Good sushi restaurants smell clean, not fishy. Fish should be shiny and firm.
Start with lighter fish, move to richer. Traditionally ends with egg.
Fine dining spots like Bushido and Sato require booking, especially weekends.
Bushido in Adliya is widely considered the best for omakase and premium sushi. Sato at Four Seasons is excellent for luxury dining.
Ranges from BD 6-15 at casual spots like Yo! Sushi to BD 30-60 at fine dining restaurants for full omakase.
Omakase means "I leave it up to you" — the chef creates a tasting menu of their best dishes. Premium experience at BD 40-80.
