There are tons of places to eat raw fish in the city, but Sushi Bistro does an exemplary job of making the meal an event. The tiny and frequently packed Richmond District haunt serves up a wild variety of fresh fish and vegetarian selections with flair. Come with a healthy appetite and try selections from the Chef Special Rolls and "Something Unique" pages of the menu like the Big Island (a riceless roll served inside a thinly sliced cucumber) or the Spicy Girl (avacado, spicy amberjack and macademia nuts). Reservations highly recommended.
