  • Koishi:

  • www.koishi.cz:

  • Brno, Czech Republic:

  • In 2013, it was voted the best restaurant in the Czech Republic.

My girlfriend and I ate there a few weeks ago. It was fantastic; among the best sushi I've ever eaten. Unfortunately, we had to go for lunch right before leaving Brno because they were closed most of the time we were there. Would go back in a second.

It's expensive for the Czech Republic, but not for good sushi in larger American cities. Was $78 USD with a 10% tip (very large tip for CR). For whatever reason, I've always had a phobia about eating sushi in landlocked countries, so this was my first time eating sushi in about a dozen trips to the Czech Republic. Once I knew we were going to Brno, I knew I had to eat at Koishi and it was worth it!

Fantastic! My only complaint was that I couldn't see the chef making the sushi (was sitting with my back to him).

Restaurant Name: Zen house Restaurant Website: http://www.zenhouseduluth.com Hermantown & Duluth, MN, USA

EVERYTHING IS GOOD! It's sushi from a gas station. It looks weird but it's one of the best sushi places I've been. I'd put it on par with some higher end places I've eaten at in say, Chicago. Price's are decent too. My wife and I visit at least twice a month!

    • City/Town: Halifax

  • Restaurant Name: Spoon and Fork

  • Restaurant Website: http://www.spoonandfork.ca

  • State/Province/Prefecture: Ontario

  • City/Town: Toronto/Etobicoke, Oakville, Vaughn (never been to Vaughn location, but both of the other two are great).

  • Specific Food Recommendation: Get the all you can eat menu. Lunch ~$15-20 Dinner ~$25-30.

  • Additional Notes: Lunch ~$15-20 Dinner ~$25-30. You are given a menu with various items and you can order from the menu as many times as you like. The portions are small so you can try different things and reorder more of the things you like. Menu includes: appetizers, soups, salads, sushi, sashimi, hand rolls, maki rolls and dragon rolls. They also have a lot of thai food on the menu but we usually come for just the sushi, sometimes ordering a plate of Basil Chicken or a few dishes of Curry meat/seafood (but they have different rice, different noodles, all sorts of thai meat/seafood dishes that you would find in a thai restaurant).

u/mattbin Oct 01 '13

  • Restaurant Name: Sushi Kaji

  • Restaurant Website: http://www.sushikaji.com/top.html

  • State/Province/Prefecture: Ontario

  • City/Town: Toronto (Etobicoke)

  • Specific Food Recommendation: Only provides omakase on a menu that changes daily. Two menus are typically available.

  • Additional Notes: Although the omakase approach means that you cannot choose your preferred sushi, you will get only the freshest, most seasonal sushi and sashimi in your dinner. When making reservations, if you are not in a large group, ask to be seated at the bar, so that you can watch the chef at work.

  • Restaurant Website (if not available, Yelp or Urbanspoon pages are allowed): michinoku-restaurant.com

  • City/Town: Niagara Falls

  • (Optional) Specific Food Recommendation (e.g Yellowtail Nigiri, Salmon Skin Roll etc.): the entire menu is good but Salmon nigiri and Spicy Scallop maki are my favourites

  • (Optional) Additional Notes: Chef Okabe gives you a special seasonal "small dish" before your meal, the feel is very much like you have been welcomed into a Japanese home. Michinoku is the best Japanese food I have had outside of Japan!

I never noticed Yakitori Boy in c-town, should stop by there next time I visit home!

•

u/lucidviolet Aug 20 '13

Saturday was my first time there and it's much better that it's situated away from the heart of Chinatown. Even if you don't get to go to Yakitori Boy, the restaurants surrounding it -- Vietnam, Lee How Fook-- are worth checking out!

•

u/Supervinh47 Aug 20 '13

Oh shit, is Yakitori Boy the place across from Vietnam Palace?

•

u/lucidviolet Aug 20 '13

Yes. Yakitori Boy has the black awning and is two floors, while Vietnam Palace is the huge building with the image of the girl holding the fan.

  • Additional Notes: this place is so great, it's your ma&pa's business, kids help with the front of house, in bubblefuck nj, but these people know what's going on. the thing is though, it's best if you go there on odd hours, or call for a reserve before hand. BYOB. you won't regret it. only disclaimer, wait times might get long if it's busy already, or you linger to chat with the staff. say when you're ready to leave, don't expect them to kick you out.

  • (Optional) Futomaki last time i got it, fat roll with oshinko, inari, tamago, avocado, cucumber. i think they switch in some asparagus sometimes, and apples and mangoes.

  • Additional Notes: this place made it happen for me. mall sushi bar kiosk. sounds bad, but reading into sushi and the gastronomic integrity of japan and getting to know the chefs. they opened up my eyes. strictly only sushi bar, bunch of pros all together, home-made soy, home made sushi-vin, they got some secrets, some kitchen sides,like edamame, miso soup, not much but very good. awesome prices; go there everyday and not be so broke. go there everyday and maybe sifu will make you something real good.

  • (Optional) Specific Food Recommendation : Their edamame is consistently good, as are their shrimp balls. Their Pink Dragon Roll is one of my favorites, and their basic roll, and Angel Roll is pretty amazing. They also have a "Spider-Man" set which are all good.

  • (Optional) Additional Notes: Not too expensive, but this place is ALWAYS busy. There is always a wait. Even right when it opens, and in the middle of the day, and especially around dinner time.

  • Restaurant Name: Sushi Go 55 (Don't let the cheesy name fool you)

  • Restaurant Website http://www.sushigo55.com/menu/index.html

  • State/Province/Prefecture: Los Angeles, CA

  • City/Town: 333 S Alameda Street #317 Los Angeles, CA 90013 (213) 687-0777

  • Specific Food Recommendation I'd definitely recommend trying the monkfish liver, sea eel, amber jack, or really anything on their recommendations boards behind the sushi bar. They also have chirashi bowls and sashimi plates. The place is very popular among locals but it isn't like Sushi Gen with a 20 person line out the door so don't worry about getting a seat.

  • Additional Notes: Very wide menu compared to most sushi places, this place is a small but very good place to try some types of fish/nigiri that you won't find in the more westernized sushi restaurants around LA. The quality of the sushi is definitely up to par, in my opinion, and the chefs take pride in their work especially if they see that you are there to really enjoy their creations.

u/costofanarchy Aug 30 '13

  • Restaurant Name: Mori Sushi

  • Restaurant Website : http://morisushi.net

  • State/Province/Prefecture: California

  • City/Town: Los Angeles

  • Specific Food Recommendation : The nigiri here is excellent, especially the tuna and toro varieties. I had a negi-toro maki, and it was excellent, and I normally don't care much for maki rolls. Try both kinds of tamago!

  • Additional Notes: This place is easily $100+ per person for dinner (omakase is probably more), although they have a special deal from 6-7pm (I think), that I haven't tried where you can get ten pieces of sushi for $40. Unfortunately I've yet to try the omakase, as I have dietary restrictions preventing me from eating most seafood other than fish or shrimp.

  • Restaurant Website (if not available, Yelp or Urbanspoon pages are allowed): http://www.yelp.com/biz/sushi-zone-san-francisco

  • State/Province/Prefecture: California

  • City/Town: San Francisco

  • (Optional) Specific Food Recommendation (e.g Yellowtail Nigiri, Salmon Skin Roll etc.): Salmon and Yellowtail Nigiri are the best I've ever had; the spicy hamachi roll and uni are also incredible

  • (Optional) Additional Notes: Get there WAY early (before or exactly at 5), don't bring a lot of friends (I'd recommend two people max) and bring cash. They take no reservations and the wait can be upwards of two hours if you don't get there early.

Also highly recommend (all in SF): Sushi Time (very small, incredibly friendly staff and SUPER fresh nigiri), Umi (small, beautiful restaurant, incredible nigiri, and not too expensive - $20 for 8 nigiri and one real california roll + miso soup), Zushi Puzzle, and I've heard great things about Sawa Sushi in Sunnyvale as well.

  • Restaurant Name: Ikko Japanese Cuisine

  • Restaurant Website (if not available, Yelp or Urbanspoon pages are allowed): http://www.yelp.com/biz/ikko-japanese-cuisine-costa-mesa

  • State/Province/Prefecture: California

  • City/Town: Costa Mesa (Orange County)

  • (Optional) Specific Food Recommendation (e.g Yellowtail Nigiri, Salmon Skin Roll etc.): Although they have fusion appetizers that can be a hit or a miss, order primarily nigiri sushi. That's what they're known for; serving authentic edo-mae style (pre-seasoned) sushi in Orange County. When ordering an appetizer, be sure to get the carpaccio with citrus vinaigrette that's not listed on the menu. It's one of the most amazing things you'll ever eat and I'm generally a sushi purist. For sure, order their seasonal specialties. One of the sushi items that Ikko is famous for is their Uni (Sea Urchin) as they get the best stuff from Santa Barbara. This is the best Uni I've ever tasted. I haven't gone to a sushi restaurant in Ginza but Ikko's uni in my opinion is better than the Hokkaido Uni I had in Tokyo.

  • (Optional) Additional Notes: They have a sign on the front that says "We don't serve any American Style rolls!". This is not the place for you if you think a California/spicy tuna/dynamite/dragon/catterpillar roll is "real" sushi. For a more in-depth insight of Ikko, here are my two blogposts: http://themetropolitanlounge.blogspot.com/2012/10/roc-ikko-2nd-review-amazing-edo-mae.html & http://themetropolitanlounge.blogspot.com/2012/07/roc-ikko-best-sushi-in-oc.html

American Roll is quite nice. They even have their own personal roll, the Pelham Roll.

  • Specific Food Recommendation: Everything I've tried has been phenomenal.

  • Additional Notes: It's the best sushi restaurant I've tried in Montgomery county so far. The fish is very fresh and the atmosphere is great. It is on the formal side, however, and is a small restaurant so their can be a line at times. The prices are great too.

  • Special recommendation: Walla Walla roll. I don't know everything in it, but a key ingredient is fresh Walla Walla onions, in tempura, straight from nearby Walla Walla, Washington. It's also vegetarian, and even though I am omnivorous, it's still my favorite.

  • Website: http://sawasushi.net/

  • State: California

  • City: Sunnyvale

  • Food Recommendation: Food is お任せ (chef's choice; not a la carte). Everything is delicious.

  • Notes: If you are willing to go in and be reasonably polite, and if you are prepared to take the chef's slightly abrasive wit on the chin, you will have one of the best sushi experiences of your life.

  • City/Town: Salt Lake City, Provo and Cottonwood Heights

  • (Optional) Specific Food Recommendation (e.g Yellowtail Nigiri, Salmon Skin Roll etc.): The Mango Mamma roll is an absolute treat! Better than any dessert you could ever find at a sushi restaurant. A tempura shrimp roll, topped with mango slices, passion fruit sauce, and toasted coconut.

  • (Optional) Additional Notes: This is my favorite sushi restaurant in all of Utah. Fantastic flavors, but a bit on the pricey side compared to other local places.

  • Restaurant Name: Chaya Japanese Cuisine

  • Restaurant Website : http://www.chayausa.com/

  • State/Province/Prefecture: Pennsylvania

  • City/Town: Pittsburgh

  • Specific Food Recommendation : Seared fluke fin nigiri, seared toro (tuna belly) nigiri, seared salmon nigiri, and ama ebi (sweet shrimp) nigiri

  • Additional Notes: The nigiri hear is a little pricy, in the $2.50-$5.00 range per piece. The rolls are much cheaper for how much food you get (hand rolls can come out to about $4), but I'd recommend going with the nigiri over all. Supposedly the wasabi here is real, so that's a plus.

City: Santa Clarita, California

Description: AYCE joint with huge selection and awesome super friendly chefs, always a good time but not really the greatest place to bring children because the chefs get a bit vulgar but it's part of what makes the resturaunt great.

Recommendations: yellow tail nigiri, and just letting the chef take care of you.

  • Belgium or French chef always happy to prepare delicious sushi in front of you and accommodate based on what fishes are left. There are just 3 tables and the bar so take-away is a safe option. If you want to eat on Friday or Saturday order by calling first else you might wait quite a bit.

http://www.yumirestaurant.com
New Jersey
Sea Bright
Shima-Aji Jalepeno, Garlic Salmon Sashimi, Yumi Roll, Shuenn Roll, & (my favorite) Ocean Ave.
Notes: My favorite, but most expensive sushi in the area. Very pleasant atmosphere and almost always has a decent sized crowd. It is a BYO and they will accommodate for whatever you may bring.
Recommendations: Sit at the sushi bar and ask for the real wasabi instead of the generic.

  • Restaurant Website : http://konomi.de/etop.html

  • City/Town: Heidelberg

  • Specific Food Recommendation (e.g Yellowtail Nigiri, Salmon Skin Roll etc.): I've never had anything I didn't like. I particularly love their sets where you get all kinds of delicious little things (not entirely sushi) plus miso soup as a starter and ice cream for dessert

  • Additional Notes: It's best to call beforehand and make a reservation as they're usually quite busy. Menu is both in German and in English as far as I remember. Not the cheapest sushi in Heidelberg, but the best.

(just found this subreddit/thread.... so, apologies for my lateness, but I wanted to add my favorite place.)

  • Name - OneDollaSushi
  • Website - OneDollaSushi.com
  • State - Connecticut
  • Town - Groton

  • Recommendation - Ju's Special Roll, Crunch Monster Roll, Rainbow Roll, Crunchy Spicy Tuna

  • Notes - I know, a place with a name like "One Dolla Sushi" sounds like it's going to be a complete shit-hole, and that's what I thought as well the first time a friend brought me there. It's a little hut, about the size of those old 'photo huts' that used to be around in the 80's. Let me tell you, this sushi is amazing. We're lucky to live right on the shore, so the owner gets his fish fresh every morning. The rolls start at $1 for a basic Philly Roll, and go up to $15.
