TONY’S SUSHI (Ocala, FL - Dining)

3405 SW College Rd., Ocala, FL
Phone: (352) 237-3151
Type: Fresh and tasty Sushi in a casual atmosphere

Tony’s Sushi is on Route 200. Tony and Jane own the place, and they’ve been here for five or six years. The white toro and the yellowtail are absolutely delicious--best in the world. Everything’s really fresh. Everybody who works there is really nice and friendly. What I like about it most is I go in there and I don’t ever even order any food. I go in and Tony gives me something fresh, something new he’s created, and you tell him what you like on a regular basis and he’ll make up a new roll. He’s really good. I like the sashimi, but they also have the grilled. They’re open for lunch and dinner, and they’ve got a great wine list. It’s casual. You can go right after the breeze show, but if you wanted to get dressed up, that would be fine, too. It’s Ocala, though, so you don’t have to get really dressed up. You can go in with friends casually and get a terrific meal. I’ve gone to sushi restaurants all over the country and I don’t know if any of them compare to Tony’s.
