    The food at shumi is excellent-my favorites is the beef galbi, Otoro pizza and the yellowtail with ponzu. All the sushi is delicious and fresh and my kids love the katsu curry.

    Outstanding in every way. The food was imaginative, the classical preparations were spot on, and the fish was impeccably fresh. Highly recommended.
