Editorial Review for Sushi Roku – by Martha Burr
The Scene
The beautiful decor rivals the beautiful people who throng here--so much so that the beautiful sushi is almost an afterthought. Hollywood hopefuls and their industry counterparts make deals and discuss the latest buzz among classical Japanese wood, bamboo and stone decor.
The Food
The sushi chefs prepare innovative smaller dishes out of succulent, sliced hunks of raw fish. The scallop dynamite is tender and sweet--one of the best in town--and the rich black cod is a perfect counterbalance to the more delicate sashimi dishes. Try any sashimi appetizer, such as salmon or bonito, with tangy garlic ponzu sauce and jalapeno tempura. Sushi specials change daily but usually include rarer and more expensive Japanese imports such as ishi-tai (black tail snapper), sayori (half beak) and kohada (gizzard shad). Desserts are over-the-top rich and very good--especially the espresso and vanilla profiteroles.

This is the best sushi I've had in this area. The rolls are really unique and delicious! The bar is also very hip, fun, and sheeck (sp?).
Pros: YUMMY!
Cons: EXPENSIVE sushi, traffic/parking, people are seated too close together.

this is a good spot for a nicer work lunch. they do good sushi rolls but i wouldn't go there for the fish itself. service was always ok. your basic drink list. nice decor. convenient valet. cooked stuff is ok too. basically, it's reliable if you're in the area, but not destination dining.
Pros: good rolls, pretty decor
Cons: not my pick for sushi itself
