FortyFive Degrees

"This sushi and cocktail bar on Mass Avenue sits at a 45-degree angle, with large glass windows overlooking the street and the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, making for excellent people-watching, both inside and out. There are a large variety of specialty rolls on the broad menu, including the popular Playboy Roll, made with spicy tuna, asparagus, jalapeño, and shrimp tempura, topped with salmon, shrimp, and three sauces — and then lit on fire. You can also get all the traditional rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. Stop by on Sunday for half-priced sushi." - Mike Gillis

I'm going to keep it short and sweet This is some of the best Japanese food I've had ever. The customer service was amazing We came here unexpectedly because everything was closed and we were like the only two people in their eating. The tuna nachos were amazing. We had some dish that was sushi wrapped in foil that they had to set on fire so that it can be cooked right in front of us and when I tell you it was the best sushi ever Oh my God! To the kitchen personally to thank the chef. Everything was right on time and fresh. This is definitely our new go-to spot! I still can't get over how amazing this food was. The orange chicken was really good The rice just seemed a little to sweet. What a preferred a dryer Jasmine rice or even a basmati. But again you see I gave this completely five stars even with that. Bless this place is really a gem. And this isn't a computer-generated AI review this is the real deal 😂

I have had a really hard time finding a good sushi restaurant in Indianapolis that wasn't a cookie cutter of every other around. I have to say that I was completely surprised by this restaurant. The service was beyond exceptional. Our waiter explained everything on the menu, offered his own personal favorites and had the best personality. The sushi itself was everything I have been looking for. I had the Shogun Shooters to start and I was blown away by the tenderness and taste of the sushi. It did even taste like I was eating fish which is a plus in my book. We also had the Hawaiian and Salmon Diablo that was wrapped in the soy paper which has been the best additions to these rolls. Much better than the traditional seaweed wraps. We walked out of there with 3 rolls and 2 drinks for under $50 which by far is a great deal for how well this food was. They could almost charge more per roll and still have some of the best sushi in town. This is definitely a highly recommend and I will be coming back here from now on!!

Okay the sushi here was amazing and our waiter was so nice and awesome. Really knew the menu and gave great suggestions. Will definitely come back!!!! I recommend the Shogun Shooters if you like red snapper and a kick of heat.

We ate lunch here: Boston Rolls, Cajun Ahi Rolls, Corona Rolls, and Shogun Shooters. The guys raved about the food. I felt like the flavor of the crab in the Boston Roll was completely overwhelmed by the cucumber and cream cheese. We waited a long time for our order. Turns out, it was sitting on the counter, forgotten. Oops. Otherwise, the service was great.

I was shocked to see this place with available tables on a Tuesday night as the quality of the food was beyond perfection. I can't wait to go back and eat there again. I am on a diet where I can't have rice, I asked the server to make some rolls without the rice which they were very generous with accommodating my request. My food was extremely good.

Our server was great. We were seated as soon as we walked in. The bathroom was clean. I didn't care for the mocktail, but other than that, I enjoyed dinner. Forty-five degrees is always a good vibe.

Absolutely enjoyed everything about 45 degrees. It was our first time there and everything was delightful. The sushi was very good and fresh. We absolutely loved the playboy roll being lit on fire. The Jelly sake in the photo was the first time I've had it and it was super sweet just like a jello shot. Our waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to Indianapolis.

Our entire experience was great from start to finish. Mark was absolutely amazing and the hostesses were so warm and welcoming and all so pretty. We had kids with us and while they don’t have a kids menu there was plenty for our kids to pick and chose from. Granted our kids love sushi and our youngest is 2 so it was perfect for our situation.
