Freshness is paramount at this sophisticated Japanese restaurant, where sushi is the top draw and crowds flock for ambience and fun. Creative chefs craft spectacular rolls featuring sea urchin, yellowtail, albacore tuna, quail egg and all the other usual undersea suspects. If cooked foods are your preference, you'll find sweet scallops, butterfish and soft shell crabs. Edamame, seaweed salad and premium sakes are expected and offered, but there is also a wide range of surprising dishes, including a soba salad with sundried tomatoes. Arigato serves dinner only and does not take reservations. Doors open at 5:30 nightly. Walk from local hotels or park in nearby city lots.
