Sun Sushi comes highly recommended by the locals in Torshov, so we were looking forward to going up there. It is one out of at least five sushi bars I know of in the area, so I guess we have to go back up. This sounded like the favorite among many, though. We thought it was just ok.
But it is a neighborhood place and that is nice to have. I would say it also is a typical take away place, sitting there was not either pleasant or inspiring.
I am not sure how long this restaurant has been a sushi restaurant too, but I was a bit worried it would be another thai/vietnamese restaurant wanting to also be a Japanese restaurant. Seldom a good move.
Eat is quite a big restaurant in size, and it also looks quite cosy from the outside. The interior is inviting and it makes you feel like you want to go inside and give them a chance.
The service was just ok. They were not paying much attention to us, and it was far from full when we were there. A bit disappointing.

Definitely the best Sushi place in Brooklyn. I always have a great experience at Bozu and if you’re wondering if you should try it I would say YES!
Try the cold sakes, there are so many to try and they are all amazing. I had such a good experience at Bozu from beginning to end that I find it surprising that anyone could find any fault. I would pay twice as much for the quality of service and meal.
Also, get the party bomb platter! You’ll love it.

Another “Thai restaurant really, but now also sushi bar” kind of place. After a long wait on a not too busy evening, we finally got the waiters attention. The sushi bar part of the restaurant does not seem to get the main attention of the place. The fish was looking kind of lonely there in the sushi case.
We ordered a set menu between us - the sushi combo, which had both nigiri, sashimi and maki. In addition we had the softshell crab. And a sushi pizza. Just because it sounded so weird.

It’s hard to find really good Japanese food in San Diego. Check that. I should say it’s hard to find good sashimi in San Diego. I was introduced to Edo Sushi when a couple of my friends got jobs there as waitresses. Edo Sushi is located in a pretty obscure area in the affluent La Jolla, CA area. It’s in the same plaza as the Rubio’s in the Renaissance community close to the UTC mall.
I knew about this place a few years ago and the sashimi there has always been some of the freshest available. I don’t go there often because sitting at the sushi bar can run up quite the bill. I only go there for special occasions nowadays. As luck would have it, I wanted to take out a good friend and I decided to treat her to some good sushi. As always, I opted to sit at the bar. I have never ordered any of the menu items (teriyaki, bentos, tempura, etc.), so this writeup is ONLY good for the sushi bar.

SOD has been out travelling. Not primarily to try out sushi all over, but that is a positive side-effect. This time - Beijing.
I have had sushi in several countries, and they all seems to be having their own twist to it, which is nice and quaint. In Beijing we had sushi at Hatsune, a restaurant that year after year wins awards for having Beijing’s best sushi. The owner is a Chinese-American from California and he serves an innovative fusion sort of California-meets-Japan menu. According to other reviewers “the locals love it, expats crowd the place and the food is good.”

This is review is from my blog, The New York Sushi Blog — http://www.nysushiblog.com
It seems there are always new Japanese restaurants popping up all over the Upper East Side (as well as the rest of Manhattan for that matter). While these places are good enough for every day sushi cravings, very few of them even come close to Shabu Shabu 70.
Located on East 70th Street between First and Second Avenues, Shabu Shabu 70 is for serious lovers of Japanese cuisine and sushi. Adn the prices reflect that. The tables have tiny pots on them, so you can cook your own entree at your table (usually thinly sliced meats, vegetables and seafood). You can also order tempura, teriyaki and sukiyaki dishes.

The small restaurant is located near London Bridge in the heart of Borough Market – one of the upscale food markets in the city. There are actually a number of Feng Sushi restaurants in London – check their website for more information.

Sushi on acid. As good as it gets!
Well, actually. That was all Sondre told us. So since this review was a bit short I have interpreted his grades and added some information and images from their website:
“A passion, an entire philosophy, that moves traditional Kyoto cuisine into the modern age. Leave the world you know behind. As the only Kyoto style restaurant in the UK, the unique Umu experience invites guests into a haven of tranquitlity, where enlightened design, artfully presented cuisine and sublime service redefine the dining experience.”
