Amazing experience. Everything was delicious. Service and timing is on point. Intimate, limited seating with a speakeasy vibe. Loved the quality and elevated flavors of each bite. Added a few extras like the torched wagyu truffle nigiri with bone marrow truffle butter, French toast uni with black garlic maple, and the aburi scallop with uni and caramel yuzu over crispy rice. These were all exceptional, decadent bites, but I would pass on the French toast uni if given another chance -- it was just too sweet for my taste. Loved the uni though! I love Omakases and can't wait to come back! read more

I really enjoyed the food selection here. Everything is incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The dishes have a great balance of flavor and presentation, and you can tell the ingredients are high quality. And the Macha donuts for dessert are to die for. Highly recommend this spot. THE BEST PART: there's free parking on the back. read more

Ooooo sweet sweet Sunset Sushi.. delicious once again. We came for my boos birthday and it was delicious as always. I liked the new location, more like a sushi speakeasy after you enter AlleyCat. Very cool and great service, ambiance, fish quality, good music CHILL vibe. Make your reservations and enjoy! I did street parking in the front, you can use the Park Mobile app or the city meter. $2 per hour for parking in Boca. Valet in Miami would be close to $20 for parking read more

What a great experience! From the start you are created and seated in the lounge side and offered a saki to start your night off. Once seated at the bar be prepared for delightful sushi and fantastic quality. This was our first omakase experience and we truly enjoyed the evening. So many different types of fish and all were yummy! read more

Sunset Sushi - One of my favorites! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Seeking out fresh, authentic, hand crafted omakase experiences has become a passion of mine over the last decade. Sunset Sushi is officially added to the short list of exceptional experiences. By definition, you are submitting to the chefs approach to the meal. What draws me to this format is the opportunity to have a chef introduce themselves via their food in a very intimate setting. The bar only seats 12. Each person eats the same 18 course meal, served by two chefs (6 and 6). The tone is set immediately because the restaurant is located inside a different restaurant, back of the room, almost "speakeasy" style, without the door or pass code. A small curtain is pulled aside, exposing the intimate 12 seat bar setting. Right out of the gate, you feel special, and that goes a long way during a dining experience. Even though they are serving hundreds of customers weekly, you feel like they set the whole thing up for you. I am embarrassed to say we arrived 8 minutes late, our Uber driver took us to their previous location a few miles from the correct spot. We reported the issue to the restaurant and they confirmed they are still having issues removing the old address from maps. Heads up to anyone going to double check the address. The embarrassment of walking in on 10 other people that have already begun an intimate omakase meal was quickly removed by their amazing staff. They quickly made us comfortable, took a saki order, and within a couple minutes has us caught up to the 2nd course with the group. As I've shared, for me, the best part of the omakase experience is the element of suprise. I am someone who does not peek at the menu prior to walking in. For that reason I won't take up pages of space detailing 18 courses of food and beverages. I can tell you every course was prepared with care and extreme attention to detail. As the evening progresses, you actually build a personal connection with your chef. We had the pleasure of being served by Chef Snezhana Briukhanova. For over 2 hours I was able to observe a truly talented chef express emotions through their food. As expected, the food was of the highest quality. Ever high end ingredient you can imagine, right up to the fresh hand ground Wasabi paste. That alone places things at the top for anyone who understands how rare it is to consume, let alone watch fresh Wasabi root be prepared. The ambiance was equally exceptional. What put this experience over the top was the artistry of the Chef and supporting staff. Each course complimented the previous and next. Another detail many omakase experiences overlook. They told their story in the perfect order start to finish. Properly making the star of each course the protein using, salt, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and umami to hilight. The staffs recommended saki parings were spot on and continued to elevate each bite. For me, the telltale sign of the perfect large course meal is realizing 2 or 3 hours has passed when it seemed like 30 minutes. Of you're a Quentin Tarantino fan, it hits in a Hateful Eight kinda way. So much to take in you lose complete track of time and reality. I haven't mentioned a single dish and I could go on and on. Simply put, I would put aside a few well earned dollars and time to try this unique experience. I will definitely be back. read more

What an incredible find! Definitely a hidden gem in boca and a must try! I found Sunset Sushi by sheer coincidence, while doing some shopping at the Asian market located next door. I was curious since there was not much signage about it and it wasn't very evident the restaurant existed there and that it was even open. The plaza where it's located isn't very big either, but there's just enough parking since their seatings are quite intimate. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted immediately and were offered a drink while waiting for the last group to finish and our group to join. The place is very well maintained, and you can tell that the fish is quite fresh and handled with the utmost care it deserves. What I also enjoyed was the fun and easygoing attitude of the entire staff and the chef preparing our servings. He was specially entertaining and fun, and you can choose to engage or not in the interaction, he was very respectful of us not engaging at the beginning since we were just enthralled in the incredible flavors, the look and feel of the place, and how relaxed the ambiance felt. Later on we engaged in the conversation and had such an incredible time, and were delighted by every single item on the menu line up. I cannot wait to return, and hopefully it will be on one of their Tuna Tuesdays when they cut up a whole entire tuna in front of you read more

Lovely 15-course omakase menu, that includes both nigiri, soup, and sashimi. All of the flavor combinations were great, and the fish was fresh. Quite a few smoked pieces (always prefer less, when possible) and they use different types of salt on almost every piece of nigiri. Tasting menu did not include oysters, eel, or octopus (a positive for me because they're not my favorites). Large selection of drinks and all of the chefs were quite pleasant and interactive. None of the dishes were "incredible" or made a lasting impression, but solid omakase place if you live closeby, I really enjoyed this restaurant! read more

Great experience. Sushi was fresh and amazing. The sushi explanation and presentation was not as good as it was the last time we were here. Also there are only eight people in the room. Why does it take so long to get water or more sake?? Five stars for food and chef. Three for the waitress service. read more

Epic. SO fresh. Incredible staff. And I absolutely love the speakeasy vibe. Definitely the coolest sushi spot around here.

Good spot, however it's pricey. Good staff, just pricey. Omg. Give it a try but bring your bank roll y'all.

I've dined at Sunset Sushi twice now and I recommend this to anyone who truly wants the Omakase experience. The restaurant is very small and it only consists of a small waiting area / lounge and a sushi bar that holds about 9 seats. They do 2 seatings a night I believe with 2 sushi chefs. This is now somewhere you should be late to! I learned that when I had a party of 3 and my 2 friends were approximately 7 minutes late. This delays the whole entire start time for everyone. The 2 sushi chefs split the seating and create each course for their side. There are times where they'll split and one sushi chef creates the course for the entire seating while the other creates the next course. Right now, it is priced at $150 person and you pay half of that when you make your reservation. They only collect the remaining half when your meal is finished. If you cancel within 24 hours, I believe they take your deposit. Both times here were an amazing experience. Each course is truly unique and this is the only place where I've had omakase where they introduce appetizers and dessert into the courses. They import their fish and everything is really fresh and delicious. I also enjoy how personable the sushi chefs are as they talk to the guests dining. Definitely will continue to dine here! read more

I'll preface this by saying that I love their other sister restaurants like alley cat, but for omekase this was far from a high level experience. it's ok at best. probably like a 3.5 stars if I could. I can't say anything about the experience was bad. the chefs and service people were all lovely. the food comes out fast and looks good. But was anything special or memorable? No. i've been to omekase places in nyc, miami, vega even toronto. This was the worst of all the places i've ever visited. read more

Hands down the best Omakase experience in south Florida. Definitely a place for special occasions and date nights. The experience is outstanding, the restaurant serves max 8 people per seating while 2 sushi chefs guide you through the experience. We learned that they are now opening for lunch service. We have had their take home omakase a few times. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Tonight was a perfect rainy night to order in sushi. Only I had to go pick it up all the way in Boca. You would think it totally defeats the purpose of ordering in, but the sushi was phenomenal and worth the drive to pick it up the distance. So when I say phenomenal I mean phenomenal in that the sushi was by far the freshest cuts of sushi I've had in a while. The sushi was perfectly portioned for 2 people. Was definitely priced on the higher side, but again was so good! When I got to sunset I called and they brought out the box of sushi outside curbside. The service was great and prompt. They actually host events and the atmosphere is very chill in the evenings. Very couplesy vibe. Will be coming back for a date night here. read more

The best omakase I've had in north South Florida with the freshest fish delivered from Japan! The place itself is small, the bar seats 8 customers comfortably and there's a small lounge area for waiting. All the reviews about their reservations system are so impatient and rude. They are still in their soft opening and working on gaining additional staff. I had no problem trying multiple times to reach them and finally got a reservation after a month. The communication was fine after that. The staff was super nice. As soon as my fiancé and I arrived on our Friday evening, we were greeted by Chloe with cups of wonderfully chilled sake, which she very nicely refilled for us at the bar as well. Within a few minutes, we were seated. Our sushi chefs Jay and Vincent were knowledgeable and professional. Each piece they delivered to our mouths was delicious, fresh and perfect. For the price, we had so much food in our omakase set. I tried my best to take notes of all the pieces: Sunomono with kinmedai and slap jack (super refreshing and opens your appetite) Akami lean bluefin tuna Hamachi with chives Kinmedai golden eye snapper Madai seabream with ume and shiso King salmon with truffle caviar (omg that truffle!) Smoked albacore with shaved onions and ponzu sauce Chutoro Komatsu Sea perch Hotate Scallop topped Charcoal sea salt Kampachi longfin yellowtail with fried shallot Fried oyster with yuzu mayo (Amazing!) Otoro with yuzu pepper sauce Sea trout yuzu pepper Hokkaido uni (so sweet and fresh) Ikura (the BEST I've ever had. Not fishy at all) Seared Wagyu Kaarage Slap jack and snapper Eel maki Tuna shiso daikon sprouts hand roll (one of my favorites) Blue crab crispy rice with truffle caviar (my other favorite) Ceviche handroll Wagyu maki King mushroom oyster mushroom truffle oil soup Yuzu apple jelly with mochi ice cream (the perfect light but sweet end to an amazing evening) Can't wait to go back for more! And now they have Resy for reservations so no need to get frustrated anymore. read more

Wow, was recommend to come by a friend, took me a while to bite the bullet but now that I did, I can never look back. My first visit was last week and I'm going back tonight! Both my husband and I have been talking about how good it was that we needed to go again. Upon arrival your greeted by the hostess where she guides you to the little lounge area before your invited to sit on the counter. I was throughly shocked and excited to see two female sushi chef on the counter ( lots of myths about female sushi chefs ) but they rocked the house and did an A1 job. The owner Chef Bou was also in attendance great guy. Once we got invited up thats when the fun began. I've never really dabbled in the real deal Holyfield of raw sushi but sunset has changed me for the better. Each course was presented with such care and attention to detail, and most importantly delicious. All of the cooked fish dishes were spectacular. There was mackerel, miso bass, some fried fish one that was my freaking favorite. Also big onion fan here so I loved it being served with thinly sliced red onionIt's so hard to pick my favorite course because it was all so damn good. Oh and how could I forget the strawberry crepe cake for dessert!!! It is worth the price you for such a wonderful fresh experience,highly recommend if your looking to do a little something special for a loved one or if you become addicted like me read more

So I'm going to separate this review to the experience and MY experience. First I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place, the food or the staff. We had an amazing meal, start to finish perfection. So it's an unassuming little spot in a strip mall, but when you walk through the front door, you feel like you are in some quaint locals only lounge. Hip, trendy, cozy, Very relaxed vibe with a comfortable decor. Dinner seatings are small and intimate. Ours was 7 guests and our party was 3 of that. We were lucky on our night and "Sushi Dave" the owner happened to be called in to handle our service last minute. He is.... a whirlwind. Moving with a slow methodical steadiness that at the same time is a whirling dervish of motion. He's here. He's there. He's talking about his passion for the sushi and the ingredients. Then he's across the bar putting yet another delicious bite on your plate. Cracking jokes. He's lighting in a bottle. Now listen I don't want you to think if you don't get the "Sushi Dave Show" for your seating you are going to miss out. The food is the star here. Dave is just an amazing garnish (while also being the heart and soul of the food). Go for the food. It is hands down one of the best meals I've ever had.... and the best sushi meal, I've had. It's course after course of delicious bites with, some wildly rare fish, rare ingredients and just plain good food. The miso soup.... never had miso like it in my life it's amazing, but just everything shines. Staff - fast, attentive, friendly, engaging. So the last part is all personal to our experience. One of our guests overindulged and had a little "too good" of a time. They were so kind and understanding. Compassionate people in an embarrassing moment. The food was amazing. Our meal, impeccable. The food is definitely the star here, but the heart of the staff - is the award winning best supporting actor. read more

It took me a while to find a great sushi spot in Boca, but I finally found one. Sunset Sushi makes me miss LA a little bit less. I was really craving sushi, but everything I saw and read looked pedestrian at best. The omakase at Sunset Sushi was everything I was hoping it would be. Every course was beautifully prepared and garnished in a way that I never added any soy sauce or used any ginger to augment the flavor. Each piece had the perfect sauce, flavor and texture. Looking forward to going back again and again. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for months, and finally snagged a seat last week for a 7 o'clock seating. The reservation has to be made using the Resy app, and requires a 50% deposit that isn't refundable within 48 hours. I don't love this policy, but I guess with only 8 seats available at each of three seatings, they have to do it this way. The restaurant itself is small and chic with a loung-y waiting area and sushi bar- not tables. They play some good, clubby music and the server is quick with a sake or cocktail while you wait. Now for the food..... Omakase only. 15 pieces of nigiri from impeccably fresh fish- most of it flown in from Japan, and 5 other courses including dessert. This was by far the best sushi meal I have had in South Florida and up there with the best Omakase joints in NYC. A few of the highlights include O-toro seared with 1000 degree Japanese charcoal, torched A5 waygyu, and albacore tuna tataki. At $150 plus drinks and gratuity, it is not a replacement for my weekly sushi spot, but it is definitely worth an occasional trip (monthly?) as a treat. 5-stars for sure read more

Boca has OMAKASE. The formula of a knowledgeable sushi chef, fresh fish and ingredients from Japan and patrons that place their palates in the hands of those chefs is magical. I felt like I was back at my trusted Omakase haunts in NYC. Thank you Vincent and Jay and the whole team that choreographed the experience. I look forward to your selections growing as the local tastes mature. See you soon. read more

After eating at 26 different sushi bars and restaurants in the Boca Raton-Delray Beach area, and being very disappointed each time, I finally found one that can compare with a great Manhattan Omikase experience. Sunset Sushi is the only place that should be permitted to call itself a sushi bar. All of the others are an embarrassment to the art of sushi. read more

I saw the great reviews and wanted to try! The Omakase experience is a bit too pricey and my husband isn't as big a sushi fan. So I tried their $30 take out box. Came with 2 pieces each salmon, yellowtail, tuna; and a salmon avocado roll. Presentation was great. The garnishes make a difference on the sushi. Loved the red pepper and the truffle. Fish tasted fresh. Yellowtail was my favorite, then salmon, last tuna because it wasn't as tender as I would have liked. When I bite a piece of sushi - I want no fibers making it hard for me to get a clean bite. Next time I would try a larger box. And eventually- for a special occasion- the true Omakase experience. read more

Tucked inside Alley Cat is the Omakase bar, Sunset Sushi. The new location keeps the same intimacy and clubby/cool vibe. Each piece of sushi is prepared with real thoughtfulness and literally melts in your mouth. So tasty and delicious, but at a very high price. Service is great, and we were in and out within an hour and 15 minutes. Cost for 2 people with 2 glasses of saki and a non-alcoholic drink came out to $460. read more
