Sushi Website Examples - 5 In-Depth Reviews of Sites That Whet the Appetite
A considered review of five existing sushi sites, including pros and cons and reviews of the desktop and mobile sites.
While many people enjoy sushi, most don't know the names of the different styles or what they include. Therefore, a sushi website should highlight the food by offering clear menus with short descriptions of each dish and high-quality images of the sushi. Customers will also want access to online ordering and the location and operating hours of the business.

1. Nami Nori
New York, New York, U.S.
Nami Nori is a temaki bar in New York that offers customers a casual elegant aesthetic. The site complements this design style with a sophisticated color palette and high-quality images of the food and location. The menu on the site and the online ordering section offer short descriptions of the items to help customers with ordering.
Customers can easily find the business's contact details, locations, and operating hours on the site. I also enjoyed the addition of news articles from popular sites that highlight the skill and quality of this restaurant.
2. Sushi Izu
Riverwood, New South Wales, Australia
Sushi Izu is a sushi retailer in Australia that operates within one of Australia's largest supermarket chains, Woolworths. The site is clean and minimalistic, with high-quality images acting as backdrops for CTAs that invite customers to learn more about the different types of sushi on offer.
The site leads the visitor through viewing the menu, finding their nearest store, or viewing the catering options. Customers also have the option of downloading the app and ordering online. However, online ordering seems to be unavailable unless you create an account.
3. Sushi Yugen
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Sushi Yugen offers visitors an omakase (dishes selected by the chef) sushi experience at an eight- or twelve-seat dining area. While the site is fairly text-heavy, with a small font that is sometimes difficult to read, visitors can find clear contact details, operating hours, costs, and social media links.
The site is also unique in that is highlights the various points and interior design elements within the restaurant that embrace Japanese culture. While the reservation system is intuitive and runs smoothly, the extensive list of do's and dont's for your booking may discourage some customers from making the booking.
4. Nuri
Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
Nuri is a sitdown, takeaway, and delivery sushi restaurant based in the Cape Town area. The site uses large, high-quality images to showcase the sushi and poké bowls on the menu, and prominent CTAs encourage visitors to view or download the menu.
Visitors will also find plenty of opportunities to contact the business to place their orders, from WhatsApp links to social media links. The menu is also helpfully divided into categories and includes short descriptions of the menu items.
5. Tenkaichi
Cardiff, Wales, U.K.
Tenkaichi was the first Japanese restaurant to open in Cardiff, specializing in sushi and noodle dishes. The site makes an impact by referencing the colors of the Japanese flag, with the added benefit that red both captures attention and whets the appetite — perfect for a restaurant's website.
The site is geared toward encouraging customers to visit the restaurant, with plenty of well-placed booking CTAs. However, online ordering is available and the menu here includes short item descriptions, while the menu on the site shows the different styles of sushi and noodles available.
