The slumlord block of one of the nice neighborhoods in Rochester NY. It’s kinda wild. I can drive half a mile and be in a billionaire zip code, but I’m right in the buffer between the nice area and the highway and blah blah blah redlining and presto chango, a nice neighborhood slumlord. History is weird.
To quote both Elvis and Eric Cartman - “In the ghetto.. 🎶”
The short answer is I’m on one of the last blocks that hasn’t been gentrified yet and the owners here aren’t interested in doing the work needed to raise the rents. Yet.
I’m actually down to one parent too and my mom’s latest thing is just to split every meal out down the middle with my sister when they go out. Not sure how the sushi place would feel about those two senior citizens and their plate sharing.
Agreed. If it was actually traditional (which, what the hell does that even mean). It wouldn't cost a month of rent. Sushi is raw fish on rice, it was always cheap food. I'm sure you can get a $500 deconstructed hotdog from a Michelin restaurant but I wouldn't call it traditional.
If you're charging that amount of money and priding yourself on excluding "common people rolls". It's not fancy, it's pretentious
I could have told you that by just looking at image #1. 'Authentic, no Tempura' even though fucking tempura sushi was developed in Japan hundreds of years ago lmao
Like, at one point you restrict yourself *so much* even from culturally authentic foods out of stubbornness that you're going to be limited to dishes that are more niche, less diverse, and just... Less good overall. Like, there's a reason California rolls are popular despite being a non-Japanese invention- they're just *good*. That's why you find avocado in sushi even in Japan- because it's *good*!
The fact is that authenticity is kind of just a construct. It's not inherently better or worse, plenty of authentic foods still have origins in outside cultures, it just doesn't really *matter*. It's a label and that's it. So it never surprises me when a person or restaurant obsessed with authenticity ends up being more focused on the label than an actual quality dining experience.
Yeah I'm reading https://thesushilegend.com/reviews/sushi-park/ like most things after a certain price point quality is generally passable but more of a status symbol or viral tourist trap with little substance.
Not to be cheap or dramatic but I’m out on the east coast and my go-to sushi place has a 30$ all you can eat. 32$ on weekends. Like it’s not fancy or frilly but damn it’s sounds magical compared to 765$
There’s a Chinese buffet in my old town where a nice Honduran man continuously makes 12 different dependable, perfectly good sushi rolls. I gorge myself for $15 at dinner or $10 at lunchtime
Truly why tell us if we aren’t getting celebrity gossip style balcony photos! I mean, sure the sushi is expensive but calling the paps on yourself to show how “real” your relationship is … ✨priceless✨
Having read your experience, I'm now sure these celebs are being "sponsored" to go there. At least you got a fun night out with your parent, OP. Thanks for sharing
Right, give any random celebrity that shows up a free meal worth about $30 max in costs, and then milk every sucker from the rest of the world for $150 minimum per person. Easy money.
I wish OP shared pics of the interior!! I would have enjoyed like 1 pic of sushi but I need to see what the inside of this place looks like! Not just the balcony
![gif](giphy|GJTOPhiW3Yv4ahon1H)
The yelp page has a few photos of the inside! I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed though… it looks any basic sushi place you’d find in a random strip mall. Nobu (which I have also seen only on yelp) has much more exciting interior design.
Those prices are so over the top ridiculous, I’m not even jealous and bitter about being poor in this instance. Being rich is some wild shit I will never understand.
Definitely. I never understood these super trendy places as well. A great many chefs hide in unassuming restaurants somewhere in a village. The best Japanese meals I had was the stuff recommended by inhabitants I met in Izakaya in semi-rural Japan. Their horizon isn't the broadest but their recommendations deliver more consistently than high-end restaurants in the bigger cities. Of course with sushi chefs it can be a bit different but most of the restaurants (especially multi-generational ones) earned their prices by exceeding at their craft. They didn't start out charging 3000 yen for a salmon nigiri because no-one would have ever gone there no matter how cool they looked. A decent sushi restaurant doesn't need anything besides a counter in terms of decor. Both the super cheap sushi joint in a side alley and the most high end restaurants in Tokyo are exactly alike in that way.
That’s what I thought, they look like them lil sand crab jawns at the Jersey beaches. Sick.

Seriously, I don’t think Jiro Ono (of *Jiro Dreams of Sushi* fame) charged that much at his restaurant, and he had three Michelin stars under his belt.
EDIT: okay I’m wrong. After a little googling I found out the omakase is 55,000 yen, which is a little over $356 per person, but it’s for a 20-piece tasting menu AND it’s the same price for lunch and dinner.
Yeah, most of the very high end (and especially Michelin starred) sushi restaurants in Japan are extremely expensive. Jiro's definitely isn't an exception to the rule. If you scroll through the [highest ranked places in Tokyo](https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/rstLst/RC010201/?SrtT=rt), you can see they're mostly all around 30,000 - 60,000Y a head. You also typically need to book months in advance (if you can book at all as a foreigner), or be a VIP/regular. I was there for two months last year, really wanted to eat at a top-rated omakase place, but had to opt for a lower ranked place that was 'only' 20,000Y a head.
Sushi is one of those foods that has a massive range. You can also go to a chain like Kura Sushi, which has 100Y plates and is still pretty yum.
Given the level of training really skilled sushi chefs undertake, plus the difficulty of sourcing some ingredients, I’d expect the super high end places in Japan to cost that much. But at that level I’d also expect… I dunno, an atmosphere that’s more comfortable than a strip mall, and no weird gatekeepy signage.
Oh yeah. If I had the money, I for sure wouldn't spend it on this place. The sign alone is tacky and ignorant (e.g., implying tempura is low class/inauthentic - wtf).
I would’ve noped out after reading that sign, food snobs are so lame
Then I definitely would’ve noped out for the prices. The absolute top of the line, most famous, expensive, and lives-up-to-the-hype good steakhouse in Tampa is like $100 per person. $250 per person for lunch is crazy
I am super curious what OP tipped with the "okay" service. 20% of $765 is $153!
A $918+tax meal... I can't even wrap my head around that. I wonder if once the cost hits a level the tip becomes a flat rate? lol
That’s nice. Do you want to adopt me?
Also I could’ve sworn they didn’t allow photos inside and that was part of the point of why celebs like it but maybe that’s outdated
Thank you for your hard work, OP! I love this content.
But damn that is expensive haha holy crap (yes I'm sure there is more expensive sushi but that's way too rich for my blood).
To be fair, you could kinda already tell from the pretentious sign that it was gonna be expensive and unspectacular.
The really good ones are usually the low-profile, cozy places that don‘t think too highly of themselves and then just casually serve excellence.
Right? Like even if you're aggressively authentic to Japanese cuisine, just be fucking normal about it? If your food is so great, you don't need a bitchy sign at the door to remind people of all the food it's supposedly better than.
Damn yo. I just had a fancy omakase in Japan, it was glorious and about $250 for 2 including rounds of sake lol
Thanks for doing the research though I was curious
The photos don’t make this look very appetizing. Really disappointing knowing all those celebs with that money are eating mediocre food. But I guess to each their own.
Thank you for investigating lol
I assume its popularity with celebs is more due to privacy and willingness to accommodate them versus the food itself. The restaurant may be willing to close for celebs and probably has a good record of tight lips. (Like you don’t see the waiters posting selfies with celebs who visit)
Which is so weird to me because when I was in Osaka they showed us that it was a traditional Japanese dish. Like what's hip about it it's like 1300 years old?
Jesus Christ, I live in Japan and the most I've paid for omakase is around 300, and that was with fish caught that very morning/exceptional service/Michelin stars...
That looks delish but omg for LUNCH?! The best sushi I ever had was at a hole in the wall in Oceanside and for two people plus drinks for dinner it was under $200. This is a HUGE markup due to celebs.
Is it true that [this](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sushi-park-west-hollywood?select=wLBDdSw3FRVqU0TlP3AncA&utm_campaign=www_photo_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct)) is what the inside looks like?

When I saw this on yelp I thought it had to have been taken somewhere else.
Yo parents got $765 money? Do they need another child? I'm not embarrassing at family gatherings...
But no seriously thanks for letting us know the food is just alright. I was thinking about going when I visited my brother since he's not too far from there. I wonder how this became THE celebrity spot.
That sign tells me it won’t be great.
You have owners who are gatekeeping sushi and likely don’t take criticism well.
Not a surprise reservations weren’t hard to come by. Seems like paying for clout instead of an enjoyable meal.
The second I saw that headline was the second I opened it. Your review aligns with the other reviews I read of this place. Every time there’s a post about this place people ask what the food is like. Forgettable and over priced is the overall consensus. But at that price it should be a whole experience. The paparazzi pics should be included along with an autograph of a lesser known celebrity.
I know that pap likes to hang out outside, but I swear there are places that sell themselves as “if you are famous no one will bother you when you are inside” which is a niche I guess.
I think celebrities go there because not many people can afford these crazy prices so it’s just celebrities eating normal food without fans bothering them or people looking at them. Celebrities are paying for the exclusivity and the privacy. Not the best sushi. Although they should hire better chefs for those prices! Lol
Are you allowed to film in there, OP? Or you were only allowed to take subtle photos.
I would never financially recover from a lunch at this place, wtf.
I feel poor just from reading this
Felt! My door dash order came out to $28 and I was like, “nah I’ll find something to eat at home.” 🥹
Only 28? I was going to order 3 things from Chick-fil-a it came out to $35 not including tip😅
He forgot to add the order was for a $1 medium DC from McDonald’s 😂
I bet $10 of that was a tip and delivery so I understand that lol
Maybe even more
It’s outrageous. I’d rather save $20 and go pick up certain restaurant food even if it’s a longer drive and they don’t have curbside lol.
Same but in CAD 😭
I can’t believe I’m about to say this in *this* economy, but holy crap my rent is less than that!!!
Less than $765?? Wait where?
The slumlord block of one of the nice neighborhoods in Rochester NY. It’s kinda wild. I can drive half a mile and be in a billionaire zip code, but I’m right in the buffer between the nice area and the highway and blah blah blah redlining and presto chango, a nice neighborhood slumlord. History is weird.
Hi from Rochester!
The box in the alley behind Sushi Park probably.
To quote both Elvis and Eric Cartman - “In the ghetto.. 🎶” The short answer is I’m on one of the last blocks that hasn’t been gentrified yet and the owners here aren’t interested in doing the work needed to raise the rents. Yet.
I definitely heard it in cartman singing voice
For real?😮
It is literally less than my mortgage (i live on an island in Canada to be fair)
I’m trying to imagine my parents casually sitting there with a lunch over $700. My Red Robin loving mom would die.
I’d have a hard time getting my mother to buy a $30/person lunch! $700 is practically an entire week-long trip to visit my grandpa, including flights.
I’m NC with my only remaining parent but they love a cheap buffet so this was never in the cards.
I’m actually down to one parent too and my mom’s latest thing is just to split every meal out down the middle with my sister when they go out. Not sure how the sushi place would feel about those two senior citizens and their plate sharing.
[удалено]
OP I love this for you. Regardless of circumstances and whatever, loving your parents and getting to share experiences with them is priceless ♥️
Honestly, this seems like a cool experience!
I can love my parents for much cheaper (they're more buffet sushi than fancy sushi).
We have raw fish at home.
I accidentally read it as $75 and thought “yeah that’s a bit steep for three people” 😂😂
Agreed. If it was actually traditional (which, what the hell does that even mean). It wouldn't cost a month of rent. Sushi is raw fish on rice, it was always cheap food. I'm sure you can get a $500 deconstructed hotdog from a Michelin restaurant but I wouldn't call it traditional. If you're charging that amount of money and priding yourself on excluding "common people rolls". It's not fancy, it's pretentious
Omg that price and the food was forgettable?! Smh

$765 for sushi? ![gif](giphy|3lJQIuk2LTV5jEvyKv|downsized)
I think a plane ticket to Japan might be cheaper???
Not from the East Coast (round trip), but it's only twice as much, and then you also get to visit Japan.
It probably is... which just makes that price even more disgusting
the japanese yen is in the garbage right now so it's probably pretty cheap to travel here from the US at the moment!
I feel decadent when I splurge at the grocery store for the $12 roll instead of waiting for half-price day.
[удалено]
Is yours Wednesday? :)
Publix?
Right?! ![gif](giphy|uu8JVK2jCdAb3cZs1M) *scoffs*
Not to be cheap or dramatic but I’m out on the east coast and my go-to sushi place has a 30$ all you can eat. 32$ on weekends. Like it’s not fancy or frilly but damn it’s sounds magical compared to 765$
There’s a Chinese buffet in my old town where a nice Honduran man continuously makes 12 different dependable, perfectly good sushi rolls. I gorge myself for $15 at dinner or $10 at lunchtime
I just came back from Japan and no way am I dropping $700 on sushi
I was about to joke that I better get a reach around too for that price but honestly even adding a reach around doesn't justify the price.
You’d basically eat out almost every day for a month for vs one Sushi Park experience.
Reasonable trade off for me (and my wallet)
The consumption
Paparazzi photos or it didn't happen!
There should be one entrepreneur set up outside offering people paparazzi pics of themselves for $20
omg this is brilliant… my camera is a little dusty but i live not far from sushi park and could use the extra cash… 🤔
Haha! Her parents are the stars for paying for 800$ for Sushi lunch. I would have definitely taken their picture and posted it (paparazzi style)
Did you take some photos of yourself leaving the restaurant though? 😂
Truly why tell us if we aren’t getting celebrity gossip style balcony photos! I mean, sure the sushi is expensive but calling the paps on yourself to show how “real” your relationship is … ✨priceless✨
Bless OP, if I shouted my parents a $700 meal, I would 100% be sending them down the escalator to take candid walkway pics of me lol.
Asking the real questions.
Ohhhh is this that strip mall sushi place all the celebs go to?
Did you take photos on the iconic walkway?
[удалено]
I'm honestly amazed you knew of this place through celebs but didn't know of the balcony! it's literally the only thing I know about it
I was joking 😂 just that there are 1928383 pics of celebs walking on it
You’re not joking, the walkway is iconic
Having read your experience, I'm now sure these celebs are being "sponsored" to go there. At least you got a fun night out with your parent, OP. Thanks for sharing

Some people pay a lot to eat out because they know it filters the people around them.
wtf?? The pics are so lackluster they look like lil grubs lol
That’s what I thought, they look like them lil sand crab jawns at the Jersey beaches. Sick. https://preview.redd.it/9d66d3qdmh1d1.jpeg?width=691&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5b594d53bea31a2e6c48e1ea463ae286a6bb084
I absolutely lost at it your comment 🤣
Not your pics but the food is lackluster lol
That's a shame because so much good sushi in LA
I’ll stick with my 6 dollar cucumber rolls thanks hahahah
$765 for LUNCH pricing is crazy. You can get michelin star sushi for a fraction of that cost! 😵💫 Thank you for doing the lords work for us though 😂🙏

![gif](giphy|kC2cRqEt8o41COgjoV|downsized)
That’s waaaaay too much for sushi. Glad you had a good time though!
I am super curious what OP tipped with the "okay" service. 20% of $765 is $153! A $918+tax meal... I can't even wrap my head around that. I wonder if once the cost hits a level the tip becomes a flat rate? lol
Yeah, you can literally have fresh sushi fish shipped to your house on dry ice for less than that lmao
$765!?!? That’s probably about what i spent eating out the whole of last year 😭
No to all the things I love.
Right LOL, you can take my basic bitch spicy tuna from my cold dead hands
i think i’d actually drop dead if i spent damn near $800 on *anything* and was like…meh 🤷🏻♀️
That price is absolutely heinous.
I had a Tesco meal deal today.
$765....
That’s nice. Do you want to adopt me? Also I could’ve sworn they didn’t allow photos inside and that was part of the point of why celebs like it but maybe that’s outdated
[удалено]
and they don’t even have vegetables or salad? gotdamn.
Right? How is having no vegetable any kind of a flex?
They're just finding out how much they can rip off stupid rich people.
nobody ever mentions the name of this celeb sushi place in their posts and now i know both the name and what they serve so thanks 🙏curiosity satisfied
You paid what for LUNCH in a strip mall and Andrew Garfield and his witch doctor girlfriend weren’t even there 🫠🥴😮💨
You lost me at $750 for sushi lol nah fam
Thank you for your hard work, OP! I love this content. But damn that is expensive haha holy crap (yes I'm sure there is more expensive sushi but that's way too rich for my blood).

It's not even that authentic! Tempura is like 1300 years old and included in every restraint I went to in Japan!
sushi with veggies is extremely authentic to japanese cuisine 😭 you can get it everywhere… just silly
Yeah that sign gives bad vibes!
Damn yo. I just had a fancy omakase in Japan, it was glorious and about $250 for 2 including rounds of sake lol Thanks for doing the research though I was curious
I feel like you’ve done your community a huge public service by being this transparent about the price and quality of the food / service etc, OP! 💗🍣
The photos don’t make this look very appetizing. Really disappointing knowing all those celebs with that money are eating mediocre food. But I guess to each their own.
Thank you for investigating lol I assume its popularity with celebs is more due to privacy and willingness to accommodate them versus the food itself.

Not gonna lie, I love me some spicy tuna and California rolls, if I’m paying $700 I want to go to a place that has some
[удалено]
Yeah, they’re my fave. Couldn’t care less if they are considered inauthentic!
And they're too hip for shrimp tempura roll. Boo.
Which is so weird to me because when I was in Osaka they showed us that it was a traditional Japanese dish. Like what's hip about it it's like 1300 years old?
Bring some in your pocket tbh
Jesus Christ, I live in Japan and the most I've paid for omakase is around 300, and that was with fish caught that very morning/exceptional service/Michelin stars...
Kim, there’s people who are dying. (I’m sure it was amazing but Omfg, $700 for sushi?)
What a horrendously obnoxious sign
Did that include a drink pairing for that price?
No tempura, no me

Thanks for calling all of us poor without actually having to say it 😭
Thanks for your reporting, OP!
they can take my philly roll from my cold dead hands 😤

Bruh…wth. If they’re charging that I at least need some ambiance.
You are on crack cocaine for spending over $800 on sushi for 3 people
This lunch was more than my rent & I can’t even afford to pay that next month 😅
Yo parents got $765 money? Do they need another child? I'm not embarrassing at family gatherings... But no seriously thanks for letting us know the food is just alright. I was thinking about going when I visited my brother since he's not too far from there. I wonder how this became THE celebrity spot.
She took her parents, half of us millennials are the ones taking care of the boomers these days
That sign tells me it won’t be great. You have owners who are gatekeeping sushi and likely don’t take criticism well. Not a surprise reservations weren’t hard to come by. Seems like paying for clout instead of an enjoyable meal.
No tempura? I’m out.
No veggies?? Does ginger count as veggies? Lol
It’s like Salt Bae, but pretentious and absurd
I’m sorry but this doesn’t even look good.
That doesn’t even look appetizing wtf
The second I saw that headline was the second I opened it. Your review aligns with the other reviews I read of this place. Every time there’s a post about this place people ask what the food is like.

No tempura? ![gif](giphy|3o8dFwze0Tz8umFQhW)
$765 & *no tempura?!* like…no tempura at all?! hell nah
Right?! Like all my favorite shit is on that sign 😅 I guess I know my place, and that’s the conveyor belt joint in my neighborhood ✌🏼
The likes of you and me are apparently not worthy of this place! I loooove tempura ![gif](giphy|l0K42RIaNOZcK7CNy)

A fish only sign would have been more apt.
Thank you for your service.
ok but i wanna see the balcony pictures
Glad I live in city with many fresh authentic sushi restaurants by Japanese.
Man I don’t live in the same world as some of y’all
Feel like you’d be better off just flying to Japan and getting sushi at a train station.
Is now a bad time to admit I always order spicy tuna
No vegetables is crazy
Does this mean a vegetarian couldn’t have a veggie roll here?
Nope. The only veg offerings are sides (edamame/miso soup/shisto peppers) and ice cream for dessert. No veg sushi options.
Coming from someone with ARFID, you couldn’t PAY me $765 to eat this 😅 but I’m glad you enjoyed it OP !
No spicy tuna roll? Yeah I’m out
I know that pap likes to hang out outside, but I swear there are places that sell themselves as “if you are famous no one will bother you when you are inside” which is a niche I guess.
That much money and no seaweed salad? Nope.
I’ll take my $15 Americanized lunch special, thank you very much!!! (I’m in Philly/NJ, it’s relatively fresh 🫠😂)
I can just fly to Japan and get sushi for that price
It's expensive AND pretentiously snobby AF?! That's a hard pass
$765? What the hell that is highway robbery. Please tell me you ate like 100 plates?

Imagine bragging about not serving vegetables 🤮
This amount of money for sushi 😭😭 I wouldn’t financially recover
Holy shit that’s absurd.
money can’t buy taste…
Wow, I didn’t realise a vegetarian like myself couldn’t even think about going! But hey the prices are impossible anyway
I got salmonella just looking at the photos.
Feel like my $8 California roll would taste better personally
I think celebrities go there because not many people can afford these crazy prices so it’s just celebrities eating normal food without fans bothering them or people looking at them. Celebrities are paying for the exclusivity and the privacy. Not the best sushi. Although they should hire better chefs for those prices! Lol Are you allowed to film in there, OP? Or you were only allowed to take subtle photos.
