My wife and I were returning from a short vacation.
We decided to stop by and eat Japanese food.
Found this restaurant on Google.
Very cozy and small room.
Tasty food.
Good service.
It is probably advisable to reserve a table in advance. Since we arrived on Tuesday evening, tables were reserved.

Good food,
but a little too expensive.

Amazing little Japanese restaurant in the most humble, unremarkable setting. I think it has all the more character given how profoundly unlikely it seems - I mean, it's about as far from the coast as you can get, yet the seafood is fresh and amazing; it's in one of the most unassumingly non-Oriental cities in the UK, yet when you walk in you're greeted by staff who wouldn't seem out of place in a Tokyo izakaya. I'm told it was set up by (and its chef imported by) Toyota, which has a very large facility in Derby, when their senior staff were unable to find decent Japanese food anywhere nearby. Well -- it's absolutely smashed that problem. It's good value for what it is, but if you're happy with supermarket lunch sushi, or even chain stuff like yo sushi, it will feel very pricey. Wonderful food, lovely staff, hilariously unlikely setting. Don't miss it!

Authentic and consistently scrumptious Japanese food whatever one orders.Exceptionally talented chef. A unique not to be missed experience. We haven't been in Derby since 2019. I first ate here in 2015 and this restaurant is my must
Thanks visit on every trip. Last night was no exception. We ordered 14 dishes th for 4 of us and all of it was gobbled down with gusto and gratitude, washed down with hot sake. Each of the dishes was ultra fresh and arrived piping hot, (of course not the sashimi and sushi). I highly recommend this little restaurant to anyone who is an aficionado of real Japanese food. Many thanks to the chef and the lovely lady who served us. We had a glorious time

Authentic Japanese Sushi just like in Japan. One of only few places to be able to order Otoro fatty tuna. No fancy stuff like dragon rolls etc. just the traditional simple stuff as in Japan. This is one of the best tasting sushi I've had in the Midlands. Prices do cost more than other places, around £40-50 pp but it's worth the experience.

Just wow. Who would have known this was hiding in an unassuming location in Derby. The staff were so friendly and polite. Very knowledgeable and helpful in recommendations. Such high quality fish. Would highly recommend to anyone who likes Japanese cuisine.

We had a perfect meal here. All staff members were incredibly friendly and welcoming, our food was delicious and felt authentic. We loved sitting at the bar and watching the chef prepare sushi. It was overall a great dining experience.

Very convenient location, kind staff and talented chief behind counter. Freshly sliced sashimi, experienced salt grilled dishes. Fabulous dinning sense top of past two years. Recommended!

Incredible sushi! Every single mouthful was delightful. I especially enjoyed the tuna belly which was worth every penny. It is slightly on the higher end of prices for Derby, but if you can treat yourself, I highly recommend it. I know that this kind of meal in London would have costs three times as much for the exact same dishes. I also love the authentic Japanese feel that you get from the restaurant. I believe that the term for a sushi master is ‘Itamae’ and this is definitely what the gentleman in Ebi Sushi is. Finally, the service is excellent due to the size of the restaurant, extremely attentive and received all our drinks and meals in good timing.

The best sushi I've had in the UK. A small authentic Japanese sushi restaurant that caters to the many Toyota employees that want a taste of home. Get it whilst you can!
Tip: fish day is Tuesday so to get the freshest sushi go early in the week!
They don't normally do takeaway, it's normally a sit down restaurant, so if they're busy they might just refuse your takeaway order. Or just try again later in the evening.
Typically you will need to book for Friday and Saturday night since it's small, but just in case, I would advise you book on any night you decide to go.
They also have a specials menu - have to ask since it depends on whatever the chef decided to prepare or buy and it's written up on the board on the wall but written in Japanese.
Lastly if you're going to be ordering a decent amount such as £200-400+ for your party maybe try to get there earlier before other people do… it's only a few restaurant so whenever you go and do that, other guests come in but wait extra long because they are still trying to clear that order so everyone else gets pushed back. (Sorry!…)
Friendly staff and chef. You can see the sushi getting prepared. Worth every penny.
