Question
I’m visiting Japan for the first time, and I’m interested in trying some local sushi places. However, I’m not confident in my Japanese when it comes to ordering. How do I ask, “Can you recommend a type of sushi?” in Japanese?

おすすめの寿司（すし）はありますか。
Osusume no sushi wa arimasu ka?
Can you recommend a type of sushi?
This is a handy phrase to use when you want a recommendation from a local or a staff member at a sushi restaurant. Osusume means “recommendation”, and sushi is, of course, “sushi”. The wa arimasu ka at the end forms the question, which means “do you have” or “is there”.
When you want to ask for recommendations for other dishes or items, you can replace “sushi” with the word for the dish or item you are interested in. This phrase can help you explore various options and try something new.
