Friends of Food
Friends of Food will rendezvous at Banzai Sushi at 6411 Riverside Blvd, 95831. What a thrill it was to discover this gem! The restaurant is squeaky-clean with a modern décor but the best feature is the fresh and delicious cuisine. The prices are moderate; a generously sized meal starts at around $12. From downtown, take I-5 south to the 43rd Street exit. Turn right onto 43rd (which turns into Riverside) and look for the strip mall on the north-east corner of Riverside and Florin Road. Banzai is tucked into the mall just to the left of the (now vacant) Nugget Market. Look for Lesley James with a copy of the Sacramensan on the table. Call Lesley a day in advance, if you can: (916) 761-0825.
