Ebizo Japanese Restaurant
The restaurant is known for its fresh, inexpensive sushi. The service is efficient and friendly, offering steaming green tea and warm hand towels upon arrival. The tuna tataki is top-notch, and the Riki Roll, which is a tempura prawn roll topped with salmon, tuna and avocado, is highly recommended. It is a little-known secret that you can request to have clams added to your miso soup, for a nominal charge. Reservations are recommended.
