Best of Philly 2007: Sushi
Zento Contemporary
|
Precisely cut fish not flashy, splashy sauce is the hallmark at Zento, from former Morimoto sushi chef Gunawan Wibisono. The three-seat sushi bars admirable restraint with the ubiquitous spicy mayonnaise allows the flavors of the seafood to dominate in its sushi rolls or squares. The elegantly rectangular zento square sushi is a well-balanced combination of Philly sushi favorites eel and avocado inside, with lightly sweet-and-spicy tuna on top. A bonus: The small BYOB dining room is usually relaxing and subdued a pleasant surprise in Old City without being artificially Zen-like.
