Tanoshii Sushi (Andersonville)
BYOB sushi-bar energy with chef-led pacing and signature starter bites.
Notable Picks
A BYOB Andersonville sushi counter where chef-driven rolls and omakase-style pacing are the main draw, not a big dining-room production. Come with a plan—sit at the bar, let the chef guide the sequence, and treat the signature starter bites as part of the experience, not filler.
Must-Try Dishes:
Sushi Mike’s “Fish & Chips” (spicy tuna salsa chip), Chef’s choice omakase / tasting progression, Tuna truffle-style specials (ask what’s on)
What makes it special: BYOB sushi-bar energy with chef-led pacing and signature starter bites.
8.3
A big-menu Cantonese seafood room that’s built for group ordering—whole fish, shellfish, and sizzling plates that land best when you commit to a shared-table spread. The cooking leans traditional and volume-ready, so the win is picking a few house specialties and letting the Lazy Susan do the work.
Must-Try Dishes:
Salt-and-pepper shrimp, Whole crab (market price), Steamed whole fish with ginger-scallion
What makes it special: Classic Cantonese seafood done for big-table, share-everything ordering.

Tala House
7.9
A polished, reservation-friendly dining room where seafood shows up in modern, composed plates and a cocktail-paced rhythm. It’s best when you order in waves—one seafood-forward starter, one focused main—so the meal stays balanced instead of scattered.
Must-Try Dishes:
Seafood-focused starter (seasonal), Fish main (seasonal), Cocktail pairing
What makes it special: Seafood-leaning modern American plates with a cocktail-first pace.
An Irish gastropub where the seafood move is the pub-classic fried fish—crisp batter, proper sides, and the kind of comfort that pairs naturally with a pint. It’s not a seafood temple, but it earns a spot for consistent fish-and-chips execution in a neighborhood-ready room.
Must-Try Dishes:
Fish and chips, Grilled Scottish salmon, Oysters (when offered)
What makes it special: Pub seafood staples—especially fish and chips—done reliably.
7.6
A value-tilted Uptown sushi stop that wins on quick, affordable rolls and a menu designed for repeat takeout orders. Treat it as a ‘pick your favorites’ spot—two simple rolls plus one snacky side—rather than a destination for pristine nigiri.
Must-Try Dishes:
Godzilla roll, Miami roll, Seaweed salad
What makes it special: Budget-friendly rolls that make sushi nights easy and casual.
7.5
A conveyor-belt sushi format in Uptown that’s best for variety seekers who want to sample lots of small plates without overthinking the menu. Go at off-peak times, focus on the classics coming through the rotation, and use one or two made-to-order items to round out the meal.
Must-Try Dishes:
Salmon nigiri, Spicy tuna roll, Seared salmon belly (when available)
What makes it special: Conveyor-belt format that makes variety-driven sushi nights easy.
7.5
A small, newer counter-style option near the Lawrence/Clark corridor for straightforward tacos, burritos, and quick takeout. Treat it like a practical neighborhood add-on—order one main, one salsa-forward side, and keep it moving.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tacos (house style), Burrito (house style), Chips and salsa
What makes it special: A no-frills Uptown counter for fast tacos and burritos.
