In general, it can get expensive, but compared to most places in Basel, this could actually be a cheap option if done right (fill up on soup and salad and just order 1 or 2 simple rolls). They have lots of options including some good specialty rolls, however you get a lot more rice than fish..that is the one downfall.... More

In switzerland, rules are often followed religiously just because they are rules. But in this place, the people really showed the hospitality. We knew we would not make it while at the opening hours, so called them in advance and ordered some take away. We were 20mins later than closing hours, but when we asked, they still let us stay...

They have 3 great bento options for lunch: vegetarian, warm food, cold food. They all come with a miso soup and they cost around CHF26.

I go very often to this restaurant which is one of the few sushi bars in town. It's not bad at all, but the amount of fish on top of the rice is getting thiner and thiner and the prices higher and higher. The selection is very limited, just basic stuff. They need to be more creative, otherwise a more... More

Negishi at Gerbergasse is right down town in Basle. Nice for a quick lunch or dinner. Not really romantic but delicious. In Basle there are two Negishi, I would prefer the one at Gerbergasse.

Absolutely excellent, freshly made sushi - great for Switzerland but be prepared for Swiss prices! Service is a little patchy and could be better. Tips - book for evenings especially for more than 2 people - Monday night is there all you can eat night - you can order take away ahead and just pick it up
