**this review is for Hinoki O** Reno's only omakase restaurant can be found at Rancharrah. An intimate dining experience that is only open on weekends, This is a spot we can't wait to come back to. Omakase seats 8 at the bar and the sushi chef prepares the nigiri in front of you and explains each fish as it comes out. A lot of the fish is seasonal, and all the fish is flown in fresh from Japan. The sushi chefs is very knowledgeable and very charismatic and isn't afraid to joke around. We appreciate Richy and his sake recommendation. Our top pick 1000% was the A5 Wagyu. It just MELTS in your mouth! We chose this spot to celebrate our anniversary and we think it's going to become a tradition to celebrate here. Overall, can't wait to come back! read more

This place has so many different choices for sauces and proteins and fixings. I did appreciate the variety. I also love eating poke because I feel like I am eating healthier than other choices in restaurants. We came in and no one was in there, but two people came in behind us. The nature of assembling poke bowls is that it takes a minute. There was one worker and she did her best. The look of the assembled bowl was 5/5 top notch! I appreciated that they allowed us to go over and sit at the tables at the sushi place that adjoins it. The only thing missing for me was more flavor, with all those things in there I would think it would be a flavor explosion! I think, for me, it came down to the sauce ratio. I ordered habanero mango sauce and spicy mayo. Maybe more sauce volume would have made it for me. Not sure. read more

This review is strictly for Hinoki Omakase, but I'll leave it here since I can't find a separate page for that experience. We treated ourselves to Hinoki O for our wedding anniversary dinner late last Fall. This was truly a legendary meal. We will be hard pressed to top this experience. We ended up being the only booking that night, which lent an undeservedly private feel to it! We indulged in the standard + waygu option, and each bite was more luxurious that the one before it. Showstoppingly beautiful & melt in your mouth delicious, the entire meal for a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds. We opted in for a sake pairing, and that was delightful as well! Each expertly curated sip matched & complemented the course. Our host & chefs were attentive, personable & knowledgeable guides that brought us along on a culinary journey. If you are a fan of impeccably fresh fish & enjoy the pleasant surprise of not knowing what you may be served, the Hinoki Omakase adventure might be for you! It's worth it to mention that it is a spendy meal, and available by reservation only, but its a unique, highly skilled and indulgent dining experience we're lucky to have in Reno. read more

This review is for Hinoki Omakase. They also do a hand roll bar Tuesday through Thursday that I don't think many people know about. It is divine. While most sushi options in Reno are AYCE, the hand roll bar uses more premium fish and has different combos based on how many hand rolls you want. The service is equally as stellar as it is for the omakase nights. The vibe here is wonderful, everything is clean and nice with decor that really puts you in the mood for sushi. If you get a chance to swing by the hand roll bar, you won't regret it! read more

It was quite the amazing experience. Everything was done very carefully and intentionally. It's a very intimate dinner as there's only a seating for 8 people. I've been to Japan and dang, this is the best sushi I've ever had. You get to try real wagyu beef - like the ones they listens to jazz, drink beer and get massaged for 10-13 years. Wow, just wow! They fly the fish from Japan here. You get REAL wasabi. Their menu changes every 4-6 weeks. Please note you'll probably want to do the premium version of this Omakase dinner as it would be sad if you were there for your birthday dinner and others were getting dishes you weren't. Also, they won't do anything special for your birthday, you are just recognized. read more

Some friends recommended this place, so I finally decided to give it a try. Ever since I discovered poke, I've been obsessed! The spot is small, but they have a few tables inside and outside where you can sit and enjoy your food. The prices are reasonable, and while the experience wasn't perfect, it wasn't bad either. I say that because the person who helped me didn't really understand or hear what I was saying I literally had to raise my voice and repeat the ingredients more than once. I even asked for the seaweed salad on the side, but she put it inside my bowl. I mean, I don't really mind I was gonna eat it anyway but sometimes I just prefer it on its own. Other than that little hiccup, everything else was great and the vibe was really chill ¿Quieres que le dé un giro más divertido o sarcástico? read more

I cannot overstate how much I love the temaki bar on Wednesdays. I keep coming back time and time again and bringing more people. The vibes at Rancharrah are 10/10, so nice to sit outside as the sun goes down. The fish is so fresh and yummy. The chefs choice nigiri continues to be my favorite, and the unagi was very good too. The fish is buttery and melty, perfect little pillowy bites. Always one of my favorite sushi experiences in reno! read more

Hinoki Poke - BYO poke - Poke Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Had seen on a recent facebook post that they had increased their business days so we decided to drop by. We've been here previously for omakase, so easy enough to find the location. We both ended up doing the deluxe combo, which offered a good variety of hand rolls. Every roll was delicious and had pretty good quality ingredients. Service was really good and the hand rolls came out at a good rate. Didn't go too long without a hand roll, but didn't get over loaded either. Hopefully they expand their hand roll options as they get busier, have been to similar concepts in San Fran, and this place really reminds me of it. We'll definitely be back! read more

I come here quite often. I used to drive to south Reno all the time to get my poke fix, but since they opened one a few block away from my house, I eat from here pretty often. That said, I order the same thing every time because some of the other options are not always as fresh or the flavors are not what I prefer. I never eat in the restaurant, it's always a take-out order. It's pretty quiet in there, they could benefit from some music for a better ambiance. The staff is always friendly, it's super fast. The only comment is that sometimes the fish is not as fresh as the fish from their south Reno location and I'd like a larger seaweed salad portion! lol read more

Just move out here for work, I'm big fan of poke bowls and this spot did not disappoint. Flavor and all were on point. I also introduced my roommate to poke bowls for the first time and he really loved it. We'll definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Was in the mood for some poke and decided to try this spot in Rancharrah for the first time. The restaurant is very clean inside and there is seating available inside and outside. The woman who helped us wasn't overly friendly, but she did provide some suggestions throughout. The poke itself was delicious- one of the best tasting I've had in a long time. It was fresh and flavorful, and I liked the combination of sauces (I got the Sesame Shoyu and Spicy Mayo and was told that was a popular combination). The fish did not taste fishy at all. Only thing was the avocado was pretty brown. My only criticism is that there is only one size of poke bowl to purchase, and it comes with two proteins. This was about $17, and it's a very large size. I would love a smaller portion (and cheaper) option for one protein. For a mid afternoon snack/late lunch, it's nice to have the option. read more

Hinoki Poke is easily my favorite poke restaurant in town! Hinoki is a long-standing name in the Reno sushi community and they did not disappoint when they opened Hinoki Poke. You can visit in person and Hinoki Poke is also on DoorDash. The fish and other ingredients is always of the highest quality! Sometimes poke restaurants don't always offer the best cuts of fish, but that is never the case at Hinoki. Their poke bowls are quite large, and I can usually spread it into two meals for myself. You can order from their preset poke menu or create your own bowl, which is always fun! If you are visiting in person, Hinoki Poke is more of a cafeteria-style walk up and build your own bowl type of place. The restaurant has a couple of small dining areas, both indoor and outdoor, or you can take your meal to another vendor at Rancharrah. read more

Hinoki Poke - Poke Bowl to go! - Poke Near Me - Reno, Nevada

TL;DR High grade decadence, delicious sushi in the biggest little city For Reno there are little to no places that truly offer a gourmet dining and educational experience. Which is exactly what this felt like, my first omakase experience which they try to keep as traditional as possible but it obviously has an American twist on it meaning the customer service and the conversations with the chefs, as I understand it in Japan they expect you to not the food and have strict policies but here it's a little more lax and friendly. My wife and I along with 6 of our friends went to experience this decadent and delicious experience, and even though the price was well over 200$ it truly felt unique and special. I definitely felt out of my tax bracket and after asking them many questions about the quality of the fish rest assured you are getting the freshest and the best fish you can get, they even made the Unni (sea urchin) taste delicious and not as gamey as you would think it to be. All in all if you can afford it and treat yourself to an amazing experience do it. The chefs were professional as well as the waitress, much to my surprise but were willing to joke around with you and have wonderful conversations with you. However if you want to act like an eccentric and be silent your entire meal to enjoy all the food that works as well and they will do their best to accommodate you. My recommendation, these people are human too so recognize the effort they put into it and try to be as friendly and appreciative as possible. As I understand it they never try to keep their fish for any longer than a day or 2 before they decide that the quality has gone degraded too much. read more

Yummy poke in rancharrah! I'm not going to lie at first I thought the price was a little too high but, with the amount of poke I received, it was definitely worth it! I ended up building my own bowl and the tuna and hamachi tasted fresh. The service was great and was friendly. They only have seating outside. read more

This is one of the best bowls of poke I've had anywhere. Who would've guessed that Reno could support such a great business? All the ingredients and especially the fish were top notch. Prices are a little higher than at most other poke places, but the quality is so much better. Good sized portions too. Also ordered the takoyaki, which was perfectly prepared and came with generous chunks of octopus. read more

This is absolutely the best poke bowl in Reno. I never even wanted to try poke bowls before, but was hooked once I tasted theirs. The number of ingredients and their fresh quality is amazing. The portions are generous and you can try so many different sauces and toppings. The price is reasonable, and you can get points to redeem as credit on the bill. It's located in the charming Village at Rancharrah. We discovered it when attending the summer concert series. read more

I went here for the first time after pregnancy. So, my review can be skewed since I couldn't eat raw fish for some time. Overall, the experience was a 10 out of 10. Met up a friend to catch up. Entered the store, and it was super clean, and the staff was so kind. They helped us with our order. They gave us time to look over their menu to build our poke bowl. They made the bowls quickly, and we paid. The inside is a bit small, but the outdoor seating is endless. The complex obviously has lots of outdoor seating. It being a weekday was not as busy, so the options were endless. The bowl looked amazing. I got Hamachi and salmon for my protein with rice as the base. It was super delicious. I will say the spice level was not so spicy. Wish it was, but I had some lemon and ginger to help. I should have asked if they had Wasabi. I think I'll do that to make it even better. Check them out. It was super delicious, and the protein was fresh, just pure perfection. I wish I was better at describing the taste. But I loved it and that's that! read more

This was 1000% a 5 star experience. My boyfriend and I went here to celebrate our birthdays. I was completely blown away by this entire experience. The chefs, the quality of food, the environment-- everything was absolutely phenomenal. We did the omakase standard experience which included about 15 items, which was perfect for us. We also did the sake pairing which included 5 very generous portions of filtered sake. Each sake was absolutely spectacular & paired well with the progression of the dinner. Although pricy, this experience is 1000% worth it for a special occasion or as a once in a while treat. My boyfriend and I went to Japan last March & this was a lovely experience that transported us both back to the quality of food and hospitality that Japan is known for. Hats off to the chefs, the owner and our server. This is an absolute gem in Reno! read more

Went by Hinoki, craving poke after a spa day at dolce vita. The small shop is next door to Muray, great ambiance, I ordered a bowl of poke, it's taste good, little pricy side. But worth it. I was greeted by friendly staff members and definitely would be back. The foods in my bowl are fresh, and I have no complaints in that department. read more

Really delicious poke with lots of options and flavors!! I also love that they have options other than poke. It's a bit pricey but makes sense for the area it's in. Patio seating is great in the summertime! read more

In the mood for sushi. Came here because of the rating. 4+stars. Gotta be good. Much to our surprise, it was a sushi bowl place. Ok. It's just as good but more food. I ordered the tuna bowl. I loaded it up. Rice, avocado, sea weed, ginger, etc. My buddy ordered the yellow tail bowl with crab, rice, etc. Both bowls were really good. Fish tasted fresh. The service was great. Everybody was very helpful. This was our first time here, and needed the help. We sat outside where we could people watch and talk. This was a great find for our last day in Reno. The Villages is a great place to bring the family the chill with friends or meet new ones. I'm glad we found it. read more

10/21/23 Late as usual , 1st timer here was feeling some Poke and yelp helped me find a local spot . They have a Sushi Place next door as well which I can't wait to try as well . The food was amazing the bowls are massive and for the price of everything I got was well worth it . About $20 but as you can see in pic what a bowl. TUNA w/white rice and literally everything on it . Little extra of everything because I'm extra as you see with all my stuff . The service was great and its cool little spot. What's nice about this spot is this is in The Rancharrah area with plenty of outdoor seating and massive fire pit . I will definitely be going back it was delicious! read more

Hinoki Poke - Build your own Bowl - Poke Near Me - Reno, Nevada

ABSOLUTE gem of a spot, and the clear top contender for best sushi for casual eats in the greater Reno area. (Their other offering Hinoki O is better, but not a regular food spot at $200+ per person.) They're in soft launch with limited hours, so they don't get a ton of foot traffic -- which is an absolute injustice to the incredible quality of food they provide in the $20-$30 range. I know you can get your typical Reno AYCE sushi for the same price, but the quality they offer here is unmatched even against higher price points. read more

As a family we were craving a poke bowl. We came across this location. You build your own bowl. The staff is very friendly and patient to assist walking you through the process. The ingredients are fresh and they have many sauce options. We absolutely loved the option of spicy crab and various toppings/shakers. It's a plus they offer to go packs for hot sauce and soy sauce. They also have a great selection of beverages. So difficult to choose as they all look delicious. We tried two of them and they tasted just as it sounded, flavorful. We will definitely return! read more

This dinner was one of my favorite dinners in Reno. Im not new to omakase, but I wasn't sure what to expect here. The fish are imported, and the chef took his time to talk about each item. The menu is prepaid due to a problem with last minute no shows. There was a no-show during the time I was there so we had the restaurant to ourselves. The food was excellent. They don't offer substitutions if you don't like something. Luckily for me, they didn't serve octopus. I don't think there is enough time to order something additional if I wanted to. I didn't ask. I had the premium dinner which was 21 items? I definitely had enough food but I usually order more of something I really like at the end as an add-on. I would have liked to order more O-toro! I look forward to another meal here! read more

Great food and great service. We work next-door and go often. The food and service are always consistent.

The food and service were of the highest quality. That being said, I was pretty disappointed. I felt that the selection was unimaginative and could've been more varied and exotic for the price point. I also feel that each serving should've been the standard two pieces of sushi. It would've allowed for my palette to really enjoy and savor the delightfully tasty fish that was presented one bite just wasn't enough. Additionally, the tagline in the header for yelp mentions in a minimalistic setting. That word (minimalistic) should not be used as an excuse to be lazy. The walls were stained, and there were many old nails and pushpins sticking out of the walls. Behind the chef the wall was stained with splashed food that made for a particularly uninviting look. In an area such as Rancharrah I expect ambience and attention to detail to be top notch even more so in an Omakase setting. To be a really top-notch experience I was hoping for Japanese elegance, not minimalistic. I have eaten sushi in New York, San Francisco and Tokyo I was hoping for a little bit of that feeling here in Reno. I was hoping for a Wow, not oh it was good. read more

I love all the Hinoki restaurants, from the poke, to the handroll and their sushi locations, they have fair prices for restaurants in Reno, service is always excellent, and they have clean premises. The owner really takes pride in his establishments to offer what you're looking for in the type of food you've come to look for at each of their respective locations. read more

Love, love, love, everything about this place! Came here for an early dinner with a girlfriend of mine a couple weeks back, and for whatever reason was pleasantly surprised. Love Hinoki off of longley but I've never been a huge fan of poke bowls. This place has all the fixins and then some. You walk in and it's like an upscale chipotle line wise. You come in and pick all the things you want in your bowl. I opted for the shrimp and made my bowl rather spicy with jalapeños and a spicier sauce. Price wise it's rather economical for what all you get in terms of ingredients + serving size! read more

Still absolutely on point with the service, attentiveness, quality and selection of rolls. It was really hard to stop by when they were only open for short hours Wednesdays, but with the new hours and days we will definitely be stopping by more often! We love Hinoki's AYCE spot, and enjoyed the Omakase experience a ton. The temaki bar is a great one between to get access to some higher quality fish and nigiri while also still paying for around AYCE prices. There have been some additional temakis options added since they first opened, and they made the nigiri combo (the best bang for your buck for a genuine Omakase style nigiri sampler I've ever seen) a permanent part of the menu. They usually have a special going on as well. We do wish it was a bit more decorated, or maybe had some nice quiet jazz playing, as it did get a little quiet at times and the blank black walls with the high ceilings were not doing any favors. Otherwise, that has nothing to do with how good the food is. We are looking forward to our next visit! read more

My husband and I treated ourselves to Reno's first and only omakase experience for our wedding anniversary. We've had omakase in other cities, including Tokyo and prefer this style of dining over the mass produced fish typically served in all-you-can-eat joints. Hinoki O did not disappoint. They're open for dinner Friday and Saturday. Reservations only. (Not to confuse with their walk in hand roll bar Tuesday-Thursdays) They have 3 menus you can choose from: - Basic 10-11 items for $100 per person - Standard 15 items for $140 per person (includes wagyu) - and Premium 20 items for $175 per person (includes wagyu and uni) We chose the Standard menu along with the Sake Pairings (3 oz pours of 5 different sakes for $65 per person). We were seated at the bar in front of the head chef Duc and his sous chef, along with another party celebrating a birthday. The bar was clean and minimalistic, and the atmosphere was very intimate. The food was just amazing. You can tell that each piece of nigiri and each dish was well thought out and the experience was executed beautifully for the price. Most of the fish was flown from Japan and so fresh! It reminded us of our time in Tokyo. We regret not splurging on the Premium menu as soon as the party next to us got their uni. We also had cooked dishes: chawanmushi, dumpling, and miso soup. And for dessert: matcha panna cotta. Everything was delicious!! I'm so happy Reno finally has an omakase experience and it was so enjoyable. We cannot wait to go again. read more

Very small selection and just didn't look appealing. I'll also add it's a bit expensive for what they offer.

Been here countless times and it never disappoints. It's on the pricier side but they have great options and the fish seem consistently fresh. read more

Stopped by here for a quick lunch and really enjoyed the Poke Bowls. I got a Poke Bowl with Salmon and Himachi along with too many fixings to list out. I was very happy with their selection of fish, toppings and seasonings that you could combine to make your perfect bowl. Even a couple "premium" toppings were included without an extra fee. With that said it was a pretty pricey bowl of poke ($17) however the really jam packed the bowl with food and it was very tasty so very much worth it. I also got the pot stickers they were tasty but nothing special. The staff making your bowls were very nice and patient through the process and seemed genuinely thankful for our patronage and thanked us for stopping in. The Place itself is very small, but it was cute and clean, however they have more seating outside and it was a beautiful day to we sat outside. Overall I enjoyed the place and will definitely be coming back this summer when I am craving something fresh and yummy. read more

I'm not a picky eater, so I generally order every topping that doesn't cost extra. For $17, the poke bowls here are very filling even with mixed greens as the base. I enjoyed my greens being crisp and fresh at Hinoki. I mixed tuna and salmon together with their creamy habanero and ponzu sauce.. delightful!! It didn't taste/feel heavy, was refreshing, the right amount of kick and flavor, etc. this is probably my new fave go-to sauce combo! read more

Yum! I rarely get poke bowls but I've had a major hankering for one the last few weeks. What a beautiful blue sky sunny day to get one for lunch. Hinoki is the closest place to work so going here was a given and I was happy I did. What a great deal for lunch: +/- $20. They give you a bowl big enough to have room to mix everything and the fish was fresh and ready to just dive in. I'm really satisfied with this meal and the service I received! read more

It's dangerous to have all my go to stores In one convenient shopping area.. I've been craving poke, and of course I had to stop... I wanted it as a side to go with my salmon dinner..

For the price it's a decent size..and enough for two people.. The flavors were good and yes I'd probably order again.. read more
