Food: Delicious yet unsatisfying

The Crunch Crunch Dragon Roll and Garlic Chile Edamame are true star performers at Fish In A Bottle Sushi & Grill. The fusion of ingredients displays creativity, and the freshness is very much palpable. Despite the praise in uniqueness and quality, the portions are a let-down and the overall food taste has collected some negative remarks.

  • Great Quality

    Ingredients always fresh, enhancing the overall sushi dining experience greatly.

  • Okay Taste

    Some found food average yet satisfactory, praising decent prices.

  • Small Portions

    Small portions disappointed customers, lacking satisfaction.

Vibe: Incongruous ambiance

Once inside, you're greeted by an ambiance that is everything but inviting. Your date night may be ruined by glaring lights and sharp noises, and a wait for table even after reservation just adds to the already bad impression. The exterior view hardly does justice to the inner quality, casting a misleading first impression.

  • Great Drinks

    Extensive selection of beers, wines, and sake during happy hour.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Ambiance disrupted by bright lighting, loud music, and uncomfortable seating.

Perks: Uneven convenience

Parking is one less worry, thanks to its ample availability, and the staff is often found to be competent in managing large groups. But if you are planning a family outing, be warned - this place doesn't score high on the kid-friendliness scale. There's also mixed feedback regarding the staff's service speed, input on friendliness, and seating time.

  • Great For Groups

    Staff was accommodating, efficient for a work happy hour of 20-25 people.

  • Okay Service

    Mixed feedback on service speed, staff friendliness, and seating time.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Even with a reservation, the wait for tables is unacceptably long.
