In Short
Despite its strip mall location, Waraji screams minimalist warehouse chic--an open ceiling with exposed vents and pipes, shiny black furniture, a granite sushi bar and a row of simple tatami rooms. Presentation is the forte of Waraji's fresh, reasonably priced sushi--from intricate nori rolls to elaborate ginger garnishes to the imported Asian dishware.
