Favorite Sushi Restaurants

01-26-2011, 11:13 AM

This is a follow up thread to my Steak topic. I think this would be a good place to come and find suggestions for places to eat if BOTL's are traveling out of town either for work or whatever. Sushi is another cuisine that I adore.

Ok, so here is a place in Chicago that is great. Rolls 'N Bowls. It's on North Lincoln Avenue and Catalpa. The place is very small, only sits like 8 or 10 people at most. Reserve a table if you are eating after 7. The quality of the Sushi is top notch, and prices are good. It is BYOB too.

Next time I'm near the city, I want to try Sushi Wabi. That place is sushi heaven from what I hear.

In Orlando, Amura rules and it's next door to Corona Cigar.

Here South of Charlotte I have tried many places not too far from the house and I really like Kami in Wesley Chapel. In Charlotte CowFish is supposed to be really goo but have not tried it yet. The specialize in Sushi and Hamburgers. Sounds like a weird combo but everyone I know that's been there loves it.

Wasa in Tustin, CA is killer and quite innovative. If you are in the Portland area, the best thing to do is ask a local at the time, since there are so many and it really depends on which sushi chef is where at the time. But Sinju at Bridgeport Village is always outstanding.

It is kind of traditional, in a sushi thread, to point out that sushi is vinegar'd rice. I'm partial to sashimi and donburi myself.

I actually got to try them two weeks ago. Their spicy chirashi was phenomenal.

Two places I can recommend in the Central Virginia area:

Akida (in Richmond near the museum district)
http://richmond.citysearch.com/profi..._japanese.html

and

Chopstix (a bit further west in Midlothian)
http://www.yelp.com/biz/chopstix-asi...nge-midlothian

Both very reasonable, great sushi with an artistic flair

Mikimotos in Wilmington, DE. Got a parking ticket last time because I lost track of time.

I enjoyed Shabuya in Las Vegas, but that was a few years ago.

Noble Fish, in Clawson, Michigan. It is just north of Royal Oak (popular bar district), or 15 miles north of Detroit.

Anyway, it is really a Japanese fish market that has a sushi counter in the back. They have probably enough seating for 15. They have won awards year after year for best sushi in the state.

Prices are great, sushi/sashimi is even better. Here's a link to their website. If you click on "Restaurant" near the top you'll see more info and a link to their menu with pricing.

Sushi Alive in Tampa Island Way Grill in Clearwater. Grille 54 in Trinity. All three get their Seafood daily. All very fresh. Island Way also has a few cigars( I bring my own) and allow smoking on the outside bar and patio.

Sushi Wabi, I really want to eat there.

MF in Atlanta is fantastic but it is normally out of my price range unless a special occasion.

I like my local place Thaicoon and Sushi Bar in Marietta but I love going to Aomi in Norcross when I am over near my parents (both Marietta and Norcross are suburbs North of Atlanta)

I think I posted this video in the "general" sushi thread we have here, but I figured I would post it here also. If I had the money, I would fly to Japan just to eat here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuhu4QZJZyw
