I would even say best sushi on the westside, but that's because of the value Sushi Karen offers. The quality (fresh and thick cuts) and service (friendly and welcoming) must have been undervalued by the owner(s) of this establishment, because the price falls between fast-food sushi and mediocre sushi restaurants.


It is easy to miss this place as it seems like half the width of a normal shop along this block. Parking is not too difficult even though there is no lot for the restaurant. You can park along Midway Ave. (which intersects Washington) and enjoy a nice stroll to sushi bliss.


Not recommended for large groups as seating is limited, but I highly recommend this for couples. Order a little bit at a time (because the thickness of their cuts may throw you) and order some hot sake to sip along with your date.

When I'm feeling blue or just blah, a stop at Roscoe's always seems to leave me feeling replenished in more than just my belly.


One of the last places where you can get a *REAL* waffle and not one of those Belgian things. I recommend including one of these treats to whatever you order. Their batter is unlike any other I've tried with hints of pumpkin spices.


Parking can be a little difficult on Sunday mornings, but the food is well worth such simple difficulties.

I went with a group of friends from work, and had a very nice meal. The service was very nice and the ambiance was bright and open.
