Editorial Review

Slick, glowing tunnel of incredible sushi courtesy of those Lambs again. Bamboo-lined walls and golden light in teeny-tiny space live up to jewel box name. Stunningly fresh fish in 50-plus varieties, masterfully sliced and diced. That fatty tuna is flown in fresh from a Tokyo fishmonger. Nobu for those unwilling to trek west. Get the $95 tasting menu (omakase) for an orgiastic assault on the senses.
