There's so many restaurants on West Broadway, and so many Sushi joints in particular, it's hard for the uninitiated to know where to start. For those of us going simply on looks, Sai Z presents a swanky façade that delivers where it counts. A pleasant wood-beamed interior and a jazzish piano player offset the candle-lit ambiance. The food is presented in similarly meticulous manner (we had the yam tempura appetizer, which came out looking like jenga puzzle). The maki and sashimi were supple and tasty and for a price that defies everything about the place: one maki combo for $8 turned out to be a long platter of food that would comfortably fill anyone. An "A" for Sai Z. - daenalus
