I normally get sushi to carryout from here at least once a week. We've tried most everywhere in the area and have found this to be the most consistent, well done sushi in the area.

Akai Hana, formerly Restaurant Japan, makes sushi an art. Although perhaps not as trendy as other sushi restaurants in the area, Akai Hana has no reason to be pretentious. While other sushi restaurants are...
