Hello everybody,

Can you guys tell me what's the best sushi / Japanese restaurant in Basel?

tks,

I personally like Negishi (near Barfuesserplatz) best (http://www.negishi.ch/). It's a very small restaurant, though. The Sushi is excellent there.

Yoko at the Heuwaage is very good, too - but the bar is somewhat impersonal. However, they have the best prices.

My least favorite is Comino - very expensive and not as good as the others, IMHO.

I used to go to Yoko when I lived near Basel. It's pretty good. It' won't be cheap/good sushi like Sushiland in Japan/Seattle. It's better though, and prices are about what you would pay for a nice plate of sushi at one of the fancier places in Seattle. I'd usually spend between 30-45 chf including a beer or tea.

I once went to Yoko, but Ono, not again.

Cheers,
Nick

Well, it's not quite as strong as mackerel, but apparently the Hawaiians consider Ono quite the tasty fish.

Great - another sushi place to try out. Never been to Yoko!

I've been several times to Negishi though - good sushi as previous posters said, and I also avoid Camino...very disappointing....

Hi

I could recommend Yoko. The Bar loooks a little bit booring, but the personal is very nice and the running sushi is funny.

They also have a delivery service and a nice website with webshop.

The Japanese ppl here in our institute all say that Negishi is ok (which translates as "its eatable but not as good as home"). About Yoko one guy said "It's bad!" and considering that he is Japanese this is quite a strong statement, so I'd take it seriously

That's not a very qualified statement, so I can't let this stand here.

It's bad because of...?

Might be no japanese is rolling the sushi. Who cares?

Don't take this serious. Try both and take your own decision.

From my own experience there's nothing to say against yoko's sushi and by the way they have been tested by the consumer organization "Kassensturz" as cleanest sushi bar of switzerland. So I don't fear there to eat raw fish. This is something to take serious.

Well, I'm Swiss and I'm no Fondue expert.
