Don't let the location's burger joint retro-fit space fool you. The sushi is quite good. I recently went there with some high-falootin' San Fransisco asian movie producers and I thought that they would be critical of the place. They were. They critically-acclaimed it. They talked about the food the rest of the night.

This is like an outdoor art museum extension to our Riverwalk. I recommend taking a stroll there early to mid-morning and then finding a breakfast nook somewhere along the way. I used to train for the Rock and Roll marathon in this area and I always loved the eye candy that was all over the place.
