5 Sushi in Sydney

As anyone reading this likely already knows, Sydney is buzzing. It’s a world-famous city – so famous that often people wrongly assume it’s Australia’s capital – with a strong Asian influence and plenty of coastline, both of which are huge contributing factors when it comes to Sydney’s sushi credentials. Heck, you could even say Sydney is the perfect sushi city. Why? Well, first off, sushi joints in Sydney aren’t exactly few and far between and most of them – particularly those you’ll find on Quandoo – are damn good. Second, sushi lends itself perfectly to bustle of Sydney as it can be enjoyed just as well on the go and as it can be around a table. However you’re enjoying your sushi, in Sydney there’s no right way or wrong way, just a whole load of freshness and booming Japanese flavours.

It goes without saying that sushi has to be fresh – arguably more so than any other type of food out there – so from any sushi joint in Sydney you can expect, well, freshness, as well as vibrancy and tang. Good sushi should have rice that’s not too hard and separated but also not so stuck together that it feels like you’re eating fudge. After that, common ingredients used for sushi here in Sydney include avocado, pumpkin, cucumber, radish, seaweed and sometimes even asparagus. If sashimi is more your bag, popular fish and seafood varieties go as far as salmon, squid, mackerel, tuna, snapper and even octopus. Of course, sushi spots in Sydney won't always have everything, but with sushi and sashimi, it’s always better to go with quality over quantity.
