Hanatei Japanese Sushi Bar (Marriott Rivercenter Hotel)

101 Bowie San Antonio

(210) 223-1000

Japanese, Asian, Sushi, Smoking Prohibited, Menu

One of the running jokes in National Public Radio's "Prairie Home Companion" is the reticence of the folks of Lake Wobegone. In the taciturn Wobegone World there seem to be no superlatives, only "pretty goods" and "not so bads." There is not, you betcha, a sushi bar in Lake Wobegone. For obvious reasons. But if the Marriott Rivercenter's Hanatei were there, "pretty good" and "not so bad" would be about bang-on. The same terminology goes for San Antonio, a city not necessarily known for its reluctance to express an opinion. Hanatei is the kind of place that seems perfectly competent, without inspiring either superlatives or invectives. - Ron Bechtol

Jingu House

3853 N St. Mary's, Japanese Tea Garden San Antonio

(210) 73-JINGU (FAX); (210)

Japanese, Coffee/Tea

; The bento box is a bomb. The “Japanese” noodles are decently flavored but mushy, the overcooked sesame chicken breast and “Asian” vegetables tasted of tart soy sauce and steam table, and the brown rice was bland — though if you added it to the chicken the whole was almost tolerable. Only the marinated cucumber survived unscathed.

Sushi Zushi (Downtown)

203 S St. Mary's San Antonio

(210) 472-2900

Japanese, Asian, Sushi, Smoking Prohibited, Menu

When you enter Sushi Zushi, assuming it's not a jam-packed Saturday night, you'll be greeted with a chorus of shouts in Japanese from the waitstaff and sushi chefs. As startling as it may seem (and many potential diners took great pains to ignore it), "Welcome!" is their message. (Irasshaimase!, if you prefer.) Yes, with exclamation points. And it's typical of the restaurant's enthusiastic attitude. Get used to it. ;The exuberance spills over into other areas as well. Despite a pleasant, minimalist decor featuring melon-toned walls, a laminate floor intended to emulate wide-board pine, and some black-and-white images of the sushi-making art, SZ doesn't come across as understated shibui. You can't sit at a counter to watch sushi masters assemble your order with deft hand and quiet dignity. In the place of deferential waitresses in traditional garb, there are kids in grey polos and black pants. And numerous items on the almost intimidatingly long menu, feature chipotle mayonnaise. Get used to that, too. - Ron Bechtol
