Sushi has become hugely popular across the country leading to an influx of restaurants and bars delivering authentic Japanese dining. Bristol is no exception and the city is home to numerous independent sushi joints from the cheap and cheerful lunchtime hotspots to inviting locations for dinner and drinks. 

Bento Boss
Clifton Down Station, Whiteladies Road, Bristol, BS8 2PH
 
A popular spot for Bristol sushi, Bento Boss offers tasty and exciting sushi and pan Asian cuisine.  The vast menu is filled with fishy delights and their veggie alternatives, including classic nigiri and sashimi made with a wide range of fish and veg. You can also try exotic titbits like grilled eel nigiri. Those wanting a bit of variety can grab a sushi or vegetarian sushi bento box, and they offer plenty of Japanese main meals for your guests who aren’t too keen on the whole raw fish thing! Be sure to wash it all down with a classic sake for the full experience.

This Japanese kitchen and cocktail bar is loved for its cosy and intimate atmosphere, making it ideal for date night.  Sushi and cocktails are given equal amounts of love here at Nomu, and you can order any cocktail and plate of sushi for £9.70. Lychee Martini’s all round? If you’re not drinking you can still enjoy a great offer – all sushi, small dishes and sides are 3 for £14 all day, every day.

Fujiyama

The authentic and fresh sushi at Fujiyama is enough to bring regular crowds along for some tasty seafood, but the real unique pull is the downstairs karaoke room!
