THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Midori Mushi Restaurant Review:

No one would think that an oddly shaped, semi-circular, tiny room---a wing of the neighborhood Days Inn---would be the next hot, hip sushi spot. But it is. The downstairs dining room seats only ten, that's five tables of two if all goes well. Bigger parties take heed. Those not lucky enough to get seated immediately will have to wait. The delightful staff has planned well for this, leading would-be diners upstairs, instructing them to remove their shoes and inviting them to slink down into a comfy, pillow-lined seat, order some saké and enjoy the DJ spinning at the turntable. Back downstairs, à la carte sushi, nigiri and hand rolls mix up inventive combinations with sparklingly fresh seafood that changes nightly depending upon what's available. Thick slabs of sweet hamachi line up next to melt-in-your-mouth toro. Sushi addicts will appreciate the omakase. The multi-course menu is designed by the chef to suit your tastes and might include wild salmon with citrusy yuzu sauce; tuna rolled with avocado, daikon and sesame oil; and plump, sticky rice topped with scallions and sashimi. The restaurant accepts cash only.
