Tahoe City Sushi

Friendly staff. Place is small but very neat. Right by the lake but not much of a view. Sushi was good. I would go back.

Great Sushi by the lake-​chillax and enjoy the wonderful recipe’s and fresh fish. Enjoy!!!

It was very delicious even for Japanese. We ordered Rainbow roll, Hamachi roll and Tekka maki which have fresh fishes and my son and I enjoyed these. Chefs are also very kind even though my kid looked at Sushi to be made at the bar.

Ong I love this place, the best sushi! Down fall is cash only, but worth every penny spent. Staff are friendly and rolls are so good!!! A must have when visiting Tahoe City!

Amazing. The chirashi plate of sashimi fish to die for. Super fresh fish. Very wide and creative selection of rolls. Perfect Edamame and great miso soup. So good I had to get a chirashi to go and rolls for later. The staff of was also great. If you are in Tahoe city definatly worth a stop!

This is my favorite sushi spot in Tahoe, by far. Vanessa, Rich and staff are always sure to provide a great experience to compliment their menu

Wow this place is great. The staff is very friendly
And the food is amazing. Will be back AYCE!!!

Smaller, for a sushi restaurant, but that doesn’t really matter. Staff has always been friendly, and quality has always been good. They even do specials on occasion. wish I had some pictures to show right now, but I will have to leave that for a later time. Enjoy your meal!

I’ve eaten here a couple of times and I LOVE it! Even though I live primarily off candy bars, 5-​alarm Hot Tamales candy, extra sharp cheddar cheese, Cape Cod potato chips, and vodka with club soda and lime, I know GREAT sushi when I eat it!!! Just thinking about their sushi right now is making my mouth water. Bring cash, leave your attitude at the door, and enjoy the best sushi Tahoe has to offer.

Best I’ve had around Tahoe. The all you can eat includes everything but sashimi. Great deal and great service.

The only place worth eating all-​you-​can-​eat sushi in Tahoe! Delicious, unique rolls, everyone is really friendly, and it is really clean!
My son is a sushi snob, having been a server in 2 excellent sushi restaurants on the coast. He was really dubious about sushi in Tahoe. He was more than pleasantly surprised. He has already said he wants to eat there again when he visits again.

My family and I were in Tahoe City this weekend and tried out Tahoe City Sushi with great delight!
First, everyone was genuinely nice and made us feel like we were regular customers! They were very accommodating for us even with our 3 year old and 7 month old baby.
Second, the place was CLEAN, and I took my 3 year to the restroom to find it just as clean and presentable. (not typical of a touristy restaurant) which shows effort and pride on the owners part.
Third, the food was unreal! Generous portions of fish! Some of, if not the freshest fish I’ve ever had. The chef suggested a couple of rolls that were amazing and we reordered another round. One thing I really appreciated is that they didn’t cheap out on the fish and then hide the fact by drowning the roll with odd sauces like other places tend to do.
I see that others were not happy that they didn’t except cards, but its very clear and up front. If its such a big issue to you, don’t eat there and then complain about that! Its not like its hidden small print!
Over all, if you are looking for the best sushi in town without a chance with very reasonable prices, go to this place. We will certainly be back soon!

Just ordered take out from this place and it was AMAZING!
The workers inside were super nice, they have a ton of vegan/​vegetarian rolls, and of course the food was delicious.
By far the best vegetarian sushi I’ve had! The May Wedding roll was the best.
One of the rolls wasn’t cut very clean but otherwise everything was perfect.

I think best sushi in town. Fast. Yummy.
Burningman roll must try!!! And only $ 9.50 :) also Placer Gold roll and sashimi pretty awesome. The Stuff is very friendly — great atmosphere!!!

I came here for the first time while in tahoe with friends. I didnt like that it was cash only considering how much sushi a person like me would order. Also I had wished their menu had more shrimo rolls. I wasnt a fan of the philly roll but acouple like m-​80 was really good. I thought the lady at the sushi bar making sushi was kinda abscent minded. The waitress seemed she was having a hard time with her cus the chef didnt get some orders right. Also was very slow getting our food. I was also disappointed that they werent doung all you can eat anymore. I should have went to south lake for sushi. It was a small place but the art work on the walls were really nice tk look at while waiting.

Great food, great people. Reccommend.

I had a wonderful experience at Tahoe City Sushi.
The owners Vanessa & Rich treated us w/​a personal touch. The food was so good & well displayed. I went back again a week ½ later & to my surprise they remembered my name. I ordered the same Ball Park roll, it was as delicious as the first one.
I spoke about how it was my birthday week & Vanessa coincidentally was having a birthday week also.
Hope it was great for her & thanks for the sushi treat
Thank you, Tom & Maria from Eugene, Oregon

Just drive to Reno or Carson City. I payed over $ 6.00 for two nagiro style unagi. The rolls are decent other than the size and price. They are very small rolls. I went with a group of five and we spent $ 108.00 and we all left hungry. I would not recommend it. Even the family behind us got wise and left before ordering. Maybe it was because they saw our rolls or because the restaurant doesn’t accept cards.
As far as customer sercice, they tried really hard but to little effect. Perhaps as time goes along these problems will be resolved. Also get a soft-​drink machine and a deep frier. Tempura is a must.

We love your food and your attitude… =)
We order (pick up) every time we are in town from these guys.
It seems like they get better every season.
**Order the most popular rolls and you can’t go wrong.**
SAMOA ROLL was one of best rolls I have ever had…
(and we eat a lot of sushi)
Customer service was awesome as well. They make one mistake on our order, rolled the correct roll and then threw in the mistake as a gift along with a mound of ginger. The chef thanked us for supporting them… I was very impressed!
We love your food and your attitude.
*A note about 5 stars and expectations… this is for a $$ sushi restaurant.
If you come in here thinking you will get $$$ quality sushi in Tahoe for less than $ 25 a roll you are mistaken. For a $$ place, this is as good as you will get, unless you are in SF or LA.
*A note about waiting. Again, you are in Tahoe and this is little mom and pop place. If you come in on a busy weekend you will likely wait. Our solution is to always order pick up on busy weekends.
I have included picture of a spread they had ready for us in an hour and a half. Well done!
We are lucky to have Tahoe City Sushi.

2.5 stars.
My gf and I ordered only two rolls and they were meh. The rice didn’t seem fresh, however the seafood did which is always good when eating sushi. The service was alright. They don’t offer and fried rolls which was a bit of a disappointment.
Final Thoughts: This place isn’t for me, something felt off. Maybe it was the non-​Asian Caucasian guy who made the rolls or maybe its the fact that they only take cash.
