Eight Sushi Lounge

Eight Sushi Lounge is cool without even trying, not unlike your old high school frenemy who has 130K more social media followers than you (not jealous). The chic wooden installations hanging from the ceiling inside and the dim lighting from hanging glass orbs set a comfortable mood without being pretentious. Our favorite from their “This Is How We Roll” sushi menu is the Casanova roll with crab salad, shrimp tempura, and seared scallops topped with serrano pepper to give it a nice kick. For a mixtape of all the popular hits, go with the Hashtag roll (tuna, shrimp, and salmon) instead. Eight Sushi is serious on flavor but keeps things playful with fun menu headers like “Bucket List” and “Mind Boggling.” How annoyingly cool of them.
