Sushi

Sushi is a Japanese dish of prepared vinegared rice, usually with some sugar and salt, accompanied by a variety of ingredients, such as seafood—often raw—and vegetables. Styles of sushi and its presentation vary widely, but the one key ingredient is "sushi rice", also referred to as shari, or sumeshi.

Others: Best Sushi

We have 12 sushi locations listed. There's a good "go-to" shop at each budget.

What makes the best Sushi? Some things we are fans of include:

  • Freshness of the fish.
  • Quality of the rice and its seasoning.
  • Variety of fish.

We usually eat sushi at home. We are lucky enough to have sushi grade fish available locally.

Fun Fact: When Japanese think of sushi they primarily think of fish served raw (sashimi), or over a pinched chunk of seasoned rice (nigiri). Things like rolls are an Americanized version.
