Restaurant Nishimura Description:
A stone's throw from the Pacific Design Center, this elegant, intimate establishment offers a Zen-like atmosphere for the consumption of pampered pieces of fish prepared by sushi chef Hiro Nishimura, who previously reigned over the bars at R-23 and The Hump. One enters Nishimura discreetly through an austere Japanese garden to find a minimalist, whitewashed room with a sushi bar covered in black and white resin and tables draped in linen, flatteringly illuminated by candlelight. The hot dishes, such as scallop-and-mussel soup served in a scallop shell aglow in flames, are good, but the straightforward sashimi and sushi (blue fin crusted with pepper, Spanish mackerel, freshwater eel) are most memorable. Live scallops with lime and a hint of hot chile is a standout, and you won't find a better toro in town, which is also available seared.
