| - Rusan's is an old friend. No seriously, I used to go there 2+ times per week and I was the Norm of Cheers. But a move put me further away from it so I'm not as regular as I once was. While Rusan doesn't come by anymore, the owners Kim & Hata have grown the business through the expansion. It doesn't provide the same swanky ambiance as Enso, but you can go in your shorts.
First, let me admit, I hate the lunchtime buffet. Everyone loves it and it's a great deal, but you're getting the mass produced generic rolls. Plus it's super crowded. So I order off the menu for lunch.
For dinner, however, they have a huge selection of rolls, but if you sit at the bar and befriend the chefs, the best sushi in town can be found by just asking the chefs to whip something up for you. They come up with some amazing stuff. That doesn't help, Jules. OK, so some of my favorites off the regular or seasonal menus are the jalapeno Hamachi sashimi, the "martini" with macadamia encrusted variety of fish, the Tokyo rock & roll, broiled sea bass, the twice cooked salmon, and seared tuna (add green onion the old way). I also like the tempura shrimp and sweet potato. Yum.
Rusan's is a place where membership has its rewards, so why don't you become a regular? It's the best sushi value in town. You can bank on it.
