"Another option for a chill sushi hour is Village Sushi on the Ave. For decades, this place was in a little Craftsman house around the corner on 12th NE, but it moved into the hallowed old Last Exit space in 2016 — and retained every speck of cozy ambiance, including the sweet, very attentive service. The scallop (hotate) nigiri is your first stop in the Village, followed by the Fire on the Mountain roll (tempura shrimp and avocado, topped with spicy tuna, tobiko, fiery mayo, green onions, and housemade hot sauce). It’s spicy! Or you can sit at the counter and have the chef pick ‘em out for you. Village Sushi is more casual than the downtown destination spots for sure, but it’s serving super fresh fish no less correctly and beautifully." - Harry Cheadle
