Verdun

Sushi Japanese Fusion Poke Bowl Tartare

Review Summary

Reviews of Sushi Bae point to fresh fish and toppings, a house made sauce that many enjoy, generous portions, and friendly staff, especially for takeout orders. The Verdun location is described as new and welcoming with limited seating, yet regarded as a Verdun gem that delivers solid miso soup, sushi fries, tuna, and overall sushi quality that meets expectations. Loyal customers note returning for years and not wanting to change spots, and there is a sense that Sushi Bae remains a reliable go to for the favorites. On the downside, portions are said to be shrinking and some reviews raise concerns about value, while deliveries can be disappointing when rolls are cucumber heavy, shrimp portions are tiny, or expected condiments like soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi are missing. A common tweak mentioned is ordering avocado or salmon hosomaki without lettuce, and there are comments about inconsistency between orders with the first delivery sometimes great and later ones not as good. Taken together, Sushi Bae is seen as a solid choice for sushi lovers who value freshness and speed to go, with caveats about consistency and value.View restaurant profile
