We're spotlighting six of our favorite sushi places for St Louis locals and visitors to explore.
Midtown Sushi & Ramen
- Forest Park Ave and Grand
- Free parking
- Beautiful historic brick building
- Famous sushi and ramen
The single biggest local Sushi restaurant in St Louis is Midtown Sushi. Located in a historic brick building in midtown STL, you will discover that the interior is warm and inviting, with a very energetic staff and fresh sushi all day.
You can ask for a seat at the sushi counter where they construct the exquisite rolls or claim a table in the lovely dining areas with your group. The sushi is high quality and reliable, but the ramen really stands out. The warm, perfectly balanced bowls are a local favorite.
Oishi Sushi
- New Ballas Rd and Studt Ave
- Sushi and Japanese Cuisine
- Formal dinner vibe
Oishi is the Japanese word for "Delicious," which perfectly describes your experience at Oishi Sushi. As the second Oishi location in St Louis, this sushi restaurant is a living success story for STL entrepreneurialism. Founded by Mr. Suchin Prapaisilp, you will find a wonderful Japanese cuisine menu featuring fresh and flavorful sushi in every type of dinner presentation.
We love the boats, shells, and shows. We are excited to see not just sake and maguro but also specialties like sea urchin on the menu. And for those who don't crave rolls or sashimi, you'll love the full Japanese dinner menu, which includes tempura, teriyaki, sukiyaki, and yosenabe.
Yummi Tummi
- Big Bend Blvd and Flora Ave
- Unique Fusion Menu
- Excellent Sushi and Ramen
Yummi Tummi is one of the hottest sushi restaurants in St Louis with the perfect "something for everyone" menu. Rarely do you find exquisite authentic sushi and ramen next to American subs and Hawaiian poke, but at Yummi Tummi, this unique fusion sets the perfect vibe and ensures there is a delightful item on the menu for even the pickiest eaters in your party. Every single one of the appetizers is also a hit.
And their sushi is no second thought. Locals rave about both the traditional and specialty rolls in terms of quality and flavor. In fact, everything gets high ratings, including the meaty handmade subs and tangy poke. And if you were looking for truly loaded ramen (not just one piece of each ingredient) then you'll love the hearty bowls of traditional Japanese comfort food.
Sushi Boat
- Elm St and Kingshigway
- Everything in a boat
- Artistic presentation
- Great drinks list and desserts
Everyone loves sushi on a boat. We all look forward to sushi night with friends when we can order the big boat and then eat our sushi rolls, sashimi, and nigiri off the sculptural masterpiece. At Sushi Boat, they get our love of sushi sculpture.
Above the counter is a display of the three different sizes of the boat, from "pretty big" to "table-sized." Even small orders come in little ceramic boats, and we are all for it.
The sushi is top-notch and best of all - every roll is a work of art. Sushi Boat goes all out when shaping each roll and platter so that they feel special and fun. Flower blossoms are often used as garnish. Small dishes are served on shells. They also have a great wine, beer, and sake list, and they will set your dessert roll on fire. Who doesn't love a flaming dessert?
Top Sushi
- Schuertz Rd and Lackland Rd
- Japanese and Korean cuisine
- Great luch specials
Top Sushi has all the vibes of both a traditional Japanese and Korean lunch shop for sushi, ramen, noodles, and hot pot. The cabinet of traditional teapots and ceramic dolls, the sushi bar where you can sit on barstools and watch your rolls created, and the small yet elegant dining areas all give the place a wonderfully authentic feel with fast, reliable service.
The sushi menu is extensive, from nigiri and sashimi to endless classic and specialty rolls. The Korean part of the menu features bibimbop and bulgogi, two flavorful favorites, and the lunch specials are each a great deal that will brighten your day.
KoKuu Ramen and Sushi Bar
- Old RTE 66 and E Monroe
- Hidden Gem STL Sushi
- Pop Culture Chic
- Beautiful Presentation
KoKuu Ramen and Sushi Bar is a "hidden gem" that not many have discovered in the outer suburbs of St Louis, way out on Old RTE 66. But it's well worth the visit. Every plate and bowl is a work of art, and the sushi boards are exquisite. The venue combines a unique blend of formal dining and pop culture that will make your night feel fun and special, while the menu contains a vibrant combination of ramen, appetizers, entrees, and - of course - an incredible selection of sushi, nigiri, and sashimi.
For dessert, you absolutely must try the Taiyaki ice cream with red bean taiyaki, matcha, and vanilla ice cream. This is also one of the best places to get Ramune soda in STL.
