| The casual café and bar area of this California/Asian restaurant provides the perfect sanctuary for single women. If you go during the fabulous sushi happy hour period (5-7pm) sit at the bar and order up a few rolls The bartenders will chat with you and most of the men are of the friendly-without-being-too-overbearing variety. Go after happy hour and you can still order dinner or sushi off of their full menu while sitting at the bar or at one of the tiny café tables. |
