Asian-food impressario Ann Bognar shifts countries (her first two restaurants were Thai) to provide Japanese basics such as sushi, udon, tempura and shabu-shabu, complemented by specialty items (like scallops in wasabi cream) that add a pan-Asian touch. Don't let the generic strip-mall exterior fool you -- the interior is a masterpiece of sparse elegance.

    Excellent sushi, a bit on the tiny side for the price, but the flavor does not disappoint!

    Wow! Fabulous sushi! Plus a great Thai food experience in one strip mall restaurant that has more than a little ambience. I've eaten sushi all over the country and this place has that little extra something that makes you want to return.

    This is the best sushi restaurant in the area. I know because I have been to every one. I have lived in Japan for 8 years and this food is like going back to Japan. St. Louis is lucky to have such a high caliber sushi restaurant here. I am never disappointed when I bring friends because of their consistent service and quality food.
