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.

I love sushi. My bf mentioned we were interested in the "Hanabi" Spicy Tuna appetizer, which I guess meant that the manager should just go ahead and order it for us. We ordered our original appetizer and I really liked that one. Just can't remember it cause it was good. Of course, my bf liked the one the manager ordered for us. It was a bit too heavy for me. We ordered the Kobe Beef and Lamb appetizers, which were excellent. Food was good, just a little overpriced.
Pros: Good food and eye-catching ambience.
Cons: Price.

My husband and I had dinner here recently. The service was friendly and fast and the sushi was fresh and delicious. Try the scallop appetizer. I love the setting and atmosphere.
Pros: great sushi and atmosphere
Cons: I can't afford to go as often as I would like
