Expect nigiri (a slice of fish over rice), maki rolls, and often sashimi and hand rolls (temaki) alongside it. Quality hinges heavily on the fish itself, so freshness and sourcing tend to matter more here than at a general Japanese restaurant with a wider menu.

A sushi restaurant narrows in on sushi specifically rather than the broader Japanese menu, whether that's a fast-turnover counter doing nigiri and rolls or a higher-end spot built around an omakase tasting menu chosen by the chef.

Looking at the 4 sushi restaurant listings we track, the highest concentration is in Westminster (3), Greenwich (1).

Sushi is one of the most fish-dependent formats on this site, built almost entirely around raw and lightly cured seafood, which makes it a natural stop for anyone specifically after fish rather than a general Japanese menu.
