While you may feel a little intimidated on choosing a sushi restaurant, there are some easy guidelines to follow to ensure a perfect sushi experience.
_
_As a general rule, dine at places with a good reputation for sushi and know that price is not always an indicator of quality. “All you can eat” style sushi, while tempting, is not a sign of high quality.
_
_If most of the items on the menu are cooked rather than raw, then it may be a sign that the fish is either old or poor quality.
_
_Check the temperature of the rice. Sushi rice should be served at room or body temperature. Cold rice is a definite nope.
_
_Avoid soggy seaweed. If the hand rolls and Gunkanmaki are truly fresh, the nori will be crispy and have a nice toasty flavor.
_
_The display case with all of the fish should look pristine and organized, never messy.
_
_Servers should be familiar with the menu and be able to knowledgeably answer any question you have.
_
_If it smells fishy, turn around and leave. Just like when you buy fish from the store or market, if the restaurant smells off, then what they’re serving won’t be fresh or things aren’t being properly cleaned.
