Sushi is relatively new in Dhaka, but Samdado is one of the city's oldest Japanese restaurants. The dark wood and bamboo decor here lends an appropriate atmosphere to the freshly prepared sushi and sashimi. The menu also features plenty of noodle and teriyaki dishes, plus a smattering of Korean and Thai standards.
