Sushi Tango

If you’ve never felt safe going to one of those imposing stand-alone sushi shops downtown, here’s a place to finally try it with the training wheels of a mall surrounding you. Despite its location on Calhoun Square’s second floor, the Bermuda Triangle of Hennepin & Lake, Sushi Tango is constantly full of the kind of Uptown crowd who all look like they work in graphic design. It’s the sushi spot for the MTV generation, from the grinning manga mascot to the olive-toned interior geometry that cries out “death to boring 90-degree angles!” Experienced eaters head straight for the maki. Beginners try the sushi tango, which gets you 10 types of nigiri plus cucumber and tuna rolls. There’s a similar platter of sashimi, but you only get five varieties. The salmon and halibut were especially tasty. And be not afraid of the octopus, mild in both taste and texture. Sushi Tango, (612) 822-7787
