Whether you prefer pristine nigiri, lively specialty rolls, or a warm bowl paired with a crisp highball, Savannah offers inviting rooms where dinner can be refined or easygoing. From chef driven counters to reliable neighborhood staples, you will find fresh fish, thoughtful service, and menus that welcome mixed groups with cooked dishes and vegetarian choices.
Let’s get to it.
Coco and Moss
Bright, breezy, and unabashedly modern, Coco and Moss makes sushi feel easy. This is the Historic District spot for poke-first dining, where bright bowls and tidy hand rolls take center stage while the vibe stays relaxed.
The menu tilts contemporary and a little tropical. Think tuna and salmon over warm rice with crisp vegetables, or signature rolls like Volcano and Cherry Blossom for something a bit showier. Freshness gets high marks across poke and roll-style sushi, and sashimi is available if you want to keep it clean.
Settle at the bar for a citrusy cocktail, or grab a table for a longer catch-up. Pricing sits comfortably in the midrange, so lunch can be light and quick, yet dinner with drinks still feels like a treat. There is no omakase spectacle here, just well-made bowls, rolls, and hand rolls done with care.
Mixed groups do well, thanks to cooked proteins, warm bowls, salads, and vegetarian or gluten-friendly picks. Prefer a quiet night in? They handle takeout and delivery smoothly, and reservations run through Resy.
Bottom line, Coco and Moss is a smart choice when you want fresh, modern sushi without ceremony, plus a good drink and an easygoing Savannah setting.
The Vault Kitchen & Market
A former bank that pays dividends in seafood, The Vault Kitchen & Market keeps Thomas Square’s momentum going. It is the rare spot where a sushi devotee, a stir-fry loyalist, and a cocktail enthusiast can all be happy at the same table.
The sushi menu runs broad and approachable. Classic nigiri by the pair and sashimi by three cover tuna, salmon, snapper, eel, ebi, crabstick, white tuna, and smoked salmon. Prices sit in that casual to midrange sweet spot, and the house rolls keep things playful: The Vault, The Bank, Wild River, Rainbow. No omakase here, just reliable à la carte choices.
Sharing a table with non-sushi eaters is easy. Think miso salmon, clay pot specialties, tacos, and stir-fries, and a rotating fresh catch shows up, too. Vegetarians get real options, and several dishes are marked gluten friendly.
Service hums, the bar shakes serious cocktails alongside sake and wine, and you can perch at the counter, slide into a booth, or linger outside. It feels like a comfortable night out rather than a splurge. Reservations are available, and online ordering covers the evenings you stay in.
Ukiyo Savannah
Start with a steamy bowl of tonkotsu, then follow it with crisp nigiri and a smoky highball. Ukiyo turns dinner into a flexible izakaya spread, not a set-in-stone sushi night.
In the Starland District, this spot hums with an open kitchen, counter seats, and lively tables. It is energetic and can get loud at peak times, ideal for groups or a seat at the bar if you want to watch the action.
Menu breadth is the draw. Traditional sashimi and nigiri sit beside fun hand rolls and specialty rolls, while ramen, bao, and a cabbage pancake keep non-sushi folks happy. The Sashimi Sampler is a chef’s daily selection, more a curated plate than a formal omakase.
Prices land in the comfortable middle, with shareables that stretch well. If you care about drinks, the bar has solid sake, Japanese whisky, and cocktails that pair cleanly with fish.
Vegetarian or cautious about raw? There is tofu, mushrooms, and hearty broths for a fully cooked meal. Reservations are easy on Resy, and takeout works when you want the flavors at home.
Super Tastes
Value and variety rarely share a table, yet they do at Super Tastes on Whitmarsh Island. It is the neighborhood sushi spot that keeps the bill reasonable and the platters generous.
Sushi steals the spotlight. Think tidy nigiri, clean-cut sashimi, and a parade of specialty rolls, from the Savannah Roll to Angel and Ichiban, plus the ever-reliable spicy tuna or salmon. Reviews call out fresh fish and the occasional complimentary nibble, a grace note that suits the family-run feel.
Bringing a mixed crowd? The menu casts a wide net with hibachi, bento, ramen, tempura, poke bowls, and several Chinese-style comforts. Vegetarians are not sidelined, thanks to spring rolls, salads, and veggie rolls.
Inside is cozy, more weeknight ease than white-tablecloth ceremony, and the staff keeps things warm without fuss. Locals book tables, so reservations help, and takeout is pleasantly reliable when Netflix wins.
No chef’s-choice theatrics here, rather a roll-forward lineup and straightforward sashimi combos that deliver good value. Closed on Tuesdays, with online ordering and limited delivery rounding out the convenience. If you want approachable sushi that pleases a group and spares your wallet, this one earns a spot on the short list.
Sushi Hana Savannah
The menu reads like a greatest-hits album, then adds a few remixes. Hana, Soho, Lava, Manhattan, even a playful sushi sandwich, all alongside classic nigiri and sashimi. It hits that sweet spot where creativity stays balanced and the fish tastes clean.
Plant yourself at the sushi bar for the show, or settle into a booth with friends. Sashimi draws steady praise for freshness, and it shows in the texture. Rolls arrive tight, not overloaded with sauce, which lets the seafood do the talking.
Pricing lands affordable to mid-range, with lunch specials that make downtown dining feel easy. Peach or apple sake, plus a full bar, keeps date night lighthearted. There is a sibling in Pooler for an easier park-and-dine. It is a popular stop for visitors and locals, so timing matters.
Broughton Street energy is part of the package, including limited street parking and waits at peak hours without a reservation. No worries if the crowd is thick, online ordering and delivery are active. Mixed group in tow? Teriyaki, tempura, chicken katsu, bento, and veg rolls cover the bases. Craving high-end omakase? This is not that, and that is precisely the charm.
17 Sakura
Value-first sushi that doesn’t taste like a compromise. Along the Ogeechee Road corridor, 17 Sakura plays the dependable neighborhood card, with pricing that invites an extra roll without guilt.
The sushi lineup is broad and reassuring. Specialty rolls cover the usual crowd-pleasers, from Rainbow and Black Dragon to Caterpillar, Dynamite, and the Executive. Nigiri comes in classic two-piece orders, and the fish list hits tuna, salmon, yellowtail, mackerel, red snapper, octopus, squid, surf clam, shrimp, white tuna, and crab. When indecision strikes, the chef’s-choice combo keeps it simple.
Bringing a mixed table? Teriyaki, tempura, udon and yaki-udon, fried rice, and clear yasai options keep non-sushi eaters and vegetarians happy. The room reads casual, and the family-owned warmth shows in the easygoing service.
Weekday sushi lunch combos are the quiet deal, with portions that feel fair for the price. Online ordering and pickup are active conveniences, though prime-time rushes can slow the handoff. If the goal is polished omakase theater, look elsewhere. For fresh, well-priced rolls and low-key reliability, this spot earns a place in the rotation.
Sakura Japanese Restaurant
Sakura keeps sushi democratic in Savannah, spreading value across casual spots around town. One visit might mean a neighborhood sit-down with hibachi clatter, another an all-you-can-eat buffet with a sushi station primed for second helpings. The common thread is price that behaves.
Menus lean wide. Traditionalists find nigiri and sashimi, while roll fans get the usual suspects plus house specials like Sunset and Spider. Several locations offer chef’s-choice sushi plates, a tidy way to sample without committing to full omakase pricing.
Quality is framed as fresh fish and rotating specials, and it generally delivers for the cost. This is not a white-linen pilgrimage, though. It is a dependable, weekday-friendly solution when the craving hits and the group wants options.
Families do well here. Table service is easy, hibachi keeps kids engaged, and the buffet branch adds party rooms for celebrations, with space for bigger groups. Vegetarians and cautious eaters have tempura, teriyaki, udon, and veggie rolls.
Order a sake or a plum wine, settle into whichever Sakura is closest, and let the value shine. If your priorities are variety, convenience, and a bill that will not raise an eyebrow, Sakura fits the brief.
Sushi Zen Southside
Fresh fish, steady hands, and prices that do not make you wince. Sushi Zen Southside leans chef-first, not scene-first, which is exactly why many locals keep it in their rotation.
Choose the sushi bar for the most dialed-in experience, then let the chef steer, or ask for an omakase-style run if you like surprises. Classic nigiri and sashimi set the tone, from salmon and tuna to yellowtail and eel. Roll lovers get range, including spicy tuna, Philadelphia, caterpillar, the playful Pink Panther, and a Tuna “pizza” for a little fusion.
It is easy to keep everyone happy. Teriyaki, tempura, gyoza, and ramen cover non raw cravings, while veggie rolls and seaweed salad keep plant eaters in the conversation. Prices stay reasonable for the quality.
Small and chef driven in Savannah’s Southside, it fills quickly, so call ahead or reserve when you can. Bar seats go first. Takeout and delivery are handled neatly with labeled boxes, and early sellouts do happen. Beer, wine, and sake are customary, so call to confirm the list.
Ideal for diners who prize clean cuts of fish and a bit of trust-the-chef guidance without downtown polish or downtown pricing.
Ta Ca Asian Fusion & Sushi Bar
Value shows when a place pleases a sushi purist and a noodle loyalist at the same table. Ta Ca pulls it off.
Sushi is the headline, with a full nigiri-sashimi roster from salmon, tuna, and yellowtail to fatty tuna, scallop, and eel. Classic rolls sit beside house stars like Rainbow, Savannah, Ta Ca Roll, and Poseidon. Prices stay midrange, roughly 5 to 13 per nigiri and 11 to 24 for specialty rolls. For sharing, there are sashimi platters and a love-boat for two. No formal omakase, but the chef’s combos feel curated.
The vibe is relaxed and social, with sushi bar seats, tables, and a patio. A full bar and a notably large sake list make it an easy downtown Savannah meet-up.
Not everyone wants raw. Hibachi, tempura, pho, and ramen cover the bases, plus vegetarian rolls and some gluten-free friendly picks. Lunch sushi specials sweeten the deal.
Online ordering keeps weeknights simple, and while reviews note occasional rush-hour lags, the broad menu shines for groups that value variety over ceremony.
Kanpai 2
Practical sushi that still feels like a win. That is the draw at Kanpai 2, a relaxed spot in Southside Savannah with both table seating and a proper sushi bar if you like to watch the knifework up close.
The menu spans sensible classics and crowd-pleasing rolls. Think clean sashimi dinners, chirashi, and nigiri sets alongside Dragon and California rolls, plus those shareable sushi boats when indecision strikes. Ordering is menu-driven rather than omakase. Prices land in the casual to moderate range, with dinner plates typically in the twenties to low forties and wallet-friendly lunch boxes that make midday visits easy.
It works well for mixed tastes. Raw-averse diners can stick to tempura, teriyaki, ramen, or udon, and there are vegetable rolls and veggie tempura for a lighter route. Beer, wine, and sake keep it simple and familiar.
Service is straightforward, reservations are accepted, and walk-ins do fine most days. Delivery and takeout are part of the playbook, useful when a sushi fix calls from the couch. Choose Kanpai 2 when you want reliable rolls and sashimi, fair pricing, and a comfortable room that welcomes groups without fuss.
