Planet Sushi

In Short – With big windows all around, a faux-bamboo facade, a tableau depicting space exploration, and a modern, streamlined look, Planet Sushi takes a friendly attitude to Japanese cuisine. In addition to the expected sushi standards, served a la carte or in combos, the sushi bar offers blackened tuna, an eel-avocado roll and other inventions. The kitchen also offers hot entrees, including beef with a mushroom-radish sauce, fluke fillet with wasabi, and scallops in lemon butter. – –

Great sushi and 2 for 1 saki if you spend over $15 a head. All of the rolls are priced between 6-12$ and they actually taste good. My girl and I left after putting down 3 rolls, a tempura plate, 3 beers and 2 sakis for $70 with a generous tip. They have a really spacious outdoor seating area that is not cramped at all. It was a great start to a Friday night and I will do it again soon!

Pros: Price, service, food
Cons: Cheesy decor...wait thats a pro

Great Customer Service

by sharmagirl

I arrived here strictly for a light business lunch. This included me, myself and I, where I had to check voicemail, make phonecalls and grab a bite to eat. I was happily surprised. Complimentary wine/sake with my meal, and the service was attentive and excellent. My sderver made some excellent recommendations, was very polite and the food came out promptly. I had the Sharons' roll and considering myself quite a "sushi connoisseur" I did not expect this. OHhhh, delicious tuna wrapped, crunchy orange seaweed outside, with lobster meat peeking out from underneath along with fresh melt-in-your-mouth avocado. Simply heaven.

Pros: Everything!!

Wonderful food, gracious (if occasionally clumsy) service in a beautiful setting.

Planet is very simple. It has no gimmicks, it's not trendy, it's just some of the best sushi in the city in a lovely quiet room. Your best is sushi here, but the cooked dishes are also quite good. Lunch is a spectacular bargain; every bit as good as dinner at a fraction of the price. Service can be uneven, but it is always friendly and polite. The chirashi is especially good - chef's choice of sashimi arranged on perfectly cooked and seasoned sushi rice. Well worth it for both lunch and dinner, and a close runner-up to Yasuda in quality.
