Any true sushi-lover will tell you that sushi is an experience. It can pick you up after a tough week, as you and your friends stuff your face after sake-bombing. Sushi always there after multiple meals of fried food, reminding you that healthy eating can be just as delicious. Or, sushi can be the perfect date, making your significant other feel special while pretending they're teaching you how to use chopsticks.

Mas Sake
The DJ booth found in the corner makes it clear why this restaurant's tagline is 'Freestyle Sushi'. On Friday and Saturday nights people line up to eat rolls with names like 'You're hot, I'm Scott' and 'Niki Boom Boom', shouting at one another over the top forty hits blasting at full blast. Bring a large group of friends to let loose, get stuffed and swap stories of, 'of my god, I can't believe I did that,' after an evening of the restaurants signature cocktails the next day.

Ozumo
The Sake Lounge paired with the Sushi Bar has made Ozumo a favorite among city-dwellers. Stop by after work to enjoy one of the widest selections of premium imported sake that's offered in the U.S. Stay awhile and move to the Sushi Bar where you can order 'Omakase', letting the chef prepare you a surprise after surprise of the day's tastiest choices. At Ozumo you can unwind, moving from experience to experience and it's classy all the way.

Umami
Part the dark curtains to encounter an upscale, hip vibe that's exemplified through the minimalist Asian décor. Contrasting the atmosphere are friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff who make sure everyone feels welcome. Though delicious, Umami is on the pricey side, so save up for a special occasion or dine during the restaurant's happy hour, which has half-priced bottles of wine and rolls for four bucks.

Moki
A great place to enjoy a new take on sushi – Hawiian style. Adjectives like tropical and inventive flash through your mind, while munching on rolls that include coconut rice and macadamia nuts. Moki is also a great place to take mixed groups that include those crazies who don't love sushi. An added bonus is the ambiance, which includes well-spaced tables, low-lit lights and soft music, allowing for audible conversations between lovers or friends.
