If they built a sushi bar on the space station from 2001: A Space Odyssey and Austin Powers stopped by with Derek Flint and James Bond, this is what it would look like. The motif is all white and translucent plastic, with colored lights and flat screen monitors all over. When you sit on the cushions in the lounge area, they light up. There are 16 possible light settings in the private cubicles (parties of six only). The wait staff is dressed in plain gray t-shirts. Techno and lounge music play softly. Even the bathroom cubicles are futuristic, in the sense that they use airline fixtures in a cramped space. The sushi bar has a conveyor belt running around the edge, with little clear plastic cups of sushi traveling around. Or you can get it the traditional way, at a table, served by a waiter. An assortment of sashimi for four, but probably won't be enough, which is good because then you can order more things from the lengthy menu.

Don't sit in the "pods" at pod. The ambient color changes can really throw off your sense of food perception. Sit in the main dining room with normal...

Went for UCity Dining Days, good portion and the food wasn't bad. It's a trendy ultra modern spot, but not a sushi restaurant by any means. more
