Joshua Nguyen: Must haves: baked mussels, spicy scallop roll. Not popular with the "zomg California roll is great sushi" crowd but worth trying: uni and amaebi - with the heads (not on the menu).
Peter Shanley: Go to Sushi Zone early in the night, get the Hawaiin #1 & #2 (mango/macadamia and avocado/macadamia) and the Spicy Hamachi (fresh jalapeno, lime zest) and start with the mussels. KABOOM
Mandy Marks: Get there before it opens- and order the baked mussels and spicy hamachi. Worth the wait.
