Fodor's Expert Review Jewel Bako

$$$$ New York City Japanese

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Arguably the best sushi restaurant in the East Village, this tiny space gleams in a minefield of less expensive, often inferior sushi houses. The futuristic bamboo tunnel of a dining room is gorgeous, but try to nab a place at the sushi bar, and put yourself in the hands of sushi master Mitsunori Isoda.
