This casual Little Italy BYOB offers a sushi-centric Japanese menu. Try one of the dragon rolls (earth, fire or gold) or branch out with the signature Ichiban roll, filled with shrimp tempura and sliced apple then topped with crab stick, tempura flakes, eel sauce, spicy mayo and mango sauce. Cooked options include udon noodle soups, teriyaki, tempura and Japanese-style fried rice. The bi-level space offers a six-seat sushi bar as you enter on the main floor. Head up a few stairs to the dining room, which is done up in earthy tones, lined with natural wood and has great views of the open kitchen below.
