Always great service. Sushi is always spot on and the best fried rice in the city. It's a great place for hibachi also. It's a weekly thing. Lol

Good food but I had to give it 2 stars. Why? A big ass bug crawled on my guest. That bug was big. It would have ruined my appetite but I was done eating.

Tried the teriyaki burger tonight. O.M.G. Best burger in town! Beef was fat & tasty & juicy. Bun was a soft fresh roll. Teriyaki on the side wasn't needed because of the flavor cooked into the beef. Lettuce & tomato was very fresh as expected from the owner. He only serves fresh seafood & vegetables & meat. Something we take for granted & think we're getting elsewhere but we're not. Sekisui Bartlett is an underrated Japanese steakhouse!

Can't seem to get "to go" orders right. ..Spicy means to add the spicy sauce. The last time there was no katsu sauce for the chicken katsu.

I've been to other locations but will drive over to Bartlett for this one close to my husband's office. Always great service and good food. Love the wall fountain when you walk in and the basic sushi. I haven't been to the hibachi grill side....seems to be always empty when we go.
(4)Sandy J.
Not that impressed. I had the steak, lobster and shrimp dish. I asked for my steak to be medium rare and it wasn't. The lobster was over cooked and the food needed seasoning. My husband had The steak and chicken which was just OK. The server was great but that was it. 63$ of just OK. Won't go back here.
(2)Tracie R.
Love love love the service and the sushi!!! The lotus blossom drink is the best!! The bartender was so sweet to tell us the recipe.

My wife and I were regulars at the old Humphrey's location and were pretty bummed when it closed; though we welcomed the opening of this, more compact (space- and menu-wise) version a couple of years ago, we sorely missed the atmosphere and many menu items from the old location, and Sekisui quietly and sadly slipped from the forefront of our minds. On a whim, we returned last night and were pleasantly surprised at the changes implemented since our last visit--ambient (instead of harsh white) lighting, a more lived-in feel overall, and a somewhat expanded menu. Most of all, we were thrilled to once again have the Andy roll, which is a smoked seafood mouth party every time. The nigiri was fresh, service was pleasant, and the prices don't seem to have jumped up too much in the past year or two. We'll be back.

I eat here several times a month and my experience tonight beats any service I've ever received anywhere. Leslie was over the top amazing. She started us a reward card, which we had never been offered before. This will save us a ton of money at our favorite restaurant. Please make sure you ask for one if the server doesn't offer it to you. We had a total of 7 rolls, 1 being one we got to create ourselves - super fun & yummy! The owner/manager visited with is several times, as always. They are always very accommodating when we bring the children. Again, I highly recommend Leslie and can't wait for our next visit to dine with her!
(5)Barrett R.
I got ripped off. Didn't want the edamame until check was added. Charged for it anyway. To be polite, I asked that it be taken off or other courtesy. Clearly after another $6.50 beer or comp roll, my English was not received. I don't care for this entire family of restaurants for the simple fact that I have been burned with coupons EVERY time. For God's sake, rolled rice with some fish is not worth the price. I will NEVER patron this or any other of these sad excuses for fresh sushi. Every roll has either a fried component or mayo. Blah!
(1)Carol M.
Great food and awesome service! Chef was great and very personable. Fried rice is delicious and so much food you won't leave hungry, that's for sure.
(5)Jasmine L.
Love this place! The ambience is great. We waited approximately 5 minutes to order. We were served our soup and salad within 5 minutes and our hibachi chef began preparing our meal within 5 minutes of our appetizer arrival. The food was great! I definitely recommend this place!

Went here after scoring a great deal on restaurant.com certificates (Check it out! Save you some cash on the trip.) I wasn't expecting much after reading some of the reviews here but was pleasantly surprised! *Our family can not do the Hibachi thing, as my 3yr old will see the fire and start screaming -crying, probably ruining everyone's quiet lunch Because of this I can only rate the dining room experience : ) We ordered some rolls to start : Big Cheesy (salmon, cream cheese, tempura fried) and Jimmy Walker (Avocado,cucumber, assorted fish w/ wasabi roe) and enjoyed them. My 3 year old had Gyoza and loved it. For the main course I ordered the Seafood soba and shared with my son. Even with sharing we had enough to take home for another meal. My husband had the tuna tataki and his plate was clean soon after. I have a second gift certificate available on the site I used to get the deal. Guess what? These people are getting my money again.

One of my favorite sushi places in all of Memphis. This is one of the only locations (next to the new one at Poplar Plaza) that has hibachi. They have four hibachi tables. The good is spectacular and the atmosphere is great. Spicy tuna is not the cheapest at $5.50/roll but the quality is worth it. Definitely worth your time and money if you're looking for good sushi and hibachi.
(5)Sandy G.
The sushi is great and tasty. But what I like about this place is the drink specials. So come with your friends and relax.

I want to preface this review by saying that I believe this is a solid 2-star joint; but for us, the individual who was operating the hibachi on this night was absolutely fabulous. He was funny, interactive, enjoyable to dine with, and sincere. This is why it gets the automatic bump to a 3-star establishment. My wife and I came here for Valentine's Day with our daughter. As all you parents may have already found out...after you have kids, holidays (even the ones that are meant for couples) are all about kids. Food: The food ranged from 'not-very-good' to 'good'. The starting salad was not very good. It was basically just iceberg lettuce and a soy-based dressing. The starting soup was nice, hot, and flavorful though, so that was in the good category. In addition, I ordered the 'Jumbo Shrimp and Ribeye'. I am not particularly pleased with the size of the 'jumbo' shrimp though -- they were honestly the size of a normal shrimp you'd buy at Kroger. Whereas the 'regular' shrimp were tiny. In addition, the shrimp wasn't really seasoned to my liking. I just didn't like them. The fried rice was o.k. In my opinion it wasn't seasoned very well, and there were too many onions which sort of over-powered the rest of the dish. The high point was the ribeye. It was cooked and seasoned exceptionally well, it was tender, and flavorful. It was a nice way to end a relatively sub-par meal. In fact, the meal was so underwhelming, we decided to go elsewhere for dessert. Food: 2 / 5 Service: This is where the establishment made-up some of its points. Like I prefaced in the introduction, our hibachi attendant was super nice and very interactive. There isn't much to be said besides he was fantastic. On the other side, the regular server was o.k-at-best. She seemed inconvenienced when I asked her to empty the gratuitous amount of ice in my Coke, and also seemed as if she didn't want to be working on V-Day. I don't know, but I wasn't impressed with her level of service. Service: 4 / 5 (2 for regular server, and 5 for the hibachi operator) Atmosphere: It was a nice atmosphere. I liked the waterfall right when you walk in, the furnishings were classy, and the rest of decor was very tasteful. In addition, one thing I always look for is cleanliness, and this was a very cleanly dining room and restroom. The one thing about the atmosphere that annoyed me was the music. Sigh...call me weird, but I am not a fan of hearing Justin Bieber in the background while I am dining at a Japanese restaurant. I would much prefer Japanese/Asian inspired music, Classical, or really anything other then Brittany Spears and Will.i.am or Bieber in the background. Atmosphere: 4 / 5 Price: I thought it was a little over-priced for the overall quality of the meal; however, we had a coupon from dine.com that we used, so it was 50% off. I feel as if what we paid was a little more appropriate than the full price we would have paid. Price: 2 / 5 Final Impressions: We will not be back to Sekisui since there are so many other dining options in the area offering similar fare. We figure that we might as well try something else since this was such an underwhelming experience. I would recommend not coming here unless you have a coupon like we did.

Not very good. The price is too expensive. The taste is bad. Stay away. Stay far away!
(1)Jake R.
Decent sushi, but not the best in town. The ingredient are fresh enough and the rolls are mildly imaginative. However, you get smaller rolls here then you do at other sushi establishments in town. But in a pinch it's not bad and they do offer a hibachi grill which looks good, but I haven't tried it just yet.
(3)Liz J.
Their hibachi is pretty good, but we were disappointed in the sushi rolls we ate tonight. The flavors weren't quite right and the sushi itself wasn't as fresh as I think it needs to be. We are regulars at Red Fish (64 and Canada), and they, by far, have the best sushi in NE Shelby County and probably most of Memphis.
(2)Scott P.
Anyone who says this isn't one of the top three best sushi restaurants in this little landlocked town rarely ventures past California rolls or has no idea how to order sushi. If you want fresh ridiculously tasty nigiri, sashimi, rolls or omikase (I really recommend Henry's omikase or his take on a fresh salad) this is the best place to get it without the 45 minute drive! A great big hint on this little jewel is to call ahead and make sure Henry is working. He is heads and tails above the rest and I have tried them all extensively. Next on the list is blue fin downtown, both have consistently fresh fish and highly competent chefs that cut generous portions... Kampai!

I have a soft spot in my heart for the various restaurants in this chain. The Sekisui in Bartlett is one of the newer Sekisuis, and it's rapidly becoming one of my favorite places to go for a quick bite or weekend meal. Aside from a few service and happy hour glitches (more on that momentarily), the food is consistently good and there are a lot of outstanding deals to be had. The restaurant is at the end of a strip mall near Kirby-Whitten and Stage Road. There's a Kroger, a Stevi-B's, and at the end, Sekisui. The space inside is not enormous, but they've done an exceptional job - there are hibachi tables, but also a sushi bar, regular tables, and small bar area. Warning for parents: Upon walking in, there is a large wall-sized glass fountain with running water. It's pretty, but I've seen kids trying to use it as a swimming pool or drinking fountain. Neither is advised. You'll be asked if you want a hibachi table, sushi bar, or regular table. You can order hibachi even if you sit at a regular table. Before I get to the food, I need address a few things. The service is good, and they have excellent happy hour deals on both drinks and food - however, there are a few things you need to know about these deals and in general. 1. The happy hour runs until 7, and for the alcohol it includes specials on domestic beer, "select" wines, well cocktails, and 2 for 1 hot sake. All well and good, but the thing is that the "select" wine changes constantly. Sometimes the server will tell me that they don't have any wine specials at all - sometimes it's just one white, sometimes just one red, sometimes a selection of both. There was also one night where I ordered the white wine on special, and I could tell that my second glass was an entirely different white wine than the first. Perhaps having a pre-set and consistent wine special would make this easier on the staff and the customers - especially as wine special is ON the menu. 2. There are excellent happy hour specials on sushi - you can pick from a limited number of rolls, plus soup and salad, at a price much cheaper than ordering a la carte. 3. On the weekends, they have a hibachi special until 7pm - chicken and shrimp or steak and chicken for $13.95, or steak and shrimp for a dollar more. These meals come with vegetables, fried rice, soup and salad. It's a bargain considering the cost of non-happy hour hibachi. 4. If you order off the regular hibachi menu (not happy hour), the meal is described as also coming with a "shrimp appetizer" - what is not mentioned is that they will not bring you this shrimp appetizer unless you are actually sitting at a hibachi table. If you're sitting at a regular table they just skip over it, and yet you pay the same price as the patrons who get the shrimp. I debated a bit about this with a server, and pointed out that it made no sense to charge me for something that the menu says I should get but I do not receive. She brought me the shrimp that night, but I shouldn't have to ask for something already written into the menu. I've ordered off the regular hibachi menu one time since then and did not receive the shrimp that night, either, but was too hungry to argue about it. 5. If you order hibachi at a regular table, you will also have to ask for the dipping sauces to be brought to you, whereas they seem to be automatically produced at the hibachi tables. That all being said, the food here is, truthfully, quite good - and aside from the few glitches mentioned above, I'm happy with the service. The hibachi dinners are well seasoned and plentiful, the sushi is fresh and loaded with fish (more than I can say for a lot of places). If you decide to order off of the regular hibachi menu, I recommend the jumbo scallops - they're delicious and actually cooked correctly. So many places overcook scallops that these are a delight to eat. The soup and salad are fairly standard edition, but tasty and nicely sized. I have no complaints about the food here - it's not revolutionary by any means, but it is delicious. My biggest complaint is outlined above - the need for consistency. Either you offer wine specials or you don't - and if you do, have a pre-set white and red. Either you serve hibachi to regular tables or you don't - and if you do, the regular tables should get absolutely everything the hibachi tables receive, up to and including shrimp and sauce without having to ask. Give this Sekisui a try - as long as you keep a few things in mind, you'll enjoy your experience. I like this place quite a bit - if they'd just correct a few things, I'd probably love it.

We love Sekisui Bartlett. The ambiance is great. We've gone on Saturdays at lunch and they weren't very busy. The servers were very friendly. I recommend the Big Cheesy.
(5)Misty R.
I love sushi and all of the Sekisui locations in the area, there are several. They all have their own personalities. The one in Bartlett is the closest to my house, but for some reason I seem to forget it is there. It's tucked in a shopping center down from Schnuck's. They have a great sushi bar and a Japanese menu (tempura, chicken teriyaki, teriyaki shrimp etc.) Each Sekiusi offers different rolls, some are the same, some are unique to the location. My favorite here is Godzilla- shrimp tempura, crab, avocado, cucumber and eel sauce. Try the Tempura cheesecake, it's a nice splurge!
(4)Tracee C.
This was my first time eating at this location. Everyone was so nice & the food was delicious! I will be returning.
(4)Eric D.
Great sushi. We took a large order to go and everything was great. Fresh and good portion size. Not too pricey. The only reason for 4 stars is fake crab stick only. No real crab mix available. They have tasty crawfish rolls. First time I tried crawfish and it is yummy!
(4)N. P.
I like this location better than the rest. And since I already have favorites, I feel like many pale in comparison to them. Oh, picky picky. Anyway, a pretty good choice is the Philly cheese steak roll if/when they have it. It's a big on the ridiculous side, but I have been craving it lately. It's cream cheese, thinly sliced steak, and it's to die for dipped in some soy sauce. It's really hit-or-miss for me with this chain, but I will stop here in a pinch.
(3)Amy P.
I love this place. I try to frequent it at least once a week. The servers know my beverage of choice by heart (hot sake, yum!), but I always try to mix up what food I get each time. I love their basic rolls (Tuna, Salmon, Philly, Crunchy shrimp) and their specialty rolls (Hurricane is always good but the Arctic roll has become a new favorite of mine!). Their hibachi is always delicious too. The meat, veggies, and rice are always on point. And their clear soup and house salad always hits the spot as well. The number one reason I come here is their Happy Hour specials. From 5 pm to 7 pm every day (yes, even Friday and Saturday!) There are 2-1 hot sakes and specials on beer and wine as well. Then there are all the food specials...there are one, two, and three roll combos. You pick from a select menu and the sushi also comes with a salad and soup. They also have happy hour specials on hibachi meals and teriyaki meals! Their teriyaki burger is good as well. They have brunch specials on Sundays. I never have had a bad meal here! The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because service can be a tad slow sometimes, although I haven't had a problem with service lately.
