"The" old sushi spot. Small, unassuming but don't go if you don't have a reservation. You might get to sit at the bar but don't count on it. Still cutting the finest sushi at a reasonable price in the original old "divey" decor. This is the place where Shiro (the famous local sushi cutter) got his start.
