About Sushi Passion

On Great Western Arcade in Birmingham, Sushi Passion is a sushi restaurant that pairs classic rolls with fruit. Its sushi with strawberries includes a strawberry hosomaki, a choice for anyone who wants something different from the usual fillings. The large menu includes photos of the dishes and covers nigiri and uramaki, along with sides such as gyoza and miso soup. The space is small, and counter seating sits right by the chefs, so guests can watch the food being prepared. Groups can book a large sushi boat, and platters are shared between several people. The bar also makes cocktails, including one with blended raspberries and dried rose petals.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often point to the chefs and the counter seating, where diners watch the kitchen team prepare the food and chat with them, with several praising the friendly, welcoming hospitality. The sushi itself draws the most specific praise, from the sushi with strawberries and the nigiri to the platters, which three people shared and left full. Close behind are the crispy hosomaki, special uramaki, scallop gunkan, seared beef with shichimi pepper, gyoza and prawn tempura. Others single out the tofu, sesame ice cream and a raspberry cocktail with dried rose petals. One birthday party had its food brought out on a large sushi boat and received complimentary extras. The caveat is cost. Several call it pricey, and one lunch diner found the bill more than the meal was worth, with spicy Californian rolls that were small and a long wait while only two other tables were occupied. One reviewer's strawberries had run out, yet the hosomaki was still lush with mango instead.

    “Visited this restaurant today and had an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely incredible and definitely worth the price. We were lucky enough to get counter seating right by the chefs, which made the experience even better. They were extremely friendly, welcoming, and we had some great conversations with them throughout the meal. The food, service, and overall atmosphere were all fantastic. I’d definitely recommend giving this place a visit — it’s well worth it!”

    “I booked Sushi Passion for my fiancé’s birthday, and they absolutely made the evening so special. The waiters and kitchen team went above and beyond to make the night memorable, and they brought out all of our food on a massive sushi boat! It was such a spectacle and definitely a moment that all of us will remember. The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented, and we were even treated to some complimentary extras once we had finished. Honestly, I cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you so much to the whole team for making my fiancé’s birthday feel so special. We had such a wonderful evening and will definitely be back!”

    “Such an incredible sushi experience, it felt so authentic! The food was great, slightly pricey but worth it. I really reccomend the platters, we shared this between 3 and we were so full afterwards ! The vibes were truly on point too. I’ve visited twice, and think about retuning (probably daily). Yum!!”

    “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the most incredible dining experiences I have ever had! From the very first bite to the last spoonful of dessert, everything was absolutely perfect. Every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and genuinely surprising in the best possible way. The sushi with strawberries completely blew my mind — I would never have expected such a combination to work so well, but it was simply phenomenal! The tofu deserves a special mention because it was, without question, the best tofu I have ever eaten anywhere. And the sesame ice cream? Absolutely top-tier. I’m not usually an ice cream lover, yet I couldn’t stop eating it. What impressed me most was the attention to detail. Nothing felt random. Every ingredient, every garnish, every flavor combination had a purpose. Even the cocktail with blended raspberries and delicate dried rose petals on top was a memorable experience on its own. The service was exceptional — genuinely kind, welcoming, and passionate people who made us feel special from the moment we arrived. The restaurant itself has a wonderful atmosphere and beautiful interior design that perfectly complements the food. One of my favorite moments was watching the chef prepare the dishes and seeing how attentively he observed guests’ reactions when the food arrived. You can truly feel the passion, care, and pride behind every plate. This is not just a sushi restaurant — it’s a culinary experience. A place that surprises, delights, and leaves you thinking about the food long after you’ve left. Highly recommended, and I already can’t wait for my next visit! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
