Drunken fish will always be a fav! From the sushi to the service to the ambiance! It doesn't matter if you're with a group, a date or hanging with friends it's a chill vibe. I've never had anything that wasn't good honestly. One of my fav sushi places in the Lou. read more

I'm not a big fan of sushi but this place was pretty decent. They have a good happy hour deals with $6 and $6 bites. The service wasn't bad either event though it started to fill up more as it got closer to the end of HH. The inside is decorated for Halloween which was obviously on theme for the season. Good for happy hour, wouldn't super recommend for any other time. read more

This might be the best happy hour in St. Louis. Drinks and rolls run about a third of the regular price, so it's definitely worth it. The restaurant is two stories, fairly spacious, and has a small patio for when the weather's nice. The regular menu is on the pricier side, but I love how many vegetarian options they had. We got two orders each of the black panther roll and the vegan roll, plus cauliflower bites as an appetizer, which were really tasty!! Just a heads up, when you first walk in there's a faint musty smell, like the place hasn't been mopped recently, but it doesn't affect the food at all. I'll be back to take advantage of that happy hour again. read more

Food is always good but the drinks are a hit or miss sometimes. I used to love coming here but lately every time I walk in it seems like some of the workers are upset they have customers. Like in the sense they don't want to be working. Other than that the Japanese Chicken Wings are a must. read more

Went for happy hour which is an incredible deal! $6 per roll when they go for about $20 is a steal. I went for the white tiger and the mother of dragon rolls (this must be Game of Thrones-inspired). They are absolutely worth it when it comes to happy hour. Based purely on taste, I thought the sauces were a bit overdone especially on the white tiger - I could barely taste the fish. I'm not sure I would pay for these rolls outside of happy hour. I also tried my friends black panther roll which sounds interesting on paper but the purple rice was very hard, almost undercooked! I was expecting a sticky rice consistency. Service was slow with a lot of looking around for our server. Overall, 100% recommend here if it's during happy hour and would think twice otherwise. read more

II ordered the torched Salmon Roll, the Tataki, and the Yellowtail, and those three totally made my night and were absolutely delicious! I will say, parking in CWE can be a little tricky. I also should mention that I came with a big party, and we had called ahead about splitting checks to make it easier. Our server said it would be possible, but the communication was lacking. In the end, we had to write down all our items ourselves, which was a bit of a hassle. Then, when we thought one of the checks was already paid, we returned and were met with some disrespect. I do understand it was a large group, and I give grace to the new server, but I really think they needed a better team effort that night. Overall, the food was amazing, but the service really brought the experience down. read more

I like coming here for the Sake & the vegan rolls. I noticed this newer vegan friendly menu item (pictured), and decided to have that instead. I'm usually skeptical about restaurants and their cauliflower recipes because they aren't always a hit, BUT this was amazing! I'm glad I found another Vegan option for me in the CWE when I don't feel like cooking. The ambiance is always amazing anywhere for this location. You can sit upstairs at or near the bar, inside/downstairs overlooking outside, or sit outside (weather permitting) and still enjoy the environment. read more

Went on a friday night. Made reservations & showed up about 20minutes early. They had availability outside. We said great, sat outside onna nice evening. However the traffic really made it unpleasant. The server took our drink & appetizer order. Returned with drinks & took our food order. The food came out quickly. We ordered tempura, edamame, mango roll, california roll, vegetable roll & had them Make a cucumber roll for our picky eater. Food was decent. Not the best sushi Ive ever had but not the worst either. read more

Drunken Fish has been my go to-to sushi spot for years! I love their menu - there's something for everybody! The sushi is always fresh and you can't beat their periodic special deals. This night they were offering a free California roll. No other purchase required. Prices are as expected. My one gripe is that the atmosphere is dark (decor and lighting; and the place could use a good scrubbing - windows, floors. Maybe that's why the lighting is dim. read more

I thought for the price the food was just mid. The service was good and we didn't wait very long for the food. We had two sushi rolls, and two poke' bowls. I thought the poke' bowls were mostly rice, cucumbers, mangos and other ingredients and not very much salmon. We were there for a medical appointment at Wash U and the restauant was conveinently close. read more

I wasn't a big fan as someone who religiously eats out. The server was just ok. She seemed slammed, but we went during light traffic so not many patrons inside/outside restaurant. The weather was permitting so we sat in the patio area outside. Our waters were never refilled and we weren't provided any utensils. Then, when asked we waited 15+ minutes because the host forgot. When we got up to ask again they said, "we don't give utensils out [to non customers]. Lol, weird. Then the host realize we were sitting outside--mind you we mentioned this when asking the first time--she says, "oh, that makes sense." An odd experience. The food wasn't great either. Bite size food portions. Drinks were good, but tasted like a popsicle. I was underwhelmed and probably won't return. There are plenty options in the CWE so you're not missing anything with this one. read more

I visited the Drunken Dish for the first with a friend on a Thursday around 5pm and had a great time. The restaurant has a bright, open-air vibe with lots of wood that reminiscent of Japandi interior design. Eating here is great for any occasion. Ordered Drunken Fish Signature Roll and it came out so quick. The flavors were a great balance of salty, sweet, and Unami flavors with wonderful textures. The only thing was I inhaled the roll so fast, so maybe a slightly larger portion size would have been nice. Service was fast and attentive. Overall, an excellent place for sushi read more

I went to Drunken Fish last night with my girlfriend -- a spot I always heard my older brothers hype up back when they'd hit the Central West End. It's long had a reputation as one of those "nicer" dinner spots in the area. After finally trying it, I'd say... it was okay. The vibes were decent and the service was friendly and prompt. No complaints there. It was a bit chilly inside, but to be fair, I'm always cold -- so I'll let them slide with that this time. We ordered Asahi beers and asked for them on draft, but unfortunately, they only had bottles. That might seem like a small thing, but the experience isn't quite the same -- the bottle version just never hits right for me. We started with the Firecracker Shrimp. Texture-wise, it was on point: crispy batter and great crunch. However, the "smoky dragon sauce" threw me off. It had this smoky BBQ flavor that wasn't terrible -- just not something I want paired with shrimp. It gave more chicken wing vibes than seafood. Drunken Fish Roll (my order): Shrimp tempura, Japanese mayo, asparagus, topped with tuna, eel sauce, Masago, tempura crumbs, and sprouts. Flavor-wise, it was solid. My issue? The "Japanese mayo" was giving Hellmann's or Miracle Whip more than Kewpie or Kenko. I'll be straight up, if they're going to call it Japanese mayo, it should taste like it. Either that or go heavier on the eel sauce to carry the roll. Crispy Volcano Roll: My girlfriend got this one. I don't like crab mixes, so I didn't try it, but it looked well-presented and crispy. She said it was good but not mind-blowing. It wasn't a bad night -- but it wasn't a great food experience either. Will I try Drunken Fish again? Yes. Will that be soon? No. read more

I came over here on a Friday for happy hour with my wife and it was one of the best happy hours we found in central west end. The only issue was the service was terrible, our waitress just didn't care it seemed like. The food was pretty good, i really liked their sushi. read more

Was greeted right away by a super friendly hostess. We were seated and got some amazing drinks called the Mr. Miyagi. We got there during happy hour so the drinks were $6.00 and the sushi we ordered was on the happy hour list for $6.00. We also ordered the breaded cauliflower.. soo good. The sushi was delicious. I would definitely recommend and will be back. read more

After a short google search I found this location and wanted to give it a try. Prior to going I called to see if reservations were needed. They let me know no same day reservations were available and promptly hung up the call. Maybe that should of indicated that it was going to be an eh experience. I brushed it off as maybe they were slammed. They had amble seating and looked like a local regular spot. The type where wearing sweatpants and jeans were typical. The location is very casual. The pricing is probably $35-45 pp depending on what you're in the mood for. You could easily spend more depending on what menu item calls out to you. I went with the pineapple chicken bowl and appreciated having a dish with veggies in it. My friend had a sushi roll. Everything was ok, 2-3 stars. read more

My friend and I came here for quick dinner plans. We were immediately sat upstairs and this was my first time being on the upper floor. I honestly prefer sitting upstairs than downstairs. Nontheless our waiter greeted us and he was polite and patient since this was my friend first time going here. We eventually settled on the chicken teriyaki nachos as a appetizer and for our entrees we got seafood friend rice that contained scallops, crab meat and shrimp. The other dish was a salmon poke bowl. We ordered regular foundation drinks but if you want goo alcoholic beverages this place has some good choices. Everything tasted good. As always until next time... read more

Drunken Fish had good food and good service. I had the summer salad with shrimp. It was delicious. I was immediately turned off by the dirty table, sticky floors, dirty menu, and dirty bathroom. I saw on of their employees smoking outside of the restaurant before going in. Go to Drunken Fish for good food and little else. read more

The food was pretty good, but the atmosphere was a little disappointing, just expected a little more upscale. Service also was pretty good and the happy hour drinks were good as well. read more

I love Drunken Fish! The food is always good and I enjoy when they add innovative new dishes to their menu. Their happy hour menu has a lot of good delicious items and you got to get the nachos! Either one, they both are so good! I have been to more than one of their locations and the service is always great! The swanky atmosphere is always a vibe and I enjoy going here. read more

I had a coupon for a free shareable so I booked a reservation before it expired. I was excited about trying Drunken Fish because I always see people on the patio enjoying themselves. I was disappointed by the interior. It's underwhelming and outdated. It doesn't give a fresh, lively vibe. The prices were high compared to other sushi restaurants. $22 for an 8 piece maki roll? Come on. The service was good and the Carribbean Roll was delicious. The pineapple bowl was just ok and the firecracker shrimp appetizer was good. Overall the experience was average. read more

I always have a great experience at Drunken Fish. Rebecca and Shanna are amazing--every time we come in, we're greeted right away at the door or as soon as we're seen. They really make us feel welcome. Me and my fiancé always have the best time here. The service is consistently great, and the food is always on point. You can tell they care about the experience, not just serving food. Definitely one of our go-to spots! read more

I visited Drunken Fish Central End location expecting to have a meal. While seated at my table waiting to be served, I observed what appeared to be a mouse in the restaurant. I informed the waitress, who responded, "Oh, I'm sorry." Because of the rodent Mickey(mouse) sighting, I did not feel comfortable continuing my meal and chose to leave. I hope management addresses the issue so the restaurant can maintain a clean and safe dining environment for guests.. Consumers beware!! read more

Appetizers were awful, the shrimp & cauliflower options were not fresh, tasteless & the veggie rice was bland, old & guaranteed I won't be going back. Stl has so many better options over the years that this has to be the biggest drop-off ever! The sushi was average at best. Trader's Joe far exceeds and at a much better value read more

Terrible service for to go orders and even sitting at the bar. Ordered 2 happy hour rolls & no one checked on me for 35 mins. Bad management. Don't go. read more

As someone from the West Coast, I'm always on the lookout for great sushi -- and I'm genuinely shocked (and delighted) when I find it in the Midwest. And I say that as a Midwestern girl transplanted to the other side of the country. I'm also a severe celiac, so finding a place that not only understands gluten-free needs, but intentionally centers them with warmth, heart, and care is a rare and meaningful gift. The Drunken Fish has been a wonderful, delightful place to stop in -- for a meal, a few hours of work, a friendly smile, and, of course, excellent sushi. Chad and Chastity took such great care of me this week while I was visiting, and I'm already looking forward to my next trip back to St. Louis -- and, most importantly, back to The Drunken Fish! read more

The Host Bailey was the best host I ever encountered she needs a raise!! She has a great attitude that is very refreshing.

We went here for a date night and spent about $150 on food and a martini. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing across the board. The food was poor, the atmosphere was uncomfortable, and the service was inattentive. The front door is broken, so if you are seated upstairs, expect to hear it slam every few seconds, which quickly becomes disruptive. The restaurant was nearly empty, yet service was still slow and disengaged. Staff were in the back eating instead of attending to tables, and when we had to walk around the corner to ask for assistance, it felt like we were inconveniencing them. I normally avoid leaving low reviews, but this experience warranted it. If you are looking for a better option, the Westport location has consistently delivered good service and quality sushi, and we have never had a bad experience there. read more

I yelp searched the most reviewed sushi place in STL. I feel like bc there are many reviews and visits, it would be a testament to how good the place is and how popular. I want to give Drunken fish 4 stars but there were things that really made it a 3.2. When I stepped inside, I pictured something higher end. But it was really dated looking. The table tops were painted wooden panels that were sticky to the touch. The restroom had a fly hovering over the toilet with a mirror in which you had to bend down to see yourself. (I'm not that tall) Aside from the condition of the place, the sushi rolls were good. However, anyone that cooks rice often will know the texture of rice when the lid has been left open and the top layer dry and inedible... the sushi rolls had bits and pieces of these hard dry pieces of rice... at first I thought they were chili flakes or sesame seeds, but it was the rice... it really wasn't pleasant at all. Besides the dry rice, the sushi rolls were good but a tad bit overpriced. The colossal calamari roll was good but not $21 good. I'm not sure I would come back to be honest. This is stl's most reviewed sushi place and it disappointed... Service was okay... I'm not sure what the server could have done to make it better but also didn't seem to catch that it was my first time to offer recommendations or specials. read more

I came here with a friend to try a new restaurant. Outdoor seating is available but we decided to eat indoors considering how hot and humid it is. Tony was our server and he was very friendly, attentive and eager to assist. Very knowledgeable of the food and drink menu which was a plus. I decided on the stir fry noodles shrimp, lobster spring rolls, teriyaki chicken and for drinks Mr.miyagi and Sake Punch. I did not like the stir fry noodles at all . Udon noodles were too fat , airy and bland . Thank god Tony let me switch up and I decided on shrimp rice , much better. The drinks were both delicious and refreshing. Prices reasonable but the ambiance was very outdated . Restroom needed attention and outdated as well on the upstairs level. read more

Oh drunken fish. The best place for happy hour. We came in early on a Friday and there was barely anyone there, we were the only people in the happy hour section. Great priced drinks (and you can upgrade to better liquor for literally $2-$3, so worth it), and cheap sushi. This isn't top grade, will remember forever sushi, but it's great for the price and I'll take it. Such a St. Louis classic. read more
