At Upper Quay, the sushi menu is built around clean flavours, careful balance, and options that suit both purists and curious diners.
It’s the kind of menu that invites sharing, second orders, and the familiar debate over who ordered the last piece.
What makes Upper Quay’s sushi menu stand out is its balance.
- The uramaki rolls are where many diners begin. Inside-out rolls like spicy tuna, salmon with cream cheese, and tempura prawn are neatly assembled and generously filled. Each one delivers clear flavours without trying to steal the spotlight. The rainbow roll and no-rice roll add a bit of theatre to the table, offering colour, variety, and a lighter option for those skipping the carbs.
- For those who prefer things stripped back, the sashimi and nigiri selections keep it simple and confident. Fresh salmon and tuna are served without distraction, letting texture and quality do the talking. The rose-style servings add a touch of elegance, making them ideal for sharing or starting a meal on a refined note.
- Maki and California rolls round out the menu with familiar favourites that appeal across the table. Whether it’s cucumber and avocado for something fresh or prawn and tuna for a richer bite, these rolls are easy to enjoy and easy to reorder.
- The poke bowls offer a more substantial option, combining fresh seafood with bold flavours in a single, satisfying dish. They’re ideal for diners who want the sushi experience with a little more substance.
There’s variety without excess, creativity without confusion, and a clear respect for the ingredients. It’s sushi designed to be enjoyed casually but remembered fondly.
