Recommended

Tier 1

• Taneda Sushi in Kaiseki
  • Very hard to get reservations! Best bet is to sign up for cancellation notifications, or stalk their page at midnight for a spot 60 days out
• Sushi Kashiba
• Altura

Tier 2

• Copine
• Eight Row
• Carrello
  • Altura's younger sibling, just as solid at a lower price point
• Cook Weaver
• Archipelago
• Cafe Juanita
  • Four tasting menus (omnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian, and vegan) and you're allowed to mix and match components of each
• The Herbfarm
• Surrell
  • They are very slow. Expect a 2.5-3 hr long meal
• The Shambles (no longer offered)

Tier 3

• ILMU
  • Pretty solid based on a first visit, could move up through the tiers if it holds up
  • A bit too reliant on foaming things as a gimmick, wish there was more variety
• Canlis
  • mostly for the views and to see if new executive chef is doing anything interesting
• Ltd Edition Sushi
  • solely fish focused (unlike, e.g. Taneda)
  • generous sushi sizes
  • flavor mixes a little hit or miss
• Sushi by Scratch
  • Very fusion, but keeps the flavors subtle so they work pretty well
  • Vibe is too modern for our liking
• Sushi Suzuki
• TOMO
  • Portions are on the smaller side

Tier 4

• Takai by Kashiba
  • The "free" parking situation really brings this low. They pair with some commerical building whose time limit isn't even long enough for the omakase and who tickets you literally a minute past your time window
• Sushi Kappo Tamura

Decent

• Eden Hill
• Wataru
• SAI Sushi & Sake
• Haymaker
• Corson Building
• Wa'z
• Violet
