Megumi Sushi

Tucked away from the glaring lights of busier streets, this neighborhood Japanese restaurant invites diners into a dimly lit space, where shadows lend an intimate feel. Black plastic covers on the chairs contrast with the gentle backdrop of soothing music, aiming to create a laid-back dining ambiance. The menu promises a variety of Japanese-inspired dishes, though there have been whispers of non-traditional influences lurking beneath the surface. Dishes like delicately sweet eel are offered, while other options such as sushi occasionally struggle to deliver on flavor. Service at times can be unpredictable—from perfectly timed offerings to curious peculiarities, such as courses appearing simultaneously much to the surprise of diners. A notable inconsistency exists front-of-house, with the wine list not always aligning with availability, leaving diners to navigate a less-than-premium selection. Despite occasional lapses, the restaurant remains a curious experience for those exploring the subtler side of local Japanese fare.
