A sushi display case keeps raw fish and prepared ingredients cold, clean and visible right on the sushi bar, so chefs can work in front of guests. Babak Food Equipment offers refrigerated sushi cases for sushi bars, Japanese and Asian restaurants, poke shops, grocery stores and hotel kitchens across Vancouver and British Columbia, with models from Turbo Air, Hydra Kool and Infrico.
Types of sushi cases
Curved glass sushi cases
Curved front glass gives guests a clear view of the fish while protecting it from the dining room. It is the classic look for a sushi counter.
Straight glass sushi cases
Flat glass offers a modern, minimal profile that suits contemporary restaurants and open kitchens.
Sushi cases by length
Sushi cases typically range from about 4 to 8 feet. Longer cases hold more trays and serve two or more chefs side by side.
Door options
Most models have rear sliding doors on the chef side. Glass or plastic doors are common; choose the style that is easiest for your team to open and clean.
How to choose a sushi display case

Counter length: measure the sushi bar and the space each chef needs. Leave room at each end for prep and plating.
Temperature: sushi cases are designed to keep fish at about 32–41°F (0–5°C). Check how evenly the case holds that range from end to end.
Tray capacity: think about how many fish varieties you display at once and the size of the trays or pans you use.
Drainage and cleaning: a sloped deck, drain and removable parts make it easier to clean away moisture and fish residue every day.
Power and placement: most sushi cases plug into a standard outlet. Keep them away from hot equipment so they can hold temperature.

Frequently asked questions
What temperature should a sushi case be?
Sushi cases typically hold fish at about 32–41°F (0–5°C). Keep raw fish at or below 40°F (4°C) for food safety.
What size sushi case do I need?
Most restaurants choose a case about 5–6 feet long for one or two chefs. Measure your bar and count the fish varieties you plan to display.
Glass doors or plastic doors?
Both work. Glass is scratch-resistant and looks premium; plastic is lighter and less likely to break. Pick what suits your team and cleaning routine.
Can a sushi case be used for other foods?
Yes. Many cafés and grocers use sushi cases to display poke ingredients, desserts, small salads or garnishes on the counter.
