Sachi
Upper East Side
Sachi has been one of our lunch spots close to work; they have hearty lunch specials (soup + entree + unlimited hot green tea) from $12 to $14. DJKung met up with me one time and we decided to have lunch here.
Futomaki. These were nice big pieces, good for filling you up.
Tempura lunch special. The picture does not do it justice; this serving is big enough to share for two. It comes with about two pieces of big shrimp and some fried veggies, tempura sauce (foreground) and your choice of white or brown rice. The tempura was nicely breaded and fried.
Toro. I like the little boat with the salmon eggs in it. This was just one order, and the chef divided it into two slices so we could share. We did not like it---too lean and lacking in that buttery mouthfeel you get with the good stuff. Also not as superfresh as we'd like.
