I have had Sushi in upscale sushi restaurants in California that was not as good as what I had at Mt Fuji. The tuna is fresh, and the selection of rolls is wonderful. The Volcano roll is covered with an amazing duo of sauces that is heavenly, and it is not deep fried, like others I have had. I recommend the Love Boat.

I stumbled into Me Love Sushi after a tiring day of doing all the normal touristy stuff, and I just wanted something quick, easy and tasty. I tend to avoid fast food joints - hate that artery clogging grease and killer aftertaste of MSGs. Sushi was ideal. Although I had spied the take away Me Love Sushi locations before, this one is a sit down restaurant. You order at the counter - if you can manage to make a decision with such a huge menu - and then sit at a table for your meal to be brought to you once its prepared.

Mekong Cafè Bar is another of these “thai viet sushi places”. It is located at the top of Grünerløkka, competing with next door neighbours like “Sult”. The closest sushi bar I guess is Kitty sushi. Go there instead. My general advice is stick to food you are passionate about. Sushi is NOT just some rice with fish on top… Mekog Cafè Bar is not anywhere near my top sushi list.

From time to time I get the chance to live in Warsaw and every time I’m there, I visit a sushi restaurant called “Ryżowe Pole”. Translated into English it simply means..A Rice Field.
The sushi is very good, fresh and just a bit less expensive than sushi in Norway and yet it is the cheapest place in Warsaw. It does not come with fancy decorations, so do not expect any of that fake grass I get in a sushi place in Brooklyn. I also strongly recommend the Jasmine tea.
Sushi & Thaimat has been recommended on this site before. Thank you guys! Not all of the recommendations we get we agree with, but that is a good thing. It is good that we have our own favorites around town, so that we won’t all be in line at the same places… 
This recommendation I totally agree with though. Sushi & Thaimat was a good experience and I will come back for more…
Right next to Phero sushi you find Grand Sushi. That there is a market for these two sushi take out places up here in addition to Sushihuset just a bit further down on Carl Berners Plass is a mystery, but they are all doing ok it seems like.
Of the three I think I like Grand Sushi the best. It smells clean, the fish is properly kept and laid out, the service is friendly and quite fast, so as a take out place on my way from work, it works very well.

I had the pleasure of going to Russia a couple of weeks ago. Here we were taken out to a great restaurant called Terrassa. It was in a high end shopping house called the Ginza Project, where you can also visit boutique like stores before eating.
Before going to Russia I was warned by someone who had had really bad sushi there, so I was quite sceptical. But that was - at least at Terrassa - quite unfounded.

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.

Jonoe Sushi is a new and very good sushi and asian restaurant located on the west side - in Vinderen, Oslo.
It is founded by two of the star chefs from Alex Sushi and House of Sushi.
Jonoe is a perfect and popular place for lunch, so be sure to book a table in advance.

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.
