The Place
Bringing to light the harmonious appeal of Japanese sushi and Latin ceviche, along with a shared taste for brisk, fragrant drinks, Sushi Samba offers a meeting of cultures that is bright, simple and energetic. Inside the colorful geometric exterior, a full crowd of downtown trendies, international fashion types and unassuming professionals gather in fuzzy red booths and around the central sushi bar.

The Food
The tantalizing selection of sushi and even finer marinated ceviche includes basics like yellowtail, salmon and fresh crab, and a variety of special rolls. Drink selections encompass over 34 sakes (most by the bottle) and Latin cocktails like the mojito, periodista and special "sambatini," which changes each night according to the fresh fruit and garnishes in the house.
