- You think the Miyake in PA is bad, don't even think of going to the one in

-
- => Fuki Sushi in Palo Alto (not a sushi-ya).
-
- Have to agree with you on your assesments.
-
- => Does anybody know of a good sushi joint?
-
- Ikenohana in Cupertino used to be pretty good, but it's been so long I
- can't recommend it on recent experience. Not a sushi-ya, as you're
- looking for tho'. You might try Tomi Sushi next to Yaohan at
- Moorpark and Saratoga Ave in Santa Clara. Usually pretty good and
- fresh. Again, this is not a sushi-ya as you would find in Japan.

-
- Izumiya in SF J-town serves okonomiyaki, but I haven't tried it. Not one
- of the things I miss from Japan. Yaohan in Santa Clara has the box mixes
- if you're into those things. They also have reasonably fresh fish so if
- you give up looking for "authentic" sushi, you can always make your own.
-
- Good Luck!!!
