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.

Peter | | | | | 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.

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. http://www.sushikurier.ch

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 |

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.

For those of you who get a craving for sushi and want to indulge without breaking your wallet, I offer you a short review of Fuji Sushi, in St. Louis: Fuji Sushi
47 Rue de Huningue
68300 Saint-Louis, France
Tel +33 3 89 69 33 32
Let's start with the ground rules, for those who haven't eaten sushi in France before. Japanese restaurants in France are better termed 'Japanese-inspired'. They're invariably run by Chinese, the fish tends to be fresh but very limited in variety (heavy on tuna/salmon), and I think every place buys their menu from the same supplier. ( here's an example)
There are the ubiquitous gyoza, meat/seafood skewers ( brochettes, a French creation that is very distantly related to yakatori), sweet cabbage salad and sweetened soy sauce (regular is also available). Most items are available as 'menus' with soup, salad, and various combinations of sushi/sashimi/brochettes.
So, having done the level-setting and warned you that this isn't Tokyo, on to the review.
A menu with soup, salad, and a plate of 10 Nigiri (3x salmon, 2x tuna, 1x mackeral, 1x sea bass, 1x egg (tamago), 1x fish roe, 1x shrimp) cost a very reasonable EUR16. The fish was fresh, but not terribly well-prepared. The nigiri pieces were too large, in particular the pieces of fish.
Still, I went in with limited expectations and came out pretty happy. It wasn't terrible, it satisfied my sushi craving, and I left with a full belly and a full wallet -- pretty much the opposite of my sushi experiences on the Swiss side of the border.

My personal judgement for sushi only:
Best in town: Wasabi in Güterstrasse
Very good: Comino
All right: Negishi
not good enough for me: Yoko
The only good japanese restaurant in town was in the railway station, it closed. No japanese cuisine in Basel anymore.

Minamoto is quite good, but not ideal for sushi. Negishi is all right, probably the best ratio of price to taste in Basel.
