There’s a reason why sushi, sashimi, and poke bowls are so popular: simply put, they’re delicious. This is especially true when the product is fresh and expertly prepared, as it is in these Manila eateries that specialize in takeout. When you’re craving food to indulge in at home, there really is nowhere better than these delightful eateries that are sure to leave you wanting more. 

Ono Poke

Popularizing the Hawaiian favorite, Ono Poke serves up fresh poke bowls with a diverse menu of customizable food options. Their signature flavors include tuna and salmon in sauces that range from creamy (aburi garlic) to tangy (ginger ponzu). 

Customers have the option of choosing to have their order in a bowl or in a poke wrap. They can choose to have their fish raw (poke) or torched (aburi). Finish it off by customizing the base (white rice, brown rice, sushi rice, cabbage, quinoa, Adlai, or soba noodles) and toppings (spicy kani, regular kani, wakame, or kimchi) for a meal that’s completely tailored to you and for you! 

Location: Multiple Branches

The Golden Catch

Walking past a Golden Catch kiosk will instantly tempt the eye – and the palate. Known for fresh, farmed Norwegian salmon, The Golden Catch guarantees fresh fish daily, never frozen. Apart from the usual favorites of tuna and salmon, The Golden Catch also offers clients steelhead trout, which is known to be sweeter than salmon, but with slightly less fat and calories. 

And though The Golden Catch is known for their sashimi, we definitely recommend trying their other items too, such as their spicy tuna or salmon salad for a filling snack or appetizer.

Salmon HQ

If there’s one thing that’s put Salmon HQ on the map, it’s their sushi cake. The brand was among the first to release this fun food innovation that eventually became a huge trend in the mid-2010’s. Today, they continue serving sushi cake and have even upped the ante by introducing salmon cake, made from salmon sashimi slices. 

Salmon HQ is also your best bet for parties as the brand has huge platters made for sharing. From sushi boats to sushi boxes, Salmon HQ introduces mixed platters that include favorites such as poke bowls, gunkan, sushi rolls, and nigiri. 

Location: Salmon HQ, The Corner Marker, Podium, 12 ADB Ave, Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City

Konbini Store

A Japanese supermarket that’s also opened its own restaurant, sausage stand, and sushi bar, Konbini Store prides itself in bringing Japan closer to its customers. They serve fresh and delicate sushi and sashimi, with sophisticated cuts, such as Akami (lean tuna), O Toro (fattiest part of bluefin tuna), and Chu Toro (fatty tuna). 

After nearly two decades in Greenhills, Konbini Store has also opened another branch in Robinsons Magnolia which gives customers the option to bring home fresh sushi. Their open-kitchen also allows clients to see the chefs freshly prepare this takeout daily. Simply pick one out from the display and take it home to enjoy! 

Location: Konbini Store, UGF, Robinsons Magnolia, Quezon City

Taste and Tell

An online business that boomed during the pandemic, Taste and Tell is famous for its rich sushi bake. Since then, the food supplier has expanded to cover more Japanese dishes such as rice bowls and noodles, plus desserts. They’ve also opened up two restaurants to serve a la carte dishes for individual diners. 

Apart from the sushi bake, we recommend their Shimesaba (vinegared mackerel) sashimi, Hamachi belly, and Hokkigai (saltwater clam) sashimi for a taste of authentic Japanese flavors. Consider getting their sets too, each of which can feed anywhere from four to 16 guests, depending on the size.

Zuki

Zuki’s menu is pretty straightforward: fresh poke bowls and sushi rolls. Located in Quezon City, Zuki’s menu boasts bright flavors that are fun and complex. They transform ingredients such as salmon, ebi (prawns), and tuna into rolls that refreshing on the tongue, marrying them to ingredients such as spicy mayonnaise, crunchy panko, sweet mangoes, and indulgent cheese. 

Zuki is a particularly good option for those who love spice. Their spicy salmon and tuna rolls deliver on heat, as does its poke counterpart, which is topped with cucumbers and tempura flakes.

Zuki is available for order online

Umi Sushi

A lunch favorite for those in Makati, Umi Sushi is popular for its varied menu. Aside from the usual salmon and tuna, Umi Sushi also plays around with Hamachi, Snapper, Ika (squid), and Uni (sea urchin roe). Their recipes are bright, vibrant, and playful, with a focus on textures such as creaminess (such as in their Philadelphia maki made with salmon and sesame), crispness (such as in their crispy tempura maki), and tenderness (such as in their soft-shell maki). 

Location: Umi Sushi, 102-103 Air Residences Yakal Street San Antonio, Makati City
