About Utamaro Sushi Bar

Utamaro Sushi Bar is a japanese in Sarasota, Florida. It is listed at 1900 Main St #107, Sarasota, FL 34236, which places it among the local businesses of Sarasota that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

This group covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and other Asian cuisines that are not Chinese, and the etiquette varies by kitchen. Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot.

Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Florida's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Wife & I came here for Father’s Day. Nice, cozy atmosphere. Small place. Not busy at all. On a main road. We started with the Edamame, served hot and tasty. Wife had the Teriyaki Chicken with veggies & white rice (she preferred fried rice, which was disappointingly extra) She enjoyed the chicken. I had the Eel roll & Friend roll, which I enjoyed. The rolls were surprisingly small, with very little sushi ☹️

Solid meal at Utamaro Sushi Bar on Main St. The sushi was good overall, but the real standout was the chicken teriyaki - genuinely excellent. One small ding: one person in our group waited noticeably longer than the rest of us for their sushi, which held up the meal a bit. Atmosphere is nothing fancy, just a basic, comfortable space. Solid 4/5 across food, service, and atmosphere - would go back.

Hands down the BEST mochi we have ever had! Ell sauce on our rolls was amazing. My 7yr old daughter wants to go back again!

Honestly have hesitated for YEARS to leave a glowing review because, shamefully, I’m afraid that more will discover this hidden gem as a result. This is truly the best sushi in Sarasota. The staff always treats us like family and often remembers our orders so we feel like we’re at a relatives home just enjoying our favorites. Everything is always so fresh, and so packed with flavor it’s like an explosive experience of fresh deliciousness. You won’t be disappointed, but also don’t go. OR ELSE. We love our perfect, delicious, and intimate space.

I’m honestly not sure why this place gets so much hype. Overall, the experience was average at best. As sashimi lovers, we were disappointed by the limited sashimi selection, with not much variety to choose from. The rolls also felt very similar to one another, lacking creativity or distinction. While the fish itself was fresh and the dishes were visually very well presented, the overall quality and flavor just weren’t there. Everything looked beautiful on the plate, but the taste didn’t live up to the presentation or the reputation. Considering the high prices, the experience felt underwhelming. For a restaurant with so much buzz, we expected more depth of flavor and a stronger overall execution. Unfortunately, it missed the mark for us.
