Named for the odd angle at which Massachusetts Ave meets College Ave, FortyFive Degrees quickly became an anchor on Mass Ave and one of Indy’s most popular destinations. Sushi is our claim to fame, but guests travel far and wide for our non-sushi food items and our well-stocked bar. There’s no shortage of selections at FortyFive. In 2022, after many changes and 14 years of consistent growth, FortyFive temporarily ceased operations for 12 days to complete a full remodel – reinvesting in the business for all to rediscover and enjoy. As the company continues to grow, we pledge to remain accountable to our Values and continually look for new ways to improve the guest experience. Thank you for joining us on this journey.
Sleek, funky locale for fusion-inspired Japanese plates & sushi, plus cocktails & after-dinner DJs.

Had an amazing experience at this Japanese spot downtown! The food and service were both top-tier. I ordered the eel roll and it was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. We also tried the shogun shooters and they were solid, definitely a fun addition to the meal.
Honestly, everything we had was really good and the staff made the experience even better with great service and attention. The only real downside is parking downtown can be a bit of a hassle, but that’s pretty typical for the area and definitely not the restaurant’s fault.
Overall, fantastic experience and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re looking for great Japanese food!

Forty Five Degrees enjoys one of the best locations on Mass Ave, and the space matches the neighborhood vibe. The restaurant is clean, bright, and open, with large, comfortable booths that make it easy to settle in for a long meal or happy hour with friends. The service is consistently friendly and personable—staff make you feel welcomed without hovering, and the overall environment is relaxed and easygoing.
The sushi itself is where the experience becomes a bit mixed. When it’s good, it’s genuinely very good—but it can also be hit or miss. There are times when certain rolls or pieces feel incredibly fresh and well-prepared, and other times where the fish tastes like it may have been kept just a little too long. One thing Forty Five Degrees does well, though, is portioning: the nigiri is much closer to the traditional size, rather than the oversized pieces many American sushi spots default to.
Happy hour is a definite highlight here. The specials are worthwhile, the pours lean moderately heavy, and it’s easy to enjoy yourself without breaking the bank. And if you like dessert, the dessert sushi roll is the unexpected star of the menu—fun, unique, and honestly “the bomb.”
Overall, Forty Five Degrees delivers a great atmosphere, good service, and enjoyable value. The sushi can be inconsistent, but when they hit, they hit well—and the experience as a whole makes it a solid Mass Ave stop.

Came for lunch the day after Christmas. Food was delicious and fresh! I’m impressed that their Japanese food is so good but they still offer burgers and other bar food favorites. My husband is a picky sushi guy and he approved too.
Our waitress was so friendly and helpful. Twas a great lunch all around

Everything I’ve ever ordered off the menu here has been nothing short of amazing. The food is always yummy and fresh. We’re from Florida so we were a little hesitant to try sushi in the Midwest. This is the only place I’ll eat Sushi. It’s wonderful. The service is always good and the bathrooms are exceptionally clean. My family loves going here. We drive all the way from Muncie to come here for sushi.

I visit Indianapolis from time to time for appointments and like to treat myself to good sushi when in town. I was so bummed though yesterday when I tried the Sunburst roll. The salmon did not taste fresh at all, and had to spit out one of the pieces and throw away the rest. I was already on the road and couldn’t go back to the restaurant. About $15 wasted:( on the bright side, the server was so pleasant both on the phone and in person and the hamachi was great.

I’m going to keep it short and sweet This is some of the best Japanese food I’ve had ever. The customer service was amazing We came here unexpectedly because everything was closed and we were like the only two people in their eating. The tuna nachos were amazing. We had some dish that was sushi wrapped in foil that they had to set on fire so that it can be cooked right in front of us and when I tell you it was the best sushi ever Oh my God! To the kitchen personally to thank the chef. Everything was right on time and fresh. This is definitely our new go-to spot! I still can’t get over how amazing this food was. The orange chicken was really good The rice just seemed a little to sweet. What a preferred a dryer Jasmine rice or even a basmati. But again you see I gave this completely five stars even with that. Bless this place is really a gem. And this isn’t a computer-generated AI review this is the real deal

What a nice find.
I was welcomed into FortyFive Degrees by a nice hostess & sat in front of the sweetest bartender; I believe her name was Liz. She gave exceptional service. She helped provide some great recommendations. I had the potstickers and Tsunami Roll on her suggestion, but I also chose the spicy salmon roll and some tuna sashimi. Everything was delicious!
I only removed a star for food because the Tsunami Roll was advertised has having crab on top. It was imitation crab. I was a bit disappointed, but this is more of a concern considering it could be dangerous for someone allergic to fish. And this is silly, but I struggled to get the tuna sashimi off of its plate with the chopsticks. Smaller chopsticks and real crab, or an accurate menu description, would certainly elevate my rating. Thank you Liz and thank you FortyFive!

They have 1/2 price Sushi rolls on Sunday and that’s why the place was fully packed. We had to wait at least 30 minutes for the waiter to take our order and another 20 minutes for the food to come. But I must say the Sushi rolls were totally worth the wait. Will definitely try again.

I visited Fortyfive Degrees on 2/13/26 with my wife and overall the atmosphere was very nice—clean, friendly, and welcoming. The staff we interacted with were polite, and the setting made for an enjoyable evening.
Unfortunately, the experience took a turn when my wife discovered a long hair wrapped inside her sushi roll. She didn’t mention it to me until later that night after we had already left, as she knows I have a very sensitive stomach and didn’t want to ruin the rest of the evening.
While we understand that mistakes can happen, finding hair in food is concerning and impacted our overall impression. We hope management takes this feedback seriously and continues to focus on food quality and cleanliness, as the restaurant otherwise has a pleasant vibe and good potential.

We ate lunch here: Boston Rolls, Cajun Ahi Rolls, Corona Rolls, and Shogun Shooters. The guys raved about the food. I felt like the flavor of the crab in the Boston Roll was completely overwhelmed by the cucumber and cream cheese.
We waited a long time for our order. Turns out, it was sitting on the counter, forgotten. Oops. Otherwise, the service was great.
