If choosing sushi and sashimi seems overwhelming, the good set menus at Sushi-tei can sort you out with eight to 12 pieces of artfully prepared fatty tuna, salmon, egg, shrimp, sea urchin, eel and squid. The bar and tables are equally popular with solo diners and groups, lingering over beers and sake. Ask for an English menu.
