We Found You 4 New Sushi Spots in Damascus You’ll Love!

Sushi lovers, this one’s for you! Damascus has officially joined the sushi craze, and we’re not complaining. Between the fresh flavors, the artful presentation, and that perfect mix of rice, fish, and sauce, sushi has become the thing to crave. Whether you’re a pro with chopsticks or just testing the waters, we’ve rounded up four new sushi spots around the city that are totally worth your time (and your appetite).

1. Umami

If you’re chasing that real Japanese vibe, Umami nails it. The place feels modern and chill, with a Tokyo-inspired touch that makes you want to stay for hours. Try their shrimp, tuna, crab, and salmon sushi; all super fresh. The teriyaki and katsu rolls are also hits, and the crispy crab salad? Chef’s kiss. Don’t skip the noodles or their cashew tempura dish!

2. Gemini Grill

Looking for something a little fancier? Gemini Grill has major date-night energy. Every plate looks like art, and the sushi melts in your mouth. Go for the mango roll, dragon roll, or anything with tuna or salmon. Seriously, you can’t go wrong. Their crab and steak salads are also crowd favorites.

3. Taiyo

Taiyo is all about comfort and simplicity. It’s stylish but not over the top; the kind of place you’ll go back to again and again. We’re obsessed with their rainbow and spicy tuna rolls, plus their tempura and veggie options are so good. Don’t forget the miso soup and fresh salads on the side.
