Sushi Mon (translated, it means Sushi Gate) is located around the corner from the 3rd St. Promenade. This sleek, modern sushi fusion restaurant offers AYCE and lists over 70 different kinds of rolls, and traditional nigiri sushi. There's an interesting variety of a-la-carte Japanese small plates like edamame, pot stickers, and spring rolls. The restaurant also offers advice on how to eat sushi. Because sushi is finger food, they say, it should be eaten with your fingers--not with chopsticks, which can break the rice.
