Such a great sushi spot in Madison! Having lived in California my entire life, I was a bit skeptical about sushi in the Midwest but I can confidently say that the experience at RED is just as good as any you'd have on the West Coast.
I usually get some sort of chef's choice sushi/sashimi because I like having a range options and I have never been disappointed by the selection of fish offered to me. Their sushi is fresh, delicious, and beautifully plated. They have a decent selection of beer, sake, cocktails and my favorite is the lychee martini. It is delightfully sweet but not overpoweringly so and comes with a whole piece of juicy lychee, which is a nice touch. The service here is attentive - you'll probably rarely ever have your water glass empty -- and the decor is hip and tasteful. The prices are pretty fair too for what you get. Their lunch special is an especially good deal, considering that sushi is also more filling than I expect it to be. RED is my go-to choice for sushi in Madison and I look forward to many delicious meals to come.
