In recent years, Newport’s sushi scene has changed immensely. Sushi used to be a harder-to-find food category in the area, but thanks to new restaurant openings and lots of new culinary talent, local menus have adapted to capture the demand for this popular food. While there are plenty of new sushi options to try on the island, traditional go-to’s like Clarke Cooke House Summer Sushi menu remain tried and true. Here’s our list of the best sushi to try in Newport.

Mori Japanese Restaurant

In the past year, the husband and wife team behind Mori have moved the restaurant from a tucked-away location in Goddard Row into a much larger and more visible space at Bellevue Gardens that can accommodate large parties. The location has changed, but their high-quality sushi is still the same: the best year-round sushi and sashimi in Newport bar-none. Try the Bellevue Roll – white tuna, cucumber, jalapeno pepper,  and masago topped with spicy yellowtail, green onion, and spicy mayo. Great for dining in or taking out.
