The second incarnation of John Lee’s sushi temple, which opened in 2008, is far more stylish and comfortable than the dark, aesthetically challenged Boystown original. However, Lee has given the sushi duties to chef Patrick Wang, so the place lacks the infectious revelry Lee brings to the sushi counter. Regulars often opt for the surprise omakase menu, but it seems out of place in a room this casual, and the progression lacks balance, leaning too hard on rich fish and shellfish and not nearly enough on vegetables. The best courses are the simplest: exquisite wild salmon sashimi is lightly dressed with olive oil, sea salt and Japanese hot pepper, and a plate of grilled hamachi collar offers nuggets of moist, tender flesh beneath the fish’s crispy, smoky exterior. Mains $15–$20.
