The most recent addition to Helsinki's gradually growing sushi scene opened its doors some weeks ago on the corner of Annankatu and Uudenmaankatu. Dansan Sushi Bar is a small venue with big windows, clean, simplified decor and a handful of tables. The place is open for lunch and dinner, and was fairly busy on a weeknight.
Food-wise, the inari and maki veggie set i ordered fell short of delicious but was definitely tasty, a notch above average. My non-veggie dinner date was of the same mind. We both wondered at the seriously sweet soy sauce, though. The best part of dinner, however, was the miso soup, which was hearty, slightly spicy and quite delicious.
Based on just one dinner time visit i'd say Dansan serves perfectly acceptable sushi, priced slightly above average due to the stripped down design image of the restaurant and its hipster-ish location i.e., across from Motellet, which will probably make it a favorite with said crowd as a pre-club dinner spot. If that's not your cup of tea, swing by at lunch time instead for the decently priced lunch sets, and be sure to try the miso soup. Dansan Sushi Bar, Annankatu 13, 00120 Helsinki
