regarding how Sushi Boss came into existence. Up until last year, he had never even tried sushi. But his wife convinced him to try a few of the more "non-threatening" rolls (think California and spicy tuna rolls) and afterwards he was hooked. But the innovation here is Jason thought wouldn't it be a great idea if the customer was able to walk into a place and given the choice of fresh ingredients, build their own sushi rolls? As of this writing, Sushi Boss has been in operation for about 7 months but I think this place has staying power. Just understand the menu here is NOT geared towards the sushi aficionado, so you will not find any eel, sea urchin (uni), scallops, or even any tamago (sweet egg - which I think they should add since it's very popular). But there are raw offerings such as tuna and salmon. But there are also non-traditional items such as roasted chicken and short rib beef. I sampled the wicked spicy tuna and the "That One Roll". I watched from start to finish as I selected the type of wrapper (traditional seaweed), the type of rice (brown or white), and then was able to specify how much jalapeno, avocado, and other ingredients I wanted in my roll along with the proteins. And I especially like their "finishing station" where customers can opt to add sesame seeds, amount of wasabi, and even tobiko (extra charge) before serving. The rolls are HUGE so it's a good value for the money. However, I think they need to refine the recipe for the sushi rice because it is a bit too glutinous for my taste. Perhaps a bit more sushi vinegar and time to rest would make the rice less sticky. Otherwise, the rolls were tasty. My tuna roll was not "wickedly" spicy but an extra smidge of wasabi satisfied my desire for heat. The One roll was interesting since I have never had cooked meat in sushi, except for the suddenly trendy infusion of SPAM when I was visiting California. The short ribs were cooked down so the beef was tender, although I think it would've tasted better if I had just gotten the beef by itself instead of combining with the crab stick. Just a note, with the cooked sushi ingredients (especially the warm stuff) I'd recommend eating in one sitting because the left over roll was not so good the next day. Overall, a good experience. The place itself is clean, the condiment station well stocked, and thoughtful touch to provide take-out containers since portion sizes are generous. I would not be surprised to see the Sushi Boss concept get picked up by a larger chain and taken national because it is an ingenious way to bring sushi to the masses. Three stars for the sushi, and 1 extra star for the concept.

I went here earlier in the week on Tuesday. If you haven't been here before it is basically a build your own sushi roll restaurant. I ordered a California roll and a shrimp tempura roll. Both were decent but the shrimp tempura was not as crunchy as I'm used to, and tasted not so fresh. On the plus side the rolls are 8 pieces and very large. I gave a 5 on service and value but 3 on quality.
(4)Charla C.
Obviously by the number of times I've checked in in somehow becoming a regular. It's just so convenient and tasty. Much better than grocery store sushi and both cheaper and quicker than going to a sushi restaurant this place soothes my sushi loving cravings. Basically this is Subway for sushi. There are some sushi roll ideas already available but you also have the option to build your own or customize the rolls to your liking. I usually get edamame, miso soup, or seaweed salad to go along with my rolls.... All adding up to the perfect lunch. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is casual and inviting. Definitely worth checking out. * I added a star to my review because obviously I'm addicted to this place. Seriously. The staff is awesome
(5)Ro T.
I love sushi. LOVE it. So what was my first thought when I heard there was a place that offered up sushi in the style of subway? It was, "GO IMMEDIATELY!" Although we didn't make it "immediately", we still made it and it was still awesome. "That One Roll" is their own creation that had short rib as the protein. SHORT RIB. That really should end this review, but I'll continue. The staff was great. They communicated effectively and got orders out swiftly. I'm glad I went, even though I got suckered into a red velvet, white chocolate cookie ... (it was REALLY yummy)
(5)Jim B.
Great restaurant that recently opened near IUPUI with great staff and good food! The design when you first enter the restaurant is a bit confusing - customers are not quite sure which way to go but the staff is super (really top notch) friendly about explaining the process. Surprisingly for a small new restaurant they offer both beer and wine (good sized pour). Since everything is freshly made according to what your order it can take some time for the food to arrive but when it does its exactly what you ordered and tastes great. Rolls are very big - don't make the mistake made when ordered two rolls but turned out good when took the leftover home for a late night snack. The seaweed salad is terrific also. Sunlight: Watch out where you decide to sit since the owners haven't installed blinds yet and with sun setting earlier it can get really really blinding in the restaurant at that time of day. As mentioned above it is custom prepared orders so be patient with that arrival of your order.
(4)Kristen B.
As others have said, create your own sushi! On that note, you can also order half and half sushi rolls, even custom rolls, which is a god send to indecisive people like myself. They have about 10 signature rolls that you can pick and add/remove what you want or make your own sushi with as much meat or veggies as you want (you have to pay extra for more than 1 meat or more than I think 3 veggies). The rolls are usually cut into 10 pieces, and 1 roll was plenty enough for my big appetite. They're also open til 11! Say whaaa?! They have soup, alcohol, sides, non-alcoholic drinks, and the usual sushi accompaniments. LOVE this place!
(5)Julia G.
Pretty cool sushi place that is kind of akin to a subway or chipotle but for sushi rolls. Pick your wrap, your protein, and veggies/toppings. Pretty big roll 10-12 pieces, plenty for a meal. Has a fast foodish feel. I like the concept for a quick lunch or take out. Would definitely recommend it for that. Its quite good for what it is. Not the greatest sushi I've had, not somewhere to go on a date or to sit down for dinner.
(3)Garvy S.
So glad a sushi place opened right next to IUPUI and downtown indy!! Been wanting to try this place since there rolling soon banner sign was up. Went in here for the first time today for take out lunch and it was such a nice looking restaurant. I already knew what I wanted from studying there menu on Facebook. I got the signature rolls cause I really get Indecisive what toppings I want. I got the CA rolls and spicy tuna crunch for the boyfriend. And I made sure they put all that boss sauce which is spicy mayo I believe. It was the bomb!!! I just found my new go to sushi place. And not bad all for 15 bucks! We couldn't finish it all, it was a total of 10 rolls so next time I'll get just one for lunch break to split with the bf. overall love this place! I get sushi cravings all the time and it seems like I can't find one in reasonable distance now I have one I can literally walk too.
(5)Felicia D.
I suppose I should start with the good! The green tea Kit Kat bars found by the register are amaaaaazing... so amazing that I did a little dance. Everything else was, well... not so amazing. I'm sure it works well for those on campus at IUPUI for a quick sushi fix, but it just wasn't very delicious. It lacked flavor. The rice was a bit too sticky. I like the ability to build my own roll, but I tried one of the signature rolls. It had shrimp tempura. I don't remember what it was called - that's how underwhelming it was. This experience made me sad, but I thank them for introducing me to that green tea Kit Kat.
(2)Ron R.
This place has a neat concept for sure. Think Chipotle/Qdoba/Subway/Piada but with Sushi. You order the type of roll, and pick a protein. You then pick up to 3 veggies to fill inside. After that you pick toppings and bam...you have your custom order sushi roll right away. I highly recommend checking this place out because of the nifty idea. That being said...the sushi was mediocre. I would compare it to grocery store sushi which isn't awful...but by no means would I pay 8-10$ a roll for. You also lose some of the magic that goes hand in hand with going to a sushi place. It is fast casual which just doesn't seem to vibe well with the romantic stigma of a sushi restaurant. I'd be hard pressed to come back.
(3)Krzysztof K.
The Crunchy Roll and That One Roll were exquisite. They have rolls for sushi enthusiast or just a casual friend that might not enjoy raw fish. Think of it as a subway or chipotle for sushi. You walk up and order and follow the construction line. I recommend it to anyone seeking a unique experience.
(5)Kristina H.
This place is the best as far as u want it they make it I could only wish there was a chain of these since I'm visiting from out of state!!!! We went right before closing and the one guy was amazing sweet and very helpful but the other guy felt and acted pretty annoyed about us coming in close to close and and j get that but then people walked in after us too I just thought it looked bad seeing we were first timers(hints the 4stars) but as far as being an awesome ....u can't go wrong create it yourself it was fantastic
(4)Bawi M.
I love this place, it is very clean and their Sushi are so delicious. it's very nice that you can create your own roll or choose from one of their signature rolls. They also have soup and it is very good. 5 STARS !!
(5)Maya H.
This is basically a subway-style sushi restaurant. I really like their "roll of the month" I forget what it's called right now, but it was great. The service was okay. They do have some imported sodas and teas. I didn't like the miso soup though- it tasted bland and pre-made, like those boxed ones where you just add water. I would recommend skipping the "2.99 and add soup and a drink" because of this. I would recommend it if you're craving sushi and you want it fast. However if you are hoping for high quality at a low price you are not going to get it. This sushi is a step above supermarket quality at supermarket prices- if you expect anything better you will probably be disappointed. Please note that while they DO have eel sauce they do not have actual eel sushi! I was a little disappointed. But they said they were trying to work out a way to be able to offer it in the future, since that's a popular sushi order.
(3)Josh B.
Incredible sushi. You can design topper own rolls here, and it's very reasonably priced. Every time I drive through Indy, this is a must have stop.
(5)Laurel F.
Delicious!! Create your own or try one of their signature rolls. The Rainbow Roll and The Crunchy Roll are my favorites. Made fresh in front of you, convenient location and sake, beer and wine are all available! Don't be deceived by the Subway style ordering and casual atmosphere - it's some of the best sushi I've had and plan to frequent it for lunch on days I work!!
(5)Melissa E.
I was pleasantly surprised!! Walking in, I thought it was going to be mediocre "grocery store" quality sushi. I. Was. Wrong. Fresh and fun to make your own, although I recommend their signature "crunchy roll". Travis and team were helpful and nice. Great great taste with a comfortable price!
(5)Audrey C.
First off, the customer service is amazing. Every employee is polite and has a smile on their face. Secondly, the food is amazing. Everything is fresh and delicious. For it being 'express' sushi, they put all the effort into making the perfect roll to your liking. Love the delivery feature and love the affordability of some good sushi!
(5)Emily H.
Pretty good sushi for the price and they deliver! I'm definately a fan.
(5)Eric B.
It's Chipotle meets Japanese. Quality ingredients, build your own roll or tweak one of their signature rolls. It was recommended to me by a friend and it did not disappoint. Their extensive menu would be ideal for catering with options for all taste.
(5)Janie P.
I am not usually a big sushi fan, but I went with my daughter who lives it and I really loved the variety here. The Shrimpin Ain't Easy was delicious. Really love the Boss Sauce. The staff was super friendly. Will definitely be going back. I only wish I lived close enough for delivery!
(4)Sarah C.
I have been to Sushi Boss twice in the last week for lunch. I am addicted :) The staff is super friendly and inviting! Also, the service is fast and makes it perfect for a quick lunch. This place has high quality sushi for an affordable price. Highlights: *You can build your own sushi roll *Free parking *Lunch combo option (add a soup or salad to your roll)
(5)Ericka J.
This was my first time trying them out. Customer service was great, taste was wonderful, and I like that they have signature rolls as well as build-your-own. Will definitely be back...with friends!
(4)Bryson S.
Such good sushi!!!! You can customize your own, or do a signature that is AMAZING! Each roll has ten pieces so you can get half & half of a roll. The best part is it is extremely affordable without degrading the quality. My boyfriend and I each got a roll, he got edamame and I had a salad(amazing ginger dressing by the way) and we both had a drink... For $25!! Crazy. Locally owned in a heart of corporations and chains, extremely friendly staff, great hours. So so lovely! This place needs to stay open, so go!
(5)Miguel F.
Great idea for a sushi place. As many other reviews point out: its quick, easy, affordable, completely customizable. I ordered a yellowtail roll with cucumber, avocado, and green onion. Got to the table, excitedly bit into my first piece and..... Meh. My wife and I love sushi and have been to most sushi places in the city. For us, this place just wasn't anything special. Overall we would describe the taste of the rolls we ordered as bland. However, if you usually like rolls (over nigiri, sashimi, etc.) Americanized sushi, sushi with a lot of sauce, etc., then you will probably love this place. It just isn't our thing and the quality of the sushi is not what we are used to. I really wish that the quality was a bit better, however, so personally I will not be back. *Edit: I am taking back a star after seeing that the owner's wife, Amber S., left a review pretending to be a customer to inflate their restaurant's rating...ummmmm what? Whatever happened to fair and non biased? It is against Yelp's content guidelines to review your own restaurant! Also, when I first left my review, the owner messaged me trying to guilt-trip me into changing my review by saying he would refund my money AND pay for any food I would get on a return visit....I am now completely appalled by the tactics this restaurant's owner is using to buff up his rating on Yelp...ugh.
(1)Laura P.
I kept seeing posts on Facebook about this place getting ready to open. So I came in on day 2 I believe & ordered 2 rolls for myself and a coworker. I was extremely pleased with the quality, price & quantity. A few days later one of my friends wanted to check it out & a had the Surf and Turf roll. So far, it's my favorite. Both times I was offered a sample of their soups (which I I'll try in the cooler season.) Clean, friendly, custom, great price.
(5)Tamara Q.
As someone who has consumed her fair share of sushi, I feel that I can be quite picky about what is good and acceptable sushi. However, I will pay for different tiers of sushi ranging from grocery store to truly expensive chef prepared type. For a fast food sushi place, this joint is legit. I ordered two rolls with expectations that I might still be hungry afterwards, but I was truly surprised. The portions are generous and the fish in the sushi is actually pretty standard servings. They use a ice cream scooper type to make each roll so it's a good amount. These rolls are probably in between grocery store and restaurant made. I would definitely come here again for a quick lunch!
(5)Jennifer H.
This is basically a qdoba-type sushi restaurant - your rolls are freshly made in front of you and you can choose what ingredients you want to add. I've only had the veggie sushi and it was pretty good and you get a lot for your money. The veggie of the month in September was fried sweet potato - very good! It would be nice if they had a fried / tempura style veggie every month. The boss sauce is tasty, soup and salad also good - definitely worth a trip!
(4)Cole U.
My wife and I were pulling into Blaze Pizza and happened to see this place across the parking lot. I was craving sushi anyway, so we checked it out. We loved it! We had two signature rolls, one custom roll, and two bowls of soup, and I would equate the quality with a lot of "upscale" sushi places at which I've spent twice as much for smaller rolls than I did here. The rolls are totally customizable (picture blaze, qdoba, subway, etc), and the service is quick and very friendly. I thought it was a franchise at first, but we talked to (who we think was) the owner, and found out it's independently owned and operated. Great idea, great place - we'll be back.
(5)Allison D.
The sushi was great but the customer service was phenomenal. Bravo Sushi Boss for knowing that is half of the dining experience. We had never been there before and walked in rather clueless. The gentlemen working that day were helpful, courteous, and friendly. They helped us order exactly what we wanted and made it to order in front of us. The price wasn't bad either. We walked out full from edamame, two rolls, mochi, and two waters for less than $25. We will be back.
(4)Nicole K.
Great new sushi place in Indy! It's like Subway for sushi. Pick your wrap, ingredients and toppings and they make it right in front of you. They also have special house rolls as well. They were delicious; very unique. We had a roll with chicken, and one with short rib that were both great. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Also the rolls were huge, there were 3 of us and we ordered 5 rolls and barely got through half of them. Usually you get 6 pieces a roll but we got 10 with all of these rolls. You have to check it out! They'll also have their liquor license next week so there's another reason to stop by!
(5)Jessica P.
Oh my gosh you guys, you know how you normally order a few sushi rolls for dinner because that's how much you need to be full. DON'T DO THAT HERE. Seriously. These rolls are HUGE. We went for dinner the other day and thought, oh we'll get 2 rolls each and some edamame, that's a perfect dinner. Whoa. We took home more than half. They have perfect sized combos of a roll, miso soup or edamame, and a drink. Do that, it will be perfect (and super affordable!). We went with the signature rolls this time but in the future, I'm excited to build my own. This place was really great and I'll be coming back for sure!
(4)Ericka D.
The staff here is incredibly friendly and the ingredients are fresh. Also it's a great place for people who aren't sure about sushi.
(4)Jeffrey M.
I had the Spicy Salmon Crunch Tues night, it was great . I'll recommend your business to everyone I know
(5)Aimee V.
Great take on build your own sushi rolls. Not too many options so great for the indecisive. Good stop for a quick lunch
(3)Qin Z.
It's new restaurant and that's why you haven't seen a lot of reviews yet. BUT this place is awesome. 1. You will get a really warm welcome from staff and they will help you if you don't know how to order. 2. Their soy wrap has a special taste and makes sushi a little different. 3. I had the spicy salmon and it rocks. The sushi boss sauce is the one you should go for.
(5)Joe W.
Great sushi. Friendly service. Outstanding concept. My personal favorite is "That One Roll" If you like sushi you can't go wrong with Sushi Boss!
(5)David W.
This is our Goto place for sushi. The prices are the best in town, and you get more sushi than anywhere else in town. We always get the combo, sushi edamame and a drink for pennies on the dollar. So far we've had the California roll. Great. The Spicy Tuna. Wonderful. The Spicy Salmon. Devine. The Garden Roll. Perfect. And we also had desert recently. The Mochi was fantastic, and inexpensive. For Good reason, it's small. Order a couple to share and you won't be disappointed. Unless you eat them too fast.
(5)Aaron K.
Made to order sushi? Yes please! I have been to sushi boss three times now. The first time was a little rough being their first week open. They seem to have found their stride now. Pick from a list of standard rolls or build your own. The protein choices are good quality and in abundance beyond crab and smoked salmon. Vegetarians will enjoy their options as well. They turn out quick rolls thanks to an awesome sushi rice machine and an all hands on deck approach. For the same price as a questionable roll from Marsh, these guys will make you a fresh one.
(4)John L.
This place is pretty great. After a bit of a rocky start their first week, I have been consistently impressed by the quality of the food and the speed of the service. This place is now in my normal lunch rotation. I typically get the spicy tuna roll and it's definitely one the better ones I've had. Their California roll is pretty good (especially if you get it with spicy crab) and their Crunchy Roll (not on the menu, but just ask for it. They typically have a samples of it for you to try) is rapidly becoming my new favorite. They also have an assortment of other rolls called their "Signature Rolls" that I have yet to try, but most sound pretty good and unique (there's one with short ribs in it... what?!). They also let you make a custom roll if you would prefer that. Pros: -Good selection -Food tastes fresh -Large size rolls. You typically get about 10 pieces but those ten pieces are stuffed with food. -Friendly staff Cons: -I'm not a sushi connoisseur, but some of their signature rolls are pretty Americanized. For me, that's not a problem, but for some it could be. -One or two of the pieces will fall apart (usually the end pieces) when I try to eat them. Not a huge problem, but a con nonetheless. -A bit pricey Verdict: I love this place, its a great environment and in a great location (only a short walk from IUPUI, IU Medical School, and Riley). I definitely recommend this place if you are a sushi lover.
(4)Chanel D.
I was underwhelmed by the sushi here. I did however like the subway style setup. The best thing here was the green tea KitKat for sell at the register!
(2)Liz J.
On the plus side, the workers were extremely friendly and helpful. The concept of being able to build your own sushi is really cool. On the negative, the sushi is not amazing. I had issues with the seaweed being tough and the sushi getting really mushy. The level of quality is just not what you would get at some other highly-rated sushi places in the Indy area. For cheap sushi and the fun of building your own, I'd say definitely go here. If you're looking for quality and authenticity, I'd go elsewhere.
(3)Kelsey Q.
I was so surprised by how the delicious and affordable this restaurant is! It is also right by IUPUI so i have a feeling they will be seeing a lot of me in the coming months! So many fresh options, and the fish was great! It was rolled tightly and presented attractively.
(5)Jessica W.
Sooo nice I ate there twice...in one day...my first visit. Yeah. Lunch AND dinner. I love sushi and Sushi Boss did not disappoint for lunch or dinner. Great price, great food, amazing service. The gentleman who greeted us, Darve, was genuinely happy, appreciative and exceptionally helpful! Overall, awesome experience.
(5)Joshua R.
Service was great and the rolls were amazing too! I would highly recommend this place especially if you are looking for quick sushi.
(5)Greg Y.
Rolls are cheap and service is the best around. It's a convenient stop for some tasty sushi.
(5)Noriel D.
Very good can choose either the set menu or make your own sushi. Fast and easy. Nice to see how fresh the ingredients are in front of you. Probably one of the top sushi restaurants i've been to. Staff was nice and very helpful if anyone have questions. Sit down or to go it is a nice environment inside
(5)Michael Y.
Good food, good prices, good portions. What more can you ask for? Not to mention that custom sushi = endless possibilities.
(5)Holly J.
This place is awesome. I've been walking by waiting for it to open for awhile now, finally saw that it was open today. I got a roll that was one half tempura shrimp and one half spicy tuna... which i thought was awesome because I can't finish two rolls but like some variety. The staff was super helpful and eager to tell me about their offerings and offer samples. To top it off, the food was fantastic. The roll was humongous and the seafood + veggies were fresh and delicious. I will absolutely be back!
(5)Peter F.
Not much cheaper than a nice sushi place, and much worse sushi. It's about $10 per roll and definitely not worth it - I'm surprised I did not end up with food poisoning.
(1)Evan W.
The rolls we ordered were delicious and pretty big. You got 10 pieces out of each roll which more than filled me up. I have been to a number of sushi restaurants in Indy and for the price and options, this is definitely one of the best.
(5)Kevin H.
This place is awesome. Chipotle style (QUALITY) sushi has to be sent from the heavens. The price point makes this place that much better. Expect to pay around $8-12 for 10 pieces. I was in at 9pm on a week day and the owner personally came up to grab our empty plates. Locally owned? HELL YES. I will be back... probably tomorrow.
(5)Larry R.
Very cool way to serve sushi. Wasn't sure at first, but I love the custom sushi. The ingredients seem fresh. Definitely will revisit when in the area.
(5)Alex F.
Best sushi in the downtown area that is cheap. It's really cool you can customize your own roll and see it being made it front of you.
(5)Thomas S.
My wife and I have eaten here five times since the grand opening only weeks ago. That makes us number one fans, I'm sure. Delicious, creative, reasonably priced, and friendly service. Can't wait till our next visit.
(5)Almaree V.
Great service. The staff also took time and guided me through the process and answers all of our questions thoroughly. My boyfriend and I ordered two rolls that were half and half. We ended up being able to try four different rolls because of this option. (Spicy salmon, spicy tuna, surf and turf, tempura shrimp) The ingredients were fairly fresh and the raw fish looks very clean. Overall, the price is fair. We will definitely be coming back. By the way, the owner is from Guadalajara, Jalisco! Viva la Raza!!!
(5)Kurt W.
Looking for authentic Asian atmosphere? Not the place. Looking for great sushi? This is it! Un assuming place that does it right.
(5)Tori C.
This was my first experience at sushi boss and I got an amazing inexpensive meal, and above and beyond customer service from "D" and Adam! Definitely try it out, you won't be disappointed!
(5)Amy M.
I have never made a review before. But I felt this place deserved one. Loved this place. Will for sure be coming back!
(5)Chris B.
I've probably eaten here nine times since it opened. I've always wanted a fast meal option downtown that is healthier than fast food places and this is perfect. Been for lunch, dinner, and even grabbed a roll quickly here before going out on a Friday night. They're open later than almost everyone else on the block. Good service, quick food, great sushi. They even have beer and sake.
(5)Jason C.
I was first time to this store because the review in yelp is very high. When I came into the store, the first employee who met me was friendly, and he was patiently explained how to order sushi and make your own type of sushi. This is the first reason why I gave the highest rating. I think service is the most important thing. All employees were super nice Their sushi is great! I ordered tempura shrimps and rib beef. With good sides. sausage, topping, sushi was awesome!! I especially recommend " fried sweet potato" for sides and sushi boss sauce(spicy mayo) for sauce! Of course, making your own sushi is awesome!! You must try make your own sushi in Sushi Boss! Moreover, it is easy to park near Sushi Boss, and the price is fair for delicious sushi.
(5)Allison P.
At the soft opening today of Sushi Boss! Get sushi the way you want and quickly!! Great taste and friendly employees. I'll be back.
(5)Connor T.
Like a Panera for sushi! Very good. Ask for their new Crunch Roll, it's amazing and not on the menu yet. All the employees are super friendly.
(5)Nathan H.
Great prices on high quality sushi! They even have some beers and sake, which is a huge plus. They have Sapporo and Tiger beer, from what I saw. The only reason I am giving four stars instead of five is because my order was not made correctly.
(4)Eden S.
The quality of the ingredients here rival any sushi joint around for miles, every visit I've made has been tasty and satisfying. The miso soup is pretty prime as well as the sushi rolls. A little pricier than the sushi you can find in the cold case at the IUPUI Campus Center, but as I said the quality is exactly what you expect from a restaurant serving you raw fish. Another excellent point to make is the staff is very friendly and approachable, and they offer samples of some of the rolls. If your interested in trying sushi, this place is just for you. My only complaint is there's no eel roll option :( definitely worth a visit!
(5)Missy F.
The people working were not very helpful, my boyfriend is new to sushi and had some questions and they just stared at him, and kinda shrugged. The rolls fell apart when we picked them up, and didn't taste very good. Kinda like grocery store sushi. We left the restaurant after eating and went to the mall. Within an hour we were both sick as dogs and trying to fight mall crowds to get to a bathroom, and be too graphically sick to even write about. Trust me, you don't want to know. While we were there, I had checked in on Facebook and after being sick I commented on the post saying we would never be back. The owner then stalked me down on Facebook sending me private messages asking what was wrong and then proceeded to tell me there was nothing with cooler temps or the produce and nobody else had reported an illness. She offered me my money back, then offered coupons, but I really don't want to ever set foot in the place again. They earned the one star I give them because one of the young men working was very polite, and the faucet in the women's bathroom was really nice. Gag, 5 hours later and I'm still burping up their nasty tasting mess and can't stay out of the bathroom.

Great new locally owned sushi joint with an interesting, build you own sushi concept. The fish was fresh (which is my only requirement for a sushi restaurant) and the staff was insanely friendly, in a good way. I'm really picky when it comes to sushi but this placed passed with flying colors. I'd rather eat canned tuna for dinner than go out for sushi and have the fish taste fishy/old. So FRESH, AFFORDABLE, and great service.

Several reviews have called this place "sushi meets chipotle," which is a pretty good description. Freshly made sushi in a snap that tastes great. The trick is a little machine that lays a perfect layer of rice onto a sheet of seaweed in seconds. $8 for a typical roll seems pricey until you get it and realize how big they are. Good presentation of the rolls, too. Add in friendly staff and you've got a winner! Hope they franchise this concept and hit it big!

Finally got around to trying Sushi Boss after driving by it all the time. And let me tell you, it was a great experience. My only regret is not trying it sooner. First of all, the staff is amazing. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming, and being that I'm not really a sushi expert, they were super helpful on choosing ingredients for the build your own sushi. Which brings me to another point, finally a place where you can build your own sushi!! This place is basically the Chipotle of sushi, and it is a lot of fun. There are tons of ingredients to choose from and everything was really fresh and tasty. They have specialty rolls too if you aren't feeling creative, and although I didn't try one, they all looked really good. The prices are great too, I got a huge roll, a cup of soup, and a drink all for around 11 bucks, which is way cheaper than going to a regular sushi restaurant. Everything was really tasty, the staff was awesome, and it is a really casual, clean atmosphere to eat in. I have a feeling I will be visiting this place once or twice a week, if not more often.
(5)Zach P.
Definitely my favorite place to get sushi downtown! Where else can you build you own rolls AND drink sake bombs?! The portions are very generous for the price and the staff is great. Also, being able to get meats other than fish (beef, chicken) seems like a great way to break into a market that may not like traditional style sushi. For sure going back to "roll it my way."
(5)Danielle D.
What a great idea! I've always said I wish I could just pick what's on my roll and now I can! It's great sushi and quick! I will definitely be coming back here soon!
(5)Charla C.
Obviously by the number of times I've checked in in somehow becoming a regular. It's just so convenient and tasty. Much better than grocery store sushi and both cheaper and quicker than going to a sushi restaurant this place soothes my sushi loving cravings. Basically this is Subway for sushi. There are some sushi roll ideas already available but you also have the option to build your own or customize the rolls to your liking. I usually get edamame, miso soup, or seaweed salad to go along with my rolls.... All adding up to the perfect lunch. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is casual and inviting. Definitely worth checking out. * I added a star to my review because obviously I'm addicted to this place. Seriously. The staff is awesome
(5)Ro T.
I love sushi. LOVE it. So what was my first thought when I heard there was a place that offered up sushi in the style of subway? It was, "GO IMMEDIATELY!" Although we didn't make it "immediately", we still made it and it was still awesome. "That One Roll" is their own creation that had short rib as the protein. SHORT RIB. That really should end this review, but I'll continue. The staff was great. They communicated effectively and got orders out swiftly. I'm glad I went, even though I got suckered into a red velvet, white chocolate cookie ... (it was REALLY yummy)
(5)Jim B.
Great restaurant that recently opened near IUPUI with great staff and good food! The design when you first enter the restaurant is a bit confusing - customers are not quite sure which way to go but the staff is super (really top notch) friendly about explaining the process. Surprisingly for a small new restaurant they offer both beer and wine (good sized pour). Since everything is freshly made according to what your order it can take some time for the food to arrive but when it does its exactly what you ordered and tastes great. Rolls are very big - don't make the mistake made when ordered two rolls but turned out good when took the leftover home for a late night snack. The seaweed salad is terrific also. Sunlight: Watch out where you decide to sit since the owners haven't installed blinds yet and with sun setting earlier it can get really really blinding in the restaurant at that time of day. As mentioned above it is custom prepared orders so be patient with that arrival of your order.
(4)Julia G.
Pretty cool sushi place that is kind of akin to a subway or chipotle but for sushi rolls. Pick your wrap, your protein, and veggies/toppings. Pretty big roll 10-12 pieces, plenty for a meal. Has a fast foodish feel. I like the concept for a quick lunch or take out. Would definitely recommend it for that. Its quite good for what it is. Not the greatest sushi I've had, not somewhere to go on a date or to sit down for dinner.
(3)Kristen B.
As others have said, create your own sushi! On that note, you can also order half and half sushi rolls, even custom rolls, which is a god send to indecisive people like myself. They have about 10 signature rolls that you can pick and add/remove what you want or make your own sushi with as much meat or veggies as you want (you have to pay extra for more than 1 meat or more than I think 3 veggies). The rolls are usually cut into 10 pieces, and 1 roll was plenty enough for my big appetite. They're also open til 11! Say whaaa?! They have soup, alcohol, sides, non-alcoholic drinks, and the usual sushi accompaniments. LOVE this place!
(5)Rebecca H.
My boyfriend has been talking about "Sushi Subway" for awhile and today I decided it was time to stop by. I am so glad I did! This place is amazing. I got the Spicy Crunch Roll and it was DE-LICIOUS! And it wasn't that expensive. It was big enough that I was able to share the roll with co-workers who are also sushi fans. This will definitely be a place that we all visit for work lunch!
(4)Shalyn B.
This was my first visit to Sushi Boss and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. For starters, Darvé was beyond awesome and was very thorough in explaining their concept, options, combos, sides, etc.... He was super friendly and super helpful. Custom sushi is a different concept to some and it was nice to not feel lost. The portions and price point are also unbeatable. The sushi was amazing. I really enjoyed the fresh produce on display as well. You do have soup and salad options in case you wanted something besides sushi. Again, I was so pleased with my experience and especially Darvé. All of the employees seemed to be in great spirits also. I will certainly be returning soon and often.
(5)Justin J.
Sushi Boss is the place I go for Sushi. Period. They make one heck of a roll. If you have not tried the OMG Roll you are missing out. It isn't on the menu, but it is fire. Hit these guys up if you want to eat real good Sushi.
(5)Garvy S.
So glad a sushi place opened right next to IUPUI and downtown indy!! Been wanting to try this place since there rolling soon banner sign was up. Went in here for the first time today for take out lunch and it was such a nice looking restaurant. I already knew what I wanted from studying there menu on Facebook. I got the signature rolls cause I really get Indecisive what toppings I want. I got the CA rolls and spicy tuna crunch for the boyfriend. And I made sure they put all that boss sauce which is spicy mayo I believe. It was the bomb!!! I just found my new go to sushi place. And not bad all for 15 bucks! We couldn't finish it all, it was a total of 10 rolls so next time I'll get just one for lunch break to split with the bf. overall love this place! I get sushi cravings all the time and it seems like I can't find one in reasonable distance now I have one I can literally walk too.
(5)Felicia D.
I suppose I should start with the good! The green tea Kit Kat bars found by the register are amaaaaazing... so amazing that I did a little dance. Everything else was, well... not so amazing. I'm sure it works well for those on campus at IUPUI for a quick sushi fix, but it just wasn't very delicious. It lacked flavor. The rice was a bit too sticky. I like the ability to build my own roll, but I tried one of the signature rolls. It had shrimp tempura. I don't remember what it was called - that's how underwhelming it was. This experience made me sad, but I thank them for introducing me to that green tea Kit Kat.
(2)Ron R.
This place has a neat concept for sure. Think Chipotle/Qdoba/Subway/Piada but with Sushi. You order the type of roll, and pick a protein. You then pick up to 3 veggies to fill inside. After that you pick toppings and bam...you have your custom order sushi roll right away. I highly recommend checking this place out because of the nifty idea. That being said...the sushi was mediocre. I would compare it to grocery store sushi which isn't awful...but by no means would I pay 8-10$ a roll for. You also lose some of the magic that goes hand in hand with going to a sushi place. It is fast casual which just doesn't seem to vibe well with the romantic stigma of a sushi restaurant. I'd be hard pressed to come back.
(3)Krzysztof K.
The Crunchy Roll and That One Roll were exquisite. They have rolls for sushi enthusiast or just a casual friend that might not enjoy raw fish. Think of it as a subway or chipotle for sushi. You walk up and order and follow the construction line. I recommend it to anyone seeking a unique experience.
(5)Maya H.
This is basically a subway-style sushi restaurant. I really like their "roll of the month" I forget what it's called right now, but it was great. The service was okay. They do have some imported sodas and teas. I didn't like the miso soup though- it tasted bland and pre-made, like those boxed ones where you just add water. I would recommend skipping the "2.99 and add soup and a drink" because of this. I would recommend it if you're craving sushi and you want it fast. However if you are hoping for high quality at a low price you are not going to get it. This sushi is a step above supermarket quality at supermarket prices- if you expect anything better you will probably be disappointed. Please note that while they DO have eel sauce they do not have actual eel sushi! I was a little disappointed. But they said they were trying to work out a way to be able to offer it in the future, since that's a popular sushi order.
(3)Josh B.
Incredible sushi. You can design topper own rolls here, and it's very reasonably priced. Every time I drive through Indy, this is a must have stop.
(5)Laurel F.
Delicious!! Create your own or try one of their signature rolls. The Rainbow Roll and The Crunchy Roll are my favorites. Made fresh in front of you, convenient location and sake, beer and wine are all available! Don't be deceived by the Subway style ordering and casual atmosphere - it's some of the best sushi I've had and plan to frequent it for lunch on days I work!!
(5)Melissa E.
I was pleasantly surprised!! Walking in, I thought it was going to be mediocre "grocery store" quality sushi. I. Was. Wrong. Fresh and fun to make your own, although I recommend their signature "crunchy roll". Travis and team were helpful and nice. Great great taste with a comfortable price!
(5)Emily H.
Pretty good sushi for the price and they deliver! I'm definately a fan.
(5)Audrey C.
First off, the customer service is amazing. Every employee is polite and has a smile on their face. Secondly, the food is amazing. Everything is fresh and delicious. For it being 'express' sushi, they put all the effort into making the perfect roll to your liking. Love the delivery feature and love the affordability of some good sushi!
(5)Eric B.
It's Chipotle meets Japanese. Quality ingredients, build your own roll or tweak one of their signature rolls. It was recommended to me by a friend and it did not disappoint. Their extensive menu would be ideal for catering with options for all taste.
(5)Janie P.
I am not usually a big sushi fan, but I went with my daughter who lives it and I really loved the variety here. The Shrimpin Ain't Easy was delicious. Really love the Boss Sauce. The staff was super friendly. Will definitely be going back. I only wish I lived close enough for delivery!
(4)Kristina H.
This place is the best as far as u want it they make it I could only wish there was a chain of these since I'm visiting from out of state!!!! We went right before closing and the one guy was amazing sweet and very helpful but the other guy felt and acted pretty annoyed about us coming in close to close and and j get that but then people walked in after us too I just thought it looked bad seeing we were first timers(hints the 4stars) but as far as being an awesome ....u can't go wrong create it yourself it was fantastic
(4)Bawi M.
I love this place, it is very clean and their Sushi are so delicious. it's very nice that you can create your own roll or choose from one of their signature rolls. They also have soup and it is very good. 5 STARS !!
(5)Sarah C.
I have been to Sushi Boss twice in the last week for lunch. I am addicted :) The staff is super friendly and inviting! Also, the service is fast and makes it perfect for a quick lunch. This place has high quality sushi for an affordable price. Highlights: *You can build your own sushi roll *Free parking *Lunch combo option (add a soup or salad to your roll)
(5)Bryson S.
Such good sushi!!!! You can customize your own, or do a signature that is AMAZING! Each roll has ten pieces so you can get half & half of a roll. The best part is it is extremely affordable without degrading the quality. My boyfriend and I each got a roll, he got edamame and I had a salad(amazing ginger dressing by the way) and we both had a drink... For $25!! Crazy. Locally owned in a heart of corporations and chains, extremely friendly staff, great hours. So so lovely! This place needs to stay open, so go!
(5)Ericka J.
This was my first time trying them out. Customer service was great, taste was wonderful, and I like that they have signature rolls as well as build-your-own. Will definitely be back...with friends!
(4)Miguel F.
Great idea for a sushi place. As many other reviews point out: its quick, easy, affordable, completely customizable. I ordered a yellowtail roll with cucumber, avocado, and green onion. Got to the table, excitedly bit into my first piece and..... Meh. My wife and I love sushi and have been to most sushi places in the city. For us, this place just wasn't anything special. Overall we would describe the taste of the rolls we ordered as bland. However, if you usually like rolls (over nigiri, sashimi, etc.) Americanized sushi, sushi with a lot of sauce, etc., then you will probably love this place. It just isn't our thing and the quality of the sushi is not what we are used to. I really wish that the quality was a bit better, however, so personally I will not be back. *Edit: I am taking back a star after seeing that the owner's wife, Amber S., left a review pretending to be a customer to inflate their restaurant's rating...ummmmm what? Whatever happened to fair and non biased? It is against Yelp's content guidelines to review your own restaurant! Also, when I first left my review, the owner messaged me trying to guilt-trip me into changing my review by saying he would refund my money AND pay for any food I would get on a return visit....I am now completely appalled by the tactics this restaurant's owner is using to buff up his rating on Yelp...ugh.
(1)Laura P.
I kept seeing posts on Facebook about this place getting ready to open. So I came in on day 2 I believe & ordered 2 rolls for myself and a coworker. I was extremely pleased with the quality, price & quantity. A few days later one of my friends wanted to check it out & a had the Surf and Turf roll. So far, it's my favorite. Both times I was offered a sample of their soups (which I I'll try in the cooler season.) Clean, friendly, custom, great price.
(5)Tamara Q.
As someone who has consumed her fair share of sushi, I feel that I can be quite picky about what is good and acceptable sushi. However, I will pay for different tiers of sushi ranging from grocery store to truly expensive chef prepared type. For a fast food sushi place, this joint is legit. I ordered two rolls with expectations that I might still be hungry afterwards, but I was truly surprised. The portions are generous and the fish in the sushi is actually pretty standard servings. They use a ice cream scooper type to make each roll so it's a good amount. These rolls are probably in between grocery store and restaurant made. I would definitely come here again for a quick lunch!
(5)Jennifer H.
This is basically a qdoba-type sushi restaurant - your rolls are freshly made in front of you and you can choose what ingredients you want to add. I've only had the veggie sushi and it was pretty good and you get a lot for your money. The veggie of the month in September was fried sweet potato - very good! It would be nice if they had a fried / tempura style veggie every month. The boss sauce is tasty, soup and salad also good - definitely worth a trip!
(4)Cole U.
My wife and I were pulling into Blaze Pizza and happened to see this place across the parking lot. I was craving sushi anyway, so we checked it out. We loved it! We had two signature rolls, one custom roll, and two bowls of soup, and I would equate the quality with a lot of "upscale" sushi places at which I've spent twice as much for smaller rolls than I did here. The rolls are totally customizable (picture blaze, qdoba, subway, etc), and the service is quick and very friendly. I thought it was a franchise at first, but we talked to (who we think was) the owner, and found out it's independently owned and operated. Great idea, great place - we'll be back.
(5)Allison D.
The sushi was great but the customer service was phenomenal. Bravo Sushi Boss for knowing that is half of the dining experience. We had never been there before and walked in rather clueless. The gentlemen working that day were helpful, courteous, and friendly. They helped us order exactly what we wanted and made it to order in front of us. The price wasn't bad either. We walked out full from edamame, two rolls, mochi, and two waters for less than $25. We will be back.
(4)Nicole K.
Great new sushi place in Indy! It's like Subway for sushi. Pick your wrap, ingredients and toppings and they make it right in front of you. They also have special house rolls as well. They were delicious; very unique. We had a roll with chicken, and one with short rib that were both great. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Also the rolls were huge, there were 3 of us and we ordered 5 rolls and barely got through half of them. Usually you get 6 pieces a roll but we got 10 with all of these rolls. You have to check it out! They'll also have their liquor license next week so there's another reason to stop by!
(5)Jessica P.
Oh my gosh you guys, you know how you normally order a few sushi rolls for dinner because that's how much you need to be full. DON'T DO THAT HERE. Seriously. These rolls are HUGE. We went for dinner the other day and thought, oh we'll get 2 rolls each and some edamame, that's a perfect dinner. Whoa. We took home more than half. They have perfect sized combos of a roll, miso soup or edamame, and a drink. Do that, it will be perfect (and super affordable!). We went with the signature rolls this time but in the future, I'm excited to build my own. This place was really great and I'll be coming back for sure!
(4)Ericka D.
The staff here is incredibly friendly and the ingredients are fresh. Also it's a great place for people who aren't sure about sushi.
(4)Jeffrey M.
I had the Spicy Salmon Crunch Tues night, it was great . I'll recommend your business to everyone I know
(5)Aimee V.
Great take on build your own sushi rolls. Not too many options so great for the indecisive. Good stop for a quick lunch
(3)Qin Z.
It's new restaurant and that's why you haven't seen a lot of reviews yet. BUT this place is awesome. 1. You will get a really warm welcome from staff and they will help you if you don't know how to order. 2. Their soy wrap has a special taste and makes sushi a little different. 3. I had the spicy salmon and it rocks. The sushi boss sauce is the one you should go for.
(5)Joe W.
Great sushi. Friendly service. Outstanding concept. My personal favorite is "That One Roll" If you like sushi you can't go wrong with Sushi Boss!
(5)David W.
This is our Goto place for sushi. The prices are the best in town, and you get more sushi than anywhere else in town. We always get the combo, sushi edamame and a drink for pennies on the dollar. So far we've had the California roll. Great. The Spicy Tuna. Wonderful. The Spicy Salmon. Devine. The Garden Roll. Perfect. And we also had desert recently. The Mochi was fantastic, and inexpensive. For Good reason, it's small. Order a couple to share and you won't be disappointed. Unless you eat them too fast.
(5)Aaron K.
Made to order sushi? Yes please! I have been to sushi boss three times now. The first time was a little rough being their first week open. They seem to have found their stride now. Pick from a list of standard rolls or build your own. The protein choices are good quality and in abundance beyond crab and smoked salmon. Vegetarians will enjoy their options as well. They turn out quick rolls thanks to an awesome sushi rice machine and an all hands on deck approach. For the same price as a questionable roll from Marsh, these guys will make you a fresh one.
(4)John L.
This place is pretty great. After a bit of a rocky start their first week, I have been consistently impressed by the quality of the food and the speed of the service. This place is now in my normal lunch rotation. I typically get the spicy tuna roll and it's definitely one the better ones I've had. Their California roll is pretty good (especially if you get it with spicy crab) and their Crunchy Roll (not on the menu, but just ask for it. They typically have a samples of it for you to try) is rapidly becoming my new favorite. They also have an assortment of other rolls called their "Signature Rolls" that I have yet to try, but most sound pretty good and unique (there's one with short ribs in it... what?!). They also let you make a custom roll if you would prefer that. Pros: -Good selection -Food tastes fresh -Large size rolls. You typically get about 10 pieces but those ten pieces are stuffed with food. -Friendly staff Cons: -I'm not a sushi connoisseur, but some of their signature rolls are pretty Americanized. For me, that's not a problem, but for some it could be. -One or two of the pieces will fall apart (usually the end pieces) when I try to eat them. Not a huge problem, but a con nonetheless. -A bit pricey Verdict: I love this place, its a great environment and in a great location (only a short walk from IUPUI, IU Medical School, and Riley). I definitely recommend this place if you are a sushi lover.
(4)Chanel D.
I was underwhelmed by the sushi here. I did however like the subway style setup. The best thing here was the green tea KitKat for sell at the register!
(2)Liz J.
On the plus side, the workers were extremely friendly and helpful. The concept of being able to build your own sushi is really cool. On the negative, the sushi is not amazing. I had issues with the seaweed being tough and the sushi getting really mushy. The level of quality is just not what you would get at some other highly-rated sushi places in the Indy area. For cheap sushi and the fun of building your own, I'd say definitely go here. If you're looking for quality and authenticity, I'd go elsewhere.
(3)Kelsey Q.
I was so surprised by how the delicious and affordable this restaurant is! It is also right by IUPUI so i have a feeling they will be seeing a lot of me in the coming months! So many fresh options, and the fish was great! It was rolled tightly and presented attractively.
(5)Jessica W.
Sooo nice I ate there twice...in one day...my first visit. Yeah. Lunch AND dinner. I love sushi and Sushi Boss did not disappoint for lunch or dinner. Great price, great food, amazing service. The gentleman who greeted us, Darve, was genuinely happy, appreciative and exceptionally helpful! Overall, awesome experience.
(5)Joshua R.
Service was great and the rolls were amazing too! I would highly recommend this place especially if you are looking for quick sushi.
(5)Greg Y.
Rolls are cheap and service is the best around. It's a convenient stop for some tasty sushi.
(5)Noriel D.
Very good can choose either the set menu or make your own sushi. Fast and easy. Nice to see how fresh the ingredients are in front of you. Probably one of the top sushi restaurants i've been to. Staff was nice and very helpful if anyone have questions. Sit down or to go it is a nice environment inside
(5)Michael Y.
Good food, good prices, good portions. What more can you ask for? Not to mention that custom sushi = endless possibilities.
(5)Holly J.
This place is awesome. I've been walking by waiting for it to open for awhile now, finally saw that it was open today. I got a roll that was one half tempura shrimp and one half spicy tuna... which i thought was awesome because I can't finish two rolls but like some variety. The staff was super helpful and eager to tell me about their offerings and offer samples. To top it off, the food was fantastic. The roll was humongous and the seafood + veggies were fresh and delicious. I will absolutely be back!
(5)Peter F.
Not much cheaper than a nice sushi place, and much worse sushi. It's about $10 per roll and definitely not worth it - I'm surprised I did not end up with food poisoning.
(1)Evan W.
The rolls we ordered were delicious and pretty big. You got 10 pieces out of each roll which more than filled me up. I have been to a number of sushi restaurants in Indy and for the price and options, this is definitely one of the best.
(5)Kevin H.
This place is awesome. Chipotle style (QUALITY) sushi has to be sent from the heavens. The price point makes this place that much better. Expect to pay around $8-12 for 10 pieces. I was in at 9pm on a week day and the owner personally came up to grab our empty plates. Locally owned? HELL YES. I will be back... probably tomorrow.
(5)Larry R.
Very cool way to serve sushi. Wasn't sure at first, but I love the custom sushi. The ingredients seem fresh. Definitely will revisit when in the area.
(5)Thomas S.
My wife and I have eaten here five times since the grand opening only weeks ago. That makes us number one fans, I'm sure. Delicious, creative, reasonably priced, and friendly service. Can't wait till our next visit.
(5)Alex F.
Best sushi in the downtown area that is cheap. It's really cool you can customize your own roll and see it being made it front of you.
(5)Almaree V.
Great service. The staff also took time and guided me through the process and answers all of our questions thoroughly. My boyfriend and I ordered two rolls that were half and half. We ended up being able to try four different rolls because of this option. (Spicy salmon, spicy tuna, surf and turf, tempura shrimp) The ingredients were fairly fresh and the raw fish looks very clean. Overall, the price is fair. We will definitely be coming back. By the way, the owner is from Guadalajara, Jalisco! Viva la Raza!!!
(5)Kurt W.
Looking for authentic Asian atmosphere? Not the place. Looking for great sushi? This is it! Un assuming place that does it right.
(5)Tori C.
This was my first experience at sushi boss and I got an amazing inexpensive meal, and above and beyond customer service from "D" and Adam! Definitely try it out, you won't be disappointed!
(5)Chris B.
I've probably eaten here nine times since it opened. I've always wanted a fast meal option downtown that is healthier than fast food places and this is perfect. Been for lunch, dinner, and even grabbed a roll quickly here before going out on a Friday night. They're open later than almost everyone else on the block. Good service, quick food, great sushi. They even have beer and sake.
(5)Amy M.
I have never made a review before. But I felt this place deserved one. Loved this place. Will for sure be coming back!
(5)Jason C.
I was first time to this store because the review in yelp is very high. When I came into the store, the first employee who met me was friendly, and he was patiently explained how to order sushi and make your own type of sushi. This is the first reason why I gave the highest rating. I think service is the most important thing. All employees were super nice Their sushi is great! I ordered tempura shrimps and rib beef. With good sides. sausage, topping, sushi was awesome!! I especially recommend " fried sweet potato" for sides and sushi boss sauce(spicy mayo) for sauce! Of course, making your own sushi is awesome!! You must try make your own sushi in Sushi Boss! Moreover, it is easy to park near Sushi Boss, and the price is fair for delicious sushi.
(5)Allison P.
At the soft opening today of Sushi Boss! Get sushi the way you want and quickly!! Great taste and friendly employees. I'll be back.
(5)Connor T.
Like a Panera for sushi! Very good. Ask for their new Crunch Roll, it's amazing and not on the menu yet. All the employees are super friendly.
(5)Nathan H.
Great prices on high quality sushi! They even have some beers and sake, which is a huge plus. They have Sapporo and Tiger beer, from what I saw. The only reason I am giving four stars instead of five is because my order was not made correctly.
(4)Eden S.
The quality of the ingredients here rival any sushi joint around for miles, every visit I've made has been tasty and satisfying. The miso soup is pretty prime as well as the sushi rolls. A little pricier than the sushi you can find in the cold case at the IUPUI Campus Center, but as I said the quality is exactly what you expect from a restaurant serving you raw fish. Another excellent point to make is the staff is very friendly and approachable, and they offer samples of some of the rolls. If your interested in trying sushi, this place is just for you. My only complaint is there's no eel roll option :( definitely worth a visit!
(5)Missy F.
The people working were not very helpful, my boyfriend is new to sushi and had some questions and they just stared at him, and kinda shrugged. The rolls fell apart when we picked them up, and didn't taste very good. Kinda like grocery store sushi. We left the restaurant after eating and went to the mall. Within an hour we were both sick as dogs and trying to fight mall crowds to get to a bathroom, and be too graphically sick to even write about. Trust me, you don't want to know. While we were there, I had checked in on Facebook and after being sick I commented on the post saying we would never be back. The owner then stalked me down on Facebook sending me private messages asking what was wrong and then proceeded to tell me there was nothing with cooler temps or the produce and nobody else had reported an illness. She offered me my money back, then offered coupons, but I really don't want to ever set foot in the place again. They earned the one star I give them because one of the young men working was very polite, and the faucet in the women's bathroom was really nice. Gag, 5 hours later and I'm still burping up their nasty tasting mess and can't stay out of the bathroom.
(1)Erin M.
Great new locally owned sushi joint with an interesting, build you own sushi concept. The fish was fresh (which is my only requirement for a sushi restaurant) and the staff was insanely friendly, in a good way. I'm really picky when it comes to sushi but this placed passed with flying colors. I'd rather eat canned tuna for dinner than go out for sushi and have the fish taste fishy/old. So FRESH, AFFORDABLE, and great service.

Several reviews have called this place "sushi meets chipotle," which is a pretty good description. Freshly made sushi in a snap that tastes great. The trick is a little machine that lays a perfect layer of rice onto a sheet of seaweed in seconds. $8 for a typical roll seems pricey until you get it and realize how big they are. Good presentation of the rolls, too. Add in friendly staff and you've got a winner! Hope they franchise this concept and hit it big!

Finally got around to trying Sushi Boss after driving by it all the time. And let me tell you, it was a great experience. My only regret is not trying it sooner. First of all, the staff is amazing. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming, and being that I'm not really a sushi expert, they were super helpful on choosing ingredients for the build your own sushi. Which brings me to another point, finally a place where you can build your own sushi!! This place is basically the Chipotle of sushi, and it is a lot of fun. There are tons of ingredients to choose from and everything was really fresh and tasty. They have specialty rolls too if you aren't feeling creative, and although I didn't try one, they all looked really good. The prices are great too, I got a huge roll, a cup of soup, and a drink all for around 11 bucks, which is way cheaper than going to a regular sushi restaurant. Everything was really tasty, the staff was awesome, and it is a really casual, clean atmosphere to eat in. I have a feeling I will be visiting this place once or twice a week, if not more often.

Definitely my favorite place to get sushi downtown! Where else can you build you own rolls AND drink sake bombs?! The portions are very generous for the price and the staff is great. Also, being able to get meats other than fish (beef, chicken) seems like a great way to break into a market that may not like traditional style sushi. For sure going back to "roll it my way."
(5)Danielle D.
What a great idea! I've always said I wish I could just pick what's on my roll and now I can! It's great sushi and quick! I will definitely be coming back here soon!
(5)Becca W.
Outstanding sushi - and excellent concept! Everyone needs to try this place! Had the spicy tuna roll and dragon roll... Half and half for 11.00 - score on the price as well!!

Sushi Boss is a great place for people to try if the like sushi but aren't a fan of raw fish. Confusing? It was to me as well until I really started to look at the menu and realized that most of the options were made with imitation crab meat, salmon or tuna. The menu consists almost entirely of rolls. There are create your own options as well as 10 or so suggested options. Step up to the counter, place your order, watch them make your roll, and grab a table. It kind of reminded me of a Subway Sandwich Shop with sushi instead of subs. I went with the Spicy Salmon and the Spicy Tuna Roll. Both were quite large and I probably could have eaten just one and still felt like I had enough to eat. I think each roll was 9 or 10 pieces, which is a tad larger than the more traditional sushi places I've been. I used my Yelp check in for a miso soup and also grabbed a beer and paid about $23 for my meal, which I think was a tad pricy for what I ended up with. Being close to IUPUI and all of the hospitals, I'm sure they have a pretty good lunch business. There really aren't a ton of sushi places downtown, especially which serves sushi in a "fast food" type atmosphere like they do here. I'd glad to have given this place a try since it's been on my list for some time now, but I think I'm good crossing it off and checking out another place next time.

It's like Subway...but for sushi. It's quick, easy and delicious! You can create your own roll or choose from on of their signature rolls. The rolls are sliced into about 10 pieces and each roll is reasonably priced. For my first visit, I played it safe and opted for a signature roll, specifically the crunchy roll, because who doesn't love spicy crab, cucumber, avocado, topped with BOSS sauce, eel sauce and crunchy onions? Oh yeah...they have their own sauce and it's BOSS. Definitely give this spot a try! Great work day lunch stop!

I typically order the Wicked Spicy Tuna signature roll, minus the spicy mayo BOSS sauce. It has all the ingredients that I would order with the create-your-own option anyways (avocado, cucumber & green onion). And of Sushi Boss's signature rolls, it's the least Americanized of the rolls, i.e. no crunchies, imitation crab, cooked ingredients, etc. What I like about Sushi Boss is that I get about twice the amount of raw tuna that you'd receive in grocery-store offerings, at the same price...and it is twice as fresh. I also sometimes order the seaweed side salad, which appears to be a deceptively large portion for the price; however, underneath the seaweed is a hidden bed of crispy shredded lettuce & carrot slaw. I would not say Sushi Boss is a date-night location or the best local sushi (*cough* Sakura..Sushi Bar*), but it is a clean, fast-casual place with friendly staff. It's difficult to avoid the temptation of the 10th St & Indiana Ave eateries during the work commute home. But if you are attempting to eat healthier, Sushi Boss offers an excellent alternative and will assist in conquering your quesarito habit.

My husband and I stopped by here after reading a couple yelp reviews- at first I thought "ok... how good can fast sushi be?" Turns out it's really good!! I did a tuna, carrot, cucumber, green onion seaweed roll- and had them put wasabi mayo and crunchy tempura on at the end. My husband went for the spicy tuna boss roll. I got some edamame on the side, too. Delicious! And the size of the roll was generous- definitely won't find any wimpy rolls here! There seemed to be a sushi party going on inside when we got there - there was a group of people gathered around a table learning to make rolls. Looked like fun! Everything was tasty and fresh and reasonably priced. 10/10 Now go and be a sushi boss!!!!!
(5)Mirabelle L.
It's fast food style but for sushi rolls. I honestly think that they did a great job in operating its business. They are efficient in making sushi so the wait time is minimized. Food is fresh, delicious, and satisfying. We had that one roll (with asparagus and beef), spicy salmon roll, and crunchy roll. I liked them all! My favorite is the spicy salmon roll. That one roll is very yummy, but way too spicy for me. Service is okay but could be improved. Overall, for its price and offering, I would recommend this place to anyone in the area. It's worth a try!

Pretty standard sushi fair, it is fun to build your own roll. Kind of like a Chipotle for sushi. I'd go again if I was in the area.
(4)Sam K.
I love this place! It really is one-of-a-kind for what it brings to the table. It's quick, delicious, sushi that is made directly in front of you. It's reasonably priced, especially since there is no need to tip. I love every roll that I've tried, and I've tried more than I'm willing to admit. The location is super close to me, just a couple blocks from the canal in downtown Indy. If you're looking for the very best sushi in downtown Indy, you'll have to fork out some more money. However, if you are a sushi enthusiast that wants to get your fix without breaking the bank, this will definitely get the job done.
(5)Melissa K.
This is my favorite restaurant in the IUPUI area! I will start out by saying although I enjoy the taste of sushi, I do not really approve of raw sushi because in my line of work, I know about all of the nasty critters you can get from raw food. Ick. But Sushi Boss is faaaaaaaar from ick. I love this place because they have COOKED sushi (and raw too)! The have a lot of options (crab sticks, spicy crab mix, shrimp, chicken, beef....). You can order one of the rolls on their menu (the California roll, Surf and Turf, and That One Roll are all delicious) or make your own. They have a lot of ingredients to choose from. Do not get confused by ordering one roll at a time. At a lot of sushi places one roll=one piece of sushi. Here one roll=the entire rolled up sushi roll. They are then cut into smaller pieces/rolls for you to eat. Here is where my one criticism is...sometimes the cuts are very inconsistent, and you may end up with a teeny roll and then a ginormous roll you nearly choke on because it's too big. Depending on what the roll is loaded with, it is usually enough for lunch. Sometimes I order a side item. The edamame is good, and they also have soups, salads, and mochi. The staff is also really wonderful, and the restaurant is very clean. I really hope they open up more locations (Northside hint hint)!
(5)Kris W.
This sushi was very good and very affordable. If you're in downtown Indy and in the mood for sushi, without breaking your bank.....this be the spot! Above average portion sizes as well.
(5)Amy R.
Who would have thought that "fast food" sushi would work? There has been a need for this niche for those of us that want sushi, but maybe don't have time to sit down at a restaurant and don't want to sacrifice the quality by getting grocery store sushi. Very reasonably priced, you can get a full priced speciality roll for around $7. They also have other sushi pairing favorites like miso soup and edamame. The setup is very much like a Subway where you can see your roll being assembled. You can even create your own roll and pick out the sauces. If you are wanting the full sushi dining experience, then Sushi Boss is probably not for you, but if you wasn't pretty good sushi quick and at a reasonable price, then check out Sushi Boss.
(5)Dara H.
Amazing Sushi!! This was our first trip here. We ordered 2 rolls each and that was way too much food. The rolls are 12 pcs. I am use to the 8 pcs rolls. You can choose to create your own or they have Signature rolls. It was pretty busy in the restaurant so we decided to just get signature rolls. Kyle picked the California $6.49. It had crab avocado cucumber and sesame seed. He added the Boss sauce aka spicy mayo. And he also got the Wicked spicy tuna $7.49. It has the spicy tuna cucumber green onion avocado boss sauce & sesame seeds. He enjoyed both rolls but said the tuna was pretty spicy. I picked the Crunchy Roll $8.49. It was a larger roll. It had shredded crab avocado cucumber fried onions and not sure what sauce. My other roll was the Surf & Turf $9.29. It was short rib crab cucumber asparagus wasabi mayo yakisoba sauce and sesame chili. Sooo good!! Next time we want to create our own. You get to pick your wrapper. Seaweed or soy. (The soy looks like green tissue paper) Add a protein or just go veggie. Then you pick the produce you want up to 3. Then top it off with sauces. They also have sides like salads and soup. And a beer and wine menu. Cant wait to go back and try something different.
(5)Stephanie S.
Trying out the That One Roll today. It's my sisters favorite. Really good with lots of crab meat on top and Boss sauce! ! Also got a bag of Shrimp Chips: different but a must try once kind of thing.
(5)Marvi B.
Ok, I don't think my previous review does justice! I have become a sushi boss regular and I feel I have a few confessions. Their quick, friendly and efficient service makes me often come here for lunch. I think this place is doing great, the idea is pretty simple and the food is fresh and awesome. I have tried all their signature rolls, I oscillate between spicy tuna vs spicy salmon. I think the shrimpin ain't easy is an absolute delight with aspergus in it. I have been experimenting as well and I love the rolls that I designed myself! The servings are big enough for a filling meal and the price is reasonable. I love how I can put all my favorite veggies and enjoy it. I would say this place is super unique and amazing! Everyone should check it out and especially all those who do not live downtown!
(5)Erika F.
Plus side: create your own roll. I mean, seriously? Who can argue with that? Fresh veggies to choose from, sauces a many, and they roll it for you right on the spot. The portions are HUGE and the prices are small. Only down side and its not even a huge deal. The fish isn't as fresh as I'd like it. I understand that Indiana is landlocked so fresh salmon isn't easy. So, absolutely an understandable shortfall. As far as sushi goes, though, awesome. If you're in Indiana and need some sushi for a good price... definitely go here. It's worth the price.
(3)Krysha M.
Sushi Boss is kind of like the Subway of Sushi... In a GOOD way. You can choose from one of their signature rolls or even create your own roll (Subway style!). The rolls are HUGE (10-12 good sized pieces) and perfect for one person or to get 2 and share with a friend. ** My very favorite part is that you can get a roll made "half and half" -- which is amazing when you are as indecisive as me. This means that should you not be able to choose, you can do 2 rolls and get a total of 4 different tastes! What?!?! Amazing stuff here, folks! ** I have tried a few different variations but have come back to a few favorites: the smoked salmon (build my own with avocado, asparagus, and cucumber, boss sauce, yakisoba, and tempura sprinkles), and the Shrimpin' Ain't Easy (specialty roll with shrimp tempura, avocado, asparagus, boss sauce, sesame seeds). Try the Surf and Turf specialty roll if you are feeling like something non-traditional (beef short rib meat, crab, cucumber, asparagus, wasabi mayo, yakisoba sauce and sesame chili) -- it is REALLY good. I can also say their soups are good -- even after a long drive home. Friday is half-price saki bomb day and I believe they do half price beers on the weekends. I always take my Sushi Boss to go, but will have to eat in and check these specials out some time. The staff here is always super nice and helpful. Today they even offered me a sample of the "crunch roll" while in line as it was the roll of the week. Just good peeps. I can't get enough of this place. Fast, good sized rolls at a very fair price (under $10 for a 10-12 piece specialty roll). I will be back fo sho.
(5)Luisanna R.
Ok so I give this place 4 stars because I am a fan however I do have some criticism to impart. Alright lets do this right. The concept is super nice. Who hasn't always wanted to choose exactly what goes into their sushi roll? As far as sushi snobs are concerned you are not going to get a super mind blowing, or life altering sushi experience here. The quality of their product is not terrible but it is not the best I have ever had. The price point is not too offensive though so I feel like in this case you get what you pay for. Service: There was this guy there who was super helpful and extremely efficient. Some of the other guys seemed a little new but this place did just open up recently so I'm sure that's what's up here. However the service was pleasant. I think the roll we tried was called "That Roll". Now don't quote me on this however I believe that is the one with the braised short rib. I have had sushi with cooked chicken in it plenty of times. This roll was fire and probably why I give this place 4 stars. This roll is so unique and delicious. Give it a try.

So GOOD sushi is hard to come by. Even harder to come by in downtown Indy for a lunch break! (I haven't been to Mikado in years and 45 Degrees is hard to get in and out of with Mass Ave parking. Yes, I'm lazy.) So when I kept reading, "Sushi Boss is like the Subway of sushi..in a good way"-- I just had to try it! My coworker and I needed a quick lunch break and stopped by around 11am--which is perfect because they were quiet enough for us to gather our thoughts around a "make your own combination sushi" restaurant vs. the ol' menu items. We went boring and got the "Shrimpin' ain't easy" and "That one roll". Both were insanely delicious and tasted pretty fresh! I forget what we're in both but the menu has it listed! We also got the spicy edamame--not the greatest but it was okay! (My fave is at Cheesecake Factory, weird but whatever.) The restaurant is simple, but I really like that! I really don't want to be cluttered with bonzai trees, cherry blossom screen doors and random kitschy Japanese stuff. Things got hopping around 11:45 so we made a clean getaway and made it back to work before our lunch hour was over! All in all, I say successful trip and I would definitely go back!

This is like the sushi version of Chipotle, which is a pretty cool concept. They have a machine that presses the rice onto your seaweed (or soy wrap). There are also 'Signature Rolls', but they're pretty much the same price as choosing the ingredients separately. This is a great place to go for lunch if you're craving sushi and don't have much time. Their seating area is pretty big and when I went on a Friday afternoon, there were only 2 other customers. The employees were super nice; I'm giving this place an extra star just because of that. I made a custom roll for $7.59, which was cut into 10 pieces. They were cut a bit too thick, which made it impossible for me to put a whole piece into my mouth. My roll left me satisfied but not full. I would definitely need to have something else if I came in really hungry. My dine-in order came in a plastic tray and a liner like the type you get at sandwich places. I wish they would use plates instead because that tiny touch would (to me) make it seem less like a fast food place. I really enjoyed the Boss Sauce which is apparently just spicy mayo. I could taste the fattiness and unhealthiness of it though; definitely not something to get every day. The spicy tuna also tasted pretty fresh despite the lack of other customers. The rice is a bit rough here and it seems like they use a different variety of rice.

Prompt delivery. Wonderful food. Used grubhub app, easy peasy! Will definitely use them again!
(5)Tommy C.
I'm not a sushi expert, but I do know good music when I hear it. They are currently playing a non-typical RHCP song, and before it was some dope oriental downtempo stuff. Not too loud, and just enough to jam.
(4)Stella Q.
It's super cool that you can have your own sushi roll! The ingredients are all fresh and yummy.
(5)James C.
Open late for sushi!? Sign me up, 3 days a week! Lol! Nice and knowledgable staff here. Took the time to explain the menu and how to order to us. Much appreciated!! Amazing rolls. "That one roll" is great and filling. The rainbow roll was also fresh and tasty. Alcohol available too. This place is too cool, love it!
(5)Jake D.
WOOOOOOW. You'll probably hear people call this Subway for Sushi. That's basically it. The signature dishes are so good. I really like the Shrimpin' Ain't Easy. The workers are always very helpful, smiling and trying to strike up a conversation. This place has kinda become a weekly spot to hit of mine and I haven't been disappointed. You'll leave full of sushi and happiness without a dent in your wallet.

When my wife was delivering our fourth child I ate some bad food in the hospital. It did not end up well. After the 'episode' they made me wear a stupid mask the rest of the delivery, even though I wasn't really sick. I guess it was a good precaution, but it pissed me off enough to swear off hospital food in general. A few weeks ago was no reason to break that rule. We were down at the IU Cancer center and were getting hungry. Looked on Yelp! and found this little sushi place within walking distance. Entering in and thought I had entered a Subway for Sushi! You pick your wrap, fish, extras, and sauces. It was quite a decision to pick exactly what you want on your roll. I resisted the urge to select one of their 'pre-defined' rolls, and came up with some unique combination of items. I think there was Yellowtail, cucumbers, and a few other things in it. Had a combination of the Boss Sauce and something else that was suggested by the guy finishing up the order. It was wonderful. Pieces were a little on the large size, but they still fit. :) So, is it real sushi? Yes, and no. Not made by a real sushi chef, but it's still raw fish. And, they have bottled sodas with real sugar!

I've been trying to get my boyfriend to go with me to Sushi Boss ever since I found out about it a couple of months ago. Dinner and catch-up with a friend that lives in the area provided the perfect excuse to finally go. I wasn't expecting anything mindblowing, but considering the idea behind the place, it kind of is. People always talk about how it's like Subway for sushi, and I agree with that. Sort of. Yes, you can build your own roll or pick from their predetermined ones. Yes, they make it in front of you. Yes, your sushi is in front of you, ready to be eaten in less than five minutes. However, when I think Subway, I think ingredients that were prepared yesterday. This was not that. I got the Spicy Salmon Crunch roll with a side of miso soup. It has their spicy salmon mix, cream cheese, carrots, and green onion on the inside. The outside has their "BOSS Sauce" (spicy mayo), tempura crunch, and sesame seeds. It was delicious, and it was huge. If you like salmon rolls and can handle the heat, I'd definitely recommend it, even if you're not a huge carrot fan (see: me). The miso soup was pretty good, though I don't think it was anything more fancy than a miso paste with dashi mixed in with water. Not bad, but while I normally finish my miso soup in about two seconds flat, I had to sort of make myself finish it. The tofu was a bit tougher than I'm used to having in miso soup, but that could have just been the firmness rather than anything else. I have no complaints about the seaweed in it though. All in all, quite good but not must have. My only complaint is the vehicle in which to dip your sushi into soy sauce. They use sauce cups (think marinara cups from the pizza shop), but the rolls are so fat that you have to sort of squish them to get any amount of soy sauce on your roll, and then if you're not careful it can almost be too much. All in all, the employee we talked to very nearly hit it on the head: "You've arrived at your new home." If I'm in the area and craving sushi, I definitely won't hesitate to stop into Sushi Boss.

A friend and I decided to stop in for a quick bite to eat before heading out to celebrate the New Year. What a cool place and concept which is to build your own sushi. The customer service was exceptional. I think I had a "deer in headlights" look trying to piece together the menu. Plus, I was starvin'! I don't make decisions very well on an empty stomach. The guy who waited on us was friendly, knowledgable, funny, and provided us with samples of their popular rolls and soups. Best service I've experienced in quite some time. In regards to the menu, you are able to select from the signature sushi menu or you can build your own. When you build your own roll you select the wrap, protein, veggies, and sauce. I wasn't feeling adventurous so I ordered the Crunchy Roll, which I initially sampled and thought was freaking fantastic, and the Shrimpin' Ain't Easy. They also offered soups. I sampled the onion and miso soup. Both were good. For a few bucks more I ordered a combo which included a drink and cup of soup. For two rolls, a drink, and a cup of soup I spent 21 dollars and some change. I really like the decor. It is simply and nicely decorated and almost makes you forget that you are in a fast food joint. All in all I had a great experience. The Crunchy Roll was by far my favorite. The shrimp roll was just ok. For some reason the seaweed was extremely chewy making it hard to fully enjoy. All in all I would definitely return so that I can explore the menu and build my own. This place is definitely a welcome addition to the city!
(4)Sareen L.
The sushi bar's answer to the lunchtime crowd's need for quick and fresh rolls. Like the Chipotle of sushi. Had a very good first experience. Quite a line and most tables were full but the service was quick and friendly. Got a tuna roll, which was great, but you can get as creative as you want with the filling and sauce. Good portion. Thumbs up!
