I've driven by a million times, but have never even thought about going in. Is it really that good? If I go, are there any "don't miss" specials to try?

He is very proud of his sushi, his three fish suppliers, and his independence in running his own restaurant. See if he'll offer you a complimentary shot of his infused sake - might be his watermelon or margarita flavors. His aji sashimi is one of his specialties. It was a pleasant surprise to see Zushi Puzzle in the new Zagat. Mon Oct 24 14:20:19 -0700 2005 195000 0 sushi maven 1 195173 Yes, it is excellent, despite the name. Great, now it is going to be even busier. Mon Oct 24 20:04:28 -0700 2005 195000 0 MikeW 2 195239 I ended up going to Zushi Puzzle earlier tonight. It was well past 8 pm on a Monday night, so the place was not even half full, but the sushi bar was packed. The sushi was excellent, as always. Tue Oct 25 03:31:04 -0700 2005 195173 0 sushi maven
