cherish my cherin. sushi.

mmm! sushi.

i recently discovered a fabulous sushi restaurant in the east village. cherin sushi. reasons it is so fabulous: aaahmazing & creative sushi rolls and BYOB.

*

among the traditional rolls and sashimi, cherin gets creative with fish combo's. options with mangos and red caviar are all over the menu selections. the marriage of fish & fruit is done so well here, you leave craving their house specialty rolls; the john roll (sliced mango atop spicy, crunchy salmon) and trisha roll (tune & yellowtail on top of avocado & crunch) are my favorites.

everything is super fresh. the rice is not too overbearing and cooked to perfection. and cherin scores extra points for simple, appreciated presentation.

decor is simple, clean, understated, but classier than your typical sushi joint. slightly dim inside and always packed with east village locals who are in the know. the little twinkly lights outside on the door & railing make it easy to spot.

best of all...cherin is totally affordable. and with the BYOB, you can bring along your fav sauvingnon blanc. perfection.
