We've been back to Tha Joint Sushi a few times recently and have noticed some good improvements. The food quality has gotten better, and the fish has been consistently fresh. The staff also seems more attentive and friendly, making the overall experience much more enjoyable. It's good to see the positive changes they've made. read more

We decided to have sushi on Tuesday afternoon. Probably shouldn't have since I got sick shortly after that night. Almost a week later, and im still having repercussions of that day. This was the only place I ate, and found out I got food poisoning. The overall size of the rolls are proportionally correct, and the friendliness of the workers were just a-ok. And it was pretty loud there, like they had the music too loud. They do have good sushi, but that day its possible of bad fish or something. Whatever it was, definitely did not agree with me. Probably won't be back to this location any time soon. read more

The food was superb! I absolutely loved the maki and cooked rolls. Unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing and completely overshadowed the food. The staff seemed more interested in looking at their phones, laughing, and socializing with each other than attending to their customers. No one checked on us or asked how we were doing, and the overall service felt inattentive and unprofessional. It's unfortunate because the food was genuinely delicious, but good food can only make up for so much when the customer service is this poor. Based on our experience, we will not be returning. read more

Tha Joint is honestly my go to sushi place at this point. Pick up, dine in, random sushi craving, whatever. They've been around for 15 years and it's still a good time since when they opened. It's not trying to be overly fancy. The atmosphere is casual but definitely a little more hip than your standard sushi place, and the music is usually excellent if you're a millennial. There are TVs if you want to watch a game, but it's also a great place to sit, catch up with friends, and not feel like they're trying to rush you out the second you finish eating. They have a ton of fun rolls, including plenty of cooked options if raw fish isn't your thing. My regular rotation is Tha Latingo, Tha Shiznit, Tha Hitman, Tha Caterpillar, Upside Down Shrimp, and Yakitori. One of those first few is legitimately spicy, not "sushi restaurant spicy," so maybe follow it with something mild unless you enjoy making questionable decisions. I'm not much of a yellowtail person, so someone else will have to provide the expert opinion there. If you sit at the sushi bar, things usually come out at a reasonable speed, and they're great about letting you customize things. The chefs can be a little hit or miss on how chatty they are, but that's never bothered me. The servers are consistently quick, especially about clearing plates, which is very appreciated during AYCE. Overall, it's reliably good, easy, above average Reno AYCE sushi without trying too hard to be something it isn't. And the fact that it's close to home certainly doesn't hurt. read more

Good rolls depend on whom is making them. Nice to see the chefs helping each other and training the new ones. We had a newer employee so the rolls weee not as polished as before. Still the same quality of fish and other items. The all you can drink sake is a nice addition to the AYCE sushi. The chilled Mango sale was a different taste. read more

So far this is the best testing sushi joint in Sparks that I have found. There's not a lot to choose from without going to Reno but living in Spanish springs I don't want to drive 30 min to go to dinner. I'm glad we tried this place - the manager was very attentive and the waitress was quick to get us drinks. The manager even brought us the chefs special roll in addition to our order since I asked what the popular rolls are and let us take home the leftovers (for all u can eat that's rare!) They had high chairs for littles and lively music and my 18 month old had a blast! They even found ketchup for her so she would eat her dinner - and we discovered she loves Miso soup! She would rate it 5 stars too read more

Yuck! I should not have even ordered. I went here on a recommendation. It was a normal Tuesday afternoon about 2 pm. The place seemed slightly busy and people filled the bar with only a few tables taken. I was alone, so I wanted to sit at the bar in the sunny area, but there chef split it for some reason so I asked to sit at the table so I could be in some sunshine. The rest of the restaurant was very dimly lit. Later regretted that choice as well because on the window next to me, which is the front window looking out to the parking lot there was a giant hairball stuck to it. . Pro tip : if every roll on the menu is named Spicy or Hot it's probably because they don't buy good fish. The waiter was nice but slow and only came to my table a few times. I only ate a few slices of each roll. He recommended that normally with the "all you can eat " special they charge for leftovers. I was not going to do that either because who would eat low grade food that was most likely going to cause an event later. More like a cosmic wave of HELL that knocked me down 6 pegs. I'm still trying to stand back up. Only eat here if you have an iron stomach and no sense of taste. read more

Enjoyed their AYCE sushi on Halloween. Walked in at 1 pm and no wait to get seated. All the servers were great, super attentive to checking for more orders. Food came out quick and tasted great. Our family loves coming here for their menu items and yummy flavors! read more

Food was great my favorite roll is definitely the five-0 and the 9 yard all the appetizers a great as well unfortunately im not to big on raw seafood but from what my freind said it was good! Service was not bad I would like a little bit more checkups since we did finish our food and drinks fast we tend to get like two rolls at a time to play it safe. Ambiance is not bad I like the sports they played on the TV. read more

Well it's been quiet a long time since I've been here. Came here in the spur of the moment and was seated quickly at the bar. Service was good, checking to make sure everything was good periodically. The food was great and wait time wasn't very long. Wasn't too busy on a Tuesday dinner service. Wasn't too loud inside so you could have a conversation with the people around you. Sorry I don't remember what the name of the rolls were. All were good and satisfying...no complaints Would definitely come here again read more

I recently went to Tha Joint Sushi and Grill. I had not been there in years; since the opening. I was not impressed with my first visit and had not been back. I decided to give them another try, and I'm glad I did. They were kind of busy and it took me awhile to be served at the bar; even between orders. The sushi was very good and they have some unique offerings. Overall, it was good, but I still have my favorite places that I continue to frequent. read more

The Joint Sushi is a go to for sushi in Sparks! We ordered take out and everything was so tasty and traveled well(sometimes not the case). We ordered the Tha Joint, Tha Rainbow, Tha Funky Chicken, and tha Hottie with a side of edamame. Tha Funky Chicken is a must!! Sooo good! They have a large interior and specials for dine in. read more

I used to come here all the time with my family many years ago and it has gone downhill ever since. They have since gotten rid of their physical menus and switched to QR code menus, which makes me question the accessibility of the establishment. The service has overall been the worst part of the experience. Hardly anyone checks on you, drinks empty with hardly any refills, our chef at one point just disappeared at random and never came back leaving the work to his coworker. The unfortunate part is although I appreciate that the establishment is diverse, if you sit at the bar, you have the unfortunate experience of having most of your orders be wrong due to the lack of understanding English. At one point we got a mystery hand roll that wasn't even close to a Twister hand roll. The staff also chats among themselves and serves themselves often instead of ensuring customers are satisfied during their dining experience. read more

The food was not very good. The rolls were really small. Service was not very great and the prices were a bit much for the quality not seeming great. We both got very sick after eating there. read more

Would leave a zero if I could honestly. The owner of the Restaurant is disrespectful to his employees, theres a difference between strict and outright rude. I will not be coming back after tonight. Service was slow and the owner was yelling at everyone for everything, even making several employees cry, the food on a regular day is okay and service a bit faster but never have I seen an owner so disrespectful. Iv been coming for years and this has never happened. It's not the employees faults they are just stressed and nervous about everything being perfect, it was very hectic and I won't be coming back. I am unsure if it was the owner or a manager. None the less work needs to be done read more

Cmon man. We've been coming here since it opened. Good portions, foods good. Just paid 120 and started laughing when we saw how tiny. So now we're paying, I get it but now it's less portions. Make it make sense read more

Wow, what a fantastic Five Star Dining Experience at Tha Joint in Sparks off Los Altos Pky. We were welcomed and seated at the sushi bar, the place was electric with lots of customers for a buzzing Saturday night. Loved the atmosphere and the service was outstanding! The Fish was fresh and the menu had so many choices of rolls. Thank you to Tony, our server and Sushi Chef's Gil & Javier for creating so many sushi rolls with style. It was a Five Star Dining Experience. Fast, friendly delicious and fresh. Well done! Tae Sung Lee is an Outstanding Restaurant Manager. I loved watching so many employees working together to make great food with such finesse. Tha Joint Sushi & Grill, 2 locations, Sparks & Reno. A great dining experience. Loved it! Julie A read more

I'm only giving a 3 because I had the best memories here. However, this was the worst sushi I've had since the last time we were here. The restaurant is empty, I told the staff we were there for a birthday, and thank you for understanding we were excited. Thank goodness for the unlimited sake. Cuz $90 for two people to have have no where near enough food for one person let alone two....Oh man, and I always go out of my way for positive but that vibe is way downer too.... Locals pay for the service and the connections. We will never be back. read more

Haven't been here in years and it didn't disappoint!! Sitting at the counter is always fun and very interactive! The wonderful gal that comes and checks on us was phenomenal!! Never had a dirty plate and never had an empty glass! She was fabulously friendly too!! For as much as we pay and such, my only critique is a little more friendliness with my sushi chef and a little more help getting plates over counter! Lol really had to stretch out to get my items! read more

The food is amazing as always! The ambiance is always fun and nice! I love the food it's my favorite spot but service is a little rocky one day we'll come in and they'll be on top of it the next time we come in it'll take them 10-15 min to grab our all you can eat sheet! But the food overall is amazing as always read more

All You Can Eat: Their AYCE sushi is my favorite in Reno/ Sparks. Their house named roll is really good, Tha Jall Bait. Tha Highway is to die for. Tha MC is a great cooked roll. For veggie lovers Tha Vegan and Tha Tempura Veggie rolls are great. You can order Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck style nigiri which you have to try if you haven't yet. I'm an especially big fan of their mussels. Sashimi Combo: This is a great choice if you are trying to avoid rice. The serving of fish is very hearty and filling. I feel like I got more fish than if I had done AYCE. I might have asked for more ponzu sauce but you only need that if you really like to drown your fish. Ambiance: Ambiance leaves a bit to be desired. The TVs are blue from being on so much. The tops of the soy sauces are cracked. There's some work needed to make the interior really shine, but I can say that I've always felt like the environment is clean. Service: Always prompt and polite. They are okay with a party that has one person doing AYCE and one person doing single rolls. Just help them out and list the rolls you got al la carts on your chopstick paper to help them out. (They don't ask you to do this but I think it's a nice thing to offer) read more

I absolutely love this place!!!!! The funny thing is I hate sea food! Been going here about two years now and I'm not a sea food fan. So it was absolutely amazing when I found out they had vegetarian sushi. A bunch of different ones and they're all delicious but THE WANTED is the absolute best one!!!!! My favorite sushi roll there. Staff is always nice and respectful. The food is also AMAZING! I usually go for the all you can eat which I think they have everyday until 4pm. And all you can eat is not available on weekends. It comes with unlimited sake (which i absolutely do not care for at all but maybe you will) They have different flavors of sake. At the end of your meal or more like buffet I would say lol you get to pick a dessert. The unlimited sushi and sake and one dessert comes all included in their daily all you can eat lunch special. This place is absolutely one of my top favorites places to eat when in town. Can wait to go next month after my movie date! Highly recommend this place. To me it's definitely also worth the price if you go during the unlimited hours. read more

Update! I left a 2 star review on this place a couple months ago. We had been back three times since. I even had the pleasure of being waited on by the gentlemen with all the tattoos who I called out in my last review. Well our last three experiences have been exceptional. Food and service. The gentlemen with all the tattoos was great and attentive and made for a fantastic dining experience. read more

I ordered sushi to go and it was so quick! I didn't have to wait long and everyone was so kind. I ordered tha highway, tha pink lady, and that shiznit.

The to go condiment were nice, I love when they provide everything like we are eating at the restaurant read more

This was my second visit to this location although I've been to the Reno one several times. The interior is more impersonal than the Reno location. We had a couple of sushi rolls (tha joint was our favorite one), and a few appetizers. Service was good but food was just okay. Not one of my favorites in Reno area. read more

I wasn't even sure I wanted to write this review. Because even in my one star reviews, I find something good to say. Unfortunately this experience has not one positive word. This review isn't so much for other diners, as it is for the management. So I go in last night July 12, 2025, for my birthday. My wife was taking me out. We walk in, and there's a gentleman in a sports jacket directing traffic. He asked us if we wanted a booth or a table. I see the restaurant is completely packed except for one table in the corner, I point to it and say I'll take that table. Right then another couple walked in behind us, and appearing magically behind our guy is a small Asian girl who asked the couple how many in their party, they answer two and she leads them straight to our table without talking to the gentleman we were talking to. They walked right around us. Now this is one of those moments you can go Karen, or you can just go with the flow. He saw how upset my wife was though, and he knew it wasn't OK. So he went back to talk to the other hostess that did that. I implored him not to, because I knew what would happen. This was going to be a used car sales deal, "let me talk to the boss"and come back with some contrived story. Which is what happened. He tried to say they were there before. They were not. But, I am a "go with the flow" kind of guy so I talked to my wife into going to the sushi bar even though we were ordering entrée items. A young man came by and asked if we were eating the all you can eat sushi? I told him no. Then I called him back over to ask him if that included appetizers, he said it did not. I said OK then. 20 minutes go by, no one even looks at us. And the sushi guy, I'm not gonna call him a chef, saw us sitting there for 20 minutes but the only thing you could do was check out my wife every chance he got. We were texting back-and-forth how obvious he was. At this point I put a five minute timer on my watch, and when it expired I was leaving. We did get a water and Coke from the kid that sat us down. At the four minute mark, my wife flagged somebody down and says "hey we've been here for 20 minutes." The girl says, "oh my goodness I'll get your server." Another five minutes goes by , and we are done. So we tell the sports jacket guy to ring us up for the Coke we are leaving. And he acts completely astonished, dumbfounded even by the acts that have happened. This is inexcusable. I liked this place, but I have noticed that it has gotten too busy for its size. And when you have critical errors like this, that cause people to miss their special days, well then you're not serving the customers at all. It took us over an hour to find another restaurant that had what we both wanted and finally get food. It pretty much ruined my night. No one should be doing that. And shame on that waitress, what were those her friends? Because it was suspicious as all hell. Sorry, not one positive out of this review but maybe a lesson for them if they read it read more

Great sushi "joint" right here in Sparks! There aren't many restaurant options and we're so happy we have one that is delicious. It is your common sushi place and they do offer some non sushi items as well. All you can eat sushi (AYCE), is $27 for lunch and I believe $36ish for dinner. You can also get brown rice upon request, I loved that! We opted to set at the bar area, where kids are also welcome, and the rolls were made in front of us. The sushi chefs were great about asking what roll we wanted next. The deep fried rolls take longer so keep that in mind if you want one. It's definitely worth a try! The ambiance laid back and casual. read more

Sushi is not fresh tasting,rolls are small,crab is very cheap looking very orange in color. Rice very dry. Had to get my bill adjusted 2 times was charged for items I did not order, when the new check came out still over charged finally had to fix it my self after waiting another 15 minutes. No came to the bar and asked if we needed anything else. First and last time eating here. read more

Tha Joint is by far, our favorite sushi spot. We come here probably weekly. We love the appetizers, and the rolls. Service can be hit or miss depending on the server you get, but is overall pretty good. My only complaint, with as much money as this place has got to be raking in, please clean this restaurant up. The floors are gross, and the bathrooms are worse. Spruce up the decor, paint the place, and keep it clean. Would make a huge difference! read more

It's honestly sad to see this place go downhill. We've been eating here on occasion for many years, however, tonight will be the last time. I'm wondering if others aren't feeling the same as it was very slow for a Friday night however, the service even at that was horrible and the food was mediocre, but I think the worst thing that we realized was how filthy it was and when I say filthy, I'm not exaggerating. As we sat at a table and chairs near the window and looked at the barstools it was absolutely disgusting. This place in general needs a serious deep cleaning. And I mean everything!!! you could even see old food under the cabinets. Almost a half of an avocado, toothpick, I just can't believe how it's been let go. If they can't even keep up with the restaurant, I can't imagine what the kitchen looks like. read more

I popped in for dinner with a friend the other night. We arrived just in time before their dinner rush. It filled up, and the line for seating and wait area filled up just as quickly as the dining room filled up. We were there for approximately 2 hours, getting our fixes and all of our cravings satisfied. The Joint is a family favorite! Appetizers like their ceviche with wonton chips are a deciding factor at times. Service was hit or miss here, but last visits here are all a solid 10 out of 10 for service and food. Their prices have gone up, but that's just everywhere in general. It won't be long until we're back for our next fixes. It's definitely cleaner than other sushi joints I've visited. Sushi is a weekly must for me. See you guys soon! read more

Tha Joint Sushi & Grill - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

I've been to Tha Joint a couple times now since relocating here. Overall I think it's a decent spot, affordable, and I'd eat there again, but it wouldn't be my first choice. The restaurant is a standard sushi bar, and could be more neat/tidy. Their service is pretty speedy, and I enjoy their rolls aren't super large. I prefer smaller roll sizes, not overloaded with rice, which can be common with AYCE. All that said, the rolls all kind of have the same flavor profile, and most have imitation crab. I also prefer when the chef serves sushi with the accommodating flavor adds. Examples like; ponzu with albacore (binnaga/binchou) or a thin jalapeño with halibut. read more
