This is my favorite restaurant. It's a fifteen minute drive from the house. They are open late during the week and even later on weekends. Sushi is very good and inexpensive. My favorites are tootsie roll, tuna symphony, and Carashi Bowl.

I only recommend this place if you are just looking to drink at a iconic neighborhood dive bar. Cool place to see locals. They have food but I don't recommend it, unless you get tater tots with chili and cheese on it.
