Post yer favorites in your area with location and a brief description. And pictures if you got them.

LOCATION: ATLANTA, GA

Sushi Nami
http://sushinami.com/
5316 Windward Pkwy Ste B
Alpharetta, GA 30004
(678) 566-3889

The Low Down: While a bit further north of Atlanta (in Alpharetta), this place by design is a fest on th eyes. Done in a very minimalist architechure of browns and warm lights illuminating the textured walls behind the sushi bar, the atmosphere is magical. The staff and sushi techs are first rate and they have a huge selection of Sake and beer from Japan. You also get real wasabi made in front of you and you must try the NY Strip roll while you are there.

LOCATION: DALLAS, TX

Osaka Sushi
5012 W Park Blvd
Plano, TX 75094
(972) 931- 8898

Good food, great service and Japanese inspired architecture make this restaurant located just north of Dallas a must for sushi fans. Lunch and dinner buffet featuring Maki rolls, Nigri, Sashimi, and Tempura, as well as a full line of Sake and Japanese beer.

I posted some of these pics earlier in another post, but here are some again.

Resturant Murata

200 SW Market St Ste 105
Portland, OR
(503) 227-0080

Super authentic sushi! Lots of Celebrity endorsement on the walls. The Food Network's Alton Brown called it, "The best raw fish I've ever had." And you can get your sushi any way you like it, as long as it's Murata-San's way.

Umenoki

2330 NW Thurman St,
Portland, OR
(503) 242-6404

Classy, tasty, And great service.

Mio Sushi

3962 SE Hawthorne
Portland, OR 97214
(503) 230-6981

It's not the best but's it's close!

That's my favorites. There are about 11 Sushi resturaunts in the City so I haven't tried them all. I did eat at a very nice sushi place in Studio City, CA that was super busy and had awsome o-toro, I think it was called Teru.

Los Angeles, CA 90048

http://losangeles.citysearch.com/profile/32641638/

One of my favorite places to eat in all of Socal! They play awesome music there, and also a lot hot UCLA girls come in.

Plus, its cheap to boot! $2.50 a plate, you can get full for 10 bucks there. Compare that to other sushi places in LA!

frictionfighter · 06-26-2006, 04:11 PM

Hobi's sushi is ichiban!
located in torrance cali, carson street.
i dont know the exact address since i never send them letters.

the lowdown: super super small place that sits about 8 people inside and another 6 outside. however hobi is a grandmaster sushi chef, it takes him about 45 mins to prepare your order but you will gladly wait for this caliber of food. its mad choice.

http://yp.yahoo.com/py/ypMap.py?Pyt=...r:regT:1:fbT:0

...they've been around forever and parking is ultra easy because it's away from Mountain View downtown. I guess their off downtown location hasn't put them out of business yet because their customers keep coming back with friends (like me heheh).

tel. 626-962-8110
fax. 626-962-0369

http://www.o-nami.com/location/location.htm

has a variety of sushi. they were all pretty good, but none of them wowed me.

has a GREAT cooked food section, japanese salad bar, and AWESOME dessert section. carrot cake, tea cake, strawberries dipped in chocolate, all kinds of cheesecakes. they were all amazing, too. salads were good, unique.

wins BEST OVERALL for a japanese sushi/seafood restaraunt for me. oh and the interior is very nice..

=D>

kissingurami · 07-03-2006, 11:30 AM

got another one for ya.. just went to this one yesterday.

Aki's Sushi Bar and Thai BBQ
1626 E 7th St
Long Beach, CA
(562) 436-8180

sushi was great.. served in long plates and very artistic looking. $5 rolls when it is happy hour (3-5pm). beer and saki
also have a sushi bar but i didn't try that out.

best thai curry soups i've ever tasted. red, yellow, green curry.. you name it. try the roast duck curry

it looks like they combined these two stores - sushi and thai food. they even have two signs out front. if they did .. it was a good choice.
service was great too.

Sushi-Sake
2150 North Collins Blvd
Richardson, TX 75080
(972) 470-0722

A small traditional style Japanese sushi bar hidden off of North Collins and Alamo Road is the place to go for the freshest sushi around. A master sushi chef makes everything in front of you; including the best spicy tuna hand rolls in Dallas.

kissingurami · 07-04-2006, 12:36 AM

ok.. keep posting these great places in texas with pictures of unique places and i'll be tempted to go down to try them for myself.

how is the crunch rolls at these places? any other rolls you recommend

any pictures of the interior? i'd like to see the atmosphere of these places.

vote4pedro · 07-04-2006, 08:57 AM

Not my personal sushi bar, but I thought worth posting:

I'll try to take some interior pics next time.. each place is pretty unique and all have great atmosphere. My fav crunch roll here in town is at Simon's Sushi.. we'll see if I can get over there w/ my digi cam next.

Very good. Some traditional, some French influenced. Not a fusion place. I'm a frequent repeat customer.

Small cramped spot with a limited printed menu, but lots of off the menu items.

time to move this thread up where it belongs

Niko Niko Sushi
Colima Rd.

this place just opened this weekend. dropped in for awhile and i loved it.

be sure to try the "hungry roll". one order of this will fill you up =D>

FooSchnickens · 01-01-2007, 08:01 PM

Hashiguchi Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar
3000 Windy Hill Rd SE # A5, Marietta, GA 30067

Great food and sushi, thuogh a tad pricey. Best to make reservations for any size party.

Umezono Japanese Restaurant
2086 Cobb Pkwy Se # B
Smyrna, GA 30080
http://www.umezono.us/

AWESOME place. Great prices and a great sushi bar to boot. Good location for a meet, it has a couple of large traditional seating rooms (25+ each)

ExHondaMan · 01-01-2007, 08:21 PM

Sorry, I don't believe in discount sushi or "all-you-can-eats". My sushi meals are usually $125-$200 per person and last 4 to 5 hours. Anyone down? Being that I'm a Certified Executive Chef doesn't mean I'm a food snob, but sushi is one area where only the highest quality RAW food goes into my tummy.

My favorites in San Diego are Taka in downtown, and Sushi Ota in PB. The key to good sushi and sashimi is to ask whats NOT on the menu or ask for the Chef's creation.

anti-FWD · 01-01-2007, 09:42 PM

BLOWFISH in sunset Los angeles, ca . Food is really good here and the people are beautiful. whether you wanna eat sushi or hang out in the BAR. My brother used to spin here last year every week and i get to go with him and eat for free. hehehe.

Since moving back to Georgia, the only sushi I've had was in Kennesaw: Shogun on Busbee (not bad, but pricey) and the sushi buffet at RuSan's on Barrett (kinda gross).

Back in Maryland we always went to Sakura in Pasadena. Yum.
