Sushi Restaurants in Bangkok

If you love sushi and you're heading to Bangkok, you’re in luck. The city's sushi scene is surprisingly diverse, ranging from tiny hole-in-the-wall joints in Ari to sleek, upscale places in Thonglor. You don’t have to spend a fortune to savor fresh fish here, though the pricier omakase experiences are definitely worth it if you want to splurge.

One of my go-to spots is Sushi Masa near Ekkamai , simple, straightforward, great value, and the tuna is always fresh. Fancy something a bit different? Check out Sushi Cyu & kuro in Sukhumvit; they do really creative rolls without being overly fussy. Tip: if you see uni (sea urchin) on the menu, grab it, Bangkok’s got decent uni but it’s seasonal so act fast during the winter months.

Don’t overlook the sushi found inside local markets like Or Tor Kor. It’s not just about fresh produce; there are vendors who serve up quick, tasty nigiri at unbeatable prices. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try saba (mackerel) sushi , it’s often flown in from Japan and done right here, with less fuss than the usual salmon or tuna options. Just avoid places with fluorescent lighting and fake wasabi packets,they don’t do sushi justice.
