Sekisui East is my favorite restaurant! Not just for sushi, but in general! I probably go more often than I should… but it’s difficult to pass up an opportunity to eat such delicious food and experience great service!

Warm, clean and the presentation of the food is Tee, clock it !! My oldest brother likes Sushi since highschool… sometimes I think we’re Twins.

Delicious, truly one of the best meals I have ever had! Chef cooks with love and you can tell in the food! Little more pricy than other options but definitely worth the extra! 10/10 will be back!

My wife and myself come here on average twice a month for date night. Marjory and Yuseff are great hosts and the food is always fantastic with rotating weekly specials. I have scoured the surrounding areas and this is the best by far. Not too fancy or trendy just great service and sushi, oh and apparently they have a great hot menu though I have only done the sushi.

When the sushi urge hits Sekisui East, never fails to satisfy the craving. They have a daily fresh board with amazing fresh sashimi offerings. Chef gentle moves me from a cooked sushi customer, to exploring more authentic uncooked options.

Sekisui East is one of three Sekisui restaurants in the Memphis area. All three are good and all three, curiously but in a good way, are allowed some autonomy when it comes to décor, menus, specials and other things. Of the three, East is my personal favorite. The restaurant has more windows and is quite well-lit -- a welcome change from just about every other sushi place in town (including its sister restaurants) that shows confidence in its products, preparation and staff. And they should be confident, because the sushi and the service is very good. The sushi menu is deep but easy to navigate and covers all the bases. Servers are quick to get your order, help with product descriptions, and generally pleasant to deal with. I like raw sushi, and can speak to the good quality of the tuna and the salmon. Nigiri and sashimi are fresh-smelling, served just below room temp and taste rich and clean. Rolls are well-constructed and well-filled with generous portions of fish. If they're not too busy, the very friendly chefs will make personalized rolls with ingredients of your choosing (within reason). Tipping the sushi bar is recommended -- they earn it.
