Sushi Dai

Went there after 6am and there was already a large crowd outside. I waited for at least 30mins but it was worthwhile. The chef makes each sushi one by one and the seafood used is so fresh, like it's still moving fresh. Will definitely eat here again if i ever have a chance in the future.

This place is worth every penny! The quality of sushi served here is excellent. Everything tastes so delicious and fresh. The sushi chefs are so friendly and are always so attentive! I want to recommend this place to everyone! The line up is worth it ;).

We arrived on a Monday at 5:45AM and waited an hour and a half to be seated. The only way you're going to get fresher omakase is if you're on the boat. We ordered the scallop as our add-on and was pleasantly surprised to see it shucked right before us. Our chef was vibrant and personable. In fact, when he found out we were from Toronto, he proudly exclaimed "Raptors! Champions!"

good fish. nice cheif.

Worth the wait! Make sure you go early. It open's at 5.30 AM and the queue has already started before they have opened. Waited in the queue for around 2 hours, the restaurant is a small space which fits roughly around 20 people at a time. It has a set 'chef's recommendation' menu which is 4,500 yen per person. All the sushi is extremely fresh and the restaurant is nice and intimate. Would definitely recommend.

Really great sushi 🍣!I recommend getting the chefs choice or set, as they use the best selections for the day. This is in the new Toyosu Fish Market. The wait can be long but it is worth it. The fish was so good, this quality would be very highly rated outside of Japan. There were many people ordering the prawns and shellfish as well, and they seemed to be enjoying them a lot. The price was very good considering that I got the chefs choice and had like 4-5 courses for ¥38,000.Great experience, I would not wait in a ridiculous line if this is a less wait option.

The sushi is fresh and really amazing. But I don't think it's worth the 3+hours line up, and I came here at 5:30am. I was in Osaka a few days earlier and the sushi quality is equally as good, though not an omakase. My fav was the Cutlass fish, Hokkaido clam, and horse mackerel. Overall the chefs there makes you feel welcomed. Worth a try if you have the time.

Long waiting time~~ we took the first train in the morning from shinjuku but still need to wait around 3 hours during weekday. ProsThey serve the best yellow tails sushi i have ever taste. It is so good that i ordered another serving.ConsThe sushi chef who serves us could not make a firm enough sushi (the sushi rice fall apart when we try to eat it)Due to language barrier, the sushi chef is less likely to converse with foreign customer (compared to customer who well verse in japanese).Overall, the sushi they serve are very nice for the price and worth the wait.

Arrived at 0720 hours, waited for 1 hour to be seated. It was worth the wait. Really delicious and the sea urchin were absolutely amazing. Staff were friendly and they speak your language to introduce the sushi to you. Great experience.

Pretty tough to beat the quality of this meal for the price. The price was 4,800 yen per person plus we added a supplement scallop for 800 yen. Every bite was superb and the experience at the fish market makes the whole event extra memorable.

Worth the wait.Outstanding, tasty, fresh and delicate sushi.

Really good food. At the new fish market this is the only store with a queue and we waited 3 hours. Maybe our taste buds were a little off today because we just got off our flight but it didn’t taste as good or maybe because there was no “premium” option. Just the Y4500 option. Good service and enjoyable experience with the chefs. RECOMMEND bringing a fold out stool for yourself as they only provide a few so we waited the first two hours on our feet.

Yes there’s a long wait, get there decently early but the sushi is incredible. Definitely worth it.

Fantastic place with amazing sushi! You MUST try this sushi restaurant at 5 a.m. and try fresh sushi. The shop opens at 5:30 and both times I was too late to get in the shop with first batch of people! But it worth the wait absolutely! It's the first catch of the day and you will enjoy the fatty tuna , horse Mackerel, and Cutlass fish!

The atmosphere is magic. These guys seem very passionate about what they do, it was such a pleasure to be there! Not to mention the sushi, it was so so good!

The best sushi experience for the price! The line is true and can be long so they there early. For perspective by 5 there was already one full rotation filled meaning at least another hour wait as the first group finishes their set. The flavours, fish, and experience though are worth it. Each piece is fresh, flavorful, and well portioned. The Omakase also allows for one to pick one of their choice, and there are a host of amazing options to choose from.If you are coming for traditional sushi, you have to eat here!

It is good but not wow. If the queue is long it does not worth waiting for. The thing that it does not do well is the sushi is made in batch but not individually. It is not like you are served exactly 1 to 1 with the chef.

Great sushi but it's become a bit touristy. The chef picks the sushi/sashimi for you. It's different every time but they are great at accommodating to allergies.

There really is a 3 hour wait, but the unusually low price and super high quality makes it worth it. They seat max 18 people at a time with about a one hour service. The ¥4500 would easily be 9000 elsewhere.Only one issue with the entire experience which was something I didn't expect in Japan. While we were waiting to be seated in the next round, a group of three walked up and joined another party in line just in front of us. The staff member in charge of seating actually facilitated this line jumping. Because of this, I and the couple in front of me were pushed back into the next group - waiting another hour plus for our seating. The meal service and quality were world class excellent! I will do it again, worth the line wait and all.

Long queuing time but it was worthy!! Great Omakase (trust the chef menu) experience! All sushi were fresh and sweet in taste! Love especially the urchin 😍 so gooooood! The sushi masters speak all kind of language like Cantonese, English, Mandarine. So entertaining and friendly! Recommend for everyone (who can afford to wait for at least 2 hours)!

Great sushi. I don't regret waiting in line. It's indours, and they have around 20 chairs to sit on while waiting. I arrived at 5:40, with first metro, and waited until 8:40. With a book, a game, or something else to do it passed fast enough. And it being so early does not ruin the plans for the rest of the day. Sushi taste flavourful, rice is warm, and the slices of fish are big. The omakase set was filling enough. Service is very nice too.

Lined up for this place super early around 4am. It's a little tricky to find as it's on the 3rd floor of one of the buildings and the storefront isn't obvious. Lining up early to be the first set of customers was well worth it. This is omakase style sushi, so it is a set menu based on the chefs choice. The experiment and quality is unlike any other sushi in the world and well worth the price as it would easily be three times the price anywhere else outside of Japan. Definitely a must go.

First thing is first: be prepared to wait. I got there at 3am and was able to get in with the first 18 people at 5:30am. Be aggressive otherwise people who try to cut the line will get ahead of you. Each 18 person iteration takes approximately 90 minutes. The sushi was delicious and tasted fresh. Additionally, the chefs were extremely friendly and accommodated everyone accordingly. The omakase includes 9 pieces of sushi followed by an additional piece of your choice. Once the omakase portion is over, you are given an a la carte menu. I highly recommend this place and would gladly get up early and go again.

Must try once in a lifetime. Super friendly staff and fresh handmade sushi. Worth queueing outside for hours.

If you order alcoholic beverage, you get free Shima aji ponzu. Sometimes it's soy sauce reduced maguro.

Definitely a must try at the market, sushi was fresh and service was enjoyable. Though the chef's knew less English than I thought, it was fun trying to communicate with them. The wait at 7am was about 3 hrs since they slot people in every hour and the total was about 4500 yen a person for omakase set. I ordered abalone as the last piece and I wouldn't recommend since it was crunchy and not as flavorful as other choices, but a good experience nonetheless.Note that the Tsukiji location doesn't open till 11am so don't try to go find it there!

A warm welcome by the enthusiastic chefs of Sushi Dai never fails to make one look forward to the meal ahead. As always you will be treated to some of the best sushi Tokyo to offer! A must-try!
