I was really surprised by the sushi here. I typically avoid sushi restaurants with such westernized names and even decor. (The inside looks like a tavern with a sushi bar) I ordered a few sashimi pieces and also a spicy scallop handroll and California handroll. I also had a Naruto and another roll that the server recommended. I honestly liked everything. I would order the exact same set again. Things I would improve are the dessert menu. I think the server said the only thing they had was mochi ice cream. read more

This restaurant has reopened as of September 2025. For those of you looking for some great sushi in the Short North district, This wonderful little restaurant has been remodeled, but is serving up some of the same great dishes as before. @the1126restaurant is a sister franchise of @songlanrestaurant in Dublin, @thebluesushi at Polaris and @698restaurant downtown. All four restaurants serve many of the popular rolls; with each location also serving their own specialties. The new remodeling of this restaurant is beautiful. The private dining room in the back is comfy and relaxing. The rest of the restaurant has a beautiful historic charm to it. I highly recommend this restaurant as the service and food are top notch! read more

This was a great date spot for me and my wife. The sushi was awesome. I got a spicy salmon roll and the general tso's. My wife got a couple of other rolls, and we were both very happy. Even though they seemed a little understaffed, we got our food relatively quickly and our server was a delight. My wife said this was her new favorite sushi spot in Columbus read more

A phenomenal sushi experience right in the heart of the Short North. Great atmosphere, expansive selection of rolls, sashimi and nigiri, and excellent cocktails! A perfect spot for a nicer evening out or sushi night with friends. read more

Made a reservation for a Saturday dinner. There's street parking but goodluck with that, there is a paid parking though across the street. Sushi and sashimi's were fresh, especially the sweet shrimp. Agedashi Tofu is a fave of mine and it was cooked nicely and was good. Soft shell crab appetizer was so-so, the breading was so thick it masked the crab taste. The downside was the service. Sooo slow.. we wanted to order more sweet shrimp sashimi it took forever we had to just cancel. There were 3 sushi chef but food was just slow. read more

We were able to do a walk-in on a Saturday night before a show at the Garden Theatre. They said they had some cancellations. Lucky us. Miso, salad, gyoza, Udon. It was all good and flavorful. Our server did us a solid to hurry up our order so we would make our 7:00 show. Thanks for that. Nice place if you are in the SN. read more

Well delivery with ubereats took 2 hours, so it may be time to switch delivery service , that's down one star. I'm home so the surrounding is cozy and I get to eat on the couch so go ambiance. The sushi was delicious. The roll that we got was amazing and the fish was so fresh. The only thing is that I asked for lemon inside the roll and I didn't get it. We'll go again. read more

Absolutely loved this restaurant! My friends and I went and had lunch on Saturday after this place came up on instagram and needless to say we were not disappointed! This is easily the best restaurant for sushi in Columbus! This restaurant has reopened after a recent renovation/remodel. Everything from the food, service, and ambiance were excellent! The sushi was fresh and so tasty! Highly recommend the shrimp lollipops, 1126 roll, salmon family roll, and sakura roll. read more

Located in the Short North off of High street this sushi place used to be packed and hard to get a reservation. Its a little easier to get a table now but I still suggest getting a reservation. As far as the space: its a long narrow restaurant. With a front room and back room. The front has a long bar with seats leading up to the sushi station. Opposite of the bar are booths. At the end of the room there are three or four stairs leading to a back room with more seating. The colors are muted.. the vibe is cozy. The cocktail menu is limited however the bar seems nicely stocked, so iI bet they can accommodate requests. The menu has a lot of choices. They have hot and cold appetizers, they have hibachi They has sashimi and sushi... oh so much sushi. It was quite hard to pick a roll as they all looked delicious. We ended up getting six or seven rolls, so they came out on a boat platte, which was cute. We even added sone basic rolls later. Service was great and added to the experience. The booth was comfortable. We had a party of four,each had one or two cocktails and dinner came to 250 including tip. read more

First time here. More expensive than other Cbus sushi options. The rolls were good not great. We also ordered the sushi and sashimi platter for two $45 (not pictured). Could only eat a couple of pieces it wasn't quite right. Our server asked and we said we didn't like it. read more

Great option in Columbus for fresh sushi! The fish was delicious. The hot meal was solid as well, sometimes the hot meals lack at sushi places in my opinion. I highly recommend the Sake Mimosa if you love mimosas but can't stand how sweet they are sometimes. It was bomb. I'm gonna have to start making them myself! Quick service and not too busy for a weekend night here! I can see myself coming back to try out happy hour, it seems like a great deal if you love sushi! read more

Very disappointed, which I am very sad about. I have been looking forward to trying 1126 for so long and had heard such good things. I ordered the chicken hibachi which started off with miso soup. The miso soup was cold when it came out. Then the chicken hibachi came out and I enjoyed it at first, until I found an eyelash in my food. I know for some people they are able to continue eating their food but this just really grossed me out. I told the waitress very quietly and politely and she just responded with oh I am sorry. I didnt hear anything from her about it after which I was disappointed about because most restaurants would let you know they have told the staff or cooks or are remaking your food. Finally, towards the end of dinner, flies began flying all around our table. I counted about 5 or 6 flying around my seat. Overall, I was very let down by the experience especially after being so excited to try for the first time. read more

Updating my rating to 5 stars. I love this place! It's become one of my favorite date night spots. The food is 10/10 and the ambiance is great.

I'm updating my review. The sushi rolls here are fantastic -- artistic and delicious. We ordered several rolls (galaxy roll, blue crab roll, dynamite Roll, flying dragon roll, etc., and were not disappointed with any of them. The day we came here the service was a bit slow but that's because they had a huge influx of customers and the server always remained in good cheer. I'd recommend ordering the sushi rolls here to the nigiri. read more

We only had some sashimi because we were restaurant hopping on a Sunday night. It was very good and good choice of sakes as well with knowledgeable servers. Cocktails were decent - service was prompt and friendly. Unique atmosphere (in a good way) - think former high street bar from the 1950s gets converted into a fusion eatery. Kind of cool... read more

Generous sized rolls, friendly service, and quality sushi make this a WIN! We were all feeling the chill from the cold winter weather so we started with bowls of miso soup. Nice and soothing start to the meal. We ordered the Spicy Maki Combo - Spicy tuna roll, spicy yellowtail roll and spicy salmon roll. The rolls had a small amount of tempura flakes in them which did absolutely wonders for the texture and made them so much more filling - I wish all places added that in maki rolls. Usually maki rolls are not particularly large or filling, but these definitely WERE. We also ordered the Sakura roll and one more, but I can't remember what it was. All 3 rolls were generous in size (which was a surprise to us) leading me to feel like this place offered good value for what you spend. We'll be back for sure. read more

My friends and I came here for one of their birthdays and we came with the big group. They take big group reservations which was great we can snag one in the Short North on a Saturday night. It was really good set-up they had us in the back with a group for 12, the service was solid. Me and boyfriend ordered the Tempura Appetizer for our starter and it was pretty good - the shrimp was really good and crispy. They had fried sweet potatoes, that was interesting. I ordered the hibachi since i'm not the biggest fan of sushi and the hibachi was SOO GOOD! The sauce served with packed lots of flavor and the shrimp and were very fresh - I definitely can't wait to come here again! My boyfriend enjoyed his sushi! It was pretty quiet atmosphere which was great for our big group. read more

Despite being relatively limited in seating, the food here is delicious and not that expensive. I'm excited to come back and make this a regular place! Very limited seating here! If you want to make-sure you have a space, make sure to make a reservation! PROS: -Delicious, delicious, DELICIOUS sushi. I absolutely loved the rolls I got here. Yum! -My partner loved their Hibachi too. Really flavorful. -Miso soups were yummy too. A little light on the tofu but a really perfectly-warmed broth. -Despite showing up without a reservation, they were able to get us seated relatively promptly at the bar, and we still had bar-side service from a server. They clearly get a bit busy during peak food hours, though, so plan ahead! -Cute place! Despite being a relatively long and slim locale, they've done a good job keeping seating to a somewhat minimum, so it feels intimate and cute. You don't feel like you're sitting in walkways while you're eating. You are able to easily talk to your tablemates (even when the restaurant was full!) without needing to talk over each other. I was impressed! -Not super expensive! It's delicious, but you don't have to spend a fortune to get there. CONS: -It's still Short North parking with no dedicated parking lot. There's luckily a lot more spaces open this far north in the Short North, read more

I had never heard of 1126, until my friend told me this was on her list to try. We made a reservation the week before just in case. It's not a big space. It's a long narrow room with seating at the bar, a few tables towards the front and back, and lots of booths. There's also a back area which can seat large parties. Had to try their warm sake, while my friend got a mixed drink that had a bit of sake mixed into it. We also shared edamame and ordered 2 rolls each. I got the eel roll and volcano roll. My friend got the Galaxy roll and fantastic roll. Very fresh! Probably some of the best sushi in Columbus! Not sure why a lot of people don't know more about it. The prices are high, but you're paying for quality sushi from a highly skilled sushi chef. It's definitely a smaller sized sushi piece, but that's how it is in Japan. Our waiter had actually forgotten to put in the order for my volcano roll...likely because he was helping serve the large party in the back. Not a problem! They gave us free mochi! Mango and vanilla. Pretty good! Parking around Short North is kind of a toss up. There's parallel parking out front, but not many. Try one of the streets behind it. It's not free parking anymore but that's a growing city for ya! You'll be seeing me here again! read more

Visited 1126 with some friends this week. Service was prompt and friendly. It's a cute little spot in the SN and was busy even for a Wednesday.

My sweet potato roll and shrimp tempura rolls were both pretty standard, nothing special but good. read more

I ordered the yellowtail with jalapeño as an appetizer and the chicken hibachi as my entree and both were delicious! 1126 is definitely a little pricey, with an added 20% gratuity and the basic 6 piece rolls around $9 each.

Another review said it best: "all of the food was almost good." Almost, unfortunately was the key word here. We were fairly excited for this one due to the excellent ambiance and professional quality to the service staff. Unfortunately, in addition to coming out slowly, the food itself was fairly disappointing. The tempura was thick and overly-battered, instead of light and crisp. The quality of the yellowtail was middling at best. The age tofu was off-tasting. Worse, one of the two bottles of tap-water tasted slightly of rust, as if the tap needed to be run before filling the bottle, and had not. Although I brought a large party in, we left feeling let down. The cocktails, however, were pleasant. I'd come back for just those, but I wouldn't suggest making this a dinner trip. read more

This is on high street so prepare to find parking and walk. The inside is modern and looks very nice. Service was quick, efficient and nice. They forgot the liquor in my friend's first drink (we knew very obviously by taste and color), but when told it was quickly fixed. We started off with the gyoza, shu mai and edamame. All were very good. Hack: if you want a boat get 5 or more special rolls! These are on the expensive side though. My favorite was the whitefish roll on the far right. The 1126 roll is on the far left it wasn't a roll but had everything stacked in which was interesting we thought it was supposed to have gold flakes though. The quality of sushi was good. After 1 round of drinks , 3 apps and 5 rolls we spent $150 before tip. read more

I'm torn with this review, but I told myself to stay honest to my experiences whenever I go out. My reason for the the 3 stars isn't because of the food. In fact, our sushi was quite good. This has more to do with the overall experiences we had, maybe we picked a bad day to go.. who knows. Let's start with food first. We went there for the sushi since my boyfriend was craving it. He had the Kiss of Fire sushi Roll and I had their Colorful Roll. Both of which were good and not spicy on our opinion, but we like things hot. Our drinks were good, and we tried a Japanese's whisky, never had one and I would have it again. That's kind of where the good stuff ends. I don't think I ever felt more unwelcome than any other place than there, and it wasn't because the staff wasn't nice. Everyone was really nice there. But no one wants to feel neglected. I understand a lot goes into being a bar tender, but ours couldn't give us the time of day. There were plenty of people behind the bar, and the restaurant was full but not packed. This was a Wednesday night, and from the moment we sat at the bar until we left, he ignored us.... We had to flag him down to get him to serve our first drink, second and third. The only time he spent with us was when we asked about the whisky to get some. We had to flag him down to place an order, and sadly didn't even get all that we ordered. We were completely ignored, until he dropped off the check without us asking for it. Clearly this man wanted us to leave and so we did. Since we didn't eat at their booths or tables, there might have been a difference experience. But this was our and it's sad. read more

Happy Hour is not available at this time. I joined Gwen & Gail for dinner in a cozy booth on Friday night and it was so good that I want to go back anytime now. I had a delightful cocktail that I cannot remember the name of and didn't see it on the online menu to identify it. I chose the Salmon Skin Roll which was so good I did not have leftovers.

I went here for a bday dinner & the service was amazinggg. I started off with miso soup & Japanese plum wine. Undefeated combo, def recommend trying these items on the menu. I then decided to order two rolls, which were both bombbb. I will say that the speciality rolls are pretty pricey in comparison to the rolls i ordered, nonetheless my meal was still superb. Such a nice restaurant that's kind of hidden, I've never seen it before prior to this experience. O also the restrooms are v clean & have mouthwash available !!

Oooh friends!! Thanks for checkin out my review!! I'm trying something different with my reviews (a format) ha ha ha! Order: Pineapple Sake Lg., 1126 Roll, & Galaxy Roll Pros: Wasn't busy, fresh ingredients, food tasted great, clean bathrooms, and great service at the bar. The rolls were really good! This is my second time trying raw sushi and honestly, I was impressed! The way they made them did not freak me out. The flavors of the raw tuna worked well with the other flavors of the roll. It almost masked the rawness of the fish without masking the overall flavor!!! Try both of these rolls! Cons: No major cons. I will say the price for a bottle of pineapple sake was 35-40 bucks (bummer). This is a normal wine size bottle too. Quick Tips: Try the pineapple sake (yummer lummer lummm). Also, try something new and try not to think about the raw fish. For a long time I would say no to trying the fish because I heard raw used (a psychological thing). Also, if you dont want fish breath afterwards, they have listerine in the bathroom for you! read more
