Rishi Sushi Kitchen & Bar

A mainstay of downtown Columbus, the gooners from Rishi Sushi are more than just a treat, they invite you to celebrate and create memories with those you care about!Bursting from the seams, the creamy filling perfectly blends notes of garlic, onion, and treads lightly on the crab flavor. The double wrapped, crispy wonton wrappers are crunchy, thick, and desperately fighting to contain the amount of filling stuffed into these bad boys. Crisp on the edges and soft in the center, the perfect date.- Heartiness: 3/5- Spiritual Health: 4.5/5- Mouth Feel: 4/5 Rishi's sweet chili sauce elevates the flavor profile, offering a reprieve from the sweet and sour sauces found on your traditional menus. Honestly, it's one of the best goon dips I've ever had.

Arrived at 6pm on Friday and we weee the first customer for dinner. Waitstaff was attentive and patient. We ordered one sushi roll and a bowl of ramen to test quality before deciding on more. Sushi roll was decent. Fresh. Good size and had a good combo of ingredients The ramen was surprisingly good. The quality of the noodles was good with a decent chew. The broth was surprisingly tasty. The ramen sat on a bed of spinach and bean sprouts. There was bak choi on top. The portion was huge! I ended up splitting it with my companion.

Driven past this a thousand times. It's in a great location downtown. Street parking, tight at times but I snagged a spot at lunchtime on a weekday.Great service from the hostess and waiter. Cool views, interesting interior. And pretty good sushi. I was tempted by the specialty rolls but went with a bento box, #7 lunch special: bulgogi, dumplings, egg roll, and more. First time I've ever seen a slab o' bulgogi instead of shreds, but it was super tender and came apart with the chopsticks. Flavorful, moist, excellent, with perfect sautéed onions and sticky rice. The dumplings were good not great, the eggroll was excellent, the California roll was pretty good, plus there was a little seaweed salad. All enjoyable. I also got some unagi, a big tender piece that was in my top 5 ever. I'm looking for reasons not to give them 5 stars and there aren't any. Food, service, atmosphere, all great. Reasonably priced. Interesting menu. Convenient if you are already downtown. I'll be back.

This was my third time here in the past 4-5 years. It was enjoyable every time. The place was pretty empty when we got there, then quickly got packed. They were not ready for the crowd and the service was slow. The food hot was great! My favorite was the Korean spicy chicken, I can't wait to have it again. We also got 2 sushi rolls and a sesame grapefruit gin drink. Pretty nice spot located not far from Pins and Jackie O's.

I'm always looking for that perfect sushi place, you know the one that has fresh ingredients, cool special combos and is priced fairly. I have had a few chances recently to go to Rishi and try their food. I only stuck to sushi recently, but I am intrigued by their ramen and interesting appetizers.I have tried their salmon roll (added avocado), the spicy salmon roll (added cucumber), the shrimp tempura roll and one of their specialty rolls. Overall I think they're pretty decent but I wasn't wowed. Adding the avocado was an extra $1 or so but I think I got less salmon. It's just a tiny sliver in there. The shrimp tempura was pretty good. The price was pretty cheap, and I think I got what I paid for. It was ok for Columbus sushi but if you're looking for something amazing I don't think this is the spot.One thing to note: they don't have coins and will not take coins. They round to the nearest dollar. I get the purpose behind it but the bartender/host was just so nonchalant about not giving me change. It would be fine if they had a sign or something but I didn't see one.

Foods disgusting. No flavor and not fresh. We ordered the ramen, bad idea. Worst ramen I've had in the 32 years of living I've ever had. The curry bowl? Watery curry and soggy "crispy" chicken. How is this place still open? I want to give this place a 0 star but unfortunately it isn't an option.

We love Rishi! We've been there several times now. The sushi is tasty and the service is excellent. We like to sit at the bar and chat with the bartender. We love their mocktails. It is usually pretty quiet. It is great for a date night or to take the family.

We placed a pick up order over the phone and after giving our name and number the staff member said, is there anything else we would like to order we had not even placed any food order yet she then informed us I thought there was no tofu left for our soup so we said we would get something else instead. Upon picking up, they charged us and gave us soup with tofu, in addition to our pad Thai (which tasted off). Once eating the food at home, I found a black hair in my pad thai I have long red hair. Yuck.

The sushi was great when I dined there last night. Came with a large group and they accommodated us quickly. They appeared to be short staffed at around 7:20pm but prices on sushi were reasonable for what you got.

I really enjoy the crispy, sushi panini here. Although, note their happy hour is from 5-6pm. I came in to place a to-go order/ take advantage of the happy hour deal when I was coldly notified of the happy hour hours and the fact it does not count for take-out customers. I almost left and picked up something else for dinner after feeling like I was scolded for not knowing. I was surprised to see that I was the only customer in the building. No issues other than that. Food is solid for the most part.
