Very good fresh sushi, sashimi, teriyaki etc, made to order. Dine in or out. Excellent service, easy parking, unique location on the first floor of an architectural art deco landmark.

The best sushi in all of Rochester if not all of NY! We love the vibe and we love the food. Never any leftovers when we got to Shema Sushi. Great atmosphere and great service! Wish i could give more than 5 stars!

This is one of the best sushi I’ve ever eaten! The quality of the fish and rice was far beyond extraordinary. All of my friends were amazed by the quality of the fish and the fact that they had been properly seasoned. The spicy tuna roll was my ultimate favorite, it reminded me of the ones I had when I was a child that I still remember vividly. The staff members were so friendly and made us immediately feel as if we were a part of their family.

Wow- a legitimate sushi place. If you’re looking for a good sushi place in Rochester, you don’t have many options— however, Shema Sushi, is one of the few exceptions.

I’ve been to several sushi places in Rochester over the years and Shema Sushi is the best. The menu has everything you would want, with no frills, just well-made good food. Wonderful sake and beer options, too.

This is a great place to eat sushi in Rochester. I’ve ordered takeout here multiple times to have at home or the office. So far, I’ve had the best experience with the staff and the food.

First time visit, and wow wow wow. I had a great quick chat the night before via Facebook messenger to verify they were open tonight for dinner. They were quick to respond and gave great information as to when the best time to arrive would be. We showed up and our server was friendly and very helpful when we had questions about menu items. The sake she helped us land on was the best I’ve ever had and was so good with our meal. The sushi boat was a huge value for everything you got, side note those pickles on there are AMAZING and should be a side dish of their own! The rolls are high quality ingredients and flavorful. The dishes arrived to our table so quickly, it was incredible. Everything looked beautiful and tasted even better. Again, our server was a delight and attentive to us, we have many other items we want to try, having the menu to review on your phone before ordering is helpful and well labeled to help deciding easier. I’m already wanting more sushi! Thank you for such a great experience, and will be back again soon. Highly recommend anyone to give this restaurant a try.

This is my favorite sushi restaurant in town. The fish is always fresh and they are generous with the cut of sashimi/sushi. I can always count on Shema sushi to provide fish that melts in my mouth. You can tell that the chefs really care about the food they create. There’s also parking behind the building which helps.

We had an amazing time at Shema sushi today. We are a family of 5 with 3 kids. The place was busy when we got there so I expected slow service. But to our pleasant surprise we were seated and waited promptly. Food came out quickly as well. Everything was delicious. Especially impressed with the freshness and quality of the sushi. Their menus has many options for the entire family. We will definitely come back!
