House of Sushi is Casper’s dedicated, no-nonsense sushi destination located in the heart of downtown on South Center Street. While Dsasumo offers fusion, House of Sushi is where you go when you want the focus to remain almost entirely on the fish and traditional Japanese appetizers.

The Sushi Experience

The menu is expansive, ranging from simple, traditional nigiri to elaborate, "western-style" specialty rolls.

  • The Special Rolls: They are known for creative combinations and generous portions.

    • The Cowboy Roll: A local nod featuring slices of sirloin steak on top of a classic California roll—perfect for those who aren't quite ready for raw fish.

    • Volcano Roll: A decadent, baked roll featuring a California roll topped with a mountain of spicy mayo-marinated scallops and mussels.

    • House "Spider" Roll: Featuring crispy soft-shell crab, caviar, and eel sauce.

  • Nigiri & Sashimi: For purists, they offer a solid selection of fresh cuts, including Yellowtail, Albacore, Octopus, and Eel. The Sashimi Sampler is a popular way to test the day's freshest arrivals.

  • Baked & Tempura Options: If you prefer your sushi warm or cooked, they have a large "Cooked Maki" section, including the Dragon Roll (eel and avocado) and various tempura-fried rolls.

Beyond Sushi

If you have a non-sushi eater in the group, the kitchen offers several cooked Japanese staples:

  • The Jalapeño Appetizer: This is a "cult favorite" at the restaurant—seeded jalapeños stuffed with crab and cream cheese, then battered and fried.

  • Ramen & Soup Dumplings: In recent years, they've expanded to offer Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and hearty bowls of Spicy Beef or Miso Ramen, which have become big hits during the cold Wyoming winters.

  • Classic Apps: You’ll find high-quality versions of Gyoza (dumplings), Beef Tataki (seared rare steak), and Baked Mussels.

The Atmosphere

  • The Vibe: It’s quiet, clean, and understated. The decor is simple, making it a great spot for a focused lunch or a calm dinner.

  • Service: The staff is often praised for being incredibly attentive and fast, though they do warn that baked items (like the mussels or Volcano roll) can take about 20 minutes to prepare fresh.

  • Value: Compared to the high-end fusion spots, House of Sushi is often cited as offering a great "bang for your buck" in terms of fish quality and portion size.
