When tipping at a sushi restaurant, does the tip only go to the waitress or also to the sushi chef?

how can you tip to reflect that you especially liked the sushi chef’s work?

Depends on the restaurant.
If you want to tip anyone in particular, just let them know.

I know what you’re talking about. Like when you’re sitting at the sushi bar. I always hand my tip right to the sushi chef. That waitress didn’t do shit.

Yes. Since you’re going to speak to the chef anyway, to appreciate his work,
you can just hand him the euros directly. Or the yen, or whatever. Since dollars aren’t worth anything any more.

The waitresses “tip out” to the sushi chefs at the end of the night, but the amount is left up to their discretion.

If you eat at the sushi bar itself, I would hand my tip directly to the chefs.

If you are at a table, you can split the tip and ask the waitress to pass along a portion to the chefs.

Most places also have a jar or bowl on the sushi bar to which you can add some cash directly for the chefs.
