The steamed broccoli that accompanied the ginger chicken was more than just garnish......it was a generous portion of florets steamed perfectly. The entire meal stayed warm until it was finished.

This was our third or fourth time going to Sushi O and it had been SO good in the past. This time we noticed a significant drop off in the food and drinks. My favorite drink, the Lychee mojito was not good. I think maybe they forgot the lychee? The pan fried gyoza had more of a steamed texture. It wasn’t bad…it just wasn’t nearly as good as it had been.

Enjoyed the variety of Asian cuisines. Sushi and sampling of Thai, Chinese and other regional dishes. My wife enjoyed her drink along with dinner. Well worth a visit!

I think their Open Table system was broken on Valentine's Day, 2/14/25. I was never sat even though I had a confirmed reservation. Upon arriving, there were no available tables and at least 5 parties waiting to be seated who also had reservations.

Booked a Valentine reservation for my wife who loves sushi. We arrived and the line was out the door. No staff checking people in. The staff did, however, decide to complain that people were holding the door open and letting the cold air in. We waited 15 minutes after our reservation was supposed to start, saw no progress and decided to bail. If you want sushi on Glenwood, go to Sushi Blues.

We have always liked Sushi-O. The restaurant has great food and, during normal times, decent service. However, this review is about a time of stress time, specifically Valentine’s Day of 2025. There was a missed opportunity by management to mitigate flow into the restaurant. Our reservation was at 7:15pm but we came early. I’m glad we did because 5 other groups showed up for the same reservation time. Our reservation also wasn’t verified (meaning theoretically, anyone could’ve claimed that time slot). Once we did get seated, we waited 25 minutes to be served (though I’ll note the bus boy brought us water). We had the flag down a waitstaff member to be served. In fact, her had to flag her down several times during the evening to get proper service; she was apologetic given the circumstances. The saving grace of this evening was the food quality. The cooks did an excellent job with our egg drop soup orders, crab wontons (Rangoon), and sushi rolls. All was amazing. Had it not been for the waitress’s demeanor, I would not have tipped and she missed out on a higher tip because of the slowness of service. The big takeaway for management here is: 1. develop a strategy for large nights. There is no reason to have waitstaff servicing random tables. They should’ve had dedicated sections. 2. I actually did witness an order (likely an appetizer) that I timed from being ready to being picked up by staff at roughly 11 minutes. This is not good and I would’ve rejected it had it been brought to my table. 3. Hold the hostess accountable to verify reservation times on the app if you are going to take them. That itself could’ve been disastrous (and likely was). Hopefully these things will be addressed. Thanks 😃

Dined here for Valentines Day and it was our first visit. We had a reservation so we were seated right away. Our drinks and appetizers were delicious. My entree came out before my boyfriend's so I sat and waited a few minutes thinking his would come soon after. After 10 minutes I decided to start and just eat slowly thinking his order would arrive any minute. 15 -20 minutes passed and we were finally checked on and our server said he would go check the kitchen. After another 20 minutes or so passed my boyfriend had to get up from the table to ask our server again to please check once again. We were told that the kitchen was backed up with take out orders and that his sushi wouldn't be out for at least another hour. He suggested the order be changed to something from the kitchen instead of sushi - which was the reason we came to begin with. We asked for the check and I shared my plate of food that had gone cold with my boyfriend. The only thing they did to make it right was take 2 beers off the tab. Needless to say it was a bust and a disappointment. It's a shame because the food we did have was great, but we won't be back to risk having this same experience. Take out orders should not be prioritized over dine-in customers who made reservations for a nice dinner out. It should also be a given that couple eating together would want to eat at the same time. If you go here - I suggest going at lunch on a weekday. Or maybe just order take out.
