In early 2002, Dave (a software engineer) made a joke that he needed to start a sushi restaurant to feed his own addiction. On June 26th of that year, Dave sold his first sushi roll out of a small corner of a fish market. By February 20th, 2003, the fish market had moved out, Dave took over the lease, and Dave's Sushi was born. That restaurant is now Bozeman's favorite laid back local sushi joint. If you're looking for plush modern trimmings and post - modern art hanging from the walls, this ain't your place. We're about amazingly fresh sushi and a friendly atmosphere modeled after the "hang-loose" style of Hawaii. So please check out our menu and stop on in to our place just a couple blocks from downtown Bozeman.
