10Best Says

Armed with the rare ability to "convert non-sushi eaters", this Fairmount Asian "treat" works its "magic" with "beautiful, creative arrangements" that "make the crowd go crazy" – and BYOB lets you "save on drinks and still indulge"; with "attentive" service and "modern" decor, it's "intimate" enough to be a "date spot" (just be sure to "make reservations, even during the week").
