Reviews Summary
SuBI Japanese Restaurant is celebrated for its fresh, high-quality sushi and inventive rolls, creating a refined dining experience. Diners often praise the cozy ambiance and good selection of sake and wine.

"This restaurant is an absolute treasure for sushi lovers! The ambiance perfectly blends modern sophistication with traditional Japanese elegance. Soft, warm lighting sets a cozy and inviting mood, making it the ideal spot for a relaxing meal.
The sushi here is incredibly fresh—you can tell the chef takes great pride in the quality. I tried the Chirashi, which came with a stunning variety of 14 different sashimi pieces, beautifully arranged on top of perfectly seasoned sushi rice. The portions were generous, and every bite was a delight!
To top it off, they have a good selection of sake and wine, so you’re sure to find the perfect drink to complement your meal.
The service was just as impressive. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed for a great experience.
We had such a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back! If you’re looking for authentic sushi, a refined dining atmosphere, and a good drink selection, this is definitely the place to go."

"My boyfriend and I went here as a celebration for his job promotion and let me tell you, I will definitely return. The moment you walk in the atmosphere shifts, it's a wonderful ambiance, the service is very pleasant. We had a reservation and was taken back early. To start we had lemonade and iced green tea. The lemonade tasted hand squeezed and so fresh. The iced green tea was so refreshing and even though it's unsweetened, you could finish the whole glass without a care! For apps we selected a few to try, the gyoza, tempura avocado, cucumber salad, and some miso soup. 3 of those were a 10/10. The gyoza did not even need a sauce it was wonderful, the cucumber salad was marinated in a beautiful sauce, the miso soup was so flavorful. The only item I rated lower was the avocado tempura, purely for the fact it comes paired with a creamy sauce, personally I used the gyoza ponzu sauce for it and it was much better! For sushi items we got the Salmon Lover, Seared Salmon, and Red Dragon. All rolls were delicious, seared salmon was our favorite and red dragon was our least. But we would still consume them all again. The rolls are pricey at $26 per roll, however, you get a HUGE piece of fish laid atop the rice and real crab in every piece. Just on the size alone it's worth it. For dessert we had sesame balls, fresh and so so tasty! My boyfriend also got the pork katsu donburi togo for his lunch and that was amazing even the next day!"

"Japanese cuisine your heart desires, trust me. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming with fresh aquatic aroma. Sushi bar seating offers a first glance of the sushi chefs who artistically and gracefully create each order. SUBI waitresses are efficient, kind and provide the VIP experience. I highly recommend!"
