    Sushi-San is such a fun spot with great energy. It’s lively but never too much, & the staff is always super friendly & on it. The broccolini is a must—so flavorful & perfectly charred. The skirt steak is tender & packed with flavor, & the lettuce wraps are fresh & light. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything here. Solid food, great vibes, & always a good time.

    Best meal I've had in a long time. We ordered everything off the vegan menu and it's so refreshing to have options that are so full of flavor and don't rely on faux meats. One of my favorite places to come in the city. And best green beans in the world!
