Russian-Japanese fusion. Who knew?

Monday, July 10, 2006
Riviera Sushi and Grill is sort of like a tradition Russian restaurant like the kind that you'd usually find on Brighton Beach - there's only one different: this one is also Japanese. What exactly does that mean? I'm not sure, except to say that there's a sushi bar and the sushi is pretty good (the fish is, the sushi is a little messier than you'd find at, say, Nobu). But the food is served in tradition Russian style with lots and lots of courses and the platters are displayed on pedestals in the center and everyone around the table is served more and more and more. The food was good - not amazing - but the experience was very enjoyable. Russian VH1 music videos were blasting on the speakers and TVs all around including in the bathroom (a TV to view by the toilet). Very interesting place.
