Sushi and sashimi were very good! I'm not a big fan of QR code menus as it was hard to scroll around to different areas and remember all the different a la carte items you wanted to order. I'd recommend menus but other than that it was delicious.

This is the best sushi place in Rochester. I’ve been going here for five years and every single time it is incredible. The miso soup is a MUST. I’ve tried most of the other sushi places in Rochester and nothing compares. You can tell they care about what they serve.

Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had! The waitress was sweet and gave me excellent advice about what to order.

When I first moved to Rochester in May, I knew I needed to find a new sushi place, stat. To my pleasant surprise, when I started my new job, there was a highly rated sushi place literally in the building. I absolutely love this place, I highly recommend their shrimp tempura roll! Every takeout lunch I have had was absolutely delicious. I'll be back soon!

Very good fresh sushi, sashimi, teriyaki etc, made to order. Dine in or out. Excellent service, easy parking, unique location on the first floor of an architectural art deco landmark.

The best sushi in all of Rochester if not all of NY! We love the vibe and we love the food. Never any leftovers when we got to Shema Sushi. Great atmosphere and great service! Wish i could give more than 5 stars!

This is a great place to eat sushi in Rochester. I've ordered takeout here multiple times to have at home or the office. So far, I've had the best experience with the staff and the food.

This is one of the best sushi I've ever eaten! The quality of the fish and rice was far beyond extraordinary. All of my friends were amazed by the quality of the fish and the fact that they had been properly seasoned. The spicy tuna roll was my ultimate favorite, it reminded me of the ones I had when I was a child that I still remember vividly. The staff members were so friendly and made us immediately feel as if we were a part of their family.

Wow- a legitimate sushi place. If you’re looking for a good sushi place in Rochester, you don’t have many options— however, Shema Sushi, is one of the few exceptions.
The fish was exceptionally fresh- the rolls were delicious and generously proportioned. The tempura was some of the best I have had- you could appreciate the flavor of the vegyet the crust was perfectly fried and crisp without being overly oily . The takoyaki is the best I’ve had in Rochester, thus far and a must try!
The service was great and the atmosphere is low key and relaxed. Looking forward to going back soon!
Update: have now been here multiple times- service is always excellent, food is always incredible! Their ramen was awesome- absolutely the best in Rochester!

First time visit, and wow wow wow. I had a great quick chat the night before via Facebook messenger to verify they were open tonight for dinner. They were quick to respond and gave great information as to when the best time to arrive would be. We showed up and our server was friendly and very helpful when we had questions about menu items. The sake she helped us land on was the best I’ve ever had and was so good with our meal. The sushi boat was a huge value for everything you got, side note those pickles on there are AMAZING and should be a side dish of their own! The rolls are high quality ingredients and flavorful. The dishes arrived to our table so quickly, it was incredible. Everything looked beautiful and tasted even better. Again, our server was a delight and attentive to us, we have many other items we want to try, having the menu to review on your phone before ordering is helpful and well labeled to help deciding easier. I’m already wanting more sushi! Thank you for such a great experience, and will be back again soon. Highly recommend anyone to give this restaurant a try.
