For diners tired of restaurants with snooty waitresses and aloof chefs, Sushi on Tap is a godsend. Sushi on Tap owes it all to The Cotton Club . Owners Kiyo Sone and Ken Tsuchiya fell in love with tap after seeing the film nearly a decade ago in their native Japan. They taught themselves some steps, and 12 years later decided to open a sushi bar where they could strut their stuff in between chopping ginger and wrapping California rolls. Not only is the restaurant delightful, kitschy fun, but the food is surprisingly good.
All dinners come with miso soup, salad, rice and an assortment of Japanese vegetables.
The salmon teriyaki and tempura dinner is a perfect combo for grease-craving diners who want to maintain a semblance of healthy eating habits. The teriyaki is broiled and lean, while the shrimp and vegetable tempura is fried to a crisp. The sashimi dinner is also a standout. There's a nice variety of fish on the plate, and for a mere fifteen bucks the portions are generous. Sushi on Tap has the attitude of a Japanese Ed Debevic's.
