Amazing food! I went back in April, I got salmon nigiri, spicy tuna, and a baked mussel special and everything was so fresh! As an avid sushi lover this little gem was everything and so much better than any of the beach sushi. The owner was so welcoming as well! Can't wait to go back! read more

We came for dinner last night because we wanted sushi and this is the closest place to our hotel. I didn't realize what a hidden gem it would be! If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. I think we both agreed this was the most fresh sushi we have ever had. read more

The food was fabulous! We had an amazing server and the food came out quickly even tho it was packed! We're vegetarian and had the vege roll, sweet potato roll, and the vege tempura. 1000% would come back here again read more

By far the best sushi in Clearwater and given its location it is much more of a locals place than the sushi on the beach. Friendly service. Very small and not a lot of ambiance, but the owner is the sushi chef and knows his stuff. To go would be easiest for a party of more than 4. read more

BEST sushi I've had! What a hidden little gem! Small place but great friendly service and ambiance. Ssshhhh - don't tell anyone!

Poor service on takeout! Took orders on parties that arrived after I placed my order and served them first!!

Some of the best sushi hands down! This is great sushi, in general, and not just in Clearwater. Kind of a hole-in-the-wall restaurant but we'll worth the experience for your taste buds. There is a lot of fish in every bite and it tastes super fresh. Definitely somewhere to visit again and again! Service was on point with one waitress servicing 4 tables and bar seating. read more

This is our go to spot! The sushi is the best in town and the size of the specialty rolls are the size of two. Our favorites are the super crunch roll, tempura eel and the volcano. We always get a few California too. We order to go and if there's one tip, what ever time they give to come pick up, add 10-15 more minutes or just come on time and chat with the chef. He's one person, so we get that this much deliciousness takes a second to make and we don't mind. read more

I really enjoyed my dining experience here. The sushi chef was very sweet and made all of his food with love. This place is small and packs up pretty quickly. The roll was tightly wrapped and it was very tasty. I appreciate that -Han made my day with the hamachi Kama, it was delicious! All in all this is a No frills, family run business. When it's just one person making all of the food it's just important to have some patience, so I had a chance to speak with the locals around me, and had a great time. read more

I'm actually surprised I've never reviewed this restaurant before. This is one of my go-to restaurants when I am on Clearwater Beach. It's a small place but the food is absolutely the freshest. The Tsu is knowledgeable very friendly and interactive. I'm glad they made it through the pandemic. They're always up for making suggestions on what you may like and today I tried unfiltered sake which was pretty adventurous for me and it was fabulous. The Chirachi was beautiful. (See pic). The to-go orders I've ever had were accurate I actually don't even have to check my bag when I'm ordering. read more

Super COZY and hidden gem sushi spot! And by cozy I mean very small but comfortable at the same time! We sat down and were immediately greeted and we ordered two beers (they serve local beers!!) and got an order of edamame with yum-yum sauce on the side! Then we went ahead and ordered the corona roll and the spicy tuna roll (a staple that I try at every sushi restaurant)! Both were yummy and enough to fill up my boyfriend and I! I honestly felt like a local when I went in and definitely will return! read more

Excellent sushi. Where the Locals Go, Island Estates. I personally recommend the Fire Cracker.. service is great!!

Best sushi i've had and at a very reasonable price. Not to mention, the sushi was beautifully prepared. Staff was all very friendly and attentive, we had wonderful conversation with both my waitress and the chef preparing our meal. The place has limited seating because it's a small local joint, but definitely worth the visit. We look forward to coming back here! read more

Meh, nothing special about this place except for how small and cramped it is. The quality of the fish was on par or below that of many less expensive places nearby, basically this place is overpriced even for Clearwater. The tuna was kind of tasteless. Yellowtail nigiri had a good texture, but was of lesser quality fish. Everything we had with crab was made with fake nasty krab. I don't believe there was any real crab in the building, but the price you were paying is for real crab. Lol The Clearwater roll was tasty, but had way too much eel sauce and crunch on it which drowned out the fish taste. The Tampa roll and the spicy tuna roll were just ok tasting, but completely fell apart. It took wwaaayyy too long to get our food. This restaurant is only big enough to hold ten or twelve people at the most, but our food took over an hour from the time we placed our order to get our sushi. The sushi chef was in serious slo-mo. Everyone was friendly, but the service was lacking. One of the wait staff was brand new as of today, so slightly understandable, but still aggravating considering how long everything else was taking as well. This should've been a one hour dinner instead it was almost 2 hours. read more

What a great find for sushi ! Probably the best, over all, tasting sushi I have had in a while. I travel around the country for business and have visited many sushi restaurants and they don't compare to Sushi Tu. Friendly and attentive servers When we arrived before 5pm, we were the first patrons which made me a little nervous. However, within a short time the place starting filling up. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and is kinda small with limited seating, so go early. My table tried 3 different rolls and as well as nigiri. read more

I'm super confused on all the 5 star ratings. I love a mom & pop restaurant, support local and never have an issue with waiting for good food to be prepared or even paying top dollar for it. I tend to not care about ambiance or decor inside either, just give me a place to eat it! But this restaurant was all the cons and none of the pros. Service was very slow, food was just ok (hence 2 stars) & expensive for what you get. The server didn't even refill any drinks! So unfortunately I won't be returning. read more

Very very delicious and reasonably priced!!! Staff were very friendly and attentive. We got various nigiri, the soft shell crab, and the volcano roll... Definitely a must try! read more

We had the best experience at Sushi Tu! Came on a Sunday night & was greeted right away. We spent the evening talking to the personable Sushi Chef, Phon. We told him what we liked and he created custom sushi rolls & recommendations based on what we told him. The sushi is the best we've had in the area and we've been looking for 3 years since moving to the area! This is now our go to sushi place & we have to drive 35 mins to get there. We will definitely be back! Thank you Sushi Tu & Phon for a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back! read more

Straight up gangsta sushi! In a small but cozy space tucked back in a strip mall on Island Estates sits this absolute gem of a restaurant. With the vibe of a college town, coffee klotch and the feel of a NY diner... I fully expected one of the two millennial-clan samurais behind the counter to scream, "No sushi for you!" All colorful punditry aside... Snapper sashimi - dumb! Brooklyn roll - dumb! Super Crunch roll - DUMB! read more

The sushi wasn't bad but mediocre at best. The service was horrible. They made us sit outside. Normally under COVID I would understand but they allowed other large groups of people to eat inside after we requested to eat inside. Despite the dirty glass and providing the wrong food to another patron, we still decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. Over and over we were failed as customers. We were charged the wrong items. We had to request for additional items such as sauces or chop sticks. We were left unattended and ignored for most of the visit. I am extremely disappointed. We came to celebrate a birthday dinner and we all left extremely dissatisfied. When asked about a price over the final bill, I was rudely handed a menu with the items circled. The sushi is not worth the excess of disappointment. Purely disrespectful and disgusting display of professionalism. read more

Holy cow the food was so good it didn't last long enough for a picture!! We sat at the bar and spoke with the sushi chef and ordered his recommendation of a triple crunch roll and a Tu's Sashimi Salad and I was not disappointed! The roll was this warm mix of spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, avocado, Pablo fried and topped with spicy mayo, eel sauce, scallions and masago!! It was amazing and the size of 2 rolls. Now the Sashimi bowl was a mix of tuna, yellow tail, salmon sashimi, squid salad, seaweed salad and avocado served with a sauce that was out of this world yummy!!! It was the best of both worlds the cooked warm roll with the cold sour/yummy goodness of the Sashimi bowl! This will be my last meal if ever I am on death row!!!!! Oh and the family devoured their rolls as well! Hubby had a bagel roll and spicy tuna! Oldest Daughter had the Chirachi Sushi Bowl and woofed it down! Youngest had the spicy tuna, rainbow and the Tekyu (tuna with and awesome poke sauce) My hats off to the staff! They stayed open late so we could have take out and the guest here kept ordering until way passed closing! Thank you for adding to the road trip! read more

I gotta go with 5 stars based on value. You CAN get better sushi in town. You CAN get it at much fancier restaurants and you CAN pay much more for it at those other restaurants. Our rolls were great, the sushi was fresh, service was prompt and courteous, and my party had an excellent dining experience here. They seem to do a lot of take out business. They take reservations. Because the restaurant is very small I recommend a reservation. Restrooms were clean. Parking can get challenging. There is a large grocery around the corner if you can't find a space. My only complaint would be that the miso soup was only fair. Not good but not bad. It wasn't bad enough to lose a star though. Please give a click below and let me know what you thought of this review. Thanks! read more

Sushi Tu - Sushi Bars Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

My boyfriend came here often with his coworkers & now that I've moved to the Clearwater area I've been able to stop in a few times too. Located near Clearwater Marine Aquarium, this sushi spot is small inside, so don't bring along your party of 20 and expect to be seated quickly or altogether. But for couples or small groups, this is a great spot to go. The sushi is prepped right where you can see it & the chef is willing to accommodate food allergies with ease (my shellfish allergy is often a struggle when it comes to sushi, but not here). They also have a tasty miso soup that I regularly get. My boyfriend and his coworkers are there so frequently that the chef has come to know them quite well & can make their order without them even placing it most of the time, so you know this place has a wonderful local feel to it instead of another touristy spot as you get closer to the beach. read more

Do you want fresh sushi from a great family business that actually caters to ur individualism? Well make sure you go to Sushi Tu. Now don't be afraid of this small business. The atmosphere and seating make it easier to enjoy your company and see what makes this restaurant so great. From the hosts and servers, to Chef Pan and the other chefs, they are eager to please. On to the sushi. When I say they cater to your individualism and requests, I mean it. I wanted to have one of the items on the menu but I like my sushi as fresh and as spicy as it can come. Chef Pan, as usual, didn't let me down. My sushi came with fresh jalapeños, habanero slices, ghost pepper seasoning, with fresh cilantro and lemon to complete its freshness with tuna, avocado and ponzu sauce. Oh my word. It was so spicy that my nose kept running and my lips were burning. However it was so good I couldn't stop eating. Chef Pan and I go years back from his days at island Way. He was very eager to please then and now with this family business he is just as excited to please. As you know when I get a place that I love I tend to continuously go back. Chef Pan I am on my way. read more

Thank you yelp! We came here based on all the Amazing Yelp reviews. The reviews were spot on. Sushi Tu is in a little strip mall that's very unassuming. Walking in we were greeted by the nicest sushi chef. Due to CoVID some of the tabes were not available. I believe they said they were at 50% capacity so keep that in mind if you want to dine in. We ordered a few apps and some hot saki. Everything was delicious. The waiter was hustling but, was very efficient. Our rolls were excellent. The fish, fresh and tasty. They definitely have a local following for takeout and I understand why! Do yourself a favor and drop by and have some really good sushi. The only thing we were disappointed with, is the fact that they don't have desserts. read more

I had the crunchy rolls. AMAZING! My kids had salmon sushi, ginger salad and a mixed rolls. All is extremely tasty, freshly made to order (it takes time. Be patient) and high quality fish. It's a very small restaurant, and from looking at it, I wouldn't have expected this quality. It's in a strip mall on island estates. However the food was fresh, I vestige, tasty and had a wonderful mouth feel (the crunchy with the soft rice and fish). The waitress is extremely polite, kind and attentive. I am so happy I came (I decided to come based on all of the five star reviews -- which are all warranted). I'll definitely eat here again. read more

They always say the hole-in-the-wall places are the best for food and music. When it comes to sushi, Sushi Tu was BOMB! I visited for supper on our driver's recommendation. He made the suggestion when we initially planned on going to a higher end spot. Walking up, this place is in the middle of a small shopping strip. I'd say the whole restaurant seating area is the size of my office. I think there were 4 tables and barstools set around the counter. But the set up is cool, casual, and intimate. Walking in, we were immediately greeted by the chef and the other patrons, and I felt at ease right away. I was a bit disappointed that they were out of uni on our first visit, but the chef assured us that he'd have some for us the next time we came in, which he did. Omg, the stuff was so fresh and nicely sliced, and presentation was on point. We also had some hot sake on each visit. I didnt ask the brand, but it was tasty and slightly sweet. I will definitely be back to Sushi Tu whenever I'm in the area again. Take a look at my pics, this place was on point! read more

Second time here, this time for takeout, and it's confirmed; this place is legit. Both rolls were phenomenal (Corona & Super Crunchy) ordering take out didn't jeopardize the quality, as both rolls were beautiful and tasty. Also the sashimi hamachi was perfect. With just a touch of soy, I could've eaten a pound of that. So good. If you're debating giving it a try, DO IT. You won't be disappointed. read more
