Sushi Samba

Editorial Review

Perhaps the original fashion-sushi fusion event. Japanese raw fish freshness with touches of Peru and Brazil, i.e. yellowtail sashimi ceviche. Draws swanks from uptown downtown, nouveau professional set from the neighborhood, tourists from all over. Real sushi chef cooks in the center isle while hot, black-clad waitresses bring things with names like sambatinis. Warm interior, outside walls like a Mondrian if he'd ever gotten over primary colors.
