By far my favorite sushi restaurant in Lincoln. The place is always nice, I've never had to wait, and the service is perfect every time. Normally I manage to get the same server every time I go (Diana), and she's always been quick to take care of us when we sit down, and knows exactly when to come around and check up on us. I'm not a sushi expert. I probably couldn't tell you the difference between good sushi and great sushi, but I still love it. What I can say is that Hiro has a lot of great rolls that present a good combination of flavors and textures that one would expect from a great restaurant. Most importantly, for me, is the amount of fish you get in each piece of sushi, and Hiro won't disappoint like some places I've been. You can tell it's in there, but it doesn't over power the entire roll. That creates a good value for your sushi that can be hard to find. Of course in Nebraska you don't expect sushi to be cheap, and if it is you probably don't want to eat it, but Hiro won't break the bank. Even when it's not happy hour I don't have a problem going there and enjoying a couple rolls and a beer. The bottom line: If you want good sushi at a good price in a great location, Hiro is the place to go. Also, it's open late so it's a great place to end your night after having a few drinks. read more

I ordered a White Zin. It was warm and tasted watered down. It was most likely very flat. Sushi also tasted very fishy. We accidentally spilled the soy sauce and couldn't find anyone to help wipe it up. It ended up making the table really sticky. Just a bad experience all around. read more

Honestly the most dissatisfied I've ever been at a restaurant. Service was god awful, it took an hour for our sushi to come out, and we only ordered 4 rolls and an entree. The entree was piping hot while the sushi tasted like it had been sitting around for a long while. The sushi wasn't even that good, and for the price I had to pay, it was definitely not worth it. Don't go here. Blue is way better and wayyyyyy cheaper. Smh Hiro, smh ‍ Never again. read more

Had our first experience on New Years Eve with an 8 o'clock reservation. It was busy as expected but we were seated within 10 minutes which was nice as we had time to test the bar. The cocktails were very well executed with fresh natural herbs and top shelf liquor. The layout of the restaurant is open plan and minimal as most Japanese restaurants are. It's very easy on the eyes and comfortable. My wife and I ordered the Szechuan Shrimp and Scollops separately. Both dishes were fantastic, the seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection. It was warming and spicy but yet still sweet, tasted like real Szechuan cooking should. The rice was cooked well and just slightly sticky. The service was very polite and efficient, not overbearing and overattentive. Really helped us start the celebrations off in the right mode. Even if your not into Sushi there's plenty of cooked options from standard American Chinese food such as Mongolian Beef, But the seafood is where it's at, the Chilean Sea Bass looks lovely. We will be back and are recommending the place to all our friends. Thanks again Hiro! read more

I had a very bad experience and will never go to your south Resturant or any of Of your Resturant's again. It took ten mins to get a drink. And the only person who talked to me was the female bartender. so I will never go back to the restaurant again.. I highly suggest that you tell your staff to never do that again and re-train them again on how to give better service. read more

After arriving from San Francisco, I wondered about Midwest sushi. This is better than any of my local joints. World class as others have said. read more

Horrible service & Mark the manager was such a jerk it was busy so we expected some delays but it took 45 mins for us to get our drinks which I had to go to the bar myself to get them. So we talked to the manger Mark & he basically said you still got your drinks so get over it no apology no offer to comp the drinks so the waitress said I'll take the drinks off & she never did. It took forever for the food we asked for the bill early since things were taking so long bc we had a concert to go to & it took 30 mins to get it & forever to get our cards back we were there for 2 hours just waiting around had to rush to finish our food & our drink bc we didn't want to be late. I'm normally very understanding & hate complaining at restaurants but what really made it so bad was Mark the managers response we couldn't believe it horrible customer service! read more

My wife absolutely loves sushi and enjoyed dining at Hiro 88. I hate sushi and reluctantly went hoping for something cooked or at least some decent soup. Not only do they have a great Chinese food selection is was very tasty! Finally a great place where my wife and I are very happy! read more

Easily the best sushi in lincoln, I have only had better once, but that was on the coast. I also think that during their happy hour, the prices are equal to or better than any place in town. If you are a fan of sushi, you owe it to yourself to check it out. read more

Went to the new location! Awesome food, our server Jane was great. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and super fast! Definitely going back! read more

My husband and I always have a great experience dining at this location! The bartender Jeff is really nice and always friendly!

Service was good, food was decent, but I was not blown away. Good selection of sake, wine and beer. We tried an unfiltered variety of cold sake for $14, which yielded 5 shots. The salad dressing was bland -- was hoping for more ginger and some zing. The calamari was not bad. The small sushi plate came with 12 pieces and included salmon, tuna, yellowtail and shrimp, plus california roll and spicy tuna roll, $27. It's a little pricey, but you're paying for the location and the decor. Dinner for three came to $105 before tip. Still waiting for one of our local sushi joints to step it up and be impressive. read more

My husband and I ate here for a friday lunch. There was only one other customer when we arrived. With that being said the hostess took us to the back room where we had an awesome view of the construction men working on the building. Really? This is where I really hope Lincoln can grow, as the restaurant scene in Lincoln grows, restaurant owners and managers are going to have to grow too. That means hiring knowledgeable staff who are flexible and professional. Yes you may have a server assigned to this area but until the main dining room is full, the server should be flexible, going where the guests want to sit. The third table that arrived was seated in the only spot in the restaurant that had glaring sun streaming through the window. Again, a little forethought on the part of the hostess can go a long way. We ordered two rolls. Highly recommend the Wasabi Stinger. Both rolls were big and tasty. The service was quick. Sushi and service is definitely better than Dozo. Loved the decorations and imagine on a crowded weekend it will have a fun vibe to it. This place definitely has potential. With only four or five reviews so far and almost alll of them mentioning customer service I hope management reads these and tries to get on top of their game. Customer's first, always. That being said, we plan on returning soon. read more

Went to Hiro after Chesney concert with 6 people at 11;45, said they just had last call but could get us one round. After sitting down and marking up the sushi menu, found out they wouldn't. Been to this place in May with horrible service then also. Can't recommend the one in Lincoln, always had a good experience in Omaha. read more

Jeff was awesome! He took great care of us and made sure everything was 100% accurate. He is very personable, friendly and customer service oriented. Make sure you eat at the bar and ask for Jeff! read more

Visiting from California, I'm not sure what I expected from sushi served in a completely land-locked state.....but apparently they think they're pretty damn special based on what they charge for what you get. Pretty much every roll is over $10...which here in Cali gets you a good size roll that pretty much can fill up an average man. At Hiro, $10-$13 gets you about 6 small pieces with more rice than fish. I had 3 rolls, was charged almost $40 and was STILL hungry afterwards. Thank God my company was paying for it! It must impress the locals because the place was pretty much full from 5pm until 11pm each of the 3 nights I was here. Lots of well dressed, good looking young folks chatting away over crappy sushi..clearly ignorance is bliss here. If they've never seen or tasted good sushi, they assume it's the bomb when it's actually extremely meh. This review isn't going to convince anyone locally to avoid the place since I'm sure they all chatter about how great it is....BUT...if you're travelling from out of town...a town where good sushi exists everywhere....and if you're paying your own way....go find a good steak which is what the midwest is known for. read more

My husband and I came here late in the evening a few days ago. We ordered the hot and sour soup, pot stickers, and three sushi rolls. Everything was excellent. The hot and sour soup had a different kind of spice than many places use, and the difference was very pleasant. The pot stickers were extremely flavorful! The rolls were also amazing and the fish tasted very fresh. This is definitely a welcome addition to Lincoln's sushi scene, as it is difficult to find a well-done gourmet roll that still tastes like sushi. Hiro 88 does that beautifully. Also, our server was very attentive and friendly. I can't speak too much to the price because we ate during reverse happy hour, Overall, a great experience and we plan to come here many more times. read more

First if all it's the best service in the Haymarket. Not even close. By far the best sushi in town as well. The hot food is really good too. Plus they have some of the best beer selection. read more

Best restaurant in town. Great service. Jeff was great as our server, always there when you needed him, never annoying you when you didn't!

Nothing bad I can say about this chain of restaurants! I frequent this one and the ones in Omaha. I always get the same quality no matter what location! And they have the best HAPPY HOUR a girl could ask for! You must try the Husker Roll and the Las Vegas roll! Yummy! read more

We enjoyed lunch today at Hiro 88 in the Haymarket. Was it the food? YES! The bento box is a great deal. Many options to choose from and who doesn't like a combo of spicy tuna roll and teriyaki chicken? Was it the atmosphere? YES! Contemporary and clean focusing on the food and not overly designed decor. Was it the service? YES! Our server Jeff was well informed about the menu and placed our order perfectly. His good looks and charming personality made Jeff our "hero of hiro". The other staff including the hostess, Manager Mark(?) and lovely woman that refilled our water glasses makes us excited to return again soon. read more

Fabulous bento box, sushi rolls, great professional service. Lovely atmosphere and interior design.

Best sushi around, good happy hour prices and good service. Would recommend to anyone.

Sushi in Lincoln? Yep, really a decent spot. Check out late night happy hour, great specials. (saki bomb $7!!!) really quality.

I'd better post a review for the downtown location also. Bland and poor grade food at an overrated place. For a better product try Blue Sushi (far superior) down the street... or even the freezer aisle your local grocery store. read more

It was good. I have had better but is not grocery store sushi by no means. The Happy hour deals are good but very limiting. However you can order off the main menu which has a nice selection. The happy hour is from 3:00-6:30 pm. read more

A friend and I were down in the Haymarket/Railyard, trying dishes at several newer restaurants over the course of the night. This ended up being one of the entree rounds. We ordered a Columbia River roll and a West Coast roll. They were good, and I did like the West Coast roll, but with two other sushi places in the Haymarket that I often frequent, I just wasn't super impressed. The rolls were around $11 each, and I ended up deciding that I prefer Blue or Dozo. Service was okay. My water wasn't refilled until right before I left. I do like the atmosphere - we were in the main room, and could see out into the Railyard. read more

Besides the rude host staff, the sushi is always amazing and the owner is sure to make you feel welcome. The restaurant would receive a 5 star rating if the front host staff was more professional and welcoming to their patrons. I've not had a pleasant encounter with the host in the many numerous visits I've had here with family and friends. At least their attitudes don't mean bad food or service beyond the front staff. read more

Sushi was amazing! Service was excellent! Priced reasonably. Definitely coming back soon, and often.

Awesome food and great service. Benton the bartender taught me about wooks! He has to be a wookabe, which is a wanna be wook.

The best sushi restaurant in town. The food was delicious and the service was good. The sashimi was fresh and delious. And the environment is wonderful, I like the decoration very much. read more

The best happy hour. Entrees are great and their sushi is fresh. Awesome atmosphere for a date or as a group.

Went with some friends on a Thursday night for reverse happy hour. It was nice they had so many options to choose from. We got the salmon cream cheese roll, avocado cucumber roll, yellowtail, and their specialty crunch roll. The rolls were good but not amazing, my husband wished their sauces were more...interesting or there was more of it. Not bad sushi, a solid 3 stars- we would try it again. read more

Fabulous, large menu! Awesome cocktails! Fun location! You can get reservations on OpenTable. Huge menu with may options for every type of person in your party. Sushi lover or not. Must order Hiro 88 roll and the Naked California roll. read more

By far the best sushi joint in Lincoln! They are so professional and are kind every time I've been there! They sushi is always so tasty! I recommend Hiro's Crunch and the sushi with asparagus in it...so yummy! Another cool touch is the boats that you get if you order enough sushi. Highly recommend for you sushi fanatics read more

Went here twice and the food was okay the first time, then horrible the second. The sushi was clearly made before, frozen, and then heated in the microwaved. Service was good, which made up for the awful food, but I would not recommend this Hiro location to anyone. The one in Omaha puts this restaurant to shame. read more

Had dinner here on a Monday night and it was very busy. Nice decor and ambiance... perfect for a date night or girls night out. For the price range the food was just average. I had the miso seared sea bass. The waitress forgot my salad. When I let the manager know, he graciously offered dessert instead. However, he looked at me kind of funny when I asked if I could see the dessert menu. He said "we usually just bring the chocolate cake"?! Ummm no. Lol Other than the missing salad weird dessert incident, service was lacking in other ways-- refills on water took a while, they didn't bring silverware with the entree, and they didn't split the check the way we asked. I would go again just for the atmosphere... since the modern upscale feel is harder to find around here. read more

The food here is always pretty good. I usually get the bento box or sushi. The atmosphere is pleasant and comfortable with a nice view of the Railyard. I do think the prices are a bit high for the amount of food. read more

A friend recommended we eat here so we decided to give it a try. We don't eat seafood so this was a bit out of our comfort zone. Our server went threw the items on the menu and recommended several vegetarian items and items with no seafood. This restaurant has something for everyone. Don't be afraid to try it if you are not a seafood lover. The food was great! Next time we are back in town we will come here! read more

Very nice place . Good food with nice ambience also staff are really cool and helpful. I am just loving it. Surely recommend this place.
