HAPPY HOUR 9pm-12am: Enough said. More than reasonable prices from naked sushi to the "Americanized tempura rolls"...both that I love & consider healthy simply for the reason the duo's fall beneath the inscription of Sushi! Edamame is amazing!!! Knowingly had it for the first time unlike mistaking it for a pea. Definitely a mo f'n let down if expecting sweet veggies! However when served correctly, it has an intense, unexplainable, refreshing taste. (Not Like Sushi Japan where they come out cold.) Sake is always amazing! Vegas roll, delicious! Without a doubt, fun romantic first date place! read more

See all

This was the best surprise restaurant of our weekend in Omaha! The sushi was awesome. You get a lot for your money. The Yin Chicken and the fried rice with Shrimp are MUST haves. We decided it was one of our favorite meals yet! Melanie, our server was the best! Knew the menu well and gave us great service. read more

They charge an extra 3.5% on top of the total ticket cost if paying electronically in order to not raise prices, but won't accept check payment. Not sure that makes any sense. It's still the same thing as raising the price. read more

i went to hiro 88 on friday with my daughter and family for happy hour, enjoyed the time spent with my family. i decided to bring my husband today for reverse happy hour. we basically ordered the same food that i had on friday. our waiter over charged us for everything and lied about why we were being charged a different price!! i complained to the manager and his explanation for the price discrepancy was.. basically it depends on what waitress or waiter you get!! i guess the waitress we had on friday was "being kind". and our waiter today was not!! that is not okay!! we did pay for our meal but no tip for you, you price gouging greedy waiter!! it is sad because had you been honest you would have gotten a good tip!! shame on you and your manager for trying to cover for your greediness!! p.s. i only gave a star because that is the only way i could post this review!! signed, very dissatisfied customer!! read more

Sushi and More Stopped in after a walk in the 10-13th street area. It's hard to see inside from the outside, but once inside, it's got a nice atmosphere. I ordered the Teriyaki steak, with the salad. Both were good, and tasty. I also had their Yellowtail Tuna sushi, which had good presentation, and as always appreciated, good Wasabi. The waiter knew more Japanese than I did, and I had a good time. It was a Wednesday night, so the place wasn't too packed. All in all, it was enjoyable, and the price wasn't too high for the order. read more

Looking for a way to satisfy my sushi fix in Omaha, Hiro 88 might be one way to do it. Two words of advice up front......."Happy Hour" Hiro 88 has a variety of difference Happy Hours throughout the week. Get your sushi fix during one of them and save 20-40 % on the rolls and such. Sunday is all day Happy Hour. If I hadn't gone during this time, my bill would have probably been over $100.00......told you I needed a fix. Anyhow, the inside of Hiro 88 is trendy, all black and crome. Music in the background grated on my nerves only once....some type of "punk/scream" which was not conducive to encouraging my appetite, but ended up being only one song at the beginning of my experience....everything went okay after that. Sat at the bar. Service was fairly attentive and constantly checked in on me and refilled my drink without asking. Meal: Miso Soup: Nice way to start the meal. Standard flavor. Sushi: Spicy 2 in 1 Roll: spicy salmon; outside: spicy tuna, tempura crisp (Comment: good taste, would eat again) Unagi Roll: freshwater eel, cucumber, eel sauce (Comment: okay, but had better) Spider Roll:fried soft shell crab, avocado, cucumber, masago (Comment: also okay) Yellowtail Nigiri: Comment: did not like, taste was not what I was accustomed to. All other Nigiri I had below was good Smoked Salmon Nigiri Smelt Roe Nigiri Shrimp Nigiri: Sweet Shrimp: Comment: biggest surprise. This is deep fried shrimp heads....yes...that's what I said and they were tasty. Quite good, crunchy, slightly sweet...just have to get by that you are heading the heads. Mackerel Nigiri: So, overall a pretty decent experience. I would go back, but since I am really only there for the sushi, want to make sure I go during Happy Hour. read more

When I was seated at 5:30 pm at a nice table inside a more than half-full dining area, I was delighted to be presented with menus and water almost immediately. Unfortunately, I was not familiar with their ordering policy. A well-established convention of waiting for a server to take our order (e.g. drinks, food, etc.) did not appear to be the correct procedure. After 20 minutes, water glasses were refilled, but no server. On the table was a QR-code for digital ordering. Aha! Apparently, ordering is like the old King's Food Hosts with a phone at every table. I was quite intrigued, except that I did not allow the app to know my location, and hence, caused it to crash. (Seemingly it was designed by a pimply wannabe instead of a mobile developer.) After another 20 minutes, our water glasses were refilled and still no server. As I fought back tears filled with the torment of hunger, I was forced to admit that 40 minutes was too long to attempt to purchase a good meal, and we left. The water was terrific. Hence, one star. read more

Worst service I ever experienced! Had a reservation, arrive on time and I'm seated at a table that had yet to be whipped down. Before I can say anything the hostess had already disappeared. I return to the hostess stand and get reseated as another table is seated next to me. Within a minute of sitting down that table is asked for their drink order but I'm ignored I assume because another waiter is to serve me. Five minutes no one comes by... at ten minutes a waitress comes over and says she has to run a ticket for another table and will be right with me.... Five minutes.... Ten minutes.... No one. It is at this point I leave. I will NEVER be back! read more

Hiro 88 is always good food but on 2/5/21 I went to the downtown Omaha location with some girlfriend's and it was a great experience! Melanie D took her time and made sure we knew the drinks and what would pair with our orders. She made some suggestions that ended up changing my mind on some sushi ingredients for the better! I can't explain how amazing it was to have such an amazing server. read more

Best fried rice in town! Highly recommend! Staff are so friendly!! My son loves to get sushi from here

In town for business and decided to try this Hiro 88 08/06/18 around 2pm. Delicious sushi, nice interior, and my server Patty was amazing and lovely. Definitely coming here again. I liked it much better than that Blue Sushi place nearby I tried the day before. read more

Really excellent food, and great service! I came in expecting nothing, and came out pleasantly surprised! Sweet potato roll, Philly roll, 2 pan-asian entrees. . .We did wait a while for our sushi (but not Chinese) but all the flavors were memorable, and way above average. read more

Bad service. Server did not bring chopsticks, water, plates or anything until after we got our food. My friend had to get up and grab the pitcher herself to fill up our waters.My friends and I came and we are 20 years old. We are apart of the vip membership at Hiro 88. The server had no idea what we were talking about and got the manager. The manager talked to us like we were stupid. HIRO ON MAPLE IS SUPERIOR read more

One of my fav sushi places ever (...I mean even outside of Omaha!) sushi is well made, staff is great, service is quick and yet not rushed! Great for a fun lunch or a date night! Walkable to bars, etc. in old market. Great place to start an evening before going out!! read more

the restaurant parking isn't the best but what can you expect from a place in the middle of downtown. servers are always nice and have never let me down. they have QR codes to scan for menus and offer a physical drink menu. i get the lo mein with chicken and shrimp and ask them to make it spicy and it is always super delicious. the portions are pretty big i never finish my whole plate. very nice place to bring your significant other or family. read more

worst place ever. all the wait staff is stuck up & rude and gave us dirty silverware and plates, got our orders wrong, my friends food had a fly in it? gross. disgusting. never go here. read more

Whatever you do beware of ordering to go dishes. Ordered myself some lettuce wraps, which I've had plenty of times eating in at the restaurant, only to get home and find myself with the saddest, most disappointing, awful excuse for food. The lettuce was witty and gross plus there was about 3 tiny pieces of it that I couldn't even use to put the filling in bc they were so small. The chicken was low volume and did not include any of the usual sauces. Sad sad excuse. Go to Blue around the corner, much better. read more

This place has some of the best service downtown. Food is good and so are the happy hours! The employees actually care about giving you a good experience. read more

If I could leave less than one star I would. We arrived prior to pick up time and were prepared to wait in our car but it was already bagged up and ready. They forgot one of our tiny seven rolls. Our Sushi was extremely warm, contained NO wasabi or Ginger and ZERO SAUCE that should have been on top of the rolls. We were extremely disappointed for the $97 we spent and still hungry after consuming the very tiny rolls. We tried Hiro88 because our regular Sushi restaurant was closed due to COVID19 as was our 'back up' Sushi restaurant and we just wanted good Sushi. This was not good or filling .... we made dinner after eating our Sushi. We will never be back. read more

I had dinner here on a winter night with friends. We arrived a few hours before close and things moved pretty slow. I really liked the ambiance of modern Japanese decor and the huge Buddha. A nice place for a group or date. I ordered edamame, Brussels sprouts and a cucumber and avocado roll. All food was good. The spicy Brussels didn't quite have the kick I was hoping for. I also felt rushed to leave after finishing our meal. read more

Sunday is where it's at with a spicy bloody mary! Man was that good! Pair that with a large sashimi plate and three rolls and you're definitely on the right track! This was my first raw fish experience in Omaha and I will definitely come back for friends for more! The spice is right! Not stingy on Sriracha and is in a direct tie with another favorite, Sushi Japan in town. Happy Hour and Happy Belly is right! If curious for something different you must try Salt next door! Hidden gem for food lovers with a craving for well mixed soul drinks (circa soul food). Hint: The water guys/gals are champs with much needed Sunday water! read more

The Hiro 88 restaurants in Omaha are my favorite Sushi places. The downtown location being my ultimate favorite. We come here about once or twice a month and the quality of the sashimi and rolls are surprisingly consistent (compared to other sushi joints). The staff is very accommodating and seems well-versed in their offerings. Bottom Line: Whenever we feel like sushi, we head to Hiro 88. read more

Ok so I went here with 3 other people and we got there at around 7:00. We had a reservation so we didn't have to wait for a table. But... we had to wait OVER AN HOUR for our food! A WHOLE. ENTIRE. HOUR. Fortunately my stomach was very empty by the time our food got there so I ate a lot. The food was fine. But I'd rather have just eaten at Panda Express. read more

Happy Hour rocks! After 10pm on Fri/Sat and all day Sunday

I wish I could give Hiro a ZERO! I dont know if they're under new management or not because the quality of the fare here is comparable to dog food- seriously. I've been coming to Hiro 88 since 2008 and over the last few years it's gone down hill. I usually dont write reviews, but this would've been the 2nd time in the last 6 mos I have wasted my money here. Dont waste your time here you'll be upset if you do. read more

The ice machine definitely has mold in it. I've worked serving jobs and have seen it plenty of times and can identify it by the taste. I compared two glasses of water, one with ice and one without and the quality was very noticeable between the two. Have been sitting for over 20 minutes and haven't been able to order. There is one server working who has 5 tables and he has completely ignored my table. The spicy brussel sprouts are not spicy and are undercooked. Sent them back and they came out perfect over all the meals were fine and presentation was Ohk read more

Our first time at Hiro 88 and it happened to be "reverse happy hour"! Which by the way, it lasts all day. It was a lot of food for a great price. We had the cucumber sake-tini to drink and I will definitely be going back for that. Unfortunately, that drink wasn't on the happy hour menu but it was so good, it was worth every dollar. I wish I remembered our servers name but she was very efficient, and never left a dirty plate on our table. When the sushi came out, it was missing a few garnishes that would have made the sushi go from mediocre to amazing and our server caught that right away (before we said anything) and took care of it for us. This place is a must try if you're a fan of sushi, sake and everything chopsticks. By the way, we also ordered Thai curry chicken dish to go, wasn't the best I've had so maybe pass on that. This place specializes in sushi, sashimi, etc so that's why this review is still very pro-Hiro 88! read more

Fantastic host, I believe he was management. We were sat right away and shown the menu, given an explanation of happy hour specials and told our waiter, Terrance would be with us soon. Terrance was the best waiter we have ever had in our lives. Maybe it's the Conundrum wine he sold me on but he was relatable, considerate, thoughtful and funny. We are a couple just passing through, but you guys need to give this guy a raise because he happily convinced us on our orders and earned your business more money. Thanks for an aMaZing night Terrance! The sushi was incredible too, outshined by your staff though! read more

I love Hiro 88, specifically the Jackson street location. Have been going here for the longest time, and always served with excellent service and food. Really recommend the sushi rolls, all of which are delicious. Also, great entrees. Mongolian beef, lo mein, and sesame chicken are great choices. Love this place! read more

Hiro 88 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I called in an order and asked the hostess to specifically pick 9 rolls that are under $10 that have no cream cheese and aren't deep fried. I picked up the order and she had two $16 rolls, two $14 rolls, one $11 roll and then a few that were under $10. One order had cream cheese. I let it slide when I picked the order up. This sushi is the worst sushi quality I've ever had. Tasted like rubber. I will never go here again. Teach your employees how to listen. Hi-Vee sushi is even better than this place. Sad. Go to Blue sushi for decent quality sushi. Go to Yoshitomo for top notch quality. This place is more expensive than Yoshitomo and tastes like gas station sushi. read more

Used to be a good restaurant with fair prices but now is dirty and feels cheap. Waited 1hr and 30 mins on my last visit for 2 small sushi rolls. Nothing was done to make up for this either. Was contemplating walking out because I thought the server had completely forgotten about our table. read more

Takes the cake for the BEST SUSHI restaurant! I've had sushi around the country and hiro 88 is mouthwateringly delicious every. single. time.! Very luxurious place! The staff is funny and relatable! Sushi is high quality and so good! will practically having you begging for one more roll! 10/10 my fav happy hour is an AMAZING deal! its stupid how affordable it is! LOVE IT! Try the husker roll, you'll thank me later! read more

Can't be beat. Reverse happy hour is awesome. Awesome drink specials. Great service. Fabulous sushi. Must try. Beautiful Ambiance

Melanie has always giving above and beyond great service!! She has even given better service than management themselves! Literally the reason we come back because we genuinely appreciate her work ethic and customer service! Thank you for making hiro in downtown Omaha an enjoyable place to go! read more

My lunch experience was horrible at your Old Market location on 2/16. 1. Most of my party was seated at 1130, Mike came over and did drinks and asked if we wanted to wait for the rest of our party. Our last member of the party got there at 1140... we didn't see Mike until 12, despite attempts to flag him down. We even went to the front desk to see if they could help us with service.  2. I ordered the 3 bento box: California, spicy California, and avocado cucumber rolls. I am pregnant and cannot have raw sushi... Someone else delivered our food and I didn't hear what they said, but they were gone when I noticed the error. I received a spicy Cali, and 2 tunas. I am pregnant and cannot have raw sushi. I didn't see Mike until we wanted our checks. By that time we had already been there 1.5 hours. I needed to get back to work and didn't have time to wait for new rolls. 3. It took 10 minutes to get our checks. It took another 5 minutes for him to pick up the tickets... and another 10 minutes to get our cards processed. My 1 hour lunch break took 2 hours due to poor service. I still paid for my meal since I didn't have time to make the error known in the restaurant. 4. I wrote a Facebook message describing my experience on 2/16 around 615 and have yet to receive a response... it's been over a week... read more

Love this place. I typically create dinner from the appetizers menu. Tonight it was boneless short ribs, baby Bok Choy, pan fried green beans, pot stickers, steamed rice and smoked salmon. Washed down with a house Pinot. Did I mention I had company? Way too much, not to share. The wait was a bit long and the bar was backed up, but it was a good reminder that sometimes slower is better when sharing good food. read more

We went to Hiro 88 downtown last night with a work group of 20+ and had a great time and the service was fantastic. They were able to seat us in a secluded area which was a plus. We had one server, Melanie, handling our entire group and had no issues. There were no mistakes, she had great suggestions, and all food was served pretty quickly for a group our size. Kudos to the server & Hiro for making our meal before a show at the Orpheum a great experience! read more

My review is based on one spider roll that I ordered to go, so I can't comment on service or atmosphere. When I'm first trying out a new (to me) place, I'll order something easy and boring. So a spider roll, and boy was it boring! The roll wasn't inedible, but that's about as good as I can say. There's a number of other places for sushi I'll be checking out before I order from Hiro again. read more

It was okay. I didn't try the rolls because I could see there was a thick layer of rice, so I stuck with smaller items like a crab salad that first came out with imitation crab. I told the bartender that THAT'S not crab and for a $6 up-charge real crab was brought out which was night and day better. Everything else was so so. Great service, nice atmosphere. Amazing sushi is still hard to find. read more
