Sherwood Forest just got a hand-roll counter built for people who eat sushi the second it leaves the chef's fingers. Homakase is open at 4611 South Sherwood Forest Boulevard, and the Toast ordering menu reads like a short list of crisp seaweed, warm rice and premium fish meant to be eaten right away.

Owner-chef Duy Nguyen built the concept around that urgency. The room is organized as a hand-roll experience rather than a long maki checklist, with cold plates and nigiri specials for guests who want to linger.

Hand rolls and batches

A la carte rolls include bluefin tuna ($8.50), spicy tuna ($8.50), hamachi ($7), hotate scallops ($9), unagi ($8), toro ($10), snow crab ($9), blue crab ($9.50), shiitake ($7) and shrimp tempura ($5). Sets make sharing easier: the Basic Batch ($24) pairs hotate, spicy salmon and bluefin tuna; the Hangry Batch ($32.50) adds snow crab; the Bougie Batch ($42.50) finishes with toro.

Cold plates include tuna tataki ($14), truffle salmon ($12) and hot hamachi ($10). Specials on the board range from spicy tuna crispy rice ($14) and scallop crudo ($12) to A5 wagyu nigiri ($15) and Duy's salmon special ($12).

Sauces, sake and dessert

Sauce flights matter here. Homa-Hot and Yuzu-Kase sauces are $1.25 each, or $2 together, with extras like truffle shoyu, yuzu aioli and crunchy garlic chili oil. The drink list runs green tea, Japanese-leaning beers, small sake bottles and larger bottles for the table. Japanese cheesecake and matcha beignets close the meal at $9 each.

Homakase's Toast page currently shows hours as closed across the week, so call ahead or check the ordering site before you go. Bring an appetite for hand rolls that do not wait.
