- Sushi Nabe (Hixson Pike / Coolidge Park area) - the most-recommended
spot; the first original Japanese restaurant in Chattanooga (since 1994)
(sushinaberestaurant.com).
Quality fish, good rolls, and a fair price. The community default answer.

- Totto Sushi & Grill (Northshore) - solid sushi and Japanese menu with
a good lunch special; a reliable weekday pick.

- Sakura Japanese Steakhouse (Brainerd) - dependable rolls and hibachi;
good for groups and birthdays. sakurasteakhouse.com
- Lunch specials - most spots do a combo lunch; it's the best value.
- Fresh fish - ask what's in that day; quality varies place to place.
- Hibachi vs. sushi - separate rooms at some spots; hibachi is the
birthday-kid default.
