The Best Sushi Near Huí Huí, by the Record
-
Rank 1. Sushiyoshi
Edomae Sushi
-
Rank 2. Kitcho
Sushi
A sushi counter in Da'an where the chef has been at this for over three decades, and it shows in the quiet precision of the work. Raw and cooked dishes shift with the season, sake included, so the list you see tonight probably won't exist next month. A Michelin star sits on the wall. The room rewards people who let the chef lead rather than those who arrive with a checklist.

Rank 3. Ken Anhe
Sushi
A Michelin-starred omakase counter in Da'an where the soup course alone justifies showing up, a minced fish dumpling bobbing in kelp bonito stock that manages to feel both precise and generous. Lunch leans toward raw fish and nigiri; dinner shifts into cooked kappo territory. The chef is the chatty kind, which at an omakase counter either charms or unnerves, and here it lands on the right side.

Rank 4. Sushi Kajin
Edomae Sushi

Rank 5. Sushi Ryu
Sushi
Solid wood countertops imported from Canada anchor a room that reads as quietly, deliberately Japanese. This is an omakase-only sushi counter, the kind where the chef controls the entire arc of the meal. Fish comes in from Japan three times a week, and the rice is seasoned with three different vinegars, which sounds fussy until you taste it. The place holds a Michelin star.
