Tatsumizushi Sohonten

In Fukuoka run don’t walk to this wonderful sushi restaurant near the Hotel Okura. Amazing array of sush offerings by set menu or ala carte as well as some tempura. We loved the individualized attention from our private sushi chef. The prices were reasonable given the quality of food and service.

The food here 5/5 All dishes and Nigiri taste good. The price is reasonable for the set menu and dishes. (Around $120 per person), but the Nigiri sushi is way over priced. The Service is 3/5 The front manager was very friendly and professional. That’s the extra star on top of 3 stars. We ordere...d six dishes off the menu and they all throw out at same time. How can they do that, especially when this is a Omakase Restaurant. It makes you feel like you’re in a Chinese restaurant. Maybe I do look like Korean or Chinese. No chefs paid attention on us at all. The restaurant is not busy at all, so what’s the rush for? If any foreigner wants to experience how a Black people dines in a steak house in Texas, I promise you can find here. One of the chefs 2nd from the left, constantly had a dry cough every minute. And he used his left hand to cover his mouth each time when he coughed. WTF! If this is in India maybe it’s ok, but not in one of the G7 countries. This is almost is common sense issue. Thank the Lord he didn’t make my food. Maybe the local Japanese customers’ immure systems are super strong. Overall, it was a good food experience for the trip in Fukuoka, Anna-Maria ZowalAnna-Maria Zowal Local Guide · 51 reviews · 186 photos a month ago Very fresh and good sushi! Cook went above to explain to us and show what is it that we received on our plate. I am not biggest fan of sushi, but I enjoyed the time spend here very much

On the whole, we enjoyed our meal here. The Chef were quite flexible in catering to our needs. As one of my family is diabetic, he would not like to have too many sushi items with rice. The Chef then served us a mixture of sashimi and sushi. The sushi they served is innovative and nice. Recomm...ended to all.

This was the worst sushi-restaurant I've ever been in Japan. I asked my friend living in Fukuoka for 30 years and he totally agreed with me. He said this Tatsumi-sushi restaurant is known for the place where only travelers go because its pretty large sized (you never find good sushi-restaurants with... this size in Japan) and is located in the central part of Fukuoka. The price is way way too expensive. You can afford top class Tokyo Sushi restaurants with this price. Most of sushi comes with italian or french tastes added. Top class sushi restaurants with fresh fish ("neta") never do such things. I doubted that they add western tastes to cover up non-fresh smells of fishes. The worst part is their service. I was first welcomed friendly. But soon as I ｃcourteously told them to end serving endless non-sushi dishes and start serving sushi, the chef murmured pretty loudly "saisyokara ieyo baka. (Say so from the start, you stupid.)" Even another guest next me got angry with the chef's murmur (that's why I understood what the chef was saying). The chef completely ignored me till the end. My Fukuoka friend told me that this Tatsumi-sushi is for travelers and since they know we rarely visit Fukuoka again they treat me like that. In sum, the worst sushi ever. （英語が文字数でカウントされないので日本語で補足します。） サービスもネタの新鮮さも最悪の寿司屋でした。途中でお腹がいっぱいになってきたので「そろそろ握りに入ってください」と丁寧な口調で言ったら、「だったら最初から言えよ、馬鹿」と周りに聞こえるような独り言を言われました。怒りを通り越して驚きました。観光客専門店は客に鍛えられませんね。

We came here for lunch, and assuming they only did set menus, we went with the mid-range menu. That’s 9 pieces of sushi with starter and dessert. Quality was excellent. The kitchen is open and sitting at the sushi bar means everything made and served right in front of us. Everything was flavoured ...already so there was no need to dip into soy sauce or extra wasabi. The staff were friendly, though limited in English (standard in Japan of course!) so we were unfortunately confined to the menu so couldn’t order anything extra! Still, excellent sushi place and will probably come again!
