We all love sushi (NO I AM NOT TALKING TO THE SUSHI HATERS HERE, IF YOU ARE, PLEASE LEAVE)! Sushi is why I get out of bed in the morning sometimes. Why, you say? Because I know I live in a world with sushi. There’s one small problem though. SUSHI IS CRAZY EXPENSIVE, OKAY??? So y’all better be damn sure that raw fish you’re eating is worth every bareeza you’re paying.

(sushibay)
Location: Heliopolis, El Thawrra Street, Inside Cafe Supreme.
Why it’s worth your money: Their 24-piece combination dish costs EGP 185, which is more than enough for two sushi gluttons. Sushi Bay has a good balance of flavors, with hints of sesame in the right place and complementing sauces that set off the meal.
5) Gaya Sushi

7) Arigato
Location: 6th of October City, Legenda Mall.

Why it’s worth your money: Why go to Japan when you can just go to Jo?
9) Izumi

11) Torii

13) Mokai
Location: New Cairo, 5th Settlement.
Why it’s worth your money: Aside from their sushi platters, they are famous for their Teppanyaki show in which the Chef cooks right in front of you. The show involves lots of knives and fire, very exciting!
