Although this may be extremely difficult -- maybe even impossible-- to believe, Origami is easily the best sushi I've had in this country. And I've eaten at a LOT of sushi places, both in and out of the US. I can't speak to what the experience at a table is like, but why sit at a table if you are going to a sushi restaurant anyway? Sit at the sushi bar. The sushi chef is phenomenal; his knife skills and personality together make for an enjoyable evening. But, more importantly, the sushi is fantastic. It's unbelievably fresh and is cut exactly right. The rice is incredible, with just the right amount of stickiness and taste to compliment any fish perfectly. I always get nigiri and my wife gets sashimi; both were terrific. And the rice at Origami was so good that my wife even ate several pieces of nigiri. Every piece of fish that we got (we tried just about every kind available) was perfect. The soft shell crab was the biggest one I've ever gotten, and it was delicious in the hand roll I got. Overall, Origami is absolutely worth a try. Even if you don't love it as much as we did, you'd have to be crazy not to at least like it!
Pros: Best sushi in the US
