The sushi at Snow Pea is good! The staff is great, very informative about their selections. It's a little hidden off 38th but it's worth the trip!!

• Pros: quiet, enjoyable setting, service
• Cons: difficult to find at first.

Great for Sushi

People seem to get disappointed by this place because they hear great reviews, go there, and then order dumplings or some such dish. Well, that's just simply not the way to do it.

I count Snow Pea as one of my favorite restaurants because it has the best sushi I've ever had. If you're not a sushi eater, there's really no point in going because the food itself is pretty mediocre (although I am a fan of their sesame chicken).

It's not just the sushi for me though. I've found that when I've been there (quite frequently, with my family) the service has been excellent. The food comes out fast, the sushi is always beautifully presented, and the staff is friendly and adorable. I'm also a fan of their décor. I like that it's mostly asian themed but with a few cherub statues hanging around here and there. It doesn't make any sense, but it's cute.

Finally it's all at a good price. My family and I can stuff ourselves full of sushi (which requires a lot of it) and not feel guilty about spending too much on some raw fish. It's really worth trying if you take sushi seriously. (And if you do, I recommend the unagi/eel nigiri, the dragon roll, or the spider roll)

• Pros: Good Service, Fantastically Good Sushi
• Cons: Average to Below Average Dishes
