Try the sushi A option for an array of tuna, salmon, red snapper, shrimp, mackerel, egg omelet, and a cucumber roll ($14.95), a hunger-disappearer that would sate even a made-up person like Gatsby or Woodrow Wilson.

The twin chef/owners of Kyoto, Carlo and Melvyn, might call to mind Carlos and Melvin, the super-powered twins featured in the Saturday morning children’s cartoon, The Wonder Friends. While derided by hardcore comic-book fans, each week the twin teens would use their powers to fight alongside more established heroes. Here are some of their slightly underwhelming powers:
- Saying their magic phrase, “Don’t litter,” allowed them to quickly grow beards.
- Their telepathic bond allowed them to read each other’s minds, though they had strict rules against doing so.
- Carlos’s tears allowed Melvin to turn into steam.
- At age 16, they had the amazing power to never use curse words or think about girls.
- While not technically a superpower, their vaudeville act was pretty good.
