Thank yo, Nagoyankee. I have never liked American Japanese restaurants that combine sushi with heartier menus. I learned early on that if the place has a hibachi, its not the best for sushi. But even that is more bearable than the person who walks up to the sushi bar in perfume you could smell from across the room - a definite hazard in Dallas.
