Ozora Sushi, Pleasanton

Ozora Sushi & Steak exists at the intersection of dining and design. In that first camp is a full menu of Japanese cuisine, including 60 sushi rolls. In the latter camp is an attention to plating that elevates rolls and nigiri to edible works of art. Read on to see what's in store for visitors.

• The Chuck Norris Roll: Deep-fried shrimp and avocado inside salmon and spicy snow crab creates a roll that roundhouse-kicks every other roll in the face.
• Teppanyaki Filet Mignon: Tender slices of beef pair with mixed veggies and fried rice that a chef cooks on a flaming table-side grill.
• Vegetable Udon: Forego meat altogether for a flavorful soup chock full of thick noodles and seasonal vegetables.
