For ambiance and great food, I love Sushi Kimura. It’s a small restaurant which requires reservations otherwise you can wait. I was recommended by several people to go there and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was fresh and it was a “true” japanese restaurant! http://www.sushikimura.com/
Yay! So happy my fave sushi restaurant came out on top! Been dying to go there lately!
