Frommer's Review

Unlike Japanese restaurants that almost go overboard on tranquility, Sekisui is a noisy and active place, especially on weekends. The sushi bar prepares platters of assorted fish, from appetizer tidbits to a huge sushi boat that includes octopus, conch, snapper, and flying-fish-roe sushi. Fiery wasabi, a splash of soy, and shredded ginger add zing. Tempura, teriyaki, and yakizakana dinners come with rice, a wonderful miso soup, and salad. Some locations offer a separate robata grill menu. Among the other Sekisui locations are those at 25 S. Belvedere St. (tel. 901/725-0005), and in the suburban Humphreys Center shopping center, 50 Humphreys Blvd., at Walnut Grove Road (tel. 901/747-0001).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
