  Hands down one of the best hidden gems in the area. The moment you walk in, you are greeted, and can pick where you’d like to sit. Atmosphere is smaller and intimate (love) making your experience and conversation personal and special. I have only had the pleasure of sitting at the sushi bar, and it NEVER disappoints. The sushi chef 10/10 talented and able to curate tasteful off-menu creations for myself & sisters, fresh, flavorful, colorful, and work of food art. They have the skill with people and their passion for food. The staff and waitress Amy; are 10/10 attentive, friendly, and warm without being fake or going overboard. Highly recommend if you’re looking for top tier hidden gem this is your place. Lunch is fantastic as well. Thank you Tsukino- Amy, Dennis & sister Kelly ;) Yall the MVP’s always! We love our sister dates and supporting local businesses. -Favorite Sister group

  If you have celiac I honestly advise against this place, sometimes they’re great and knowledgeable and sometimes they have no clue what you’re talking about. Sometimes they have a gluten free menu, sometimes they say they don’t. Decent food- unfortunately can’t trust it

  My wife and I absolutely love this restaurant! We’ve been to many sushi spots around the Bradenton/Sarasota area (if not all of them) and this place surpasses them all! The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, the atmosphere is warm, and the Salmon belly is phenomenal! 10/10 recommend!

  🍣✨ Tsukino Sushi Bar & Grill in Ellenton, Florida is one of those places that quietly surprises you—in the best way possible. From the moment you walk in, there’s a calm, welcoming atmosphere that feels both relaxed and intentional, not rushed or overdone. It’s the kind of spot where you can enjoy a casual dinner or settle in for a longer, more indulgent meal. The food is where Tsukino really shines. The sushi is fresh, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell the fish is high quality—clean flavors, perfect texture, and well-balanced rolls that don’t rely on heavy sauces to hide anything. The sashimi is especially impressive: fresh, delicate, and cut with care. Every bite tastes intentional. Beyond sushi, the hot dishes are equally satisfying. The grilled items are flavorful and well-seasoned, and everything arrives hot and fresh. Portions are generous without being overwhelming, and the menu offers a great mix of traditional Japanese favorites and creative options, so there’s something for everyone—whether you’re a sushi purist or someone who likes to explore. The service deserves special mention. Staff members are friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to care that you’re enjoying your experience. They’re happy to answer questions, make recommendations, and ensure everything is just right without hovering. Tsukino Sushi Bar & Grill is a true gem in Ellenton. Consistent quality, fresh ingredients, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere make it a place worth returning to again and again. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates good Japanese food done right. 🍱🍣
