Phin

Phin Sushi and Steak's chefs prepare classical maki, sushi, and sashimi with fresh salmon, individually whittled grains of rice, and other familiar ingredients; but also deviate from the norm by incorporating asparagus, dried gourd shavings, and cheddar and monterey jack cheeses into some dishes. Japanese-style entrees include small flourishes that help to distinguish them, such as teriyaki dishes with organic chicken and house-made sauce.

A low-slung sushi bar divides the lounge and dining areas, which share up-tempo music and a modern aesthetic despite their drastically different color schemes. The lounge boasts cool grays and fluorescent backlighting, and the dining section's vibrant red walls and lit sconces create a warmer feel throughout.
