A little local wisdom

If you’re after a genuine bite of Asia in Sharm El Sheikh, skip the obvious tourist spots around Naama Bay’s main strip and head a bit deeper, especially into Downtown or side streets near Soho Square. If it’s sushi or Japanese you want, Sakura’s temperature control and fresh ingredients stand out in a town where fresh fish can be tricky to source.

Also, nights tend to be busier, so try hitting Asian restaurants for lunch or early dinner. You’ll get better service and usually some quiet to enjoy your meal. And if you’re craving a blend of styles, Bamboo Asian does a decent fusion that feels more honest than just mashed-together favorites. Trust me, it beats any cookie-cutter hotel buffet you might’ve had your eye on.
