Sushi Sushi
8.0
Sushi Sushi is a long-running Amsterdam Avenue standby that pairs an extensive roll list with the option to buy sushi-grade fish by the piece. It functions as both a takeout workhorse and a casual dine-in spot for students and locals who want generous combo deals. The focus is on variety and practicality rather than atmosphere, with strong value for regular sushi nights at home.
