Message: | Tsukiji isn't cheap, but it's not as expensive as other sushi restaurants. In my opinion, the cost is reasonable for the quality. Total cost for the dinner last Friday night (not including the premium sake, tax, or tip) was around $100 for the two of us. In my experience, this is the high end of the scale for a typical meal at Tsukiji. The usual range is from around $70 to $90 for two (again, this is just for the sushi). This is pretty much the ball park for the better sushi restaurants in town, including Tsukasa. Some of the more fancy-schmancy places, like Nishimura or Mori, cost $150 and up for two. Then, of course, there's Ginza Sushiko, at $300 plus for ONE person. A lot of sushi restaurants are getting premium prices for their omakase dinners, typically charging $70 to $100 per person. My ordering is typically what I'd call "quasi-omakase." Many of the sushi chefs at the restaurants I frequent know me well enough serve some dishes without request, to make suggestions as to other dishes, and I also make requests as well. Of course, the cost of a meal depends on what you order. Some things are more expensive than others. |
