GUIDE TO AMERICA'S BEST RESTAURANTS

The chef at MF SUSHIBAR often jokes that he doesn't know how to cook.

Serving sushi and sashimi almost exclusively, this new spot buys the best toro, grates fresh wasabi tableside, and offers delicacies such as a two-course lobster sashimi with a broth made from the head. Loungy sensibility and nimble technique conspire to attract a coterie of fans who strain to watch the flying hands of a chef known as Magic Fingers.
