Must Try Sushi in Central Indiana

Contrary to a Facebook comment I got a couple weeks ago claiming Indianapolis gets its sushi from the city sewers (yes, I’m calling you out, Jim!!), we really do have some awesome sushi spots in Indy and Central Indiana.

One thing you may notice with this particular Indy sushi list, however, is that many of the spots below are more of a “restaurant that also has sushi” rather than an honest-to-goodness sushi restaurant. While I am a sushi fiend, my husband… is not. So, I have made sure to note the restaurants below that are “Land-Lover Approved,” meaning it is a restaurant that also caters to our friends who prefer their food to come from above sea level.

Here are just a few sushi spots (or spots with sushi) I have tried recently in Indianapolis and the surrounding areas:

SALT 📍 Multiple Locations

SALT is a seafood restaurant that has a handful of crowd-pleasing sushi rolls on the menu. During our last “girl dinner,” we got about 5 different appetizers here and shared them all, which I highly recommend doing! And you can definitely share the large Birkin cocktail or mocktail while you’re at it. 😉

Salt on Mass 📍 505 Massachusetts Ave, Indianapolis, Indiana

Salt Carmel at City Center 📍 11 City Center Dr Suite 101, Carmel, Indiana (featured in the video)

Salt at Geist 📍 10158 Brooks School Rd, Fishers, Indiana

FortyFive Degrees 📍 765 Massachusetts Ave, Indianapolis, Indiana

*Land-Lover Approved

FortyFive Degrees on Mass Ave is such a vibe! The colors and flavors are always vibrant and unique. They also always have great specials going on like Sushi Sundays (half off rolls 3-10pm), Wednesday half-price wine bottles, Thursday half-price cocktails, and a $10 lunch special!

Harmony Steakhouse 📍 Multiple Locations

*Land-Lover Approved

Not only do they have amazing sushi, but the hibachi is sooooo good! I can’t wait to go back in the summer because they have some hibachi grill tables outside on the patio. Plus, this is one of the best lunch specials in Indy: 2 Rolls + Soup or Salad for $17 or 3 Rolls + Soup or Salad for $21.

Downtown Indy 📍 5145 Noggle Way, Indianapolis, Indiana (featured in the video)

Greenwood 📍 220 N Meridian St, Indianapolis, Indiana

Whitestown 📍 6124 Mills Drive, Whitestown, Indiana

COMING SOON! 📍 1030 W Main St, Carmel, Indiana

1933 Lounge 📍 Multiple Locations

*Land-Lover Approved

This is deeeefffinitely one of those “restaurants that also have sushi,” but I love getting a little of that famous St. Elmo’s cocktail sauce on my sushi roll. Perfect place for those of us with partners who prefer steak over seafood!

Downtown Indy 📍 127 S Illinois St, Indianapolis, Indiana

Carmel Indiana 📍 175 S Rangeline Rd Suite 100, Carmel, Indiana (featured in the video)

Fishers Indiana 📍 9707 District N Dr Suite 1120, Fishers, Indiana

Blue Sushi Sake Grill 📍 2721 E 86th St STE 100, Indianapolis, Indiana

*Land-Lover Approved (and this one is actually our favorite!)

I fell in love with Blue Sushi while I lived in Lexington for college. So, to find out they had a location in Indianapolis was an “angels singing” moment for me. Their happy hour sushi specials are LEGIT with reduced price sushi, apps, cocktails, and more ALL DAY every Sunday + open to 6:30pm the rest of the week.

Sushi Yama 📍 6020 E 82nd St Suite LL03, Indianapolis, Indiana

ALL. YOU. CAN. EAT. SUSHI. Yup, you heard that right. What I love about this AYCE sushi spot in Indy is that the sushi rolls, appetizers, salad bar, and ice cream are all included in the one price. The dinner price is $35.95 and lunch is $22.95.

Hanami Sushi + Sake Bar 📍 703 Veterans Wy, Carmel, Indiana

This sushi is FIRE… literally. Now, not all the sushi rolls come out on a bed of flames, but this one does! And I love that I can taste the fiery grill flavor on this roll. This is that place in Carmel, Indiana with all the pretty bright pink trees out front! Perfect for girls’ night out or a little solo date action.

Noah Grant’s Grill House + Oyster Bar 📍 91 S Main St, Zionsville, Indiana

Another great happy hour deal at Noah Grant’s in Zionsville, Indiana! $10 sushi rolls, cocktails, and oysters 4-5pm Tuesday-Saturday when you sit at the bar. Keep an eye on this one when Devour Indy rolls around. They always have a really good deal during those events!

Chiba 📍 228 Park St, Westfield, Indiana

I really love Chiba for their patio dining (click the video to see what I mean). And now that it is getting warmer out, this is definitely a place to add to your list! Come on a Wednesday for all night happy hour deals!

The Courthouse Club 📍 110 N 9th St, Noblesville, Indiana

*Land-Lover Approved

One of the meals that altered my brain chemistry in 2025. The sushi, the views, and all the other food we tried here are absolutely worth the drive up to Noblesville from Indy. Make a day of it and explore Noblesville afterward! They have adorable shops, clothing boutiques, and the cutest book cafe ever.

The Boathouse Kitchen + Swan Dive 📍 409 W Jackson St, Cicero, Indiana

*Land-Lover Approved

I already have a plan to come back here this summer because it was THAT good. Plus, the views are unmatched. A warm Indiana summer day with a sushi roll, live music, and cocktails in hand while watching the sunset over the water? Say less.
