Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar

With chef-owner D.K. Kodama’s creative take on sushi rolls (mango and crab salad handrolls with Thai chili sauce and panko-crusted ahi sashimi rolls among them), Sansei’s scores high with adventurous diners. But expertly sliced sashimi platters and straightforward gobo rolls will accommodate even the pickiest sushi snobs. Small and big plates are meant for sharing, though you’ll fight over the last bites of misoyaki butterfish. The heavenly Dungeness crab ramen features an aromatic truffle broth flecked with cilantro, Thai basil, and jalapeños. For dessert, most people go for tempura-fried ice cream or the Granny Smith apple tart with homemade caramel sauce. Tip: Eat during the first seating at 5pm and sushi is 50% off.
