Southpaw Sushi

It was my first time here. I'm so glad I found this place! Excellent food! No fishy smell. The chef was considerate of my dietary restrictions and made me an off-menu gluten-free & dairy-free roll for me! They also had Tamari Gluten-free soy sauce. There was a bit of a wait due to them being busy. All in all, a great experience! Will definitely return.

This place is dope, I see why it has such high reviews. The dudes at the chef counter were and absolute pleasure to dine with. Igor was my main guy and he threw it down! Had a few pieces of nigiri I’ve never had before and everything was delightful. Well priced and super high quality. If you’re looking for sushi in Sac come here!

Husband and I sat at the bar and were treated to fresh, creative, and delicious sushi. Chef Shaq was very engaging and took care of everyone, making sure we were having a great time and enjoying our food. We had Seafood Nachos, Uptown and Electric Eel Rolls, and Sashimi. Everything was delightful. We finished it off with the refreshing Tempura Ice Cream. I have a new favorite sushi place.

Have you ever heard that sometimes the best restaurants are in the sketchiest parts of town? Well so far this is the best sushi spot in Sacramento, but it’s located in the wonderful Del Paso heights neighborhood. It is pricy and can get busy on the weekends, but the sushi is worth it for a nice date night. Parking can also sometimes be a problem as spaces are limited or sometimes occupied by homeless people. They have good specials here from time to time like their pork belly ramen bowl (pictured). I love salmon and they do a good crunchy salmon roll (pictured) and will add salmon if you ask. Our sushi chef at the bar (Shaq) doesn’t just create sushi-he creates art. Overall excellent sushi spot!
