INCREDIBLE! The best sushi restaurant I’ve ever been to. I’m embarrassed it has taken me so long to visit, but happy to have a new fave to recommend to anyone and everyone who will listen. The quality of the food is sensation, staff are knowledgeable and welcoming, and the atmosphere is cosy and intimate.

Came here yesterday with the family and honestly, what a meal. We've been to loads of sushi places across Asia and been to Japan several times, and this is genuinely the best sushi we've had since moving to the UK. Everything was spot on. Beautifully presented, perfectly executed, and so fresh. What really stood out is how authentic it all was. This isn't your typical UK sushi that's been toned down for British tastes. This is proper Japanese cuisine that could hold its own in Tokyo. The restaurant looks gorgeous too, really lovely decor. But what made the evening special was Claudia, our waitress. She was absolutely brilliant. So warm and friendly, played peek-a-boo with our girls, and was incredibly flexible with how they served the omakase to work around our family. Just made us feel completely welcome. We brought our young daughter and toddler along (always a bit nerve wracking!) but they couldn't have been more accommodating. The team was so thoughtful and flexible, and they even surprised our daughter with a special sushi rice bowl which she was over the moon about, plus a lovely dessert at the end. Honestly, more people need to know about this place. If you want proper, authentic Japanese food done to an exceptional standard, you need to come here.

This has to be one of the best sushi spots I’ve tried in the UK. Everything tasted exceptionally fresh, and the atmosphere was cozy and calm, making it a really enjoyable place to dine. The chef was clearly highly experienced from the precise preparation to the careful way the fresh fish was stored and handled, every detail showed true skill and respect for the craft of sushi making. I will definitely come back when i am back in the city again.

Absolutely unreal experience at Gaijin, the staff were incredible, the food was absolutely fantastic and the atmosphere is so intimate, watching the chefs cook is such a brilliant experience. Would recommend to anyone. Also a good tip, we booked an early table through First Tables and the food was 50% off!

Had a lovely lunch date with my husband at Gaijin Sushi, Birmingham, and it was absolutely fantastic! We had some of the best sushi rolls and sashimi we’ve ever tasted, everything was incredibly fresh and bursting with flavour. We ordered the Gaijin Set, which came with a delicious variety of sushi rolls and sashimi, a perfect choice if you want to try a bit of everything. I also loved the sushi bar setup, where you can watch the chefs prepare your food right in front of you. It’s such a satisfying experience and really adds to the authenticity. The ambience was relaxing and modern, making it perfect for a casual date or a special treat. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each dish as they served it. Highly recommend Gaijin Sushi for anyone looking for fresh, high-quality sushi in Birmingham — we’ll definitely be back! 🍣✨
