Sushinami

My dad is an avid fisherman so my palate is what one would consider spoiled. I’m not one to consume fish beyond the safety net that is California and yet I was dragged along and pleasantly surprised. My friends Bern and Sarah have a weekly Thursday ‘Asian Night,’ which has exposed me to cute hole-​in-​the-​walls with well priced cuisine. Sushinami, in spite of its minimal seating, is efficient and filling. I’ve gone for lunch (€ 10) and dinner (€ 16.80) and I’ve come to the conclusion that dinner is a far better option considering how most of the tables are reserved during lunch time which often results in parties being turned away or sitting at the limited sushi bar (seats 4).
My favorite combination of dishes would have to be: the salad, the miso, the tiger roll/​ebiten, then the tempura. As a studentessa who has no soldi (aka broke female NYU student) I found Sushinami to be a nice respite from the Pasta Land that is Firenze. Their salmon is fresh and I love that the Tiger satiates my desire for something crunchy with some raw fish (it’s a tempura shrimp roll topped with slivers of salmon). My friend Stevanica loves this place– from the quick wifi down to the reasonable price. Did I mention it’s all you can eat?
Food. Coma. Galore.

Horrible experience recently.
Do not go «Sushinami» for their Lunch hours (Lunch special all you can eat.)
I went to restaurant with diverse group of people last week.
I was really excited and I wanted to introduce sushi & asian food to people who i met in here.
Overall, it turned out it was one of the worst experience i had it so far in Italy.
I do not understand way they do business.
Owner does not appreciate people who are coming here for lunch buffet. (we arrived around 1pm)
They kept pushing and telling us that kitchen will be close soon (we still have one hour left it was around 1:30pm).
And owner even said we are «Running out of fish, we don’t have enough fish for your group»
About ten minutes later, we found out that there are 2 group coming for non-​buffet reservation (group of 2 and group of 4 people)
If you made a promise with customer for time of lunch special!
Do not discriminate customer ! You better stick with the original promise with them.
I would not recommend this place for any other my foreigner friend or tourist.

I think this place isn’t bad for 10 euros all you can eat sushi for lunch between the hours of 12:00 — 15:00! It’s a really small place, probably not worth going with like more than 4 people at a time. Everything in their menu is part of the all you can eat which is nice.
I tried all the nigiri they offered, which were all basic fish like shrimp, salmon, tuna, and sea bass. I liked the quality of the fish a lot! The rolls they offer here are pretty basic, with some a little unusual than others (tiger roll, sakura roll, ebiten); i liked the ebiten roll the most (had shrimp and potato chips? Wha.) and the basic california roll & spicy tuna. All their portions are pretty small, so I wouldn’t complain if I kept ordering more! They offer hand rolls, little rice dishes with fish on top (cirashi), maki rolls, and sushi boxes. Only sashimi they offer is a 4pc serving of salmon. Their miso soup comes in the cutest little bowl with a lid on top!
Don’t know if I’ll come here again, but it is a great alternative if you’re sick of pasta, pizzas, paninis for a reasonable price.

Came here for lunch, they have a special of all you can eat 12:00 — 15:00 for 10 Euros! Their menu is mostly salmon but their spicy tuna roll is really good. I’d recommend this place for a cheap and filling lunch if you’re sick of pasta and want a change!
