Shokunin

Probably the best place I've had for sushi here in the Lincoln area! The nigiri is a great size and sushi has always been very fresh!My favorites here are the seared salmon, ikura, and any of the rolls! The ramen is pretty flavorful and the marinated egg is perfect each time. Service can be kinda slow sometimes when it is busy but honestly worth the wait

Our favorite Sushi spot in Lincoln! Go here; you will be satisfied.This little gem is hidden on the north side of the Haymarket area, and it has been our favorite since it opened. The fish is always fresh, and the selection of maki rolls is incredible. The cuts of the sashimi and sushi are divine. In addition, the tempura, fried tofu, and spicy edamame appetizers are incredible!! I highly recommend everything you could order here. The restaurant dining area is cozy and relaxed at the same time. There's not a lot of space, which makes for a community/intimate feel. It's neat to see what others are ordering and how they interact. A few TVs are on the wall, but they're not distracting. Service is also top-notch. There's a host, wait staff, and busers to handle all manner of seating, ordering, cleaning, and ensuring you have an enjoyable time. The wait staff is also knowledgeable, something I have always appreciated.

Every time my fiancé visits town, we always have to go here. Best quality sushi in town. Service was great even though we had a mess up in our order, I believe Jason then manager fixed it for me right away and was super nice about it. Will be back again !!

Nice people. Bluefin Tuna Nigiri style was really good. I do not recommend the ramen or the hand rolls (temaki). All that to say, this the best sushi you are going to find in the Haymarket.

The service is so friendly! You can taste that every sushi is made with heart and soul! Even from a simple California roll, it tasted fresh and so flavorful idk what they did but it was incredible! We also got spicy salmon roll, spider roll, and shiitake mushroom roll! Everything was made so well.The happy hour menu was slightly cheaper but not much, but it was a treat coming here! My friend has been raving about it and I'm glad we got the opportunity to try it finally

Eric R. and I have started a tradition. He has completed the Gravel Worlds yesterday and a year ago today (150 miles) and both times we went out for sushi after. Last year, it was much later but this time he was hungry and showered and ready to go. I had Shokunin bookmarked, and it looked to be a very high quality sushi bar from the yelp reviews and photos. I dropped him off thinking it might have a wait as I found parking at the garage across from Pinnacle Bank Arena. By the time I walked over, he was at the sushi bar with a Sapporo.Our server was super cool. I did not get her name but she was wearing whale earrings and let us ask her 100 questions. We started with salmon belly and yellowtail belly nigiri, seaweed salad, a negihamachi hand roll, and 2 rolls: Shokunin super toro and super rainbow. It was beautifully plated and that fish was oozing fatty deliciousness. I had asked if the sushi bar was out of anything and the chef said only uni, to my dismay (it is so hard to get) but as we waited to order more, he had "one piece left" and gave me uni nigiri (not gunkan). It was shockingly huge (see photo) - like a big piece of fish rather than roe piled into the gunkan. I really lucked out with this treasure from the sea!Next, Eric R. opted for the spicy seafood ramen of which he barely made a dent and I packaged to go (we traveled with a cooler). I ordered mackerel and amaebi nigiri which included the fried heads, and we left deeply satisfied with our bellies full. The service was great, and the chef was really kind even though he was busy. A lot of people were sitting outside so the restaurant inside was not as crowded as I anticipated for a Saturday night. I would definitely return here and do think this tops the many sushi bars in this downtown area, of which there are quite a number! Itadakimasu!

Pretty good! I went for Happy Hour with some friends which was cheaper but not not much. The rolls were all pretty tasty, a good size and not overly sauced. Service was fine. The inside was had the same vibe as a lot of other smaller sushi places. A decent option for sure.

Great food and free miso soup. Relaxing ambience and friendly waiter. The steak teriyaki and tofu app was very good

Love this place! They had chicken katsu on their menu that i absolutely loved but unfortunately they took it off right after :/ but the service and ambiance was overall great.

Excellent food great service Sushi is very new to me but they are very helpful in describing everything and recommending things for me to try.Don't miss out on the soft shell crabGetting better every day with the chop sticks (my kids are pros)
