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.

This place is very near my work and I have been there a couple of times now. 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.”

There are two Taro restaurants in London and both are located near China Town (one in Old Compton Street and the other one in Brewer Street). This time we went out for food for one of my housemate’s birthday and we opted for the Old Compton Street branch. The restaurant is spacious, has a simple but comfortable interior and because of its location in Soho you get a very diverse clientele there.

With 16 people in our apartment, we felt a bit crowded - but in a good way. When you just sit down and get served food in your own kitchen it’s kind of weird, but in the skilled hands of Arne Austbø from Taku Catering, we were so taken care of. It was a wonderful evening and a sushi experience out of the ordinary!
Mr. Austbø is kind of a novelty in the Oslo restaurant scene. You know this when he comes with his own photographer from the most prestigious financial newspaper in Norway following him around. We’re trendsetters… Really!! Taku Catering is just this one guy who comes to your house and cooks fantastic sushi for you. Here is how an evening like that can look like.

Cosmo Thai and Sushi has been around for about a year, but it was only recently that I heard about this place. Weird really, considering their food and also quite stylish interior and restaurant look-and-feel. To cut it short - I really liked this place!
They are located just on the opposite corner from one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Oslo - Yaya’s in Aker Brygge.

We had the need for a late night snack and were really aiming for the kebab place just around the corner from this restaurant. I had never noticed this tiny sushi take away place before. They opened in the winter of 2007, so not been around too long. Another sushi restaurant opened just around the corner in oktober, so they are getting competition. According to the woman behind the counter the neighbors prefer their food to the new one. Maybe competition is a good thing. At least they have to work hard to always be better than the other place…

We walked by Sushi King just on a Saturday for a quick lunch, because that was the kind of place it looked like. And it was. It is another typical hamburger place turned sushi bar.
The whole place smelled really bad, which the guy behind the counter explained to be from the fact that he was making sushi rice vinegar. But to do that at the same time serving people in this tiny place… Not pleasant. It did not make us want to try much of his fish, so we went for cooked and spicy this time.

Japo Sushi looks like a tiny place from the outside. But it has some style. I actually was surprised by how much bigger it felt when we came inside, using four gigantic mirrors on each side giving the room an imaginary depth and space.
We got lucky and came in front of a huge line of take away orders. I guess friday nights are busy, which our next table guests got to feel in particular. They got their food, but never their drinks, so they ended up leaving before even touching their sushi. Quite upset it seemed like. Hmm.

Frogner Sushi Bar just happened to be there when we needed lunch one Sunday afternoon. And it was that kind of place. Nothing special, but ok sushi to go.
Not quite sure if I would like to have their sashimi menus, because their fish looked quite sad and unappetizing actually. Again - this was on a sunday, so they might look and smell better on a “fresh fish day”…
