For those who are curious, Sushi Dai is considered hands down the best sushi place inside the Tsukiji market. However, the wait is typically 4+ hours. If you get in line even before the first trains, the wait can be as short as 90 minutes. Anything shorter than that is blind luck.
Daiwa Sushi is typically considered second. Lines are typically around 45 minutes long.
- viraptor 11y agoThe fun part is standing for an hour in a queue that leads to the small street so you can queue some more to the actual place :) But the other restaurants (if you can call them that) in the same street are amazing too. I doubt I'd be able tell a difference between them. Edit: for people who haven't seen this great establishment, here's the queue and the view on the restaurants: https://tinyurl.com/j8efukr https://tinyurl.com/j8efukr

- i386 11y agoI waited 6 hours in line for Sushi Dai. Food was amazing.
- saryant 11y agoI ate at Sushi Dai the morning after Fukushima. A group from the hostel I was staying at spent the night at a manga cafe near Tsukiji that night. No line that morning.
- toyg 11y agoTo be honest, to most Western mouth the difference between Sushi Dai and any random joint in the same area is negligible. We had delicious sushi at 8 in the morning in another place, and it was still the best I've ever had (and I tried my fair share of sushi joints in London and Paris, as well as Tokyo and Kyoto). Honestly, if you are in Tokyo for a short period, it doesn't make sense to waste 6 hours in a queue for sushi, go elsewhere.
