TSUKI Tokyo

Tsuki was a lovely landing place for our first of 5 (!) stops in Japan over two weeks. The location in particular was great because it felt quiet and residential but we were only about 10 min from the major shopping avenue, about 5 min from Tsukiji fish market, etc. Staff was kind and helpful. Rooms were quite small which is standard for Japanese hotels and which I expected; just sharing because with two suitcases we had to get creative; one of us ended up keeping ours on a make-shift luggage stand in a corner of the bathroom 😆

Day 1, and the all the things are amazing. Location, service and the size of the room. We booked 301 ft2 room for 2 adult and 1 child and the size of room is enough. Hygiene and staff approach almost perfect. I can not criticize anything for now. And the location is so easy and close to Ginza Center. You can reach everywhere easily.

This is not a luxury hotel, it’s a 3 star hotel located between Ginza & Tsukiji, it’s a small well-designed hotel. The room is minimalist style, mainly made of wood, birch wood color with natural earth tones, the wall is painted with gray color. Room design is simple and comfortable, wooden bathtub is very special. The hotel has a paid private hot spring bath, very relaxing and comfortable, which is quite well-equipped. The hotel staffs assisted us well, except the manger who is not really friendly and professional. I assumed if she is still working at Tsuki hotel, she should improve more. Well, I recommend it to anyone who values ​​interior design style as much as I do.

Fantastic hotel! The staff were incredible - nothing was too difficult. Rooms were small but this is expected of Tokyo. The private bath and foot massage machine were an added treat. Great location too - lots of fantastic eating options within walking distance.

Everything was amazing, but I have to say I was really impressed with the in-room coffee bar set up. Me and my husband's room included a mini fridge fully stocked with drinks, a Nespresso coffee machine, 4 different Nespresso cups, and cream and sugar. No other hotel I've stayed in has had this coffee set up available in just the room! It was all very clean, the bath was luxurious, kind staff and comfy bed on a quiet street with a train station right down the road. Really nice!

TSUKI was one of the best hotels during one of my Tokyo stops. The concierges were very welcoming and the hotel location was close to the Ginza shopping district + train station, so convenience was excellent. I mainly selected this hotel as the price was reasonable with a private hot spring, but also surprisingly came with a spacious room for two people, considering the average sizes of Japan rooms. Definitely a hidden gem! (quite literally as it's located in a discrete neighborhood)

Amazing everything! Our room was big enough for my husband and I. It was modern and very nice. The staff is so kind and helpful. Japanese bento breakfast was delicious. We tried both salmon and chicken. We booked the private bath and you get the entire floor to yourself. It was $14 foot an hour I believe. Drinks, snacks, bath, bath products, and foot massage machines. Location is great too. 5 minute walk to all the big stores, subway station and quiet street. Will stay here again!

Extremely hospitable concierge and conveniently located hotel. We arrived before our check-in time due to our jet-lagged kids needing a chill spot to recover and we were so grateful to be accommodated ahead of schedule. Rooms are clean, cozy, comfortable and efficient. The hinoki tubs are a highlight and the kid-friendly amenities were a huge hit. Thank you for hosting us!

Amazing! The best sushi ever! Nice lunch . Great people. My company is here for A good reason ! Thanks a lot ! Love Tokyo

Went to the adjacent Sushizqbmai that has a conveyer belt. Casual. Nice selection. Friendly chef, who you can also ask for certain pieces. Take what you want and leave the rest, you're charged per plate you pick up. I felt the sushi was very fresh, good since you're in the fish market. I liked the green tea at the table and felt the overall quality was good value.

The owner known for paying the most amount ever for a single Tuna is what I remember about this place. It gave me the vibes that the owner only wants the best fish/seafood that the market offers to their customers. The food definitely is great here and you should not be disappointed after dining here. The prices are little bit higher so it may be marked up little bit but quality is still there. I do rank another place slightly higher overall. But if you see this place which has many locations, you definitely will be satisfied. The tsukiji market location is very loud and touristy but it can be an experience if you want to think of it like that. There usually is a wait depending of time and day of the week you come here. I really enjoyed their seaweed soup which was unique, very flavorful. Their tuna cuts were great, super oily, lot of leakage ont he plate though, not sure if it's supposed to be like that because of how fatty the tuna is or maybe should have kept it little more refrigerated so it stays within the meats.

In the bustling madhouse of the Tsukiji Outer Market on a Saturday morning, I stumbled upon the Sushizanmai location that had an outside counter serving up small assortments of various sushi for ¥2,000 per tray, cash only. I got the 4-piece tuna assortment and grabbed a set of chopsticks and a dollop of wasabi and a squirt of soy sauce before snagging a quick photo and being shooed away so the line could keep moving. Whoa, this was delicious!! Soft, fresh and tender tuna atop perfectly seasoned rice, this was some of the most amazing sushi I ever had. As soon as I finished, I went straight back to get another set, this time two different pieces of tuna with uni - it melted in my mouth. So good! If you're visiting the Tsukiji Outer Market, bring your cash and an empty belly and stop by Sushizanmai!!

Quick and easy place to grab sushi. Fresh sushi and the place is pretty big. Very close to all the shopping center.

TLDR: Sushi Zanmai, famous all over Japan - this is the main store right by Tsukiji. It is 24 hour and if you're just flying in or in the mood for a late night sushi meal; they got you covered. Definitely take advantage of the tuna nigiri sets. Somehow I end up here on every trip. Either when the jet lag kicks in and I wake up in the middle of the night. After going out or for breakfast. Nothing fancy but if you want solid sushi at 3AM, rest assured they will be available for you. Definitely go with the nigiri sets. Personally I love the tuna one around 5000 yen and share it with a friend.

It doesn't get more authentic than this when it comes to sushi. Everything was prepared fresh by chefs who clearly have years of experience. This was my first real sushi experience and it didn't disappoint (although some were better than others). The restaurant was crowded upon walking in, but the wait was short. We were seated at the counter by the friendly host where we were able to watch the sushi chefs prepare food. Started with the fatty tuna which was my favorite sushi of the night. Following that from a taste perspective, the eel (cooked) was very good. However, the sea urchin, caviar, and sardine weren't for me. None of the plates were bad, but you have to be ok with the texture. The pickled ginger definitely elevated some of the dishes. I'd recommend this to anyone that likes or would like to try sushi.

Sushi is all they do... In the heart of Tsukiji Outer Market is Sushi Zanmai and even just at the crack pass 8:30 it was filled to capacity and there was already a few names on the waitlist, small and very cramped though a good size establishment it was full and understandably everyone was thoroughly enjoying their fresh dish of sushi. The vibe was very energetic and insane so to get anyone's attention you must flag them down "suimasen!" and is not considered rude as is a way to ask or request. We ended up taking some things out it where we ate at another location and opted out on a dine in experience as we preferred using that time to thoroughly explore Tsukiji Outer Market and a few streets outside as well that had a few other eateries as well. どうもありがとうございます！

Came here close to midnight looking for a place that was still open. Reminded meme of of a late night Waffle House but the sushi was on point! Got the freshest highest grade day fish you can get. Chú turo, uni, scallop etc. Don't sleep on the hot dishes either! Superb! When looking for this place just look for the statue of the life size man out front in the market street!

We were hungry and we were able to get seated rather quickly. Good service and delicious sushi and sashimi, love our lunch here.

This was a recommendation by a friend. Sushizanmai Honten to me is a very traditional sushi restaurant. Not being able to speak any Japanese, we had to rely on pictures to order, The chefs are diligently working behind the counter and won't acknowledge you, so you have to get their attention. They are very helpful to trying to communicate by even getting the iPad to translate. I'm an extreme sushi eater and I like weird stuff, but based on the photos on the menu, there wasn't too much of that stuff. This visit was still a nice experience for our first sushi in Japan.

Easy to order with their iPad menu in various languages. Love the large selection of fresh variety of fish. Go for the premium tuna set and clam miso soup. Good service and you can be seated at the bar or table but it's popular so can have a wait.

This place was unbelievable. We had to wait outside in a line for about an hour to get in. Once inside, it was worth it. Their specialty is tuna, so make sure you order plenty of that. Everything was fresh and the fish melts in your mouth. Can't recommend enough.

Food: the BEST SUSHI ever!!! especially the OTORO (Fatty Tuna) just melts in your mouth!!! Service: great, timely service and this location is open 24hrs, but does get very busy Design: a small 3 story restaurant right in the middle of the wet market area Overall: if you want GREAT SUSHI, then this is a must stop; even though the Tsukiji Market moved to Toyosu, this place still has the best & reasonably priced sushi in Tokyo

It's hard to go wrong with Sushi Zanmai. While it may not be the best quality of sushi you can get, but with everything is being reasonably priced, it's a bargain for a delicious meal. I guess expectation was slightly higher given this was the main store - definitely met the mark. Ordering is not an issue if you don't speak Japanese as it's done through a iPad /w an English menu. It's best to come early if you don't want to wait.

Oh yea, if you like sushi then this is a place you want to try. It's a short cab ride or a 30 minute walk from Tokyo Station. We were able to get a seat at the bar without waiting and started with draft beer. The people there had enough English so I didn't have to abuse them with my not so good Japanese, though I got enough laughs trying. I can't explain in words how good the fish was. Foodgasim. In the back are large tanks full of live fish but idk if that was for my plates or something else. What I can say is that I'm coming back. Often.

We came here twice during our Tokyo visit. Both times we sat at the bar but at opposite ends. The sushi and sashimi was very fresh but the prices were not cheap but reasonable especially when compared to North American prices.

Sashimi is fresh and good taste! Service good environment good, excellent 24 hours opening

Best sushi I've had. Quite the line when we went. Lots of tourists. The experience is worth the wait!

Sushizanmai is a famous reasonably priced sushi chain with multiple locations, even within the Tsukiji area. There was a bit of a line outside at this original location, but we were ordering take-out, so we were able to go inside to order. They told us it would take about 20 min, so we walked over to Tsukiji Honganji (temple) to walk around while we waited. We ordered the Maguro Zanmai and 5 rolls, which was more than enough food for 2 adults and a child (totaling 5,130 yen)--with one roll left over. The Maguro Zanmai (3,348 yen) is one of their more expensive sets, but it is a great option if you want to try different tuna. I absolutely love fatty tuna and how they just melt in your mouth. The set includes: 2 Grand Fatty Tuna, 2 Fatty Tuna, 2 Seared Tuna, 2 Tuna, 2 Negitoro (Tuna & Scallions) and 1/2 Tuna Toll (3 pieces). The additional rolls we ordered are: - 2 Anago & Cucumber (378 yen each) - Negitoro: Tuna & Scallions (486 yen) - 2 Natto (270 yen each) Each roll comes with 6 pieces, so they are quite reasonable and you can mix and match as you wish. This place is a great option if you're on a budget and want quality sushi.

When you visit Tsukiji in Tokyo, can't miss this place. Great quality & price!!! If you want to eat seasonal fish, don't miss the daily special.

This was my first sushi experience in Japan. My friend brought me here for breakfast since I had limited time in Japan and requested sushi. We ate here at around 8 am and the place was already full, but we got seated right away. The service was fast and efficient. We both ordered the same sushi set and it was really good and fresh. It comes with miso soup and green tea. You can also add more fish Ala carte if you wanted to. The staff seemed to take care of you too. You can watch the sushi chefs make sushi while you're eating. Over all I great experience.

Conveyor belt sushi is always a good time! Despite the hustle and bustle of Tsukiji Fish Market, the boyfriend and I wanted to have sushi in an actual sit-down restaurant instead of gorging on all of the delicious seafood and meat skewers at the booths outside. Since Sushizanmai is located in a super busy location, you can imagine that there is going to be a wait as well. Since the conveyor belt is on a loop, there is very limited seating. I'd estimate maybe 20 or so people max. With that being said, I don't think it would be best for large parties to come here since you can expect to wait a very long time for a spot. The quality of the fish was as expected and we had a good experience. Despite us not speaking any Japanese, we had no issue in getting our payments settled and had an enjoyable experience. One thing to note is that if you are meeting up with a friend at the fish market, there are two sushizanmai locations so just make sure you go to the right one! (10/100--2021)

Food was delicious! We ordered a variety of different sushi, and every one of them was delicious (especially the fatty tuna!). Orders were made through our iPad. There was a server who came around to help us when we got lost in the Kanji. The place was quite busy! We waited about an hour, but we expected as much for such a popular place. About half the wait was outside in the alley (slightly shaded) and the rest was inside near the stairwell. Well worth it!

Not a huge variety but the quality is decent, and great for the price! Wide variety of drinks (beer, sake, and whiskey). It's good for a quick lunch

Sushizanmai is a chain in Japan so it's not exactly a must-stop place in Tsukiji fish market since there are dozens of locations all over. However, for the price, the quality of the sushi is pretty damn good. This place always has a long line, but I was lucky to come early enough that I only had to wait about 5 minutes before snagging a spot at the bar. I ordered a sashimi bowl and my boyfriend got one of the tuna sets. The fish was fresh and the hospitality was great. We also ordered 2 pieces of uni and it was pretty good, but I've had better elsewhere.

American sushi is completely ruined for me now because I've had Japanese sushi. This place has good quality sushi at ridiculously low prices. It's also conveniently located near the Tsukiji fish market (which has top tier sushi but at a higher price point and very long lines). The lunch deals are a steal! Service is great as well.

While I am not someone who seeks out sushi, the people that I frequently find myself in the company of are, so I end up eating quite a bit of it. Despite arriving with a large group, this place was able to seat and serve us efficiently, which can be a challenge at non-conveyor-belt-style sushi restaurants. I was impressed by that, at least. Note that we did have a reservation, but the place was not as crowded as I read it might be. We sat in the below-ground level -- probably because we were a big group and the implication was that we'd be there for a while ... and be noisy. The service was very good. We ordered a variety of things (of course the maguro (tuna) that they're famous for... and the uni -- the edible part of the sea urchin -- which is, apparently a delicacy. (I think I can leave that one off my next order, but it was interesting to try once.) The tiny shrimp that we used as an appetizer were cooked well: crispy and just the right size for picking up with chopsticks while we had a beer. We mostly had sashimi, with a few wrapped items (like the uni and green sand -- more on that later). The fish was simply plated and tasted fresh. We ordered some different "fattiness" levels of our tuna and it was fun to try the different types of the same fish. Each person received his own plate with each of 4 types (red, medium fatty, fatty, and broiled fatty), which made it convenient that we didn't have to pass plates around the large table. In addition to the uni, we also had something sandy and green that translated loosely as "crab paste" that we ultimately determined was the liver (tomalley), I believe. Another delicacy and something to try once, but I think there is a reason I don't normally eat it on its own... to be fair, it wasn't really "sandy"... it just looked that way. Miso-marinated black cod is one of my favorite preparation and we ordered a bit of that to try. Sure, it is a cooked dish at a sushi place, but it is still amazing when done right. The way they prepared it here resulted in a buttery fish with some caramelization and a light miso flavor. It was very nice, but not the star of the show. Several people in our group like eel, so we each had some "top quality sea eel" as well. It is not really my favorite, and I was pretty full by the time that one rotated in, but it was likewise simply plated. The sake we had was very nice. I don't know much about sake, but it was a bit sweet but on the drier side, which paired well with the fatty tuna -- and helped clear things out after the uni and "crab paste". :| There are many Sushizanmai locations besides this one and some may be significantly closer to where you are staying, so check Yelp first. This one was slightly better than another member of the chain in Roppongi, but I don't know that it was worth the extra travel time since my coworkers were staying there and it was a 10 minute walk from their hotel to the other one vs. a cab ride.

Definitely not the best or cheapest sushi I had while in Tokyo, but mad props for being open 24 hours. So good I went twice in 24 hours, late night and for breakfast when my friends arrived. Quite a few locations within a couple blocks so if there is a line at one, you might try the others. At least from the window displays, the menus were the same. For those of us from US, the bluefin tuna sets are the biggest bargain...

I'm catering this review for any vegans/vegetarians who are seeking sushi options around the fish market! In the middle of Tsukiji Fish Market is a vibrant sushi spot with about 56 total items on the menu. We walked up to the restaurant and there were about two dozen or so people in line. Not to worry, the line moves quickly and the restaurants here rely on efficiency. Probably about 15 minutes later from the back of the line, we were seated in the inside waiting area to wait for our table. Within minutes, we were called upstairs to our table and were greeted with a warm towel and hot tea. Ordering from the machine it easy, as it translates to English as well, and has pictures! I recommend ordering the kanpyo maki, but of course kappa maki and oshinko maki if you want taste variations. Exciting opportunity for those who want the sushi experience in the middle of a buzzy fish market!

We were looking for a sushi restaurant on a Sunday night around 9pm and decided to check out Sushi Zanmai in Tsukiji, the flagship restaurant. There was a lineup and we waited about 45 minutes, but it was worth the wait! Everything was delicious and a bargain compared to US prices. Totally recommend!

Tuna here was some of the best melt in your mouth. 5 stars Uni didn't come from a mollusk so freshness isn't the best -1 Star. Yes you can find this direct from the tank fresh. Everything else is above average. 24 hour joint with long lines for foreigners and locals.

The eel was good, but the chirashi bowl was so underwhelming! The fish was tough and chewy / gristly almost? The salmon and tuna were particularly stringy, and the shrimp / octopus were really underwhelming and bland / tough too. I was really sad that this was my fish market meal. I've had better sushi in the states, and luckily later in the trip I found better sushi but I would stay away from this place and go to some of the smaller stands around. I feel like this place was a tourist trap.

This is a tough review because our first dinner here was 5 star quality sushi and fresh sashimi. The chirashi was filled with an assortment of ocean goodies. The sashimi salad was fresh with a tasty dressing, and the sushi was great at reasonable prices. On our breakfast visit a few days later, however, the cuts of fish on our nigiri sushi were less spectacular and falling apart, and the saba was hard and gristly. The assorted tempura and miso cod were delicious. We're not sure if the dinner service upstairs was just superior to the disappointing breakfast we had on the ground floor, but we're undecided whether we would eat here again since there are so many other places to choose from in the area.

I didn't try too many sushi places before I came here so I cannot compare this place with other places in Tokyo but the sushi here was amazing compared to sushi in the states! We got one of their set sushi menus and sat at the bar. Everything on the plate was good. Favorite was their uni, tuna & this sushi with chives like appearance. It was surprisingly very good! Every piece was delicious! Price not bad at all. Service great. Plenty of space with bathrooms!

Definitely a great place for sushi. Pleasant service. The restaurant is clean. Definitely worth the wait. The line moves quickly so don't worry.

This is a conveyor belt sushi bar located in Tokyo's Tsukiji Market area. There are a lot of sushi and sashimi restaurants in the vicinity of Tsukiji. This is another one. What this one has going for it is that it has the fun conveyor belt sushi design. For those of you who may not know, here you will find sushi revolving around the center area where a sushi chef is preparing the various dishes. What you do is simply grab the dish that you want and eat away. You know, I have eaten a lot of sushi and sashimi in Tokyo and Japan in general. So, I believe I have a pretty good understanding of what is really good and what is not. Is this the greatest conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Tokyo? No, I don't believe it is. Is it OK? Yes. It is OK. Not great but not bad. One of the fun things they have going on at this restaurant is that in most conveyor belt sushi restaurants around Tokyo how they add up your bill at the end of your eating is by the color of the plates. Here, however, they have it all automated and they run a wand over the plate to determine the price of each dish. I guess this is just a fun example of technology moving forward. Overall, not a bad place to eat.

Love this chain or brand. The most affordable sushi and great quality. I tried different varieties every time I go there. The manager at Tsukiji location named Yoshi is really friendly. Definitely worth your money. This place buys the most Tuna in Japan. I know usually chain stores are not good but the quality of service and food is amazing. I went here 5 times and each tome tried to order different cuts/types of fish. The quality is amazing. I tried their marinated tuna, kohada, aji, salmon, otoro, uni, mirugai, hotate, anago and boy I was satisfied to the very last bite. The chefs are highly skilled. The rice temperature is just right. When you put the nigiri sushi in your mouth, the rice crumbles and you start to taste the umami flavors of the fish and wasabi. And yes no powder wasabi here. It's grated from the root. I can't wait to go back.

Sushizanmai is a big sushi chain in Japan, and it was one of the many restaurants inside Tsukiji. We chose it for lunch since it seemed to have larger seating area plus all the stickers for Yelp and Tripadvisor. There is a small line and its a bit like musical chairs as you progress from standing to moving down the chairs. Once we got seated near the counter, with a conveyor-belt (kaiten-style sushi) circulating all sorts of sushi, we were ready to chow down. Basically, you grab whatever looks good from the belt and in the end, they will charge you by the number and color (each representing a price level) of empty plates. Since there were three sushi chefs working the entire counter, you can also request custom orders and get it freshly made. Overall, the quality-to-price ratio of the sushi here is among the best we've had, so 5 stars. Conveyor-belt sushi is not to be underestimated, especially when it has high-quality ingredients. Being inside Tsukiji, it's definitely not an issue! Favorite items: * Tuna Trio (called King's sampler or the like): They charged under $7 US for this, and quality was on par with our previous favorite at Takatoyo Maru 38. I think we ordered two of these. * Ikura: This salmon roe nigiri is one of my wife's favorite, and they make it good here. Salty boba that bursts with umami on top of loosely-packed rice. They make it good here. * Anago: I'm gradually become a fan of saltwater eel, with a softer, more delicate taste compared to unagi. * Saba with leeks: I grabbed this one off the belt. It looked and tasted like mackerel but had this nice topping of onions and leeks which added more flavor.

There is something interesting I've noticed about Japan and it's that Japanese people love restaurant chains. In America, I feel as if we generally associate restaurant chains as something that negatively affects food quality but here, the opposite happens. It seems that if a restaurant has multiple locations, then that brand has enjoyed success at all their locations in Japan. (And somehow the quality stays consistent) Sushizanmai has numerous locations in Tsukiji so I was wondering if I should have walked in to a smaller sushi bar. However, the interior of Sushizanmai is pretty huge (multiple floors). And I figured that if a giant restaurant can still have a waiting line out front, it must mean that the sushi here is great. This theory turned out to be correct because I had some great sushi here - at a really nice lunch price! We were seated upstairs at a table so we did not have the option of doing conveyer belt sushi like I think some other Yelpers have done. Upstairs, you can either order sushi individually or order from a menu that has plates of sushi samples. For lunch the plates of sushi (about 12 pieces) were around 2000¥. I opted for their summer specials and got a plate of three types of tuna and a plate of five unique pieces (included eel, whale, uni, and pufferfish)- my meal ended up being around 1900¥ which is amazingly cheap even for Tsukiji. While I think that Sushizanmai has great values for sushi, I don't think the quality can compare to the really nice sushi bars where the pricier sashimi are. The sushi here were definitely good but if you have money to spend, there are more hidden gems in Tsukiji. I recommend coming to this store if you want to sample a lot of fish at a very friendly price but don't make this your only stop for sushi in Tokyo!

Came here to check off my sushi experience at the Tsukiji fish market and this place more then satisfied my fish craving. I opted for the sampler that provided 3 levels of tuna with various fatty levels. The more fat marveling the higher the price. This is crazy but I honestly prefer the leaner variety. I guess it has more to do with the texture for my western palet. This place is really special but wont break your budget. We ordered a ton off stuff and it didnt go over 6k yen.. Back home for two folks I usually spend almost double that on good Nigiri! Come check this joint out. Also you do need to ask for wasabi. It doesnt come standard here

Getting to Tsukiji market late, around 1pm on a Monday, we quickly were ready to get something to eat. While this place had a line it wasn't very long and probably took about 15min for us to finally get a table. First thoughts... this place is loud! But that's part of the atmosphere. I was watching them continuously bring in fresh seafood and even occasionally pull something out of the fish tank. My husband and I both focused on the tuna. He's not a sushi lover but said the tuna was just melting in his mouth. Ive had American sushi so I was excited to try tuna cuts I've never tried before. My favorite were the fatty tuna (incredible taste, so worth the money), munched fatty tuna (again delicious with the addition of green onions) and the lean tuna (my normal goto). I'd skip the medium fatty tuna and just get more of the fatty tuna. Great, fresh tuna that was well worth the wait.

Quality: 3/5 Price: 2/5 I agree with Ang L. The nigiris were just OK. For some of them, I can taste the grain. Sadly, when we were there, they didn't have any uni. A bit on the pricey side b/c we were smack in the middle of Tsukiji market. It was nice to walk around and see what the vendors were selling after our meal. This restaurant opened 24/7, so we came here for breakfast!

THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING. I stopped by on my last night in Tokyo, determined for an unforgettable last meal. The prices are extremely fair and the fish is really fresh. As a tourist, I highly recommend this place for some melt-in-your-mouth sushi. The fatty tuna was unreal, and epitomizes the fact that no other country will ever have sushi like Japan. As a salmon lover, I was a little disappointed that this place did not have fatty salmon on the menu- but fear not: the regular salmon is thick cut and has the same delicious consistency of fatty salmon for a quarter of the price. A tip: show up a little before the dinner rush (4PM?)- there was no wait. When we had left the restaurant, it was around 5:30 and the line was wrapping around the door!

This is a pretty big sushi chain restaurant throughout Tokyo so they're relatively easy to find. I heard a lot of good things about their fatty tuna and definitely had to make a stop for a tuna-only meal. Upon arriving I was a party of one so I only had to wait 5 minutes for another solo person in front of me to get their seat. Once seated you'll be passed the menu and once you're ready to order make sure you call their attention otherwise they'll let you be. I ordered their Magurozanmai Special (¥3000) with a huge bowl of miso soup and 2pcs otoro (extra fatty) nigiri (¥398/ea). The special included 2pcs otoro, chutoro, regular and broiled nigiri, negitoro and 3pcs tuna roll. Boy was that a feast for the eyes. I was able to taste a large range of tuna and discovered that my favorite was actually the chutoro (medium fatty) because after eating a couple otoro, it was starting to feel a little heavy because there was just so much fat. I welcome fatty tuna at any time but just be aware that it can take a toll on you, haha!

The sushi was fresh and delicious. The chefs were very nice and talkative. The experience was pretty good.

Came to Tsukiji market to try sushi experience and were not disappointed. The sushi are top notch, and the chefs are very friendly. If you don't know what to get and its your first time there, I recommend getting a set. When we came the second time, we ordered a bunch of tuna and salmon (fatty tuna is especially great). I would also recommend clam and fish miso soup! Line can be a bit long if you come during hot hours, but the food is definitely worth the wait.

Freaking breakfast sushi. There is a Buddhist temple nearby and of course the old fish market.

It's really crowded even if you go there super early in the morning. But this original sushi restaurant is the best compared with their branches.

I dream of this sushi. I am from California and they have good sushi in California. I've been eating sushi all my life and I didn't know it could get better. Seriously, hands down, this is the BEST sushi I have ever had. I still dream of this place. It is located at the fish market so the fish is so fresh and soft. You will not regret it. This place is a must!
