Internet users give Oh! Raku top ratings for sushi, sashimi, and maki. Having sampled the ultra-fresh spicy salmon and yellowtail/scallion maki, we agree. The best way to sample the rolled maki selections is the lunch special—quite affordable by midtown standards—with your choice of maki, salad with lovely ginger dressing, and miso soup. There are also teriyaki, tempura and noodle dishes. When eating communally, try the Super Love Boat (for 2-4 persons). Milky sake is complex—can you name all 17 of the flavors it evokes?
