We love sushi and Chinese food together. The interior here is calming and restorative, stimulating the appetite for the sushi to follow. A couple of the standouts are the spider rolls (tempura soft shell crab) and the spicy tuna rolls; the hamachi yellowtail has always been unfailingly fresh and succulent. A big plus is its central location and accessibility. — Mick Vann
