It seems like a new sushi spot opens up almost weekly, yet not many stay open over the years. This is because, more so than many other cuisine styles, creating tasty sushi is a delicate art that requires experience, unique knowledge, and creativity. Especially in landlocked Idaho, finding your new favorite sushi restaurant can feel like a struggle. If you’ve been craving a new place to eat sushi but don’t want to blindly try each and every place in town, here are a few things to pay attention to during your search. If the restaurant has a few or all of these qualities, it’s probably a winner.

Look for Quality

The best sushi in Meridian Idaho will feature high-quality fish sourced responsibly from reputable suppliers. Even though Idaho is landlocked, meaning getting fresh fish caught from the sea is rare, advancements in flash-freezing techniques maintain the quality of the fish even when prepared a few days after.

As the old eatery saying goes, “you eat with your eyes first.” The same applies to sushi, as quality sushi rolls should look like works of art rather than be slapped together. Order one roll to start, and if it checks out, then you can confidently move on and order other sushi rolls on the menu.

Look for an Inviting Atmosphere

Eating sushi is an experience for many people, and a big part of having an enjoyable experience eating sushi in Eagle Idaho area is the atmosphere of the restaurant. You should feel like you could spend an entire evening in the establishment without feeling too cramped or bothered by excessive bright lights or overly loud music. You’ll find that the best sushi restaurants will have a somewhat intimate setting with sophisticated design elements that enhance the dining experience. It shouldn’t feel like you’re eating in a fast-food restaurant even if the food comes out fast, and you should feel comfortable enough to sit and enjoy for an hour or two.

Seek Out Expertise

Sushi is a delicate art, and it takes practice and experience to create the perfect roll. Not every short order cook can step up to the sushi bar and start rolling out expertly crafted Double Dragon Rolls. You'll find that many restaurants will list who their sushi chef is if they are proud of the quality of their rolls. If your chosen restaurant doesn’t list this person on their website, you shouldn’t look elsewhere; read online reviews and learn more about the restaurant’s track record for producing high-quality sushi. And, if you find yourself sitting at the sushi bar, don’t be shy—engage with the sushi chefs. Ask anything that you'd like to know about the fish or the rolls, and they should be able to provide recommendations based on your preferences.

Look for Creativity

Every sushi restaurant will likely have a selection of tried-and-true sushi rolls. These often include classic options such as the Boston Roll, California Roll, Philadelphia Roll, and more. You should also browse the menu to see if they offer unique rolls based on in-house recipes. While some options might seem a bit gimmicky (unless a cheeseburger roll sounds great to you), you'll find that an experienced sushi chef will craft signature recipes that balance the ingredients for a unique tasting experience. Look at the restaurant’s menu online before you stop in to see what they have to offer.
