You know, besides the nasty taste of raw fish and algae.

Well. Are you going to share why?

10% tip on carryout. A lot of these workers earn minimum wage or not much over. If you can afford $70 for sushi, you can spare another $7 to make the restaurant worker much more happy. Think of it as that $7 probably means a lot less to you than it will mean to the worker who will likely be very pleased, and likely remember you the next time you go there.

I always tip on take-out, having assumed that the tip is still pooled among all the staff in the front and back of the house. I don't tip 20% but around 10-15. They're still taking your order (unless there's online ordering) and packing things up nicely is work. I do hope that the chefs get a portion of the tip but I'm not sure.

You don!t tip on takeout.

Yes you do. Have you ever worked in a restaurant?
Give a few $1s or a $5.

I generally tip 10% on take-out. Someone has to take the time to verify and pack up the order, get utensils, etc. in addition to their regular duties.

You should tip on take out if it's the waitress/bartender packing it for you.They'd rather wait on tables than take your orders and wrap things for you with all the condiments.
That said, $1-3 will do, unless it's above $100 order.
