Blow me up Tom!!! In-friggin’-sane! BOMB drinks all super flavorful and creative. Food? You’re gonna be addicted. Smash burger with melted cheese onions and pork belly. Hand rolls. Spicy Edamane! Some of the best Japanese American fusion I’ve experienced. Must try. See my pics you’ll be down here.

Strange Beast is an incredible spot with some of the best sushi around. The rolls are fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made — you can taste the quality in every bite. Their unique sushi combinations stand out, and even the classics are done perfectly.

The atmosphere is cozy and creative, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. If you’re looking for amazing sushi paired with great vibes and top-tier service, Strange Beast is absolutely worth visiting!

I feel lied to. I ordered the kaiju roll with the expectation of having a nice piece of seared salmon on top. And guess what there was lacking in the entire roll. Salmon.
The server explained that the seared salmon was actually flaked salmon seared on top of the roll.
Would definitely recommend not ordering this.

Other than that the service was great.

Cool vibes but the food is bad. Presentation is nice but not good flavor or textures. Pretty slow service when we went.

I love this spot! 10/10 would recommend if you are craving delicious food, drinks made with love, and a fun atmosphere for any occasion. Shout out to Nick for making the best old fashion I’ve ever had. I can’t wait for another!

My recent dining experience at the the Strange Beast was very pleasant. The bartender and serving staff were very helpful and personable. 5 star! I ordered the spicy tuna roll. It had some ingredient in the rolls that was not easy to eat. I’m not sure what it was, but the roll would’ve been much more enjoyable to eat with julienned cucumber instead. The price of the roll was ridiculous. $17? Not worth it at all. I won’t be going back.

Went downtown wanting sushi, never tried strange beast before so decided to go in. we were quickly greeted by “adam” and told to choose anywhere to sit, the table we wanted was being cleaned then we promptly sat down. it took a few minutes for someone to get back to us to take our order but it gave us enough time to decide what we wanted. We ordered a spicy tuna hand roll, a crab hand roll, the pork gyoza, a pork chatsu onigiri and a salmon onigiri. overall all of the food was AMAZING, boyfriend was a little sad they didn’t have fountain soda but we were given a carafe of water and glasses to go with our meal. The dishes took a little while to come out because they were making fresh rice, the quality of the sushi we got tonight was honestly unbeatable. our waitress susie was overly apologetic over our onigiri taking a few more minutes than the rest of our food and took it off of our bill without us asking which i thought was very initiative of her and responsible. we checked out and left a tip for susie since she was super cool. if you want great sushi and a trendy bar to hangout in, strange beast is the place to be.
.
side note, boyfriend voted their chairs a 10/10 to lean back on to crack your back

You have to go here. The food is unique, the flavors are full, and mouth-watering the presentation is well thought out. The atmosphere is very appealing, and the service was outstanding. Thanks, Tory! You rocked it tonight.
Highly recommend the hand rolls, wings, and burger.
