This festive sushi restaurant is funky, Zen-like, modern, always packed, open late, and full of lookers. And it serves up great fish. In short, it’s the ultimate neighborhood joint. A grand sushi bar graces the long dining room, which opens into an outdoor patio, which then becomes a glossy-white back dining room. Fresh sushi, sashimi, and oyster specials rotate daily, and entrées like miso black cod and tempura are favorites. An approachable cold sake list helps diners wash it all down.
