The hip retro atmosphere doesn't outshine the savvy dishes. Giant pastel circles and multi-sized light globes hang from the ceiling and kaleidoscopic bulbs randomly set the walls aglow. By 7:00pm, Tokyo is bustling with the cool crowd squeezing their derrieres into faux Eames plastic yellow chairs in the dining area or Jetson-like turquoise stools at the sushi or cocktail bar. The sashimi is fresh, but the appetizers and rocking rolls win hands down. Try the quail egg topped Sunshine roll with spicy wasabi-tobikio complementing the hamachi. Mexico meets Tokyo and lives happily ever after with the guacamole and shrimp chip tuna and salmon tartar. If spicy tuna rolls are your thing, you will be one happy fisherwoman.
