With all those sun-blocking buildings going up between Harborplace and Fells Point, it was only a matter of time before restaurants started opening in the burgeoning Inner Harbor East development. Chiu's Sushi, next to Bin 604, is one of the newest. If the name sounds familiar, it's because the Chiu family has been a staple on the Charm City dining scene and this quaint combination sit-down/carry-out brings a 'hot' dish, sushi, to where the masses are. You can get your sushi in all the traditional manners at Chiu's -- sashimi (fresh sliced raw fish), nigiri (prepared fish on top of flavored rice), temaki (in a cone) and maki (rolled sushi). As for types, the sky's the limit. Chiu's offerings include vegetable, tuna, clam, octopus, squid, egg, crab, shrimp, eel, sea urchin and roe from salmon or flying fish. Tempura and teriyaki dishes -- think chicken, beef, tuna, pork or that Baltimore delicacy, soft-shelled crabs - are available for those who don't favor raw fish. Want to explore the Far East cuisine? Combination plates, matching tempura and teriyaki dishes with complimentary sushi offerings, are the way to go. -- Pete Kerzel
