Sushi Roku has become a favorite local spot for a scene and nouveau sushi. The Gen-X, movie-industry set crowd the sleekly modern surroundings nightly. They share such delicate and exotic appetizers as tuna tataki salad, monkfish pâté and rock shrimp popcorn tempura, followed by a tremendous variety of sushi including a roll filled with shrimp and deep-fried jalapeño peppers and sea bass with shredded deep-fried yams. There will always be a creative offering from the daily specials. Wash it all down with saké or such potent specialty drinks as the Tokyo Rose. Special thanks to the Kruis-Grant family.
