I thought that trying screaming tuna was a splurge compared to my normal go to spot. The flavors sounded very interesting and unique. I feel catfished. I'll share the picture advertised on their DoorDash account, versus what I received. They don't even look remotely alike. And I get it, it's art right?! Sometimes it just looks a tad different, but this was WAY off. The flavors were bland, it was almost double what I spend at my favorite spot and I've never had a bad experience it. Unfortunately, not worth the hype. I wanted to love it! read more

Stopped by here for dinner while in town for work. The patio dining with the water view is beautiful. We ordered the beef roll and lemon ginger edamame, both were very good except the rice paper wrap was a little spongy. Flavors were good. Prices were good. Portion size was good, as well. Service was also good, our server stopped by many times to check in. Would be a place I check out again. read more

Incredible culinary and sensory overload as we watched Milwaukee's river front skyline change as the sun set. The colors deepened on the water the cloaked the skyscrapers in darkness as the city light came on, all the while enjoying fabulous fresh sushi and excellent alcoholic beverages. Thank you for the memories! 5 stars. read more

Screaming Tuna - The local Edelweiss tourist ship was making its way through the river across from Screaming Tuna as we dined so the bridge went up. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Interior so cute, love the scenery of the buildings, sunset, and river. Service was great, waiter was very friendly and nice. We got the crispy tuna appetizer that seemed the most recommended. I enjoyed it. Then we got the queen of hearts and Spider-Man roll. Something was off about the Spider-Man, as the soft shell crab seemed burnt lowkey. Not very much crab at all..... that kinda threw off the whole Roll for me. Queen of hearts was pretty good, bigger and had more flavor. Very nice spot but wouldn't rank their sushi the best. read more

After a show at the Marcus Center we were feeling like a little late, light dinner would hit the spot. Sushi calls, Screaming Tuna to the rescue! Friday night after Thanksgiving is apparently the time to visit without a reservation. We stopped by and were seated immediately it was very quiet and frankly, lovely! We ordered drinks, chipotle won tons for an appetizer and each order a specially roll. Service was quick and efficient. We had a great window view of the city, and left feeling full and happy. Always a great visit here! read more

August 2025: I went to Screaming Tuna on a Monday evening in August with two other girls. We were seated outside right away with no reservation and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The view from our table was a beautiful cityscape on the water! We first ordered drinks, which we enjoyed. I had the Flirt Juice- it was refreshing and perfect for a summer night! Fruity and flavorful. For an appetizer, we shared the fresh veggie spring rolls. The spring rolls were good but we didn't care for the sauce they were served with. I typically like the sauce a little sweeter. I also ordered the seaweed salad, that was good. For dinner, we each ordered two rolls. I ordered the Rising Sun roll and the Shrimp Tempura. I thought both of my rolls were okay- somewhat bland and fishy tasting. My two friends also said their rolls were fishy and they didn't finish theirs. Our bill for the three of us came out to $160 before tip. Overall, great service and a beautiful summer night view, but not-so-great sushi and an expensive bill for what we ordered (my opinion). read more

I really enjoyed visiting screaming tuna for my birthday this year. I started by ordering a lychee martini-- very good. The sushi rolls were a consistent size, rolled correctly, and the ratios were very balanced. The sashimi was decent--not the best I've had, but pretty good. I thoroughly enjoyed the appetizers we ordered. We ordered the tuna crispy rice, the crab chipotle wontons, the beef spring rolls, and the gyoza. All very tasty. The miso soup was nice as well. I will say, I was offered two mochi for my birthday-- the green tea flavor was nice. The red bean flavor was crumbly and inedible. I actually spit it out. That being said, I'd be glad to come back for sushi and apps. Pretty solid. read more

For Midwest sushi the food was good it just wasn't a memorable meal like we were hoping. I did enjoy that there were a handful of rolls with different fruits and the size of the sushi was perfect where you could actually eat it in one bite without it being too much. Our waitress was nice and the restaurant was easy to locate. If you're looking like a sushi fix like we were this place will scratch that itch I'm just not confident we would go back. read more

Screaming Tuna is a cute sushi spot! It was a little too cold to sit out but the indoor seating was still nice with the river view. We got two apps and a few rolls.

gorgeous view on a beautiful day to sit out on the patio facing the water!!!!! service was a bit on the slower side however. ranking of food: 1. matcha tres leche cake: so. good. and light and airy. obsessed 2. miso braised short ribs: short ribs very good, surprisingly enjoyed the japanese sweet potato even though i'm anti sweet potato. vegetables could've used a bit of a sauce drizzle from the short ribs and that would've perfected the dish. short ribs were really tender 3. crab chipotle wontons: wish this was crispier but the plum sauce and chipotle pepper complimented it well. still good 4. firecracker roll: feel like this could've impressed me more but it didn't 5. garlic roll: didn't even taste the garlic tbh big disappointment overall wasn't really impressed by the sushi rolls and have definitely had better elsewhere. but the view was gorgeous and i loved all the dessert options read more

Everything is always amazing here and the staff are always so kind. I have to yet to try something and not like it!

This place was a lot of fun. It is right next to the water so the views are pretty cool from any spot within the restaurant. We got there right before the dinner rush on a Saturday evening and we're able to sit at the bar where we met Lizzie who was an amazing bartender. I had their alchemist sour which was a whiskey based drink, and my girlfriend had the pine after the hunt which was a tequila based drink. We got the edamame to start with the chili garlic on it and it had good flavor and a nice kick to it. Then we ordered the sushi for two. Our favorite nigiri's were the salmon, tuna, and yellowtail. The rolls were also really tasty as well. Excited to come back during the summer when the patio is open. read more

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this place so I decided to give it a try as I was craving sushi that day. Place is fancy, clean and upscale with it being by the river. I'm a fan of the atmosphere. A great place to host dinners. We ordered some Vietnamese spring rolls and sushi, but unfortunately they were not up to par, especially with the price. The spring rolls were good, they packed it real good in there. The rice in the sushi was almost too soft for it, it had a slight foul smell. I can't remember what exactly we ordered, but it was 3 different rolls and the one with chicken was the only enjoyable. Maybe I expected a lot from this place- especially when I'm craving sushi. But I would still come again to try something else and hopefully have a better experience. The service was excellent though! read more

If you're a sushi lover, Screaming Tuna in Milwaukee's Third Ward is a must-visit spot! Nestled right on the river, the ambiance alone makes it a fantastic experience, and the food takes it to the next level. We started with appetizers, trying the Crab Chipotle Wontons and Gyoza--both were incredible! For our main courses, we ordered the Black Angus Shroom Boom (a delightful surprise!) and the Screaming Tuna Signature Roll, which was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. The cocktails were also a highlight; the Pine After the Hunter was a standout, perfectly balancing flavors and pairing well with our meal. By the time we left, the whole restaurant was packed, which speaks to its popularity and quality. Amazing food, great drinks, and lively atmosphere--highly recommend for sushi enthusiasts and anyone looking for a great dining experience on the river! read more

Food service location all great really like this place. Good vegan options. Parking is easy too.

1st time and I loved it. Vibes are on point. Sat outside, parking wasn't bad but you'll probably have to find street parking. There is parking right in front but not a ton of spots. First off, non sushi review. - the miso short ribs were to die for. One of the best short rib dishes in the area. The mash potatoes it sits on are so buttery. Yum. On sushi lover will enjoy. - sushi for six is plenty especially if you start with apps. - the appetizer, crispy spicy tuna is a must. So good. I've heard they have half off sushi on Sundays. Going back as it satisfied my sushi craving. read more

What a beautiful location! I stopped here on a late Sunday evening to grab dinner. The breeze from the was majestic, paired with the full moon floating in the sky. I decided to grab a high table by the garage door, close to the bar. The menu had a huge selection of sushi. I ordered their special "screaming tuna roll" and a black pepper tuna roll. The rolls were huge! I am not a fan of two-bite sushi. I can honestly say that this is your typical Americanized sushi roll, the type that doesn't taste as good as it looks. No offense -- there's a market for this genre of sushi. The rolls weren't very flavorful, I was quite disappointed. Other than the food, the customer service was fantastic. The folks here are kind and attentive. That was the best part about the meal. read more

Seriously amazing dinner! Screaming tuna is one of my favorite restaurants in Milwaukee and never let me down. Me and my friend split the spicy garlic edamame (not pictured) and it is one of my favorite appetizers! Super fresh and has the perfect kick! I opted for the Kennedy cocktail and it was delicious! Strawberry puree, ginger beer, lime and basil. So simple but so refreshing. My usual sushi order is a spicy tuna but decided to be adventurous and go for the spicy rock crab and holy crap- new favorite roll! The crab was so fresh and a little sweet and had the perfect texture! Such a simple roll but so flavorful. This place is perfect for any occasion and is honestly pretty affordable. Our server was sweet and the atmosphere is so chill. 10/10!! read more

Screaming Tuna - Sushi Bars Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

We've been here a couple times when sushi is calling to us! If going on a Friday or Saturday afternoon/night, definitely recommend a reservation, otherwise most of the time they are pretty accommodating! We try to sit outside when possible for great views of the Milwaukee skyline and river-watching. Our usual is miso soup, a couple rolls of sushi, and a cocktail or two. This last visit we enjoyed a bottle of wine instead of the cocktails. The miso soup doesn't have a whole lot of miso flavor in comparison to other area restaurants, but still good and filled with lots of wakame and mushrooms. We also enjoyed a spicy tuna roll, pepper salmon roll, screaming tuna signature, and a black angus shroom boom roll. All so good! We will be back again! read more

I've been looking forward to trying Screaming Tuna for years. Sadly I was disappointed in my experience. The venue is nice and clean. The waitress was very nice. The appetizers were amazing and the only food we enjoyed. We ordered the Crab Chipotle Wontons which had awesome flavor. The only thing is they were not hot. If I said lukewarm that would even be generous. My favorite app was the Crispy Spicy Tuna. The sweet chili sauce was tasty but very strong and overpowering of any other flavor. I would order both apps again, if I ever return. Now to the sushi... just so disappointing. The salmon nigiri did not taste fresh at all. Would not recommend. The Screaming Tuna Signature roll was ok but a little on the fishy side. But on to the weirdest roll of my life... the Lava Monster. Absolutely horrible. The only taste was smoke. The restrooms are outside the restaurant in an empty hall. read more

First off, the Screaming Tuna has a great location right off the river. We went on a Saturday night during peak dinnertime so we called in advance for a reservation but there was a good amount of seating available regardless. Service was great, the hostess was kind and our waiter was attentive. Drinks were okay, not anything I would want to order again. The Usagi-Rita tasted like spicy carrot juice and the Lychee Princess had the aftertaste of cough syrup. The sushi was okay, the primary highlight being the Uni. Everything was at the same quality level of any other AYCE sushi place, which is disappointing considering the meal ran about $100 total before tip. The appetizers were also average. The Wontons only tasted of cream cheese and the Crispy Tuna was drowned in the sweet chili sauce. The only highlight for the apps was the crispy rice under the tuna. My sentiment overall is similar to a lot of other reviews: Location and staff were great, the food and drinks were average at best. read more

More Third Ward than Walker's Point, Screaming Tuna caters to the "fun" demographic who enjoy a good time. It is not a "foodie," destination, but some of the items on the menu are good. My Gyoza, while not authentic, were delicious. The Screaming Tuna signature roll was quite tasty. Other items on the menu were hit and miss. We sat at the bar, and TJ took great care of us. He's quite entrepreneurial and is intent on making his patrons happy. With its setting on the river, that outdoor patio must be hopping in warm weather. We walked over on a very chilly May evening. With a group of friends, Screaming Tuna would be a fantastic place to wile away a late afternoon in summer. It's a party waiting to happen. read more

We didn't make a reservations so we had to just sit wherever. The tempura wasn't the best. Shrimp was small, some of the veggies was under cooked. Wasn't a fan of green & red peppers tempura. Wouldn't order it again. Gyoza was good. Crab wonton, sauce was good but I didn't like how it was already on the wontons. By the time we ate it, the bottom was soggy. Not a fan. Some of the Nigiri was not fresh. We're people who don't like jalapenos, mangoes, lettuce, asparagus etc... just extra stuff in our rolls. So we wasn't a fan of the Lava Monster because of the jalapenos. It was over powering, took one bite and tossed the rest away. Overall, it was Ok. I've had better. And this was our second time eating here. We wanted to give it another try. read more
