SPECIALTY SUSHI ROLLS AT LIONFISH
If you’re a sushi connoisseur, then we have some ground to cover. The chefs at Lionfish work tirelessly with one goal in mind: to wow your taste buds with adventurous and unique, yet tried and true flavor profiles. Sushi is an artform that we take seriously, and our specialty rolls will evoke your senses in ways never before thought possible. Tradition is always a great way to know your roots, but modern artistry and innovation is how we bring new ideas to the plate. Let’s take a look at what we have to offer.

NOT INTO SUSHI?
If you’re along for the ride, and sushi isn’t your thing, you’re in good hands. Our Grilled Beef Ponzu Skewers (beef tenderloin, “banchan” glaze, grated daikon, whiskey barrel aged ponzu, shiso) might be more up your alley. And who can go wrong with our Crispy Rock Shrimp (gochujang, japanese style aioli, negi)? If you come with a huge appetite (or want to share), then our 30 oz. Snake River Wagyu Eye of Ribeye (with roasted wild mushrooms, wasabi, and LF1 sauce) is pretty much the holy grail. And let’s not forget about our Roasted Jiddori Chicken (black trumpet sauce, salsify, black garlic, swiss chard). It never hurts to go with a classic.
Even sushi and seafood restaurants know that there needs to be something for everybody, and we’re so glad to accommodate with a unique and robust menu.
