?There’s a common misconception about Sushi, and it’s that it’s best enjoyed in a dine-in experience — but we’ll argue that the joy of the Japanese delicacy lies in the ability to savor piece by piece and roll by roll from the comfort of your own home. Yet, where do you go for fresh, high-quality sushi that you know will survive the 20-minute commute to your kitchen? This week, we found out for ourselves: Ama Sushi.

With over six branches armed and ready to serve in Cairo, Ama Sushi has quietly built an army of loyal patrons — which we can now count ourselves amongst. While the menu does not offer anything out of the ordinary, you can expect to find all your favorite sushi rolls and then some. You’ll come across a selection of pan-Asian soups, salads, noodles, and appetizers, before being greeted with a few pages worth of rolls in all shapes, colors, and sizes.

Be your own curator, or go for the combos. We were in a bit of a hurry — which is to say, we were starving, and had enough decision-making on our plates for the day. In a swift move that could have easily taken a wrong turn, we opted for the 16-piece combo of hot lemon rolls, hoso shrimp tempura, and crispy rolls — an order of shrimp kunafas snuck its way into our baskets as well. As we waited, our worries grew — yet we would soon be comforted.

The sushi was hot and fresh out of the kitchen. As is the case with sushi deliveries, we were bracing ourselves for some sort of disaster that never came. Our order was safely packed, hot to the touch, and a quick bite proved it as fresh as could be. We had ordered a side of spicy mayo and teriyaki sauces, yet did not need to as the order came with a generous serving of complementary dips. The shrimp kunafas were a champion in our book, and so were the spicy lemon rolls.

Ama Sushi promises and delivers — its 4.5/5 star rating out of 10k reviews on Talabat definitely checks out, and we’ll be going back for more. Next time, however, we’ll be skipping out on the combos and getting creative. If you were not sure what to have this evening, Ama Sushi is worth your time.

WHERE TO GET IT- You can order from Talabat or El Menus, or dine in at one of Ama Sushi’s many branches across Cairo.
