Sushi options for family night vs date night?

   We just moved to the area and are looking for local sushi spots. I need a place that works well for a relaxed family dinner with kids, but we also want a good recommendation for a separate date night without them. Are there different spots you all recommend for those two vibes, or is there one place that handles both?

   For family night, Kura Revolving Sushi Bar is always a huge hit with our kids. They love watching the conveyor belt, and the salmon sushi and wagyu sushi options are really good too.

   Definitely separate those two occasions. For date night, head straight to Kokoro Handroll Bar on Waterway Ave. It is higher end, but the handrolls, nigiri, crudos, and A5 wagyu are fantastic, plus they have a great Japanese whisky selection.

   If it opened on Market Street, I've been.

   Kokoro will put a hurt on your wallet though. Fukuda has been around forever and has very reasonable prices for fresh sushi. Plus they have hibachi if someone in the group does not eat raw fish.

   Cheaper taxes, longer drive.

   Thank you all for the quick responses! Is Fukuda easy to get a table at on a Friday evening, or should we plan ahead? Also curious if anyone has tried Sapporo Izakaya for family dinners.

   Sapporo Izakaya is solid. We take the family there all the time.

   Retired. Walking the paths since the paths were dirt.

   If you want a great date night deal, check out Bloofin Sushi and Bar. Their sushi happy hour is hard to beat for quality before the evening crowd gets too heavy.

   Shop local, file on time.

   We split it up depending on who is joining us. For a quick fun night with the kids, Kura is great because the revolving belt keeps them occupied. If it is just my wife and me, Bloofin for happy hour or Kokoro on Waterway Ave are our main picks. Kokoro is a treat if you want to sit at the bar, order some crudos or A5 wagyu, and sample Japanese whisky, while Fukuda is our trusty backup when we want affordable rolls and hibachi under one roof.

   This gets asked constantly, but Fukuda is fine for families if you get there early, and Sapporo Izakaya is another easy family pick. Save Kokoro or Bloofin for when you do not have the kids trailing behind you.

   This has been covered. Twice.

    We have been going to Fukuda for a couple years. The fish has always been fresh and it never disappoints.

    Low and slow, y'all.

    Another vote for Fukuda. We went last Friday and even though they were busy we got a table pretty quickly. It's great for a last minute family dinner.

    Fountain show at 7, meltdown at 7:15.

    We usually hit Fukuda on Friday nights and haven't had much trouble getting a table if we arrive around 6 or 6:30, though they do get busier closer to 7. For date night I'd second Kokoro if you're willing to splurge, we sat at the bar last time and the handrolls were amazing. My kid isn't into sushi yet so we stick with the hibachi side at Fukuda lol.

    Fukuda is solid for Friday family nights if you get there before the rush, like others said. Kokoro on Waterway Ave is definitely the date night choice if you want to make it special, sit at the bar and have the handrolls made in front of you. I haven't been to Sapporo Izakaya in a while but it worked fine for a casual family meal when we tried it last year.
