"A Nevada City institution, Sushi in the Raw has been feeding locals and tourists since 2002 — chef and owner Kaoru “RU” Suzuki has been on the local culinary scene even earlier, opening his first eatery in 1993. Through the years, Sushi in the Raw has remained a remarkably reliable destination for top-quality sushi, offering a dazzling, thick menu packed with rolls and raw fish, plus rare Japanese standouts like soy-marinated fish heads. Fun gimmicks like spoons filled with uni and ikura, as well as the sneakily boozy cocktails, make any night here memorable." - Flora Tsapovsky
