What to order

  • Omakase — Chef's choice, in sequence. The best way to eat at a good sushi restaurant and usually better value than ordering the same number of pieces yourself.
  • Nigiri over rolls — Fish and rice, nothing else. It is where the skill is visible.
  • Whatever is on the specials board — Seasonal fish is the whole reason to eat here rather than somewhere else.
  • Ask what is good today — At a counter this is a normal question with a real answer, not a test.

How to spot a good one

  • Rice at body temperature, not cold — Shari should be just warm, lightly seasoned with vinegar, and loosely packed. Cold, dense, unseasoned rice is the clearest sign that the kitchen is treating sushi as an assembly job.
  • A short, changing selection — A menu listing sixty kinds of fish year-round is buying frozen commodity product. A board with a dozen things that change is buying what is good.
  • The rolls are not the point — Nothing is wrong with a dressed roll, but a restaurant whose menu is mostly elaborate rolls with three sauces is selling something other than sushi. Look at how much space nigiri and sashimi get.

The whole picture is in the sushi guide.
