Alabama: Bamboo on 2nd
Birmingham This hugely popular sushi destination in the middle of downtown Birmingham is helmed by celebrated local chef Abhi Sainju who developed a loyal following with his pop-up Everest Sushi. Known for his elaborate sushi rolls at Bamboo on 2nd like the Fire Roll with spicy tuna, red snapper, avocado, and sriracha, you also don’t want to miss Sainju’s native Nepalese dishes like momos, steamed dumplings with ground turkey.

Alaska: Sushi & Sushi
Anchorage So good they named it twice, this upscale Anchorage destination is beloved by Alaskans and visitors alike. Sushi & Sushi‘s proximity to some of the best seafood in the country offers a tremendous boost, particularly when it comes to salmon and fresh crab. The nigiri and sashimi are a great way to go, but the rolls are also fun like the popular Chong and Serious Jamie rolls. On cold days, warm up with a bowl of the spicy miso seafood soup.

Arizona: Harumi Sushi
Phoenix This bustling, casual sushi spot in downtown Phoenix is probably best known for its purple-hued black rice, which adds a healthy and photogenic twist to their sushi. Harumi Sushi showcases high-quality seafood for their sashimi, nigiri and colorful rolls, including the Oh My God roll that’s torched with flames at your table. They also use fresh wasabi – unlike the fake green paste used in most places – and you’ll start your meal with complimentary seared tuna nigiri.

Arkansas: Kiyens
Little Rock Hidden inside of a strip mall, Kiyen‘s has earned the reputation as the best sushi in Arkansas thanks to chef (and former biological oceanographer) Kiyen Kim’s dedication to using exceptionally fresh seafood delivered daily. For a treat, make a reservation for the multi-course omakase experience at the sushi bar. Or opt to order a la carte and choose from choice cuts of sashimi and nigiri, and generous and playful rolls like the unorthodox Western Texas with spicy crab and filet mignon.

California: Q
Los Angeles While L.A.’s Ursawa is regarded as having the best sushi outside of Japan, the long waitlist for a reservation (fans say it can be two or more months) leads us to another candidate. The simply named Q is an extraordinary, temple-like destination for traditional Edomae-style sushi. Chef Hiroyuki Naruke meticulously uses centuries-old techniques — including rice made with red vinegar and no sugar — and only the best ingredients (think beautiful pieces of toro and uni) for his 20-plus course omakase. Dinner is $200 per person, so it’s a splurge, but you can save a bit by going at lunch ($75 – $125).

Colorado: Sushi Den
Denver The award-winning flagship restaurant from brothers Toshi and Yasu Kizaki, Sushi Den is an essential visit for sushi enthusiasts. Known for its incredibly fresh seafood — much of it flown in daily from the brothers’ home prefecture, Kyushu Island in Japan — the restaurant regularly has lines around the block for perfectly-prepared nigiri and signature rolls. Be sure to grab a seat at the sushi bar for a phenomenal omakase experience. And if you happen to be in Boulder, visit Sushi Zanmai.

Connecticut: Miya’s
New Haven Open since 1982, Miya’s is not only known for deliciously creative sushi and excellent service, but also claims the title of the first sustainable sushi restaurant in the world. While most sushi restaurants often use endangered or problematic species like bluefin tuna and farmed salmon, the menu here showcases “future sushi” — sustainably caught seafood, invasive species like carp and catfish, and plant-based alternatives. Consider taking the “Future Sushi Omakase” — an omakase menu ($98 per person) that covers the highlights. Too steep? “Momma’s Cookin'” is a selection of traditional and creative sushi for $38 per person.

Florida: NAOE
Miami While the Magic City is full of incredible sushi destinations, NAOE stands out as a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Award restaurant. One meal will set you back about $250, but reviewers say it’s on par with the best sushi in Tokyo. Chef Kevin Cory, who makes every dish himself, began his culinary training at age 19, and his family has been brewing their own soy sauce since 1825. As the restaurant space is small, reservations are required and should be made well in advance.

Be sure to try the Lobster Box Sushi.

Louisiana: Asuka Sushi & Hibachi

Nevada: Kabuto
Las Vegas For a city in the middle of the desert, Vegas has a ridiculous number of excellent sushi options.

For a less expensive, yet still delicious option, try Soho Japanese Restaurant.

New York: Masa
New York In a city full of world-class sushi, choosing the best can be tricky.

Sushi master Masayoshi Takayama and his devoted team serve impeccable bites like toro with caviar and uni with white truffle on a sushi bar made of a single piece of Hinoki wood. For a less expensive yet excellent alternative from two Masa protégées, try Shuko.
