Maneki has been in its current location since the 1940s and although it's no longer a hidden gem that caters to in-the-know locals and chefs from other Japanese restaurants in the area, the food isn't any less authentic. The sushi is very good, but just as popular are the small plates meant to lay a foundation for lots of sake consumption. Rice-paper lamps and screens add a little bit of old Japan to the otherwise uninspiring space. Larger parties can reserve a tatami room. This place is a mob scene on weekends -- don't even think about coming here without a reservation.
