The first challenge with Zushi is just writing it. Try it: WhatsApp, Telegram or any well-intentioned keyboard will turn it into "Sushi", as part of a conspiracy by the restaurants of the Land of the Rising Sun. And instead it is one of the most well-known and stylized gastronomic realities in the city.
It's incredible how the new generation immediately recognizes quality (I'm talking about my daughters): you can't fool them with other sushi. Just one look at those perfect nigiri, the sashimi arranged like in a zen anatomy table, and the dishes that seem to pass an ISO 21621-style quality control (it really exists!) is enough to understand that here every detail counts.
I suspect that between the kitchen and the dining room there is a secret room where each dish is scanned, X-rayed and, if it doesn't pass the test... it is incinerated along with the chef. Also because it seems that the kitchen staff changes as quickly as a Korean TV production: creative turnover or ritual sacrifice? Nobody knows.
The result, however, is always exceptional.
The only slight downfall: the yaki udon with beef and shiitake mushrooms (that's how it's spelled, if memory serves). But I suspect it's a karmic trap for those who dare to order a hot, soupy, beef dish at a place called Zushi. Come on, the message is clear: 'There are no Lubianske, you're here for the fish. Raw!'
So yes, Zushi is more than sushi. It's a style. Corporate.
And if autocorrect doesn't get it, the palate and the eyes do.

The sushi it’s probably the best in town, unfortunately the price is always a little high

For sushi lovers, it's worth the occasional indulgence of trying pieces that are difficult to find elsewhere. Nice place, and highly qualified staff.

Among the Japanese restaurants in Trieste it is certainly my favorite. Nice environment. Friendly and polite staff. Little choice of wines.

Res si zaslužijo 5 zvezdic za vse. Hrana je sveža in lepo predstavljena, postrežba profesionalna, hitra, res brez pripomb. Le 5 minut od parkirišča Molo 4. Zelo čist in prijeten lokal. Suši in ostale Japonske specialitete po novih trendih. Ena od boljših Japonskih restavracij, kar sem jih obiskal.
