I went for lunch with a friend and we were both so pleased with both the food and the service. My friend ordered tempura from the kitchen and I ordered sushi. I ended up ordering a big sushi roll (Rainbow roll I think?) which was super tasty. The service too was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant!

The hot soup and noodles were a welcome respite from the cold. They were perfectly spiced and hearty. We also had a lovely sushi roll with king crab, eel, and other seafood which was incredible. The rice was perfectly done. Staff were busy and attentive but we did have to wait a little longer than I thought was necessary at times for water refills. It's a small place and was very crowded and noisy so consider this if being able to talk and listen are important to your plans for the evening. One word of warning: When they say they can make a dish hot and ask you to choose a number to indicate a desired level of hotness, choose a number between 1 and 5, not 1 and 10 as they suggest. We chose 5 (sounded like a nice medium) and it was all we could handle. Unless you brush your teeth with Sriracha, you will not enjoy anything over 5!

I was skeptical when Wicked Sushi, Burgers and Bowls first opened in Hood River. Could they realistically prepare such a wide variety of food? Yes they can! Wicked is a favorite restaurant for many Hood River locals because there is something for everyone and everything is delicious. On our most recent visit with friends, we had the 7-Piece Nigiri Sushi with California Roll, the Unagi Bowl, the Panko-Breaded Scallop Bowl, the House Specialty Mafa Chicken Bowl and the Basic Burger (which my husband says is the best burger in Hood River). Amazing dinner! FYI, I can not resist the Ahi Poke Bowl if it is on the daily special board. The service was excellent as always.Is your group having a problem choosing a cuisine for lunch or dinner? Consider Wicked Sushi, Burgers and Bowls.
