City Pop Sushi

I've been meaning to try this place basically since it opened and today was the day!The interior is great, colorful and different. There's a few places to sit but what I love about this is it's a sushi option close to work!I grabbed the dragon hand roll (I swear that6ehat it's called...) for $7. The shrimp was chopped with fresh pepper and doused with black pepper. The rice and nori cut thru it beautifully. Not badly priced and I wasn't hungry after.And of course I had to try the bubble tea ($5). They brew their tea there and I got the mango guava tea with boba (that's made daily). You have a sweetness level of 1 to 3. I went with 2 and it was perfect. The actual boba itself seems sweet which was actually quite lovely. Their menu also seems to have new things periodically, they had a tuna poke bowl the day I went but I wanted something that was super quick.They also have various sauces that were quite tasty!The workers there are great, very personable and helpful. If you haven't tried this place, you really should!! I'll be back to try more of the menu!

For me, sushi is almost always in a very quiet place with a fountain and a glass wall between the dining room and door. This is not that place. This is a restaurant for a game of MTG, watching some Japanese tv, and some really tasty sushi handrolls. Small menu, small restaurant, great service. If you want quiet, go somewhere else. This place rocks my socks.

WOW! Vowing from California & came here while just in the area walking around, the food is so delicious! & always a bonus when everyone that works here is so helpful & sweet!-We got the Prosciutto &bacon roll (WOW, I was attracted to it cause I love both those meats & was immediately attracted to it & was SO satisfied after trying it!) so delicious!- California roll: the crab is so fresh & delicious -spicy tuna roll: SO tasty it's seared ahi in the roll, it melted in my mouthAll the sauces are some of the best sauces I've ever had, & the amazing part is they make all their sauces IN HOUSE! I was so impressed how delicious they are.Their bubble tea was also super tasty & delicious, never had one quite like it, but happy I ordered it cause it was so flavorful!Margo was the one that assisted us and I'm so grateful for her friendly personable service she provided as well as the rest of the staff! Food was quick, the ambiance was amazing, & loved all the food & drink we ordered! Can't wait to come back!

I have been looking for a sushi place close to downtown Cleveland for almost a year (with good quality ingredients). I by chance stumbled on this place during it's soft opening and will definitely be coming back. All of the sushi was individually wrapped and was flavored with home made sauces. I also loved the bubble tea. It was sourced from the tea lab. The staff was also super friendly and explained the various rolls and bubble tea flavors. They even customized the level of sweetness for the bubble tea. On a side note the design is super cute and makes for a great instagram photo!

Woah! The coolest shop located on E.12th across from the Luckman. The freshest rolls and homemade boba tea, not any of that powder stuff. There is always a tea of the month, and this month it was the strawberry wine which is what I ordered. The tea was tasty and it left me wanting more. The sauces are house made and I fell in love with their wasabi mayo. The art work on the walls is so beautiful it's as if it told a story. The owners really know their stuff and I felt as if I was in Japan eating. The owner enjoys hosting games nights and inviting the local CSU students or anyone who wants to play.

Just tried City Pop for their soft opening. Their hand rolls were delicious and the house made spicy mayo was the BEST! I will 100% be coming back to try the bubble tea.

Amazing restaurant! The vibes and decor are very fun and bright. The food was really good, I would definitely recommend getting some of their boba tea as they brew it with loose leaf. The owner was very kind and was great conversation. You can see a lot of passion was put into the store. Would definitely stop by again!

Amazing owners, and atmosphere! Fo delightful, easy and light, cute and the perfect kind of different!

City Pop Sushi transcends food and drink. It can start to feel like home after a few visits. There are t-shirts for sale, arcade games, and art enclosed in the tiny and cozy space. The owner, Bryson, is a gem and is happy to strike up a conversation with any weary traveler or regular customer. As for the food, the sushi is great! Don't expect the typical 6 to 8 piece sushi roll...these are cone rolls! You get 2 cone rolls per order and I tend to fill up for about $10 or $12. Bryson also offers ramen during colder months. Besides the sense of community, the reason I keep going back is to try new bubble tea flavors. The tapioca balls are cooked perfectly and you choose the sweetness level (1, 2, or 3). New flavors circulate on a weekly basis. Do yourself a favor and check out City Pop Sushi located in downtown Cleveland by Reserve Square. Tell Bryson that Steve sent you and check out the wall!

Friendly service, delicious food, and fun art. We enjoyed the bubble tea, ramen, poke bowl, and sushi.
