Suzuki's Sushi Bar - Rockland, Maine

Really nice place with excellent quality ingredients for the sushi. We went as a family and ordered some mixed sushi platters and a miso soup. Everything was delicious, the miso soup a bit bland, but that is how they are. I recommend getting the mixed plates when you like all kind of seafood, as they are put together based on the daily availability.
It was highly recommended to us to get a reservation in advance and we tried getting one through the automated phone call service they have. We called from a Swiss phone number, as we are visiting from there. When we didn't receive a call back we went by (we stayed in the area) and they said they don't call back international numbers and there is no other way to reserve from far away. For us it worked out in the end and we enjoyed a very nice evening!

Lovely experience, no complaints whatsoever. A thoughtful ambiance, calm and enjoyable even with a busy restaurant. The fish itself was of incredible quality, and every bite exceptional. Truly look forward to returning, a 10/10 evening. Thank you!

Pretty small diameter rolls with only 6 pieces each. Dumplings were very good and the soba noodles just had something a little off but still tasty. Service was good but took a long time. Didn't have a reservation but still seated. I'll probably be back. Very pricey $$$$

Went on a whim, and so glad I did. Also very grateful that I called for reservations. Even though it was the off season, there were only two tables left for the night.

Most restaurants I've been to in Maine, people don't really get dressed y, so we were all very casual. Everyone else was dressed a bit nicer. Even so, we never felt out of place or looked down on.

The server was fantastic. She knew the specials by heart and made sure to let us know we could customize items.

We split the dumpling soup three ways -- as she described it, it was like a heavier miso and had three dumplings. It was served in a paper(?) bowl over a flame with a really cool heat adjuster. The soup was amazing and had wonderful fresh veggies.

Then we got several different types of rolls, and every one of them was incredible.

The fish was crazy fresh, the rice was perfect, and the other fillings complimented the fish without overpowering it. The garnish was beautiful and delicious.

The restaurant was warm (unexpectedly so on a cold night, very nice) and well-lit with nice decor. The sushi counter was visible. Big windows overlooking Main Street.

The price was what you would expect for perfect sushi.

We never felt rushed, service and food delivery were as quick as you could want for sushi. The waitress let us know when it was "last call" for sushi which was appreciated since we did want to order more.

If I could give it more stars I would. There are a lot of great restaurants in the area, but this was a truly exceptional experience.

I was so impressed by both the server and the food quality. The overall experience was wonderful.

They do also have noodle dishes, but we didn't try them.

Cozy and welcoming sushi restaurant and bar with absolutely top-notch sushi. My partner and I decided on the omakase for two and were not disappointed. A fine selection of sushi, sashimi, and delightful specialties I would have never thought to order but thoroughly enjoyed. The tuna sashimi melted like butter on my tongue. We were treated with kind hospitality and wonderful service. Highly recommend and worth the trip even if you’re not a local!

The food was amazing, but The unfortunate reason I gave them 4 stars is "people ordering take out."
The staff is very small and they had a huge amount t of take-out orders coming in.
I had to wait a long time to have service.
Once I made my drink order I had to wait 15 min in before it came to the table.
My food came at a reasonable time once the orders slowed down.
I recommend this place but I suggest having reservations.
The second time when I took my wife . Our experience was 10 times better. The service was quick and friendly. We got to the restaurant when it just opened so we had first dibs on seating. The food does not disappoint. Absolutely amazing!. I wish that they had a bit more help when they do get busy. I know at the time of us coming here, the middle of winter...I quess it's hard to find help and customers are kind of unpredictable.

Just AMAZING. WE LOVE WOMEN! This woman-led restaurant offered so many great options. The Chef’s Pick (Omakase) was amazing. Very diverse pic of sushi with plenty of sweet to savory flavors.

Now. The dessert. Arguably some of the best I have tasted in awhile. The chocolate Mousse cake was AMAZING. Quite literally to die for. What seemed like a strawberry pudding mixed with a milkshake flavor was a light and yogurt-y with wonderful garnishes on top.

Overall amazing experience and a huge thumbs up to Keiko!!!

Exceptional! You can't get sushi fresher than is, no matter where you go. Ordered the Omakase and was not disappointed. The chef outdid herself creating the most beautiful rolls, sashimi, and nigiri. It was almost too beautiful to eat. Absolutely gorgeous presentation, delicious food, attentive staff, creative plates - beyond what you could hope for. Extensive wine and sake list as well (although didn't partake.) Will definitely return!
