What to expect

Mimi Sushi Gourmet sits on Pylimo gatvė in the Naujamiestis (New Town) district, next to the Halės market hall, and makes presentation as much of a point as flavour. Each plate is built to look like a work of art, a detail diners consistently single out, and the kitchen pairs traditional Japanese technique with what it calls a 'European spice'. The fish is exceptionally fresh, the dining area small and intimate, and the staff friendly — the chef is often willing to create custom rolls if you ask.

The menu covers the classics — nigiri, maki, sashimi and ramen soup — alongside more unusual baked-sushi options and dedicated vegetarian and vegan choices, so it works for mixed groups. The room is small, which makes for a cosy, stylish experience, and the drinks list is fairly limited, so come for the food rather than the bar. Takeaway and delivery are available through the usual local platforms.
