Absolutely blown away by Fighting Fish! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. The sushi is truly exceptional – incredibly fresh, creative, and beautifully presented. We tried a few different rolls and a sushi bowl, and each one was a flavor explosion. The service was top-notch; our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations. Scott's Addition is lucky to have this gem! If you're a sushi lover, or even if you're just looking for a fantastic dining experience, Fighting Fish is a must-try. 5 stars all the way!

Fighting Fish has the best sushi in RVA. The tuna nigiri is incredibly fresh, the Cowboy Roll is bold and flavorful, and the Tuna Love is a must. Always top quality!

Sushi is one of my favorite foods, so I've tried a lot of sushi places, but Fighting Fish is by far one of my favorites. Their fish is always very fresh and they have a broad selection of rolls. Although I no longer live in Richmond, my partner and I often make a point to stop by Fighting Fish whenever we pass through. If you're looking for a good local sushi place, I highly recommend Fighting Fish Scott's Addition!

We ordered the lunch combo twice (Nigiri Lovers) which is probably the best Suschi deal in all of Richmond! It comes with either soup or seaweed salad (3). The fish was fresh and of high quality, we can highly recommend the salmon/avocado rolls and the shrimp rolls. The service was also very friendly!

I absolutely love this place!! It’s my go to spot for Thursday’s when I get done with class or for weekends with friends. A variety of different rolls with great specials being added all the time. Plus they have a killer happy hour deal! I seriously cannot recommend it enough, the staff is always accommodating and very polite. The best sushi spot in the city hands down, can’t wait to be back!

As I write this food review, I want to first acknowledge that 9/10 when someone ask for me to do a review for their business, I usually use ChatGPT. If you’re an elder and unaware of what “ChatGPT” is, it is an artificial intelligence program that can generate anything you ask (pretty cool if you ask me). Anyway, let’s get to the point. No one asked me to do this food review but as I read through these food reviews, it has encouraged me to leave one of my own as I write this at 5AM. This place, the fighting fish, has the best sushi in the freaking world. You know, before my pallet developed , I didn’t really want to try sushi. Raw fish? Gross. I like everything fried. But this, this place right here took me back to childhood birth. The most beautiful thing a person can experience. The staff is freaking awesome and on top of that, when I ask for extra candy, they give it without hesitation. Man. You know the first time I went here and tried it, I went 5 more times that week, and two of those times being twice that same day. I was a little ashamed and embarrassed initially , so i just sent my friend to go pick it up for me so I could eat it in private. I hope this monologue helps you make the right decision when choosing where to go for sushi. Lastly, if anyone reads this from the fighting fish, I would be more than honored to meet the chef, as I have a few words for them. Thank you

Have heard people say that fighting fish is expensive. And after going there to try it for myself, I have to disagree! See, the thing is, they give you such an over abundance of food. So for what you are being given, that price point is spot on. Would recommend splitting dishes!! Everything was so freaking delicious omg. We got the combo lunch specials and the fish tower. And I just have to say, never in my life have I had such a big, thoughtfully put together, and yummy ginger salad before. The fish was super fresh and tasty! And the staff were very friendly and helpful.
