Zawa Japanese
Zawa offers high-quality fish that you'd pay a lot more for at fancier sushi restaurants. For $51, you get nine generously-portioned pieces and a roll made with some especially vinegary rice. We particularly like the king salmon, snapper, and ocean trout. Even non-sushi items like shiitake tempura and a yuzu citrus cheesecake are above-average. In addition to top-notch Japanese food, this place has an inviting, tranquil dining room with an omakase counter and a few tables that are arranged in a way that makes each one feel semi-private. The setting is perfect for enjoying their super fresh and silky fish.
