Editorial Review for Planet Sushi – by Paul Adams

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.

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.
