The character
🍣 is Sushi, U+1F363, from Unicode 6.0 in 2010. The name does not say nigiri or maki, and vendors have taken that freedom in different directions, so a message can arrive as a hand-pressed piece on one phone and as a cut roll on another. If the distinction matters – a menu, a listing, an order – put the word next to the character.

The one people get wrong
🍥 is Fish Cake With Swirl Design – narutomaki, the pink-swirled fish cake that sits on top of a bowl of ramen. It is not sushi and it is not a roll. At chat size it looks enough like a maki piece that it turns up in sushi posts by mistake. 🍜 Steaming Bowl is the ramen character; 🍥 is one topping in it.
Which cuisines have a character, and which do not
Japanese food is covered well because the earliest emoji sets were built for Japanese mobile carriers. Everything else is thin. 🍛 Curry And Rice is drawn as Japanese curry rather than as an Indian dish, and it is the only curry there is. 🥡 Takeout Box is the folded carton used by Chinese restaurants in the United States, which is why it reads as Chinese takeout to Americans and as nothing much elsewhere. There is no Korean, Thai or Indian food character. The working substitutes are 🍜 for a noodle bowl, 🍛 for anything served over rice, and 🥢 or 🥡 for the meal as a whole – say the cuisine in words if it has to be clear.
Copy notes
The 2010 characters here are safe on anything still receiving messages. The four from 2017 and the moon cake from 2018 are recent enough to fall back to an empty rectangle on a device that stopped updating. Screen readers announce each character by its short name, so a row of six is read as six separate words rather than as a meal. More of the plate is on the food emoji hub; the plates, bowls and cutlery are on restaurant emoji; and for dishes that carry meaning at the lunar new year, see Chinese New Year food symbols.
