If you find yourself road tripping across the United States and would like to know which Sushi restaurants to stop at along the way, don’t think that just because you are in the middle of the U.S., hundreds of miles from a body of water, that it is impossible to get good sushi.

There are great options out there, and we’ve gathered in this list voted best sushi restaurants guaranteed to satisfy any pallet.

Just one pro tip before beginning your journey: Don’t rub your chop sticks together when you break them apart, it is considered insulting and suggests that you think the restaurant’s utensils are cheap.

Alabama: Sushi Café

The Texas Roll—one of their most famous—has shrimp tempura, avocado, cream cheese and spicy tuna, masago, green onions, and 3 different sauces on top. Texas must’ve really shown them how it’s done if they decided to name one of their greatest creations after another state.

Alaska: Sushi & Sushi

Why cater in sandwiches for your office party when you can get a boat filled with sushi?

Arizona: Harumi Sushi

This sushi restaurant consistently leaves patrons wanting more. Their sushi is always fresh and flavorful, and they also use purple rice for their rolls, which is native to Thailand and supposedly a healthier choice than white rice. Plus, it makes your sushi way more Insta-worthy.

Arkansas: Kemuri

Some of their most awesome rolls—with equally awesome names—include “The Crazy Monkey,” “Golden Boy,” and “Spicy Girl.” A crowd favorite is the Surf and Turf Roll, shown above. It has soft shell crab, spicy crab, blue crab, cucumber, and mango, topped with shaved filet mignon.
