Orion Sushi

The sushi rolls here are delicious. Great selection of specialty rolls as well as classic rolls. Their sashimi portion sizes are generous, staff are always friendly, and the restaurant has a relaxed feel.

A hidden gem in Lakewood. Exceptional quality sushi, great service and the they care about presentation. So many sushi restaurants have let the presentation element dwindle to nothing more than a fancy plate but not here. I had the new style sashimi appetizer with yellowtail and salmon in a ponzu sauce and garnished with herbs and tobiko. Excellent start. Then came the Aburi style seared nigiri topped with Japanese mayo, scallop and two kinds of salmon. The scallop was the star of this course, so good I reordered it. Then the salmon belly sashimi entree, absolutely amazingly good. Served on ice topped with daikon radish and a hidden pulsing neon light. Fun. Then the Black Dragon roll with spicy crab and tempura shrimp inside, rolled and topped with avocado and freshwater eel and garnished with eel sauce and sesame seeds. This was the only disappointment as this roll would have benefited from more of the savory eel sauce. Of course they have a nice selection of sakes and Japanese beers

The most important thing is that they served quality sushi and could tell they were serious about the quality of their food. The prices were very reasonable and had many options for the budget spender or the high roller. It was operated by a talented and friendly staff. It stood out that the server was observing our needs every time he passed by. He was eager to answer questions and take care of the customers needs. This was impressive, because he had quite a few tables to tend to. I was not expecting this from what appeared to be a hole in the wall sushi place. I am eager to return and see what else they have to offer. After a few visits the quality and care for service and food have surpassed my expectations. I am pretty picky about food especially sushi...yet this establishment has given me no complaints. Well done Orion Sushi.
