Gaijin Sushi is the creation of chef/director, Michal Kubiak.

Having opened in March 2018, and receiving excellent reviews, including the Guardian in our first month, we are proud to offer a unique experience. You can sit around our sushi bar, which sits 10 and watch our chefs creating the sushi right before your eyes! Or if you would like to enjoy with friends we have two tables that can seat up to 6 people.

Please feel free to ask questions, such are "Where is the fish from?" we love answering them!

If your don't believe us, read our reviews! Let our guests tell you what it is like!

We look forward to having you dine with us.

    We wanted to love this place as we regularly go out for sushi and have been recommended this place. We booked it as a joint birthday treat and were sadly underwhelmed. The food itself was nice but overpriced. There was no atmosphere or nice decor, and the service was pretty basic and not the friendly upbeat manner you’d expect - especially as service charge is added to the bill. Considering the price point, we did expect more value for money and generally more enjoyable experience. If you want a nice experience, really nice food and great service we’d recommend Sushi Passion instead.

    Gaijin is surely one of the best sushi restaurants in Birmingham, in my opinion. The food is always amazing, and I appreciate the attentive service. I went for the Omakase tasting menu, and it was a fantastic experience. I found the price reasonable for what you receive. For some, it may be expensive, but I honestly believe that you always pay for quality, and the food is undoubtedly of high quality. Totally recommended!

    Incredible omakase experience. The salmon belly was our favourite. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Great value for money and we’re excited to return!

    We had the tasting experience and it did not disappoint. The sushi was delicious and it wasn’t the same as a usual sushi place. So so good. We will be back!

    It exceeded my expectations. I chose the Omakase, not knowing which sushi would be served. I’m originally from Japan, but I enjoyed their sushi just as much as, or even more than, what I’ve had in Japan. Thank you so much

    My wife and I have had good japanese food in Japan and Singapore. We felt the seafood here is not as fresh as we had hoped for the omakaze. We had relayed our feedback to the team, who have then informed us that the seafood was 'delivered yesterday'. They have promised to look into their supply chain. Unfortunately, this was not a good experience for us for the price of the food.
