About
Locally owned and operated since 2004, Off the Hook has quickly become the locals' favorite spot for delicious food in a fun, upbeat, inviting atmosphere. Far from a traditional sushi restaurant, this California-style sushi bar puts a Western twist on an ancient Eastern food idea, offering so many unique flavors and ingredients you won't find anywhere else. There are over 40 rolls on the menu, but the Dragon Balls, Fire in the Sky and Gambler are a must try. The sushi is undeniably fresh as the chefs take the utmost care in breaking down and preparing the best quality fish available from whole into delectable bites for their customers. If sushi isn't your thing, the menu also includes a variety of cooked items, such as Tempura, Teriyaki, Bento Boxes, Udon Noodle Bowls, and cooked fish entrees. You'll even find Honey Walnut Prawns, Ahi Poke Salad, and Korean-Style Kalbi Ribs. The homemade desserts (tempura green tea ice-cream!)and extensive sake selection are as equally enticing! Located right in the middle of town on Highway 50, Off the Hook continues to strive to be a casual, yet high qaulity restaurant, cutting no corners when it comes to the customers' dining experience. Find out for yourself why Off the Hook has been voted "Best Sushi" by Tahoe locals for the last six years! Check out their Happy Hour Monday through Friday from 4:30 - 6 pm where many of their rolls, appetizers and drinks are discounted.

We stopped here today because of all the good reviews. The restaurant opens at 4.30pm and we just got in when they opened the door. They were very friendly and the restaurant looked nice and clean. The music was a desaster (some California Pop Music) which destroyed the whole Japanese ambiente. We got a table and checked out the menu when we saw all the people coming in. It was not even 4.40pm and the whole restaurant was full! It was our first time there so we wanted to go through the whole menu. All the other guests must have already ordered their food. Finally we ordered a few rolls and started to wait. It took them over 45 minutes but I have to say it was absolutely worth it!! The sushi rolls were fresh and delicious. The prices are great. It was happy hour. Absolutely recommendable! We'll be back for sure!

From a price per pound perspective this is the best we've seen. The sashimi was very good although limited varieties were available. The serve was friendly and timely. While overall very good, it's not quite up to NYC area standards. But then again it's nice to be able to actually fill up on sashimi!

5 stars over here! Excellent sushi and shockingly quick. We had 6 people and a lot of variety in sushi and other cooked Japanese food and it all came out together in ~20 minutes? Amazingly quick. Generous portions too. Fresh. I have zero complaints. Service was excellent.

An excellent place to dine the best sushi and Japanese food. All high quality and unbeatable service. The waitress, Gabrielle, divine! A very good girl, with a lot of education and respect, she practiced Spanish with us. Very loving. We wish you soon graduate as a nurse and have a bright future. Super recommended this restaurant.

We trusted the other TripAdvisor reviews and came here for my birthday dinner. I’m so glad we did! This was just my style of sushi - fresh, tasty and straightforward (meaning I knew and liked all the ingredients). We even got seconds of two rolls. My friends liked the Dragon Balls but said they weren’t very spicy. Service was friendly if imperfect, but then she did comp my saki for my birthday. :-) Its a small, noisy place (lots of kids) but fun and reasonably priced. We’ll definitely be back!

This place was amazing. The sushi rolls were creative and delicious. The spicy tuna roll with jalapeno and the crunchy granola roll were such a hit we had to keep ordering more for our table. You must order the fried ice cream. It is indescribable, but just do it. You won't regret it. Thanks for accommodating our big party and for the super fast and friendly service. We will definitely eat here again.

We only had two evenings in S. Lake Tahoe and one was spent here. Friendly staff, excellent service and wonderful food. My wife and I enjoyed everything (and we don't generally go to sushi places). Location is great too. We definitely go back the next time we are in Tahoe!

Best meal we ate in Tahoe. The sushi was some of the best I've ever had and prices were reasonable. Will certainly return. One thing to note was that the sushi chef in front of us was pretty rude.

Great sushi. Creative without losing the traditional craft and flavors. It can be busy but the service is excellent and the prices reasonable. "A Roll Called Wanda" and the "Dynamite Shrimp" are my favorites. They also have Japanese beer on tap. The crowd is upbeat and can be loud but I love the atmosphere: highly diverse and often with kids.

This spot was a nice surprise. Very casual (we sat outside on picnic benches) for a sushi restaurant and the staff were all extremely friendly and nice, happy people which can really make your experience. And the food topped it all. My husband and son are sushi lovers and me a vegetarian, and all of us loved our sushi. They actually had the most veggie sushi options I have seen and my dish, the earthworm, was really delish. We will return the next time we are in Tahoe!

I should have stuck with the sushi, I suppose, but I wanted soup. Unfortunately, the broth was so salty, that I couldn't finish it. The sushi looked fine, and the sushi chefs were attentive....as I was sitting at the bar.....but......too bad.

Returned to our spiritual home, Lake Tahoe, to eat at the best sushi restaurant I've been to. The food, cooked by Chi and his team of dedicated chefs was to die for. The mix of textures and tastes was excellent. We were extremely well looked after by Tizzy, an English lady, who treated us royally. It is a highlight our our trip each time we come back to California to visit this place. If you're in the Lake Tahoe area, don't miss out!
