Went here for lunch today for the first time and it was the best sushi I have had in awhile! Salmon was fresh and delicious and I really enjoyed the calamari salad and banana wonton dessert too. Service was also above and beyond, Jin made sure I had an amazing lunch. The owners and staff here really care about their customer's experience and they have been in business for 19+ years. I can't wait to bring my friends and family back soon. Really cute place right on Venice Ave in downtown Venice. Highly recommend! read more

I was somewhat disappointed in our experience at Bushido. Our server was very friendly and kind, but forgot to either order or serve two of the dishes that we ordered. The glasses that were served with the bottled beer were too large - we prefer small glasses that we pour for each other as is the Japanese tradition. Also, the iceberg lettuce, the only thing in the salad, was not torn into small enough pieces to use chopsticks efficiently, and the dressing was lumped unattractively in the center. The miso soup was not very tasty and quite plain. We enjoyed the sushi, however. It was Americanized (mayo!) but, it was still not bad. I ordered the Japanese curry, but it did not come with fukujinzuke, which is one of my favorite things! So, the experience was okay, but I won't be rushing back. read more

Solid spot for a quick, authentic sushi bite. The waiter was super friendly and the food came out fast and reasonably priced. Started out with one of the best miso soups I've had with a deep flavorful broth and lots of scallions, and the seaweed salad was delicious. The Bushido rice was a good choice, different, garlicky with a little jalapeño kick, and they give you a yummy pink sauce on the side to cool it down a bit. Good selection of regular sushi and specialty rolls. We got a sashimi roll and bushido roll. Both fresh and filling. Nothing was too special to write home about but I would recommend it for their clean, quick, casual vibe, and good service. read more

Service was slow and frustrating. Our server, Heidi, camped out in the back while we were waiting for simple items like straws and napkins after repeating ourselves multiple times. The food wasn't even good. Afterwards, our checks were confused multiple times and even our cards were handed off to the wrong tables. Then, we noticed a 25 dollar overcharge in our bank account. We called and they said to come back to get our money back in cash? Safe to say this place is not worth visiting. read more

It's a nice sushi shop in downtown Venice. The atmosphere is very relaxed, one where you can enjoy a date or a meal with friends and watch the game. I ordered the negamaki beef, volcano roll, and the dynamite roll as suggested by our waitress. The sushi rolls are handmade behind a bar in full view, so you can see that you're about to get fresh sushi. The negamaki took a minute to come out as my appetizer, but it was so juicy and flavorful. It's thinly sliced beef wrapped around spring onions and sautéed with broccoli. The waitress brought over a free plate of banana wontons for dessert. It was nice to find a good sushi restaurant in the area, I will be returning. read more

I was born and raised here and this is the BEST local sushi spot in Venice!! Everything they sell is amazing. I order to go a lot for parties and they always go above and beyond for my orders. Great for date nights too! read more

This place has completely mid sushi. There is nothing terrible about it, there is also nothing special about it. So, if you want forgettable sushi go for it. Personally. I prefer Samurai on Hillview. It's in a completely different class. read more

LOVE this place! 10+ years & I've never had a bad experience. Every roll I've tried has tasted great. The people are so kind. Usually I order to go but it's fun to sit & watch them prepare food when I can. The Caribbean roll is my favorite! read more

Cute local sushi and Japanese place on the main strip in Venice. The service was excellent and the sushi was too. We also tried the ramen and tempura udon, the ramen was just okay but the udon and tempura was great on a cold day. The crab rangoons and sashimi samplers were perfect appetizers, and they even homemade their gyoza. Definitely one of the better asian spots around the island. read more

Nice relaxing atmosphere with soft music, i liked the oriental interior and details. We got the Shrimp Shumai, Tokyo roll, and Godzilla roll. The server was nice and let us go over the menu, our food was ready in around 15 minutes. The Shumai were decent, overpriced for the amount, and not as hot as I'd like but not bad, the Tokyo and Godzilla rolls were delicious and filling, priced fair, didn't taste low quality. Then we got had banana wontons for dessert, which were alright, sweet and airy. Overall I'd come back again, just for the sushi. read more

I order the spicy tuna roll and crunchy roll when I go. The fish is very fresh. The rice is very sticky high quality rice. The food is bursting with flavor! They are very high quality and quiet sushi spot. The staff is always friendly as well. I love this place! read more

Came here during our stay in Venice. We ordered Chicken Katsu and Chicken Teriyaki. The dishes come with both soup and salad as well as your choice of steamed white rice or fried rice. We also ordered a bottle of lychee sake. The pros: The sake was delicious! Service was quick The free dessert was good Cons: The food wasn't great. I've had chicken Katsu before but this one was really greasy and didn't taste fresh. The soup was very plain and lacked flavor. The fried rice also lacked flavor. The chicken teriyaki was my least favorite. The chicken tasted boiled and then smothered in a lackluster teriyaki sauce mixed with veggies. The seating was uncomfortable and table space was limited. I didn't get to try the Bushido Fried Rice which sounds good but not sure I'd be back. read more

We absolutely love going here! They are always so patient, kind and the food is on point. It's one of the few places we frequent in the area. read more

the miso soup was cold. staff rude. they have Wi-Fi for guests and they wouldn't give the password to guests. lol

My local sushi spot, absolutely love it here. The service is always so nice and friendly. I always try different Sushi and Sashimi when I go, but they are pretty much always out of the white fish Sashimi, wish they would just remove it from the menu haha, but besides that, it's all good! read more

Great Sushi!!!! Brought my daughter from France there and have recommended Bushido to my friends from the day they opened. Have not heard a bad review yet. I do hear Why am I going to Sarasota when the best Sushi Bar is here in Venice. 5 Star rating read more

Stopped in for lunch after a hot walk along the beach. Had a nice, quiet atmosphere. It wasn't too busy on a Sunday afternoon, but the service was great. Waitress was very nice and I appreciate that she wore a mask. I got their lunch special of tofu teriyaki, which also came with a miso soup (I think it was a choice between soup or salad). A lot of places have weird tofu but theirs had a nice breading with good flavor, not too mushy but not overly tough. Food was a nice balance of textures and flavors, and I was also starving so that helped. The waitress was also kind enough to give a few complimentary banana wontons for dessert. I only got a tea to drink but for a total cost of about $18, I left super full. I had an hour drive back home, so I really appreciated the hospitality here. read more

Take out order...Chicken katsu was very dry and barely warm. Rice was also very dry and not hot. Sushi rolls were not holding together well and had little flavor. Miso soup was the only thing that was actually good. VERY disappointed since we have ordered from here before and it was fine. This time not worth the money we spent and I will probably not return. read more

If I could leave a 0 star review I would, the sushi the sell at Publix is better than this dog food. i don't understand how they are still running? The only good thing that was good was the miso soup. the fried rice was white rice with soy sauce... just very half a**ed read more

I was craving some sushi for lunch one day.  I could have easily gone to Publix for their daily lunch specials.  But I heard about Bushido from a teammate at work and decided I would take the walk down and try it out. I placed my order prior and couldn't wait to have my sushi fix for lunch.  I ordered a Bushido roll as well a California Sunset Roll.  The price was typical from what I would normally pay for sushi up North so I was okay with it. I absolutely loved both.  The Bushido roll had so many different flavors and it was just what I was looking for.  The California Sunset roll was a lovely spin on a California Roll.  I will be back in the area next week and already have my order ready for that trip.  I printed out their menu ... and will check off each roll I try until I have had them all.  I don't even mind the drive to Venice from North Port to get sushi like this.  I will drive for quality and sushi!! read more

Took a friend there for his birthday dinner. Food was good and served quickly, however, portions for cost weren't great. I got a poke bowl for $13+ and tuna was good but overall maybe 2 oz. Friend got a " boat" and got 3 or 4 sushi rolls and sushimi on top but at $34.00 well bit of a stretch . read more

Good local sushi and Japanese spot. They couldn't have been more friendly or axcomodating of my lil. Her first experience eating Japanese food. They have sushi bar and regular table seating. Lunch bento box specials and other reasonable deals for large portions with variety often including soup and salad. Everything was tasty. Thabks again to the staff for taking such great care of us!!! Our chef was from Bali. My brother from another mother. Maybe they will add soto ayam to the menu??? read more

Yummy! Super friendly staff. We ordered over 10 rolls in our party. Everybody loved each roll. We sat at the sushi bar and the sushi chef gave us a sample of jellyfish. The jellyfish was surprisingly good. It was a great night. read more

We are visiting from out of town and this was recommended to us. We absolutely love it! I would pass on the salad - I like a little more ginger flavoring- however the 5 rolls were ordered were amazing! The staff was very helpful in giving suggestions and the chef was so patient while I asked questions about the different fish. I am hoping to make it back before we have to leave! Can not recommend enough!!! read more

Best ginger salad I have had- and I eat a lot of sushi. Greta rolls and fresh fish- and the banana dessert is amazing!

Never have Japanese food this bad in my life. If I don't have to give a star I wouldn't give one. Sushi rice is mushy, salmon skin is greasy, brown sauce on sushi is unnecessary. The Arnold Palmer tasted terrible. Will never go back to this restaurant anymore! read more

Loved it!!!! I would go there again and tell friends about it! Loved the ability to park at the side of restaurant!

Great friendly sushi bar place. Food is okay not five star quality because I been in other sushi and rolls bars but it is in convenient location and great service read more

I'd give 10 stars if I could. This was the best sushi I have had in a while. My husband had the Tekka Sampler, kids split the California and Philadelphia Roll, I had the Dynamite and Josh's Roll. We also shared the house made Gyoza and Edamame. The Miso Soup was how Miso soup should be. Everything was so good. The fish was all fresh and not funky. If we vacation in Venice again, this will be a must stop again. Enjoy!! read more

Bushido deserves 100 stars just for hospitality alone. Sat at the bar, ordered sake, sushi, and salads. One of the chefs offered us free sample plates of squid, it was delicious! The waitress was so sweet and helpful, she gave me an owl bracelet and ended our meal with complimentary banana wontons that were absolutely mouth watering. Everything we ordered was delicious especially for the price. I recommend the Caribbean roll or the devil roll, and the pineapple sake! read more

Fantastic sushi! Delish selection of fruit sake. Quiet peaceful atmosphere and lovely staff! Our new favorite sushi spot!

Loved this place... stopped in because as we were outside walking down the sidewalk, this couple exits Bushido praising amongst themselves about the quality of this food! We happened to hear them and can't get any better of a review than that for a reason to try a place!!! We split an amazing Caribbean roll, Chicken Fried Rice Bowl and Banana Dessert Wontons-- all for around $20. Be wary of the spicy mayo- it'll bite ya. Highly recommend trying it next time you're in Venice. read more
