sushi??

Grantley
By Grantley

my kids have just got their next karate belt, and we promised them a 'slap-up' sushi meal to celebrate.

 

Is there a proper sushi bar in Doha, apart from the hotels?

 

all suggestions welcomed, on behalf of an 8 & 10 year old...

 

thanks,

 

Grantley

When I went there the first time, it was pricey but wonderful. Their mixed tempura dish was nice and crispy. When I returned last month, the quality dropped tremendously! Both service and the food. The salmon was really horrible. It was not fresh at all! Talk about tuna also! The tuna was almost discolored to brown! I think the sushi chef tried to get me sick! I complained to the older lady who she claimed to be the owner and she did nothing and walked away! What a great service they have! I think I will try somewhere else for sushi. Maybe Spice Market at the W hotel...

I'm Japanese with hobby of cooking Japanese tasts.

I can guide anybody who has keen interest for making sushi.

However, sushi with fresh fish meat needs variety of extreamly fresh fishes, hamour, salmon, tuna, red snapper, robster, cuttle fish, and best quality rice, rice, vineger and konbu (sea weed).

Since to buy small quantity of such fresh fish meat and other gredients is rather difficult here, an arrangement to form a group (not less than 5 persons) is recommended to enjoy sushi together for effective expense and consumption.

Anyboby who whish to enjoy sushi cooking, pls contact me.

oke if coming from jarir bookstore just keep straight about 200m you will see strips-mall/shops, NEO is next to Citroen car Showroom. They offer japanese and also italian and lil bit of asian. good variatiy of menu.

before you order your starter, please take note, they will give you warm nice bread with soft butter, or sometime some compliment soup that fill you up so no need starter just order main course.

There is a great place it's attached to a hotel, it's the hotel that is on the road towards the traffic lights that take you to the Qtel branch near al naser street. Great sushi there but it is quite expensive.

@spicemom, it's in Ramada Plaza

 

@grantly, at Ramada intersection (the one where chilis is).

You'll find a long line of cafe's. One of them there is called Mint.

Go to Mint, they have sushi... it has to be the best one. I dont eat sea food so i dont know but my friends say its the best, but a bit expensive.

We'll cross Moon Palace off our list (we turned up too early last time and it was closed).  Ramada has been fantastic, as has Regency, but oh so expensive.  Might check Neo out.  Will report back.

 

thanks again to y'all

Yes the Sakura in Ramada has the best Sushi and sashimi IMHO - go there all the time

 

Tried the Korean/Jap in Korea Moon Garden - Doha Clinic road yesterday - that was ok but not the best.

 

The Intercon's is ok, as well as the Marrriots - but the best is still the Sakura in Ramada

I haven't really seen any AUTHENTIC Japanese restaurant that's outside of Hotels and serve fantastic sushi  and especially Sashimi. Tuna is hard to come by I guess, and Salmon is just downright expensive.

 

Anyone here who has contacts for a good and steady (but reasonably priced) supplier of Fresh Tuna for Sashimi? I think I might just order from who ever that reliable supplier and make em at home.

 

Another Japanese Treat I miss is Wagyu beef... Again, hopefully outside of hotels... Any suggestions?

I see.. Moon Palace is now a Korean and Japanese restaurant. They serve you the Korean side dishes like kimchi but again it is not totally Korean, for example, potatoes cube. As for the sashimi, it was not really fresh.

By spicemom• 11 Mar 2008 22:17

 well onceupon a time we are allowed to BYO own drinks then the place went into closure for a while and then we never went anymore but the food at that time wsnt too bad dunno abt these days tho
