Sashimi Japanese Steakhouse Is a Hidden Gem In Maumelle

Hello Socialites!

As you know, I love to eat. When it comes to sashimi and sushi, it has to be fresh, well presented, and delicious. Great sushi is hard to come by if you are a sushi snob. My good friend Mani and I are sushi snobs. We examine the quality of our fish as if we are the head chef. We can see and smell bad fish from miles away. 

I've heard about Sashimi Japanese Steakhouse from Mani who will travel anywhere for great food and Sashimi Restaurant was one of her top places for sushi. I always trust her restaurant dining taste because she is a huge foodie and an amazing cook. And we both love to cook and eat. This girl used to travel over 30 miles to just have a great lunch on her lunch break. Sashimi Japanese is tucked away in Maumelle in a shopping center. It is around 20 miles outside of Little Rock.

We decided to check it out one night. The place was packed by the time we got there and we had to wait for at least 10 minutes. Not bad at all. 

We decided to try a few rolls and a variety of sashimi of course. The owner Tommy Kattavirong welcomed us since we have mutual friends. I heard from hear say he was very meticulous and it definitely shows in his food and style of presentation in his sushi. I was very impress by the quality of the rolls. And I especially love the added touch of fresh flowers.

I told him Sushi Cafe in the Heights need some competition and he is the perfect person to give them a run for their sushi. He said he is happy with where he is at the moment and when the time and opportunity is right in the future, he will plan accordingly. For now he is focused on Sashimi being the best it can be in Maumelle before he decides to expand. 

I recommend everyone stop in and check Sashimi Japanese Steakhouse out in Maumelle. This is definitely on my list of the best sushi place in Arkansas. Thanks Tommy for providing us with great sake to go with our incredible sushi! I definitely will be back again.




Beautiful presentation and unlimited variety of sake! 



Gorgeous rolls!








 Cheers everyone!
