Description
Don't let its tiny size and proximity to Mediocrity Row fool you—this BYOB sushi newcomer offers up plenty of gems, from thick slabs of fresh sashimi to well-balanced maki creations. Munch on crispy salt-and-pepper calamari and silky spinach (goma ae) appetizers while perusing the massive maki list. Or just take our advice and go for the Volcano. Tiny tobiko and smelt roe add briny pop, tempura lends crunch, spicy mayo brings the heat, and cool hamachi and escolar smooth out the edges.
Hours
Lunch, dinner.

I've been there with two friends last Sunday to celebrate my birthday anniversary. We ordered Rolled Beef Stick, Spicy Tuna Tempura and Crispy calamari to start. They're all wonderful!! Then, we ordered several makis to share. Their Tiger maki is amazing, we love the cripsy softshell crab which they put inside and the sweet egg on top; it's like a perfect combination! Their tempura ice-cream looks so good but unfortunately we had no room for dessert. We can't wait to go back to Shiso again....
