    Been here twice now and each time was amazing. Unique specials that change often and great regular menu with nice variety. Staff is friendly and attentive and overall a cute cozy place.

    The Other Fish is a hidden gem near Main Street in Bethlehem. We have dined in and had takeout from here many times and are always so happy with the service, ambiance, and everything they offer. Today, we started with the spicy seafood soup, inari with spicy tuna and shrimp tempura, and the black truffle tuna appetizer, which were all delicious. We also ordered 4 sushi rolls - spicy lover, snow goose, tracy, and tipper. All were fantastic and left us wanting more!

    This is it. This is the one. This is the best sushi place in the Lehigh Valley HANDS DOWN. My boyfriend and I love coming here. The atmosphere is immaculate, the staff is hospitable, and the rolls are works of art. The ingredients are so fresh and you definitely get your moneys worth. You have our unwavering patronage as long as your doors are open.

    how absolutely delicious!!! came here with my dad and a friend and we were absolutely amazed at how tasty and fresh everything was. the miso soup, seaweed salad, and all the variations of sushi we got was amazing. customer service was excellent; highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar. the owner was the one preparing the sushi, and they're incredibly friendly & make great suggestions (and are also very accommodating and said that if we didn't want anything or wanted substitutions). ambience was great, great for chatting, and great music playing, too! such amazing sushi here, my friend who'd lived in okinawa was amazed, and i live in new york, and i can say this is one of the best sushi places. i also found the prices pretty reasonable for a table of 4. cash or venmo payments only so come prepared! will definitely be returning next time im in the area!

    Staff is really friendly and inviting. Yuri is the MANNNNN ! We got complimentary Thai iced tea since it was a promotion they had, to unleash their new special. Definitely try it! It is super clever and delicious. The dinner environment is awesome and quiet. Had dinner with my handsome fiancé (my hand hurts cause of my diamond). Food is delicious and honestly come here with a friend or alone, you defiantly deserve to TREAT YOSELF ! It's BYOB and great energy . Wings are awesome

    The Other Fish is *so good*. It's a small business in a small restaurant run by the best staff. Yuri is great, and the man who makes the sushi (sorry, not on a first name basis with him) is so talented! Everything is made with such care and the ingredients are always fresh. "The Other Fish" sushi roll is the best I've had, though the Blue Crab, the Natalie, and the Dragon roll are all great too. If you're in the area, absolutely make a reservation for this place!

    First and foremost I do want to thank the bearded gentleman at The Other Fish for giving me a full refund on my order BUT this was my experience: Sushi is something that I eat on the regular. I live and work in NYC and I know what good quality sushi looks and tastes like. I also know when a restaurant is bs-ing me. I placed an order for 3 people, through grubhub, at 8:45pm. According to the grubhub app, it would take 90-100 minutes to prepare the order. At 9:31pm I called the establishment to ask them when my order would be done, since I am on the same block as the restaurant. They did not seem to know I had placed an order and told me 9:50pm would be the best time for pickup. I arrived at the restaurant at exactly 9:50pm and was given my order with no problem but I noticed the bag was a bit small for the order we placed. Come to find out we were missing 3 rolls and immediately headed back to the restaurant. We told them about the missing roll and told us they couldn't make us more because the cook just threw out the rice. They suggested refunding me for the rolls we were missing but instead a kind, bearded gentleman said they would refund our whole order. My sister and friend were able to have dinner but I was not able to because the rolls that were missing were avocado rolls (I do not consume animal products). Upon inspection, the rolls looked like they were rushed, as they were falling apart when being consumed and not wrapped tightly. My thoughts on The Other Fish: 1. Your prices are ridiculous! I work on the Upper West Side in NYC and can get avocado rolls for $3.50 instead of your $6.00 for some crappy loose, rushed rolls. The most expensive avocado rolls I've had are $5.50 from one of the best Sushi restaurants in NYC and they have the right to charge that because of their presentation, taste, and overall experience. 2. Your preparation time is also ridiculous! On the Upper West Side, I can order 4 avocado rolls, 1 eel avocado roll, 2 California rolls and an order of gyoza that will arrive to me in 30-40 minutes, being delivered to me from only 5 blocks away. You guys can't even get it together with me picking up the order and staying literally next door to the restaurant. Today you produced 5 rolls of my order in an hour, meaning it took you about 12 minutes to create each of those crappy rolls. Get out of here with that 90-100 minute prep time! 3. Your presentation sucks. Styrofoam takeout containers for sushi? Really? Also, your ratio of rice to filling is way off. There is too much rice and it needs to be balanced. Overall experience: Very disappointed. My best friend actually recommended this place and thought I'd love it because of my love for sushi. Don't think I will ever order from here again.

From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, while the staff demonstrated a high level of professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine commitment to guest satisfaction. Our party ordered three Ribeye Steaks, one Filet Mignon, and one Chicken Breast entrée. Each dish was prepared flawlessly and cooked precisely to the requested temperature. The quality of the ingredients was immediately apparent, reflecting the restaurant's dedication to excellence. The ribeye steaks were exceptionally tender, richly flavored, and expertly seasoned. The filet mignon was perfectly prepared, offering an impressive balance of tenderness and flavor. The chicken breast was equally noteworthy, prepared with care and delivering a moist, flavorful, and well-balanced presentation. What was particularly impressive was the consistency maintained across every entrée. Each plate was presented with sophistication and attention to detail, demonstrating the kitchen's commitment to quality and precision. Service was seamless throughout the evening, with courses delivered in a timely manner and staff remaining attentive without being intrusive. Kome Japanese Restaurant exemplifies the standards of a premier dining establishment. Their commitment to culinary excellence, impeccable presentation, and superior customer service creates a memorable experience that exceeds expectations. I highly recommend Kome Japanese Restaurant to anyone seeking an elevated dining experience and look forward to returning in the future.

Also, with these places, you are expected not to waste food so you should consume the rice portion as well. Fair enough and totally understandable. When I called, I was glad to hear that they would allow for members in your party to order à la carte as long as the folks partaking in AYCE do not share. That is a very good way of appeasing the entire party. Walking in, I saw a sign that says BYOB. Another plus but unfortunately I didn't bring any drinks. After my wife looked at the menu, she too opted for AYCE because getting an entree isn't that far off price wise. This is a Chinese owned establishment but nonetheless, the sushi selections are amazing and different. The wait service is prompt and always ready to take your order, and the AYCE came with unlimited soft drink per guest. We ordered a few appetizers and I will say I really enjoyed the spicy edamame as it has a very nice garlicy taste to it. A letdown was the lo mein as I felt it was too garlicy for some reason while my wife felt it was a bit bland. For the sushi selection, they have single sushi pieces, rolls which come in 6 pieces, and special rolls which come in 8. They also have some cooked Asian fusion dishes like General Tso chicken as an example. One advice is they do give a lot of rice in the sushi so when you place your first order, go easy as that will allow you to gauge your speed for the rest of the meal. Throughout the whole time, we were never rushed and didn't have to wait super long to get our order. All in all, very good place for what it offers and will give 4 stars overall.

I don't want to show any pictures of this place, I don't want anyone loss appetite. AYCE menu? Totally not all you can eat, charge $30 per person, but ACYE menu are small and not much options to choose, forcing customers empty all single dish, sashimi came out like split half off of cuts in regular piece, and cut into thin slices as much as they can, meat qualities are sucks, they gave shits to people eat for the AYCE menu, I was wondering if the owner refused to let customers order more of sashimi, it can limit them and shows on menu underneath or raise up the price, or stop playing AYCE. Veggies salad tasted awful, don't understand why the home made sauce is way too sweet. Tastes so weird. Do they know how to make sauce? If not, please use the regular Caesar or ranch dressing to be good. Also the servers, cooks and sushi chefs will automatically cut off what you orders of amount on menu, they ain't mention to customers why or which items they ain't do it yet, they think customers are like donkeys, it was too tired to keep asking them what it missing and ain't came out yet. Ended up they automatically charged gratuities without notification. Even I know auto grats will charged on big parties, but still as a server or manager they can notify people came sit down before decided order AYCE or menu's, I don't mind to tips, and I do tips for real, also we tipped sushi chefs in separately, but all entire times there we no one is enjoyable, this place sucks, totally not recommended, and never return it back for sure.
