OMG. Don't let the small size of the restaurant fool you. This 3 table & sushi bar tiny place has more flavor than restaurants 5 times its size. Zagat says this: Move over, Oishii demand Brookliners not that it needs to make much room: all of three tables and a tiny sushi bar delineate this "offbeat" Asian fusion "shoebox" in Washington Square, whose owner (a chatty former FuGaKyu chef) fittingly enough conceives his "raw and cooked" innovations way outside the box, where the value happens to be astonishing and where the cutesy name remains the only barrier to its discovery.

Now-- this place was ranked a 27 out of 30 on Zagat... which is pretty hard to do. But man, this place is damn good. Try the appetizers. Try the banana eel tempura. I know it sounds weird but the sweetness of the banana really brings out the flavor of the eel-- A must try: The soft shell crab roll is super cheap and you get a whole large soft shell crab. This place is a definite MUST for sushi lovers! The fish is so fresh it practically melts in your mouth (try the toro, hard to come by and very fresh here!). The varieties and choices are endless. Try to sit at the sushi bar and you can chat up the owner, who tells you about all that he's making (if you ask!). A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Even if you stick to your California rolls, try at least one of the fusion rolls-- you won't be disappointed!

Rating: 5/5
