I'm by no means a sushi connoseur (yes, white) but when I was in Toyko I went to this sushi spot right next to the fish market and while the prices were okay, they did offer certain "higher tier" versions of certain sushi variants. Like the regular salmon sushi went for couple of dollars a piece I'd say (was in 2009 so memory is a bit thin) but there was this one version of it that was like 10-15 dollars which I found extremely expensive but wanted to try to see what the deal is and that shit just melted in your mouth like butter. I mean, it probably wasn't on an overall "jiro dreams of sushi" level but that was amazing. Overall the whole food there was sick, I'm a huge okonomiyaki fan since. Only thing I won't ever eat again is natto, but to each their own. lol
I find there are too many Korean owned Sushi restos these days, although many of them are pretty good..But I find the best restos are authentic Japanese-owned.

So again its not somewhere i'd go to eat SUSHI, per say. but ones i recommend that are chain/known and isnt going to be 100-200 per person, would be Sushi Roku, Katsuya (either version, recipes are the same), Omino, Sugar Fish, theres countless, im not going to name them all but those are some of the mains.if you want to try REALLY REALLY good sushi, something i havent really tried either, is the omakase (chefs choice course meal, AND YOU HAVE TO GET COLD OMAKASE (RAW), if you get the hot one you need to slap the shit out of yourself)When you eat sushi, you should eat sushi family style. dont be a bunch of cracker ass white boys and order individual shit. especially if you order rolls.but if you want to expand your sushi game, dont get those typical rolls as much. maybe one or two special rolls would be good to share for the whole group, but theres so much more you can eat.check for those sashimi appetizers, some have white fish (sea brime or halibut or red snapper) with sea salt and i forget the sauce, spicy tuna salsa seared sashimi, etc etc.and anything with UNI is going to be good.Im a bit of a food connoisseur, and me being asian and eating sushi since i was a kid, its easy for me to judge sushi. and usually, and of course not the case i can tell what kind quality it is (besides word of mouth and yelp and such) by looking at the establishment and the menu.im thinking about making some sort of food blog. let people know good places and give the advice on what to order.it really astounds me, like when my friends order to, they get the plain basic 'safe' food item thats usually found in any other restaurant.like dudes really cant read the menu at times (as in conjuring up those ingredients in your mind)i love the cheapest greasiest foods to the most expensive small portion gourmet dishes.lol, i watch the food network sometimes and some of the peoples titles are 'restauranteur' , im like how the fuck do you become a restauranteur . lol
