Flying Sushi, nestled in Tacoma, WA, has swiftly captured the hearts of sushi enthusiasts. With a diverse menu, diners rave about the freshness and quality of the fish, with many claiming it’s the best they've experienced. Myles Caddell praises its gluten-friendly options, noting the care staff take to provide a safe dining experience for celiac customers. The standout feature for many reviewers is the unique rolls each boasting rich flavors and creative presentations; Madison highlighted the Manhattan roll, a delightful twist with soy paper. Mini Rouge's experience revealed an exciting blend of spicy chicken teriyaki and gyoza, commending the balance of flavors rather than mere heat. Equally impressive is the service — guests like Dan Morrill describe the staff as friendly and knowledgeable, often going above and beyond to enhance the dining experience. Additional accents include complimentary dishes like the nigiri, appreciated by Kayla Westpheling, who emphasizes the tenderness of the fish. Fast service and a welcoming atmosphere make Flying Sushi not just a place to eat, but an experience to remember. If you’re seeking top-notch sushi with distinct flavors in a friendly environment, this restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Outstanding sushi, probably the best we've had in years. Incredibly celiac safe with knowledgeable staff on avoiding gluten (GF soy sauce and real crab!). The service was spectacular and the food was top notch. Cannot recommend enough.

This place is excellent! We had two California rolls, gyoza, and spicy teriyaki. All super yummy. I loved that the spicy chicken teriyaki had the vegetables mixed in instead of the side. I love spicy food so take this with a grain of salt but I'm calling this heat slightly over mild, but not quite medium. It is a comfortable little kick I didn't think I would like the rolls since the rice looked thinner than I'm used to but the flavor was absolutely there! I also got the regular fried gyoza which was awesome (dipping sauce too), but there is also steamed on the menu if you rather. My order was pickup so I didn't interact with the staff much, but they were all super welcoming and friendly when I walked in. We will be back for sure!!

This was by far the best sushi I have ever had. The fish was so tender and I even received a complimentary nigiri, which I have never tried before. It was amazing and I can’t wait to go back.

Great experience tonight. Go for the special rolls in the back of the menu. The spicy pepper tuna was amazing. Fresh and very tasty. Wonderful waitress with great knowledge of the food. It was packed so people had to wait. Overall five stars

Amazing food, probably one of my favorite sushi restaurants now. They have such unique options, some I haven't seen on any other menus. The Manhattan roll was probably what made the meal. Amazing roll with soy paper rather than sushi. Bento was amazing, worth the price. You get two meats for bento #1, teriyaki salmon and teriyaki chicken. Their miso and salad was also very delicious. Their service was incredibly fast we didn't even finish our soup by the time our food was out. And everyone was so friendly, amazing atmosphere. I would 100% go again and recommend this place if you want to have some incredible food.

Great sushi! This place is absolutely charming and the service was exceptional! I highly recommend dining here. Our sushi was amazing, and the bento box was sooo good! Not to mention the cute little tea pot set up .. how fun :) What a little gem! We’ll definitely be back.

Great food and everyone very friendly! Only thing was they bring our food like 50 minutes after we order. But we understand because was Valentine’s Day’s!

Perfect in every way. Having sushi in Japan, San Francisco, Portland, and many restaurants in Seattle; every morsel was melt in the mouth. Service superb, food presented well. This is a real Japanese place. The rice for sashimi was perfectly done which is the test. Tea to teriyaki, shiso to sashimi wonderful. Thank you.
