How can I reserve a sushi restaurant in Tokyo

Sushi restaurants in Tokyo usually take reservations over the phone, but this, of course, depends on the sushi restaurant. However, phone reservations can be difficult if you do not speak Japanese. The best option to reserve sushi restaurants in Tokyo is to use an online reservation service. Platforms like byFood help foreign travelers to make reservations at restaurants. You can easily use byFood to filter for the type of Tokyo sushi restaurant you would like to eat at, and in which area of Tokyo. This makes it easy to narrow down sushi restaurant options and make a reservation. Just add in your details to the sushi restaurant page, and byFood will submit a reservation request on your behalf. When the reservation is successful, you will receive a confirmation email. Otherwise, you will receive a rejection email.

Is a reservation required for all sushi restaurants in Tokyo?

Not all sushi restaurants in Tokyo require a reservation, however some do. This depends on the sushi restaurant of course, but usually it is not necessary for casual sushi restaurants, like sushiya at markets and conveyor belt sushi restaurants. If you want to try high-end sushi, reserving a Tokyo sushi restaurant is almost essential, and definitely recommended as they are very popular. Some sushi restaurants in Tokyo are often reserved many months in advance.

What is the average cost of sushi lunch or dinner in Tokyo?

The cost of sushi in Tokyo varies based on the type and restaurant. At conveyor belt sushi spots, where you pay per plate, the total depends on what you choose. At mid-range sushi restaurants, expect to pay around ¥3,000 for a set meal, sushi bowl, or several plates from a sushi train. Upscale sushi dining starts at ¥5,000 per person, but prices can go much higher for premium experiences.
