Like anything else anywhere in the world, there are pricey restaurants and budget restaurants in Tokyo.

But one doesn't have to a Michelin-rated Tokyo sushi restaurant to get a good meal. There are plenty of budget sushi restaurants to partake at.

Time Out Tokyo has listed several they consider to be the best.

They start with:

Tokyo is a foodie paradise, where you can enjoy a wide variety of mouth-watering Japanese food from tonkatsu and yakitori to soba and udon. And the great thing about eating sushi in the capital is that this world-famous delicacy can be found in a range of price points. From pricey Michelin-starred omakase sets to cheap standing eateries and everything in between, there are many ways to enjoy a quality sushi meal in the capital. You can even combine a visit to the Toyosu Market with a sushi meal after catching the tuna auction.  

Regardless of the sushi joint you pick, you can be rest assured that budget sushi doesn't always mean that the quality is compromised. Head to a kaitenzushi or conveyor-belt sushi joint, where a decent serving usually starts from as cheap as ¥80. Standing sushi bars are also a good option, where you can order fresh sushi directly from the chefs behind the counter for just a couple of hundred yen per plate. At prices this reasonable, best start loosening your belt for an unforgettable sushi feast in the city. 

One of my favorites in Tokyo is Sushizanmai. I have been to two of their locations, Tsukiji and Asakusa. Even though they aren't listed, I still recommend Sushizanmai.
