Roy's Fish and Sushi Market is a tiny fishmonger with a back-counter sushi operation turning out nigiri, sashimi, and chirashi from an impressive raw selection. It’s more of a casual, counter-sharing date than a linger-over-dessert spot, but the quality-to-price ratio on the sushi platters makes it a strategic move for couples who prioritize fish over atmosphere.
Must-Try Dishes: Deluxe Chirashi Bowl, Nigiri Combo Platter, Salmon Sashimi Set
