Owners treat you like family; we love this place. The soups are good. The rolls are delicious. It may well be the best sushi place we've been to... definitely the best one in the area!

I’ve traveled all over the country and this is my favorite spot. Jojo the owner waited on my table personally and made sure every single item was top notch. And it all was. The soup, salad, rock shrimp, and steak and scallop hibachi was top tier. This may seem like a little hole in the wall restaurant but I can assure you jojo makes up for it with her excellent service and huge heart. She truly wants every guest to fully enjoy their meal. She even flagged me down in the parking lot after I left and offered me one of their signature sodas for next time. I’d give them 10 stars if I could. Just absolutely perfect service on everything.

By far the best sushi I've had yet. The prices for the portions were very generous. Staff was very attentive, checking on us often. Will most definitely be coming back.

As an international student at South Dakota State University, I often struggled to find authentic Asian flavors. Fortunately, a friend highly recommended this sushi restaurant, so we decided to visit one weekend. To our delight, the food was not only delicious but also reasonably priced, and the staff were warm and attentive. We particularly loved their fried sushi—a unique and unforgettable flavor I had never experienced before. The entire dining experience was both novel and enjoyable, and I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. I’m sure you’ll love it too!

Visiting during the weekday lunch was certainly busy(for good reason). The staff maintained attentiveness and hospitality while the food was fresh and and absolutely fantastic. Going there this afternoon, downtown was rather silent and we were one of only two tables. The food and service were exactly the same, amazing. Too often I'm unimpressed with the service industry of late but Downtown Sushi invigorated my thirst to to enjoy a meal outside of the home. Thank you and we will see you soon.

Absolutely 5 stars all around. The food was great but the service was even better! We celebrated our sons birthday here having supper, and they went above and beyond to make our experience great!

Highly recommend! We came here for our 4 year anniversary. Food was outstanding. First place I have been to that has more than two veggie sushi rolls they have a solid list to choose from. My veggie lomein was outstanding you can tell they cook everything with care. Everything was great will be back here again. I would even go out of my way to come here rather than another place.
