Restaurant Minato Sushi — Restaurant in Helsinki sub-region

Update: after trying a few other sushi establishments during my past few business trips, upping one star for quality. Minato really stands out quality-wise. Looking forward to my next Minato experience to potentially give it 5 :)

Old: I found Minato Sushi OK! Fish seemed fresh, but scallops were freezing cold. Variety was limited unfortunately, and prices were high for Nigiri à la carte for what it was and the underlying produce market price. Proportion of fish/rice was good. All in all OK but I think my expectations were a bit high. This is a medium end establishment that you're supposed to eat maki at and not expect extraordinary nigiri as in a truly Japanese run...

They have a high quality fish and sushi that is apparently open on Sunday. My bf and I have a great time here. The service is amazing, also the sushi. We recommend their white fish and salmon grilled. I personally prefer without sprinkle salt but apparently it is their signature. But you can always asked not to put salt on the grilled sushi. But I love their dry lemon skin sprinkled on top of the sushi. I also recommend their mushroom sushi, they are very tasty, I enjoy the texture of it. We def will come...

Minato Sushi is definitely worth the 5 stars it consistently gets in ratings. It served us the best sushi I've tasted in Finland. The service was very friendly, and their recommendations (the grilled whitefish & lime salt nigiri and the teriyaki whitefish nigiri) were outstanding. The restaurant was surprisingly not crowded for a Saturday evening (however, the table spacing is good, and safety measures are well followed). I look forward to visiting again...
