Better get here early -- this restaurant's seven tables fill up fast, and with good reason. Arguably the best sushi bar in the state, Banzai has something for the nigiri neophyte as well as the more experienced sushi connoisseur. All the makis (rolls) are fantastic -- standouts include the spicy tuna and salmon rolls, and the soft- shell crab roll is delicious and so fresh, you'd think it just crawled out of the Gulf. Teriyaki and tempura lovers will be satisfied here as well -- the authentic Japanese menu is filled with delicious dishes and appetizers (try the gyoza -- steamed dumplings -- for starters, it's fantastic). Finish off with a bowl of green tea ice cream or a batter-fried banana.
