Screaming Tuna has paired sushi with an explicit commitment to sustainable seafood since opening in 2011. Nigiri and sashimi share the menu with inventive rolls and cooked plates, while river views from the Walker's Point dining room give the meal a setting that matches the restaurant's aquatic focus.

Kawa gives sushi and ramen equal attention from its Murray Avenue kitchen. Carefully sliced fish appears as nigiri, sashimi, and composed rolls, while slowly developed broths serve diners seeking something warm. That dual focus lets one East Side table move naturally between raw preparations, noodles, and small Japanese plates.

Sushi Yuki reflects the disciplined training of a Tokyo Sushi Academy graduate, emphasizing clean cuts, properly seasoned rice, and carefully sourced fish. The compact Bay View restaurant keeps the presentation direct, allowing nigiri, sashimi, and restrained rolls to show the balance of texture and temperature central to the craft.

Hungry Sumo offers Bay View a wide sushi selection without limiting the kitchen to elaborate rolls. Guests can mix sashimi and nigiri with creative combinations, Japanese appetizers, and cooked entrees, making the Kinnickinnic Avenue dining room flexible for experienced sushi diners and companions who prefer something from the grill.

1033 Omakase seats a small number of guests for a reservation only sequence chosen by the chefs. Carefully sourced fish, seasoned rice, and precise garnishes arrive one course at a time, with the First Street counter encouraging direct conversation about technique, provenance, and the progression of the meal.
