The best sushi this side of Tokyo! If you’ve seen the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi, the head sushi chef is one of Jiro’s apprentices featured in the movie. This is a place to experience the real art of sushi. I recommend sitting at the bar so you can watch them work and order the full chef’s choice dinner.
