The Scene
Looking more like a sunny Greek taverna than an austere Japanese sushi bar, this quirky, easygoing spot is popular with couples and families. In warm weather, there are a few tables outside for prime people watching. Despite some minor language barriers, servers are accommodating and expedient.

The Food
The menu divides itself between sushi and other traditional (cooked) Japanese dishes. Sushi rolls are pristinely fresh and creative. Try the multi-hued rainbow roll, the Super Eel Roll with exquisitely ripe avocado and refreshing cucumber; and the Decatur Roll with four varieties of fish. Tempura is executed with precision: A combination shrimp and vegetable tempura plate makes a great pre-sushi starter. Hijike (black seaweed) is surprisingly delicious. Teriyaki and udon/soba soups are competent, if less interesting than other choices. Regulars argue good-naturedly about which ice cream flavor is best for dessert: seductive lychee or delectable red bean wins our vote.
