Though sushi is definitely on the menu, Kushi is more about introducing the traditional Japanese izakaya concept with a grill counter, raw bar and the works. [Eater 38 Member]

The charcoal fire pit and surrounding U-shaped bar dominate the room. But don’t ignore the raw items—sushi and sashimi are almost always pristine. What to get: Braised pork-belly rolls; duck sausage.

It's got everything you need. Boisterous, after-work izakaya drinking culture? Check. The kushiyaki serving skewered & grilled meats? Check. The raw bar slicing up the freshest fish from Japan? Check.

You can't order wrong at this place, but I recommend the skirt steak skewer, the miso-glazed fish, and the braised pork belly. All amazing.

The rice ball (occasionally vegetarian), is best when grilled. The heat toasts the rice kernels and results in a nice nutty flavor.

The name suggests sushi - which is good - but the grilled skewers (chicken w plum sauce, duck) and vegetables (eggplant) make the place.

Sitting at the bar is better than sitting at the table. It's fun to watch the cooks do their thing.

Try the skewers for which this Japanese haven is named, as well as the other small plates that rotate according to the freshest seafood that's available that day.

Are you a BBQ fan AND a sushi fan? Then get the braised pork belly roll for a little eastern-southern flair.
