Master Critic Review
Mrs. Fish
8.4
An underground Downtown lounge-meets-sushi bar with a playful, nightlife-ready energy. Rolls and nigiri lean modern and crowd-pleasing, backed by solid fish quality and a deep whisky/cocktail program. Best framed as a full evening out rather than a quiet sushi dinner.

Crispy rice spicy tuna, Yellowtail jalapeño sashimi, Chef’s nigiri selection

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Closest options are nearby paid structures on Hill and 7th; limited metered street parking after 6pm but competitive on weekends; no on-site valet.
Dress code: Trendy smart casual—jeans are fine, but most guests lean fashion-forward for the lounge energy.
Noise level: Loud during peak nights—conversation requires raised voices; quieter early evenings or weekdays.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation, depending on bar vs. table seating.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable—primarily an evening/night venue; earliest evenings usually have minimal waits.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Moderate selection—veggie rolls, salads, and a few small plates.
Vegan options: Limited—some vegetable rolls can be modified, but options are sparse.
Gluten-free options: Possible with modifications—sashimi and certain rolls work; request tamari and avoid sauces with hidden gluten.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes if you want a lively, nightlife-backed setting with energy and visuals; not ideal if you prefer quiet conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes on weekdays or early evenings; on weekends you may wait 30–45 minutes unless you opt for bar seating.
Is it kid-friendly? Not particularly—dark lighting, loud music, and a nightlife-forward atmosphere make it better suited for adults.
Best For
Better for: A full night out combining sushi, cocktails, and a lounge scene—more playful and social than traditional omakase rooms.
Skip if: You want a quiet, technique-driven sushi experience or if dietary restrictions require extensive customizations.
