My partner and I had tickets to see a show at the Palace Theater, and we were looking for a good restaurant, within walking distance, at which to eat prior to the show.We settled on Rishi.We've eaten here a handful of times in the past, and the food never disappoints.The space is small, but the food is big on taste and quality.I started with the cucumber and carrot salad, followed by a Columbus Roll and Pacific Rim Roll (sushi rolls).My partner asked about gluten free selections, and the server brought out an actual gluten free menu.The food was outstanding, as was the service.I highly recommend this place.

Hi Robert — Thank you for taking time to leave us a review! We are happy to see you enjoyed our food and service! We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the near future and hope you enjoyed your show at the Palace Theater!
A so-so place.Sushi was good.Ramen was not; bland plain presentation with regular spinach, overcooked noodles, and an overcooked egg.Really not good at all, especially when compared with the 5-star ramen places in Cbus. The ambiance is ok.Could use a makeover.Seats on the lower level felt cavernous under the split level section. Not sure if we'll be back.
Stopped by Rishi Sushi Kitchen and Bar after watching Annie at the Palace Theater nearby.Smaller location, but easy seating.It was actually pretty empty for the time it was on a Saturday.Service was fine at first but slowed down as more people came in. It was okay sushi and the choices weren't huge but majority of the stuff was there.Toro Salmon was $9 a piece which seems like a lot.Others were like $2.50 to $5 per piece.The Rishi Ramen was okay but I wouldn't say it is ramen.It was more of a sweet soy broth and felt more like an udon broth.The Pacific roll read on the menu better than it came out.For one of the most expensive rolls, didn't think it was too special.Decent place, not the best sushi place or ramen bar
