Cherin is my favorite sushi place in town. Yes, Nobu is good, but for the price I pay for one piece of sushi at Nobu, I can get an entire meal at Cherin. Ok, I'm exaggerating a bit, but you get what I mean. It's a relaxed place with wonderful sashimi & sushi. No reservation required unless you're w/a large group. I go there for their white tuna & salmon skin hand rolls--my personal favorites. The pieces are not big. It's sushi the way it was meant to be--a delicacy to be savored, not wolfed down like a pizza slice. I like that they do not load their sushi up w/rice. If I wanted rice I would've ordered rice. ...and just for the record, I'm a real patron of this restaurant, and am in no way related to the owner(s).
Pros: Good sushi at a value, comfortable setting, unpretentious
Cons: Minimal decor, Restaurant is a bit hidden
