Sushi Wabi

Frommer's Review

Artfully presented sushi and chic crowds are the order of the day at this stylish restaurant. The minimal-chic decor is industrial and raw, and the lighting is dark and seductive -- giving the restaurant the feel of a nightclub rather than a casual sushi bar (the live DJ music on weekends adds to the clubby feel).

Choose from dozens of nigiri sushi (fish and various eggs perched on vinegared rice), maki (rolls of seafood, veggies, and rice in seaweed), a chef's selection sashimi plate, and a smattering of appetizers, entrees, and sides. Sushi highlights include the sea-scallop roll with smelt roe, mayonnaise, avocado, and sesame seeds; the dragon roll of shrimp tempura, eel, and avocado; and the spiky, crunchy spider roll of soft-shell crab, smelt roe, mayonnaise, and pepper-vinegar sauce. Simple entrees such as seared tuna, grilled salmon, teriyaki beef, and sesame-crusted chicken breast will satisfy landlubbers who are accommodating their sushi-loving companions. An intriguing side is the Japanese whipped potato salad with ginger, cucumber, carrots, and scallions. A selection of teas in cast-iron pots and chilled sakes is offered; or try a martini with a ginger-stuffed olive.
