10 Best Cities For Sushi Lovers

Japanese cuisine has a little something for everyone. On a cold, blustery day, a big bowl of steaming ramen can warm you up—and fill you up. If you’re in a hurry, grabbing a quick sushi roll to-go can be a delicious and quick solution. And if you’re looking to elevate the traditional birthday dinner, teppanyaki shows can be a great way to celebrate.

The sushi craze especially has taken America by storm. Some people prefer to stick to clean, simple rolls and nigiri that focus on the fresh fish, while others look for the most inventive and far-out options—rolls that are deep-fried or filled with cream cheese.

If you’re craving sushi, finding an area with enough options can be challenging. To help you find these sushi meccas, FindTheHome found the 10 cities in the U.S. with the highest amount of sushi restaurants per 10K people.
