CRAVE American Kitchen & Sushi Bar

A meal with a view. CRAVE’s top-floor location offers fabulous views of downtown Rochester. We’re partial to the Godzilla roll. And here’s why: It includes spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, cream cheese, avocado, cucumber, seaweed salad, crunchy flakes, and a sweet sauce.

If your date doesn’t like sushi: You could leave ‘em at home. (We kid, we kid!) CRAVE offers an extensive menu that includes steak, seafood, burgers, chicken, pasta, poke bowls and more.

Also, this Yelp review: “My favorite is the Vegan Sunomono Salad. The vegetables are so fresh and the rice vinegar is delicious. My sushi was great! ... I had the Godzilla one night and the King Kong roll another night. Both were so good!” — Krista G.

Ootori Sushi

Like it hot? Try the Volcano. If you dare. This crab meat roll also includes “spicy tuna,” “spicy eel sauce” and “chili oil” in its ingredient list.

Not actually into sushi? Ootori’s menu includes salads and Japanese-style tapas.

If we had to pick favorites: We’d go with the Desert Storm (spicy tuna, avocado, cream cheese, crunchy carrot, spicy mayo, and sweet sauce) or the Stupid Cupid (fresh shrimp, avocado, cream cheese, crunchy carrot and sweet sauce).

Also, this Yelp review: “Ootori is amazing! I love their spicy salmon roll. ... The flavor, texture, composition is among the best sushi I’ve ever eaten, and I’ve been to Japan.” — Joseph M.

Ichi Tokyo (North and South)

Vivé la variety. Sushi is just part of Ichi Tokyo’s full menu, which also includes teriyaki and hibachi, entrees, fried rice, and more.

Fun fact: Ichi means “number one” in Japanese.

Crowd favorites. For us, it’s a toss-up between the Snow Mountain Roll (smoked salmon, avocado, cream cheese, snow crab and lobster sauce) or the Naruto Roll (spicy tuna crunch, caviar and avocado rolled in sliced cucumber).

Also, this Yelp review: “Lunch buffet ... is well worth the price. The sushi was incredible as were the gyoza, seaweed salad, teriyaki, and spring rolls. All this is included! Some of the best sushi and Asian food I have ever had!” — Michael B.

Wabi Sabi (12th Street SE and 1st Avenue Food Court)

Don’t miss the starters. Order a miso, egg drop, or spicy hot and sour soup with your meal. All three options get raves from customers.

Sushi for every taste. From the California Roll to the Spicy Tuna Roll, and the Salmon Roll to the veggie-friendly avocado and cucumber roll, there’s something for everyone in your lunch group.

In a rush? Wabi Sabi’s express location—in the First Avenue Food Court—offers take out sushi and ramen noodle bowls. (And bubble tea!)

Also, this Yelp review: “As soon as I stepped in the door I knew this was the kind of place that was going to have authentic Asian food. I ordered several items ... and everything was 5 stars. Loved the hospitality.” — Maribel T.

Kumo Sushi

Go with an empty stomach. Check out the restaurant’s all-you-can-eat lunch and dinner options. Not in the mood for sushi? Kumo Sushi’s miso, calamari, and ramen also get rave reviews.

Even in July: Try the Christmas Tree roll (shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, avocado, wrapped with green soybean paper). And we’re fans of the Rainbow roll with cucumber, avocado and crab meat topped with escolar tuna and avocado.

Also, this Yelp review: “Great place for some [all-you-can-eat] sushi. ... We enjoyed trying all the different bites of the menu, including the hand rolls, sushi, deep fried goodies, and soups. This is a value meal for the price.” — Kenny N.

Zen Fusion

Dinner and a show. In addition to sushi, the restaurant offers hibachi—with hibachi chefs adding an entertaining flair to your meal.

We may be biased. But we’re drawn to the Rochester Roll (fried jalapeno stuffed with spicy tuna and cream cheese, with eel, avocado, spicy mayo and eel sauce on the outside).

Taking “dog friendly” to a new level. Zen Fusion’s dog-friendly patio includes a menu especially for your four-legged friends. So go ahead and order Fido “The Scrappy” (fresh loin scrap cuts sauteed with white rice) or a “Frosty Paw Dessert” (doggy protein ice cream bar).

Also, this Yelp review: “Great food, best hibachi in town. Also the all you can eat snow crab is great! Sushi is off the charts as well. ... Favorite place to go in Rochester.” — Joshua Z.
