Description

Everybody, now! Tengo had a little cult, little cult, little cult, Tengo had a little cult... And the cult has followed Tengo, and his sideman Sefu and Tengo's brother Pao, as they blazed an award-strewn trail through all the best sushi bars in town. When he opened this little spot on the second floor of Calhoun Square, the little cult breathed a collective sigh of relief, so exhausted were they from having to keep track of Tengo's comings and goings. Why the cult status? Scrupulously fresh fish; extravagant, even overblown, sometimes hilarious rolls; and a joint-is-jumping sushi-bar atmosphere with jokes, drinks, more jokes, more drinks, and fish fish fish. Be sure to ask about the Demon Releaser.

Richie is numb to the world, wearing a blank expression on his face and carrying a Big Gulp-sized bloody in his hand, celery stalk protruding above the lip of the cup. He never seems to actually drink the... More »

    Must admit I prejudged based on location alone. Calhoun Square? I assumed MTV, wannabe sushi. Not so!!! Still (in my opinion) the best sushi joint in town. Strong menu, fun and knowledgeable staff, creative drink offerings ... great people watching...and most talented chefs.
