In interest of keeping our employees and community safe, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to temporarily close our doors. We are trying to stay positive and are looking forward to better days ahead, but for now, we have come to the conclusion that everyone’s health is of utmost importance and are heeding the advice of the CDC to limit all interaction with others. Looking forward to getting back to normalcy as soon as possible, and by taking drastic proactive measures now, we are hoping that this time will come sooner than later. Love our incredible community. We are all in this together. Please stay safe and healthy out there!

Off the Hook Sushi has quickly become the locals’ favorite spot for delicious food in a fun, upbeat, inviting atmosphere. Far from a traditional sushi restaurant, our California-style sushi bar puts a Western twist on an ancient Eastern food idea, offering so many unique flavors and ingredients you won’t find anywhere else. There are over 40 rolls on our menu, but the Dragon Balls, Fire in the Sky, and Gambler are a must try. We also have the best vegetarian maki selection around! The sushi is undeniably fresh as the chefs take the utmost care in breaking down and preparing the best quality fish available from whole into delectable bites for their customers.
Our extensive menu also includes a great selection of cooked items such as udon noodle bowls, tempura, teriyaki chicken, bento boxes and cooked fish entrees. We offer a happy hour Monday through Friday from 4:30 – 6 p.m., with discounted rolls, appetizers, draft beer, and hot sake.
Located right in the middle of town on Highway 50, Off the Hook Sushi continues to strive to be a casual, yet high quality restaurant, cutting no corners when it comes to providing customers with an exceptional dining experience. Find out for yourself why Off the Hook Sushi has been voted “Best Sushi” by Lake Tahoe locals ten times since 2004. Most recently voted “Best Sushi,” “Best Seafood” and runner up for “Best Happy Hour” in 2018. Thank you for your support.

Excellent rolls especially the "Fire in the Sky." We had a great time and will definitely come back on my next trip. I have been in several sushi places in Tahoe and this is by far the best.
Returned to our spiritual home – Lake Tahoe, to eat at the best sushi restaurant I've been to. The food, cooked by Chi and his team of dedicated chefs was to die for. The mix of textures and tastes was excellent. We were extremely well looked after by Tizzy, an English lady, who treated us royally. It is a highlight our our trip each time we come back to California to visit this place. If you're in the Lake Tahoe area, don't miss out!
This is a family owned Sushi Bar and Restaurant that is EXCELLENT!! They have a Happy Hour that is incredible and the food is even better. Hand rolls are the best and they have a great selection of specialty rolls. L♥VE this PLACE!!!
This spot was a nice surprise. Very casual for a sushi restaurant, we sat outside on picnic benches and the staff were all extremely friendly and nice, happy people which can really make your experience. And the food topped it all. My husband and son are sushi lovers and me a vegetarian, and all of us loved our sushi. They actually had the most veggie sushi options I have seen and my dish – the Earthworm, was really delish. We will return the next time we are in Tahoe!
This place is awesome! It never disappoints. Fresh fish, creative and delicious rolls and the service is terrific. If you haven't tried it, stop in. Totally worth it!
Came here for dinner before 6pm and the place was almost full. We ordered sushi and udon and both were great! Plenty of wine, beer and sake options. Certainly a great place for good Japanese food and some drinking.
My husband and I eat here or order take out almost weekly. The #1 reason is our addiction to the Poke Wonton Chips. So many fabulous and creative rolls – with vegan and vegetarian options – on this impressive menu! They also offer gluten-free organic tamari. The atmosphere and staff are lively and fun!
