We're a small neighborhood sushi joint owned by two long time friends and chefs. We came to Polk Street to offer up the best fish we can find in a casual atmosphere and try to offer it at reasonable price point that doesn't outpace our neighborhood.
The pastel walls, linen tablecloths and Edwardian ambiance smacks more of a European cafe than a dynamite sushi and Japanese-style grill. The aesthetic, though, is as masterful as the rendition of Japanese favorites, such as the house specialty, the Ecstasy Roll, which mixes avocado, tuna, tobiko and green onions for a refreshing and tasty take on a hand roll. Also popular with the foodies and dotcommers who flock here are the tender and tangy Sesame Flank Steak as well as the grilled salmon spiked with lime and chilly. The service is personable and the mood is mellow. Opens Daily at 5.30 pm.

Rintaro
Sylvan Mishima Brackett, the head chef and owner of Izakaya Rintaro, is already well-known in the area for Peko Peko, a company that offers Japanese catering service. The restaurant interiors are a blend of those at casual and fine dining restaurants and the dishes too are priced reasonably. The food is served in tapas-style portions with attractive garnishes and the focus is on Yakitori, a grilled chicken dish served on skewers. Try items like Santa Barbara Uni Donburi, Berkshire Pork Gyoza and Ginger Chiffon Cake, followed by Japanese alcoholic beverages like Soju and Sake. The seasonal menu ensures that no two visits to this restaurant are the same.
