Arigato Sushi Description:
This hip sushi restaurant is always fun, always excellent and always crowded. No reservations are accepted; come early or take your place in the colorful queue of locals and visitors. Sit downstairs by the warm brick walls or outside on a balmier night, then order one of twenty sakés (premium bottles go as high as $88), or any of a host of beers or wines. But the faithful aren't drawn by the booze; the magnet is fresh fish and seafood, prepared and presented with artful flair. Ahi carpaccio---thin slices of translucent tuna dressed with minced scallions, red onions, smelt roe and a Japanese vinaigrette---is a favorite starter as is the sautéed edamame, with their finger-licking-good spicy garlic sauce. The long list of appetizers is worth perusing---sushi pizza, homemade gyoza and miso-glazed cod are tried-and-true selections. Don't miss the specials board with items like hokki clam, Spanish mackerel, monkfish liver, kanpachi and rich toro. Desserts are soothing like green tea or ginger ice cream or plum wine sherbet.
