The Best Sushi Near Number 31, by the Record

Eight seats around a counter is all there is at this tiny omakase sushi restaurant in Smithfield, so if your first booking attempt fails, try again. The menu leans heavily on Irish seafood worked into nigiri, course after course of it, and the pace is kept brisk enough that dinner feels like a pleasure rather than a commitment. Sake and Japanese spirits round out the drinks list.
