Arigato Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar, Rochester

For more than a quarter century, Arigato Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar has sated appetites with authentic Japanese cuisine, from sautéed meats and veggies sizzling on the hibachi grill to fresh cuts of sushi snuggled in sheets of seaweed. Warm bowls of onion soup accompany entrees such as thick-cut sirloin steak and Alaskan salmon, and cool pockets of rice pad the sweet and tart flavors of specialty sushi such as the classic california roll, so named for its place of origin amid the Pacific Ocean's briny waves of surfable soy sauce.
