I know what is not healthy - avoid anything fried or w/cream cheese. Hard to go wrong at the sushi bar though. Rice, fish & veggies = yum! Have some edamame too!

Avoid anything battered/ deep fired, and alos anything that looks like it's got a lot of mayo in it. Best bet is sashimi - raw fish.

Do you like fresh fish? The rainbow roll is awesome! Different varieties of fresh fish with avacado. Try with brown rice!!

Like others have said, no tempura (fried) or rolls with cream cheese or mayo in them. Edamame is excellent, miso soup is very healthy and even the salad is fine but the japanese dressing contains a lot of sugar and might be higher in calories. If you have a choice between soup or salad with your meal, I'd go with the soup as it's lower in calories- just my opinion though.

The amount of mayo in some things, like spicy tuna, is pretty minimal so I wouldn't make a huge deal about that if you want a piece. I don't eat the tempura rolls because they are gross to me after eating such fresh rolls. Nigiri is going to be a piece of sashimi on rice, which is not my personal taste. I prefer the veggies and the nori. I absolutely LOVE Inari. It is a tofu pouch that is lightly sweetened and stuffed with sushi rice. I usually eat that for dessert.

Most of it is good for you, but items with sauces (eel roll, spicy tuna roll, etc.), cream cheese or tempura will be higher in calories than sushi with just veggies and/or fish. If they offer brown rice sushi, that will have more fiber.

I usually opt for Sashimi or rolls wrapped in rice paper or seaweed rather than rice:)

This doesn't compute. Why do people create monstrosities like this. Have you ever eaten a Philadelphia roll? I thought it sounded disgusting first time I heard of it, but it is one of my favorite rolls. I can't eat a lot of them in a row though so I usually split a plate with people. The place we go to here makes theirs with salmon, cream cheese, avocado and cucumber.

One salmon skin roll may be lower in cals/fat than you think, AND the crunch of the skin makes it seem like it's deep fried. At Yo! Sushi, one salmon skin roll is 99cals and 2g fat, and 3 salmon skin ISO is 114cals and 3g fat =)
