Sushi Restaurants in Madrid

Finding great sushi in Madrid isn’t as hard as some say. There’s a quiet confidence in places like Ten Sushi or Kabuki, where each piece feels thoughtfully made , and way fresher than typical chains. If you’re wandering through Chueca or Salamanca, you’ll spot more sushi bars than you might expect, often packed with locals, especially on a Friday night.

Heads up: some of the best spots don’t always have flashy menus, so don’t be afraid to ask the chef for what’s freshest or a little off-menu. When the salmon is sweet and the rice has that perfect subtle vinegar bite? You know you’re onto something. Want a cool local treat? Try the nikiri soy glaze on your nigiri or some tempura rolls with a twist. And yes, pairing your sushi with a cold Asahi or a glass of sake here is not only expected, it’s part of the charm.

If you visit in winter, check out Furusato in Chamberí. Their cozy atmosphere and traditional offerings feel like a slice of Tokyo in Madrid. Just a little heads up: sushi in Madrid leans towards a more European touch, so if you’re craving strictly old-school Edomae style, you’ll want to ask or look for smaller, less touristy shops.
