Editorial Review for Hide Sushi – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
A crowded seating area fills with local Japanese families and trendy Westsiders. Dine-in customers add their names to the list and wait for seats while takeout orders are processed like clockwork. The menu's 40-plus sushi choices concentrate on simplicity: liberal portions of monkfish liver and sweet shrimp are as exotic as it gets. Nigiri and chirashi are standouts on an abbreviated raw-and-cooked combinations menu. In an effort to streamline operations, there are no specialties, no desserts and no hostess.

Used to go here alot, Never been WOWED. Lots of Japanese patrons so I guess they must be doing something right! Lots on the menu, fish is fresh but not as fresh as Komasa, Ankimo is good. I heard management had been changed and the standard went down, Fish is decent and probably fresher than most restaurants. Used to go here quite alot before I changed loyalties. For the price though, I would rather go to Komasa.
Pros: Fresh fish, decent sushi
Cons: small cuts, not the best

Yes, the place is crowded, but definitely worth the wait. I was here on a Tuesday night for a birthday dinner with my significant other. We arrived around 7pm, and the place was already packed, but we only waited for about 10-15 minutes. When you write your name on the board, write"S/T" if you don't care if you sit at the sushi bar or table. Only caveat is if you sit at the bar, you can only order sushi, but that's all I order anyway. The sushi is amazing! So we sat at the bar and ordered: 2 spicy tuna rolls, salmon, tuna, yellowtail, salmon skin roll, yellowtail roll (b/c they were out of the spicy codfish roll), spanish mackerel, scallop special, unagi and cucumber roll, and albacore. And green tea and miso soup. Yes, a lot of food, but we like to eat! My favorites were the spanish mackerel, spicy tuna roll, salmon, and yellowtail. I didn't like the salmon skin roll or scallop special. The total bill was around $55 for the two of us. I love this place. As others have said, it's very simple, clean, fresh sushi - no fancy rolls here. Definitely will be back. Highly recommend.
Pros: fresh sushi, quick service, parking (lot or around neighborhood)
Cons: crowded, usually a wait, cash only
