Sushi Gallery is a Japanese restaurant at 1230 Tutanekai St in Brunswick, Rotorua, with a Google rating of 4.3.
Japanese restaurants cover more than sushi, from noodle soups and rice bowls to tempura, grilled dishes and small shared plates. Good sushi starts with the rice, which should be lightly seasoned, slightly sticky and just warm or at room temperature, with fish and fillings that look fresh and clean. If you are choosing a Japanese restaurant, look at the breadth of the menu and ask staff what is freshest or most popular that day. Regulars mix a few types, such as nigiri, rolls and a hot dish, use soy sauce sparingly so the rice does not fall apart, and eat sushi soon after it arrives. Tell staff about allergies, as soy, sesame, fish, shellfish and egg are common, and ring ahead for larger groups or platters.
For anyone around Brunswick and Rotorua, Sushi Gallery on Tutanekai St is a well-rated local choice for Japanese food.
