Comment: This is maybe my favorite sushi restaurant in STL! The calamari is amazing, although a bit on the pricey side. I always get the American Idol roll. I have tried the bulgogi don, shrimp & veggie tempura, and a few others of their rolls. Everything is always delicious!

Comment: The best sushi place in the area! Ive never had anything here that I wouldnt recommend. We often get the bulgogi roll and the Corona, both are excellent. The fish is always fresh and the rice is always perfectly cooked. They also have outstanding gyoza and other appetizers. And dont forget to ask for fresh wasabi!

Comment: Ive been going here fairly frequently with friends and the sushi is amazing every time. Service can be hit or miss mainly because they, like everywhere else, are experiencing staffing issues. I completely understand and still highly recommend them. Ive had an enjoyable experience every time and the food is worth every penny.

Comment: Wonderful food. Elegantly presented sashimi, sushi, takoyaki, gyoza, udon, don buri (bowls of food), and other Japanese options. Many many types of sushi rolls. In total, there is not only more than standard Japanese fare, but it is also delicious, high quality, and beautifully presented. Many different sakes, mixed drinks, and Japanese beers along with international Gin, bourbon, tequila, rum options. They even have Japanese soda pop. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely decor with exquisite hand painted scenes. I had been there once before and couldn’t wait to go back for seconds to show my adult son who also, this day enjoyed his food immensely.

Comment: The food was great! The food pictured is the tuna tower, double crab (roll on the left), and the corona (roll on the right) we will eat here again because the food was worth it. I gave them a 4 star rating because the staff wasn’t friendly and weren’t very attentive. After being seated it took almost 20 minutes for them to ask about drinks and after asking it took them another 15 minutes to bring out our waters which never got refilled. And the rest of the meal the service was the same way. Hopefully they can get better staffed soon!

Comment: For Sushi in St Louis I would rank Izakaya Ren as 1) having the best service of any top tier Sushi Restaurant in STL and 2) for the price the best Sushi.The quality of ingredients and skill taken to prepare at times seems lost on the patrons or they are just fully unaware how rare it is to be served REAL wasabi with their sushi instead of the standard green horseradish paste.Easily the most underrated sushi place in all of St Louis.

Comment: We dined inside last Friday -- first inside dining since COVID. Food was terrific as always. The hamachi collar was piping hot and delicious. We also had Unagi Don, which was also wonderful, and the sushi fish was fresh and tasty. Our server, Brendan, gave us super quick service and was really helpful with picking out menu items so that we could get enough to eat without over-ordering. (We usually just get sushi and rolls but wanted to try some new things.) Our favorite local sushi.

It isnt cheap, but the fish and ingredients are freah-- and when is sushi ever cheap? The atmosphere is semi casual. Take out available during covid, which is appreciated. Try the shrimp bomb!!

Comment: Excellent sushi! We ordered 10 different rolls and each were unique and had a very different flavor. Highly recommended the spider roll here. Their sake and hot green tea are also excellent. Prices are good for the quality youre getting, but dining with the whole family can get a little expensive. Will eat here again.

We had an impromptu date night and went here instead of another sushi restuarant we typically go to. Let me just say that their rolls were so phenomenal that my husband now LOVES sushi. He said, The other place is fine. But this sushi is fantastic! We will definitely be back for more date nights!

Comment: Hidden gem of a sushi place. The outside is pretty standard and unassuming but thats where the blandness stops. Their dinning room seems to be the perfect size for their business and includes booths, free standing tables, high tops, and a small bar area. The staff is always happy to see you and make the experience. Their sushi rolls are delicious and of wide variety. Its more expensive than going to eat at a chain but a good price for sushi. Highly recommend for sushi fans in the area.

Service was great, food was fast and delicious!! Speed isnt usual case in a sushi restaurant. It was also beautiful, no corners cut even though we were the only table.

The staff is so nice, most of the time I get really good service. Ive learned there are certain servers who are knowledgeable about menu items and more attentive, I will request them if I see they are available. I have been greeted as I step in the door as well as thanked on my way out every single time. If you are in the mood for sushi and dont want to be disappointed you definitely need to try this place out!*great happy hour menu*mochi ice cream!! (Mango and strawberry are the best flavors)

Comment: This is our new favorite sushi restaurant. The sushi is very fresh and they do an excellent job of creating wonderful sushi rolls, sashimi and sushi. Last time we were in the service was a little lacking but not to the point to Warrant a downgrade to four stars.

Comment: The sushi was amazing here. Got the American Idol roll, as well as the Philadelphia and yum yum scallops. Only thing, was I felt the place lacked in atmosphere a little.

Comment: Not a real izakaya, but a good sushi restaurant. Try their lemon drink, they make it in house. Bought a cup, ended up having a bottle.

Comment: Best sushi in St. Louis hands down, and will make you into a fan of takoyaki if you were not already. My only complaint would be that I wish they would bring back their Oknomiyaki. It was the only place to get authentic oknomiyaki and it is gone forever. :(

Comment: Weve been trying so hard to get over the loss of our favorite sushi place, trying different restaurants all over town, and this one is the closest (and best!) one weve found yet! The gyoza was exactly what we were looking for, the sushi was delicious, and the chicken teriyaki don was full of flavor. We will definitely be back!

Comment: Very impressive! Great rolls - highly recommend the Volcano! If you like some well done slow spice, Hells Gate is excellent. Nice ambiance/decor, good service. Ive been to several of the very well known sushi places in STL (and other cities), and this one ranks right up there with any of them. Expect typical $8 - $10ish for standard rolls, and $12 - $15ish for signature ones, and completely worth it.

Comment: I... Love... This... Restaurant! We go very often and always get special rolls. The best one there is the Tuna Tower, it is an amazing tower of spicy tuna, a delicious formula of crab mix, avocado, and rice. The sauces that they have are amazing and not sickly sweet. The atmosphere is very nice and dark and the service is very nice. We were immediately welcomed when we walked in by the kitchen staff and owner in Japanese and were served very quickly. This is by far the best sushi restaurant in St. Louis.

Comment: Off the beaten path and youre unlikely to discover it when you search for Japanese food in STL unless they start paying google more for ad placement :) but I can say this is the most authentic izakaya in STL by far. Happy hour prices are very good. I think the owners are Korean because you see a lot of Korean staples mixed in with traditional Japanese izakaya fare. Both are excellent - highly recommend the bulgogi, staples like the Takoyaki and hamachi Kama, and kimchi fried rice. Also the sushi is very good for the price

Comment: This is by far m favorite restaurant in the Lou. It is quiet, friendly and the food is what I love. The owner is Korean and in addition to being a great sushi chef, he also makes the best Kal-Bi and Kimchi I have ever had. I grew up in Hawaii with many asian influences and Korean and Japanese were always my favorites. Izakaya Ren does a great job of incorporating the things I love best into a kind of fusion offering. An example; the Crunch Bulgogi Hand Roll. This is a japanese style sushi hand roll with Rice, Bulgogi (Korean bar b que beef), cucumber, srirachi mayo, and topped with tempura crumbles. I wake up in the middle of the night wanting those. My wife loves the Spicy Scallop Hand Roll or the Yum Yum Roll. Both have scallops and an awesome spicy sauce like nothing I have ever seen.The owner is a great guy. We always come with our 12-year old and he always comes by with a Ramune (Japanese soda). The staff is friendly and they always shout a welcome from the kitchen when you enter and a thank you when you leave.Oh, I almost forgot the best part...$1 second beer. I love the Japanese lagers and they have them all in the 22 Ounce bottles. Buy one (+/- $5.00) and the second is only a buck...all the time. I find myself getting a second even if I dont need it and a get a couple of glasses to share with other diners. Kind of fun that way.This is a great place, excellent for couples, happy hour or families.

Comment: Love this place!! The sushi is excellent! The Garlic tuna is my favorite. The chicken teriyaki is really good. The appetizer of the fried calamari is the best I ever had! Too bad Im conditioned to want marina sauce with it and there is none here. :( Over all worth coming here for the food. I live near here and it a regular place I go to.
