but recently cheched out asakaze, their chicken teriyaki sushi is realllllllly good, they put in this massive chicken piece inside and it tastes amazing, $2.80 for it :) they have heaps of stores everywhere, right now i can think of the one in wynyard and parra...

Sushi Choo in the City. It's down the alleyway near Peter Alexander across from Wynyard station on George St. It's part of the Merivale Group. Strikingly fresh seafood, great service and extremely well made. Not the usual salmon, tuna & kingfish sashimi or california roll (gasp!). Interesting stuff like scallop sashimi, eel, various types of makimono rolls, nigiri sushi etc etc. Made it into the SMH Foodies Guide to Sydney the last few years. Worth a visit. Look it up on Google if you want.

I like the sushi train in Newtown, althought it should be bigger...stuff waiting for a seat.
There used to be a sushi shop in the westfield (i think) on Pitt Street in the city that had the best smoked salmon and cream cheese sushi rolls...effing YUM

as for your question,

the 'best' sushi is sydney would probably be at an exclusive Japanese restaurant.

as for the other responses of '$2.50 rolls/sushi train'.
sorry guys, that's not quality sushi.
think about it, when good quality tuna goes for $1000+/kg in japan

how can a $3.50 plate at sushi train cut it?


i think the best sushi i've had was $80 for 4 little rice/sashimi things, which you can probably get for $5 here in sydney from those take out places.

now that was the best i've had, higher quality 7+ stuff
im not going to spend more than that for something i can't really taste the difference in.

to put it to scale the sushi from those sushi train franchises would probably be a 2.5 at the most

Yoshii just near Circular Quay. It's pricey ($100 per head) but amazing. Has two chef's hats atm and is in the Top 25 restaurants in the country.

On the tuna, you are absolutely right. It's usually poor quality and low in fat. The top of the line toro is amazing, as long as you know what to taste for, your palate is well trained and refined and is prepare correctly.
