Sansai Japanese Grill

SanSai makes a great case for the introduction of Japanese fast food. This outlet of an incipient chain (there are four other SanSai operations, all in Southern California) hones the execution of deliciously fresh maki, sashimi and teriyaki plates to the razor's edge of a sushi knife -- and manages to pull it all off in under ten minutes per order. One of the healthiest, truly fast meals to be had, and the sashimi tuna salad, served on a bed of baby greens and frisée with rice and miso soup, is an excellent bargain.
