Sushi
Korean BBQ/Sushi & Sake
Korean BBQ can be a little pricey, but Sushi & Sake’s “All You Can Eat” deal is the star of the show. Cheap & scrumptious lunch specials.
La Montañita Co-op Market
A member-owned source for organic food, health, and beauty care products. The bulk aisle is expansive, the meat top-notch, and the best produce in the city. This month, prime-quality organic thanksgiving turkeys!
Sumo Sushi/Amerasia
In 2007, the University area’s beloved Amerasia moved downtown and sprouted a sushi wing next door. Amerasia’s dim sum is fantabulous, from its variety of dumplings with delectable meat and veggie fillings to ribs, salads, and savory pastries.
Sushi Gen
Don’t let the vacant stripmall and tattered sign scare you; follow the strobe to $20 all-you-can-eat sushi, delivered on giant boats by smiling staff. The dim interior is supplemented by a flat-screen with bad American TV, but as soon as you get your sushi you won’t much notice.
Sushiya
The Caterpillar Roll’s shaped like a caterpillar, the Dragon Roll… a dragon! For the sushi-phobic, there’s also Chinese favorites. The décor is warm, clean, and modern, though the Asian-style elevator music can be less-than-soothing.
Talin Market
Their aisles are named by capital city (Havana, Saigon, etc.), which is both convenient and frustrating, if you failed high school geography. Their cache of hard-to-finds, from curries to South American teas to Asian hot sauces, is relieving and intimidating in equal measure.
