Tsukiji market, building 6... Search for this sign and do whatever queue is needed. Once inside: ebi, hamachi and toro, toro, toro!

Everyone will tell you it's "the best sushi they've had in their entire life!" & they're right. Go earlier than you think you need to go. ASK SOMEONE to make sure you're standing in the right line.

If you come in a group, you can designate one person to stand in line. If you come solo, you might get lucky and skip the line if a single seat opens up.

The chef's special was absolutely delicious. Our chef was personable and entertaining. Each piece of sushi melted in our mouths, and left us craving for more. My favs were the uni and medium-fatt tuna

Very good sushi. Certainly the freshest I've ever eaten. Also a first eating sushi at 7am. Very long queue. I'd say the sushi next door with half the queue is as fresh. They have two set menus.

The line is long, so get here early (5-6am). Next door to the busier Sushi Dai, find Daiwa behind red curtains. Mind the line monitor, and order omakase. Worth the wait - the sushi is sublime.

Get the omakase. It's worth it. If you're coming from the outer market, go inside past the ice cream shop, around the corner to the right, and deep inside the inner market. In the middle of Bldg 6.

This really is the best sushi I've ever had by far. The fatty toro is incredible and the rice they make is perfect. We arrived at 6:30 am and there an hour wait. It was worth it. I wish I was back.
Janice ChowDecember 22, 2015
Came here at 6:45am on a Tuesday and waited for 15 mins only. Around 20 seats in the restaurant so come early! Def get the omakase - the sushi is really fresh!! 👌🏻😬

Best sushi I have had. Get the omakase and be prepared to have your mind blown. Long lines but move quick. You'll be done in 20 minutes so savor it.
Dan TorresMarch 6, 2017
Arrived around 5:30 and was seated by 6:15. Get the omakase but make sure to try the scallop, sea bream, and clam if you have space for more.

I don't even LOVE sushi but the freshness and texture of fish here cannot be denied. If hungry, go for omakase, but highlights are medium fatty tuna, Tamago (!), uni (non uni lover), horse mackerel
KendallJuly 17, 2016
We showed up at 6am, waited 45 mins and had the best sushi OF OUR LIVES! Make friends in line, enjoy the experience and go for seconds on the tuna. It's out of this world.

Go early ! The queue is very long but worth it. The sushi melts in your mouth and eating sushi outside of Japan will never be the same
George JosephJune 16, 2013
If you're not sure what to get, go for the 'omakase'. ¥3500 for some of the freshest, best sushi you'll ever have. The uni and o-toro are favourites. Ditch Sushi Dai (next door) and come here instead!
Tony XerriNovember 25, 2013
Come early and eat the best sushi you've ever had. Get the set list for 3,500Yen but get some balls and order yourself an extra piece of uni. The octopus shouldn't be missed as well. Phenomenal.

Second most popular sushi restaurant in Tsukiji so not as crowded as the other one. Everything here is heavenly delicious. Definitely worth the price.
naveenDecember 29, 2011
the omakase is a fifteen-minute sprint of this fish and that fish. the chef will knife up pieces faster than you can count: and your only job is to eat and take it all in
Peter BergMarch 30, 2015
Worth the wait. Chu toro was the best I've ever had anywhere. Same for the uni and aji (horse mackerel). Order omakase, but feel free to follow up with individual selections.
Jeanette MukaiApril 4, 2015
The otoro is out of this world. Trust the chef and get the omakase - you can always order individual nigiri of your favorites, too.
emily meyerSeptember 29, 2015
Tried to go to Sushi Dai but got shut down because we arrived later in the day around 1pm. Best mistake ever as Daiwa turned out to be the tastiest sushi I've ever had and chef was so sweet.
CatarinaAugust 26, 2013
1-hour waiting time, at least. Omakase is now ¥3700! You can also order individually from the menu. Was delicious! Very friendly sushi masters.
Eliza ChangMay 28, 2017
Only an hour wait on a weekday (arrived 9:30 AM). Excellent value omakase though the sushi construction was sloppy. Everything was super fresh but obviously not the market's premium goods.
Chris LaiNovember 19, 2016
Fresh sushi, but be prepared for at least 45mins waiting time. Always crowded! Also, check the Tsukiji Market website to make sure they're open.
Juliana 蔡莹颖June 30, 2014
The fish is just as fresh as sushi dai but twice as many hence a shorter waiting time. If you are not queuing in front of the door of sushi Dai, try this instead and save yourself a 2-hr wait.
Anna LiAugust 14, 2014
They serve the taste-of-the-ocean sushi(in a good way). The humorous multi-lingual sushi chef is very impressive as well!
Dazia PinedaNovember 16, 2017
Awesome sushi. Omakase style (the chef selects what you are eating). Cash only.
Viche GarridoJune 27, 2017
Best toro (fatty tuna) sushi - highly recommended
Joey JNovember 17, 2017
Don’t over complicate things. Get the Omakase. Well worth the wait. Time it after you visit the Tsukiji Fish Market.
Elise ❥December 31, 2016
The restaurant is really cramped but worth it (and the wait) coz they serve up really nice fresh sushi.
Yurika StarrFebruary 20, 2018
The sushi was great as expected. It was just really busy and felt really rushed to eat so not going back anytime soon
Port LauJanuary 10, 2015
Amazing toro with half the wait! The chefs are also hilarious.
Alan SuSeptember 22, 2017
Absolutely delicious & fresh sushi, don't be put off by the long queue, it's worth it!
Richard FooMay 2, 2015
Daiwa is one of the best, if not, the best sushi outlet in Tsukiji Market. Be prepared to queue for ages, and dine in cramped spaces, but you'll get the freshest, sweet and delectable morsels ever!
JustineJanuary 27, 2014
Skip sushi dai and come here for a much shorter wait! They have a $35 prix fix nagiri meal, but ask to get sashimi instead to get more fish!
Connie BonnieDecember 20, 2016
Omakase 💗 delicious. Always trust the chef and ask for the omakase. Amazing.
Amanda CabreraNovember 26, 2017
Best sushi and super fresh! Omakase price: $37.50
John Melas-KyriaziAugust 10, 2015
Beautiful omakase - highlights were the toro and uni
jenny zNovember 12, 2013
Omakase is ¥3,500 now. Cash only. Great food and service. Almost no wait. Highly recommend
Michael ChanAugust 4, 2018
Mediocre sushi (some were even salty) and chef kept rushing us. Chef kept shoving sushi on our plates despite not ready for the next. Skip this place and just go to Sushi Dai. It’s worth the wait!
SevtaNovember 18, 2017
The freshest sushi ever possible , make sure to come in the early morning
CezaryApril 8, 2013
Save yourself a 3-hour wait at Sushi Dai and eat here instead. The line is much shorter, but most tourists don't know because it's just a few steps further down the alley (btw buildings 6 and 7).
MaryJune 12, 2017
Arrived on a Monday morning at 5:20. It took us 45 minutes to get in but was worth it!
Mo NajeraMay 27, 2013
Been here 5+ times
Uni and Toro insane... Don't miss miso soup, it comes with baby clams.. Oishii!!! (Yummy)
Chinaphong KowongJuly 23, 2014
Horse Mackarel (in season during summer)
Yuko MatsunagaNovember 25, 2011
3,500 per person and worth it! The owner is really friendly and gives us good explanation for each piece.
Amit GolanSeptember 22, 2018
Decent omakase, but not worth a 1.5-hour wait, nor the feeling of being rushed through the meal and out the door the minute it's over.
Yuko MatsunagaJune 9, 2013
one of the best sushi bar, very friendly master.
Lukasz GJune 9, 2015
Delicious sushi! It does not get any better than this!
WayneApril 25, 2014
Eating in weekdays makes you just waiting for 15 mins!
