Sushi Bar Pros

I'm always too nervous to order my sushi from the bar.  I don't know what to say, how to order, etc.

My sis thinks I should try it.  Especially since I've dabbled around in cooking Japanese food, and know more than the average American.

Any pros with advice?

Re: Sushi Bar Pros

  • Are you looking to try the sashimi (raw fish) or sushi rolls?

    I love sashimi, almost all types except for eel, squid, mackerel, tuna belly. I like rolls but I'm picky since I'm not a fan or roe or avocado and don't really care for the tempura battered kind.

  • Yum! I love sashimi and sushi! Do you like spicy stuff? What about roe? Do you want "beginner" sushi (california rolls, tamago, tempuras etc) or more adventurous stuff?

  • Are you asking about ordering straight from the chefs at the bar rather than from the waitress at your table?  Or just about ordering sushi in general?
  • Ok, I'm realizing I wasn't clear.

    Ordering from the chef vs. ordering off menu is what I was talking about.

    I like all forms of sushi, sashimi, maki, etc.  I will eat almost anything.

    DO IT. the chefs at the bar like making food for people who will appreciate it. Just strike up a conversation and say "i'll start with salmon sashimi" or whatever and then say "and I'm in the mood for something spicy/light/sweet/etc...what do you recommend?"

    you will not be sorry.

  • Alright. That settles it. Sitting at the bar next time and ordering from the chef.  Just don't want to seem like I don't know what I'm doing.  Any ettiquete notes?  Tip the chef?  Order drinks, etc., from the server, right?
