Asked the sushi chef what was the freshest fish. He gave me 3 types of fish. I ordered hamachi and tuna nigiri and it was not fresh at all. Smelled and tasted like it had been soaked to pull out the old fish smell. All of the fish choices I had were opaque and a little sticky. Not clear as fresh fish is when it is fresh. I get it that not all sushi eaters know the difference. That is why I asked before I ordered. When I returned it, no one said a thing. No offer for another fish that was fresh. I understood that to mean they did not have anything fresher. The vegetable roll was very good.
Used to come here back in my high school days, hadn’t been in over a decade. Went twice in the last 2 weeks because it’s just as amazing as I had remembered! Rolls were fantastic, fresh and flavorful. Pricing was actually cheap to me considering what rolls cost at other places locally. Will definitely keep coming back for more!
I've been a loyal customer of Hooks Sushi Bar for over 20 years, and I can't praise them enough. Although the restaurant is small and has a vintage vibe, the food is outstanding, and the customer service goes above and beyond. I'll continue to visit as long as I'm in Saint Pete. Food: 5/5
The fish isn’t fresh and doesn’t have a taste. The salmon nigiri was especially disheartening. The udon broth is too sweet. The edamame is overcooked. The seaweed salad was fine. The presentation is pretty and the staff is friendly. Super disappointing food. Do not recommend

I love this place! I usually get the Bibimbap, which is delicious, but today I tried the New Year’s roll, and it was both tangy and flavorful. The service is always excellent, and the food is fantastic. I would definitely recommend it, 10/10!
The food and atmosphere is absolutely wonderful. I'd recommend the shrimp rangoons and sushi nachos absolutely delicious! I had the bibimbap, which was pretty good but their sushi is really where they shine. Go check them out!Food: 5/5
This place consistently ranks as one of the best sushi options in downtown St. Pete for its price range. I've dined here multiple times and have never had a negative experience. Food rating: 4/5.
Best sushi in town. Have been going here for years. It?s worth the wait. Also they are open for lunch and have a great take out system. Definitely check this place out !
