Daigo Handroll Bar

Fresh, authentic sushi and handrolls with little wait time. Dekalb Market truly has something for everyone and if you're me, that includes Daigo Hand Roll Bar.As the name implies, there is a bar to sit at with chopsticks, plates and napkins ready for you. Staff is friendly as well.The yellowtail tuna roll with scallion is a must-try. Fresh fish, filling but won't leave you feeling bloated and a good price point. I appreciate how the rolls here are also served at traditional sushi temperature. This is a place you come back to, even if you want to try other vendors, because it's just so good!

What do you get when you combine: - Fish served way too cold- Fish that's chopped up rather than served fresh and tender- Rolls that are half the size of most sushi restaurantsand- High pricesYou get Daigo Hand Roll Bar.

I've had a quick work lunch at Daigo Handroll Bar several times over the past few weeks. It is located in DeKalb Market Hall, pretty close to the Trader Joe's side.The lunch special at its baseline is a little pricey, and there are a lot of price add-ons for particular rolls, which makes it a not cheap lunch.The service is really fast and fresh. The miso soup that comes with the lunch special is good, and the rolls are a good portion size. I do feel that the rice is not seasoned to my particular taste, but it's not bad.Overall, this is a good choice for a quick lunch in the area. I've been several times and do keep returning!

Not kidding when I say this place has some of the best spicy tuna I've ever had. Would 10/10 recommend you try that when you visit. The seating layout feels very traditional (at least what I think) which is fun in such a busy marketplace.

Daigo is a surprisingly solid sushi spot in Dekalb market. The fish tastes fresh and the rolls always satisfy. You stand at the countertop tables to dine, so you don't particularly feel like lingering around for too long, but it's a great little place for when you want something fresh and not too heavy. Prices are reasonable for good quality sushi and I haven't had a disappointing roll yet. Will definitely return next time I'm in the market and craving sushi!

Daigo! I love this place and I remember when I first saw it at the newly opened Dekalb Market food hall back in 2017. Every time I'm in the vicinity I have to have a hand roll here. It's a very casual space, no tables or chairs -- you walk up, order your food to go or to stay, and if to stay you stand at one of the counter spaces. Your chef will prepare your rolls and hand them to you one by one as they're made! So fresh and delicious.My absolute favorites to order:-Miso soup (careful it's scalding hot and I've burned my tongue many a time)-Spicy tuna hand roll -Yellowtail scallion -Seared salmon with yuzu -Snow crab avocado What makes these hand rolls so incredible besides the quality of the fish is the nori. It must be imported because the taste and texture is top notch. Perfectly crisp and light, how nori should taste. Just get all the hand rolls...

First time at this small sushi chain located in the basement food hall of mall. Minimalistic sushi/roll options. You can choose between cut or roll. I chose all cuts for salmon avacado and mackerel rolls. Tasty sushi with good soy sauce, sliced ginger, and most likely horse radish wasabi. I'd eat here often next time. I like their aesthetic but there's no stools for dining booths which makes sense. Their food isn't meant for long eating periods. Recommend find seating in the open area. Definitely worth a try.

It was extremely hard to find this hand roll bar in the market. I originally saw it on yelp and wanted to try it when I was working in the area, and I walked around for over half an hour before finding it. It's definitely quite hidden, in the middle of the market. I wish the market had a guide or map because there's too many different vendors squished together.Onto the food - they have a weekday lunch special. The two rolls plus a bottle of water was $20 so honestly the lunch special was still expensive but the hand rolls were delicious and it was a unique setup where each customer stands at the bar and eats as they are served.

I really liked this handroll bar. I like to try different spots and this may be close to the top of my list! I went when it wasn't crowded so the service was very fast. I got 2 handrolls and a water bottle $12 as a lunch special. Both the spicy tuna and seared salmon were delicious! There's a bar wrapped around the stand where you could stand and eat. It is clean and looks nice. Great for a quick bite or appetizer if you're making your way around the food hall! I highly recommend.

Picture this - you're a growing lad who has just walked 20 thousand steps. Hungry AF in downtown Brooklyn. You wander down some slippery stairs and almost eat shit. You find Daigo Handroll Bar in this slightly crowded food court. You order a spicy tuna roll, miso soup, and a coke to hold you over for the jaunt home. What you are given exceeds all expectations. The miso soup is scalding when it comes out but once it cools a little is great. The roll you are given is like heaven in your hand. The rice is still warm and seasoned to perfection. The tuna is the perfect consistency and tastes so fresh and yum. You take a bite and melt. The rest is a blur but I can't recommend it enough. Just hope there's a spot for you to sit.
