Sushi Avenue on Ponce

Very delicious sushi. A ton of options and very flavorful. A little bit on the pricer side but worth it in my opinion.

Sushi Avenue on Ponce never fails! I've been coming here for years and the service and ambiance is welcomed. I love sitting at the chefs table when I visit just to have amazing conversation as they prepare different rolls. If you're going to take the time to visit, make sure you check the hours because they do close and open back up for dinner.

One of our favorite and go-to spots for Sushi. We love Sushi Avenue and all of the food always tastes incredible! I'd highly recommend this spot for anyone in or near Decatur.

Sushi ave is definitely a hidden gem, you see it and go inside and everyone welcomes you with a smile and it's a great experience and the food is equally as amazing. the staff was so nice and the atmosphere is really a vibe

One of my top spots for sushi because of their very reasonably priced rolls, great service, and cozy interior seating. The couple times I've eaten here there's been a short wait to be seated but totally worth it. The Alaskan roll is my go-to and it always hits the spot. I'll definitely be back soon!!

First things first-- food was great. Delicious, even.The timing (and ambiance) not so much. My family attends Sushi Avenue on Ponce fairly regularly, and have consistently been hit by long waits and awkward seating situations. This time was no different. While there wasn't a wait this time, they gave us the option between sitting in a 1) extremely cramped three table section in which your elbows are quite literally touching the other table or 2) outside. We chose the latter. I don't have an inherent issue with outside, but Sushi Avenue's outside area almost seems like an afterthought. A few haphazardly placed metal chairs and tables make up their outside dining with a dash of greenery put in to simulate coziness. Perhaps the biggest grievance was the speed that the food came out. Our appetizer of Gyoza took nearly 15 minutes to come up, while our entrée (four sushi rolls) took 40. Our server was extremely kind and attentive during the process and apologized profusely for the slowdown ("we have one fast sushi chef and one slow sushi chef-- you guys got the slow one"), but it did slow down our night a good bit. Overall the food and service was great, hence the 3 stars, but the rest was a bit lacking. I'd be happy to go back if the seating situation was better and the food came out at a reasonable time.

Hidden sushi gem. Menu options are great, including bento boxes. Sushi is fresh, service is great, perfect place for lunch in a nice neighborhood. No complaints.

This your girl Kai Daniell coming back w. Another review. So if you have been following my reviews, I have been in the gym all Spring putting in work! After I burned 1700 calories on the elliptical machine, I was looking forward to a good filling meal. Since I was craving oriental food (my favorite) and have not been to this spot. I decided to try it out. I decided to sit outside on the patio since it was the perfect time of day (5p) and it was so nice out. There was enough chairs and tables outside to sit. I had to go inside to let the host/waitress know I was sitting outside. The waitress was nice and she went over the menu w. Me since it was my first time. Everything on the menu just about had a picture w. A description. All the food looked so yummy. After playing any, many mighty, mo, I finally decided and ordered the Fried Oyster with Rice and Curry. It came with Miso. Soup and Ginger Salad. The wait time was under 15mins. Everything was delicious! 4 out of 5 rating because it took them a lil while to get back to me. People started coming in and I felt like I was forgot about for a minute. She did not come back to fill my glass up w. More water. Not even once.Overall, my first experience wasn't too bad here. At the end, she did ask me how was everything. And we shared small talk before she hurried away to the next table. I will definitely come back to try out other items on the menu and possibly bring a group of friends or a date!

Ordered the shrimp tempura and the egg rolls.The egg rolls tasted and look like they were something from the freezer in a grocery store and were extremely disappointing for $5.50. After 2 bites and seeing and tasting them, it was clear that I could not eat them. Management was unresponsive to my request to send them back and to order a sushi roll as a replacement (of course I would pay the difference in price).The shrimp tempura was a huge disappointment. Though the shrimp part of the tempura was nicely cooked, it appeared that they took a long shrimp and cut long pieces off of it to save money and put tons of breading on not only on the sides, but also an extra inch of breading top and of the tempura. It was so much breading that I had to pull a lot of it off just to be able to eat the shrimp. They used to have really good shrimp tempura a number of years ago, I don't know what happened but clearly corners are being cut with cost. And shrimp tempura was $20 so when would hope to get a decent portion of shrimp on each tempura. I'm hoping there will be a way that I can post the photos somewhere here so you can see what I'm referring to. The actual shrimp itself was about the width of the chopstick or in my case just a little more narrow than my baby finger and I'm under 5 feet tall and have very small fingers...Anyway clearly I was very disappointed in my entire meal though the ginger dressing was good but also watered down.The soup that came with my meal wasn't terrible but it had barely had a couple of little scraps of tofu in it and the Miso was also watered down.As far as the ambience goes, that was not bad it's a nice little restaurant physically, and was very busy though Im still trying to figure out why?

This is our go-to neighborhood sushi spot. Good food, family friendly and reasonable prices. Just know that the wait times can be long at peak hours!
