Description

With its snazzy, glowing blue interior, this hip outpost of the Dallas-based restaurant offers excellent sushi rolls as well as shared plates, a full sushi bar and a cocktail bar equipped with four flat-screen TVs.

Daily specials include $5 martini night Tuesdays and $1 sake Thursdays, as well as a daily happy hour from $4 to 7 p.m.
