Editorial Review

Fashionistas and their male counterparts line up for tables arranged in such close proximity that a Tetris champion must have laid them out. At some point, your elbow will interlock with your neighbor's, which may make for a slightly more authentic Japanese sushi-ya experience, but can be off-putting for Midwesterners who revere their personal space. The specials are amazing, usually featuring some kind of super-fatty tuna or a signature maki roll that will make you cry.
