Alpha Global Sushi & Bar

We came to this Japanese restaurant last month on a friend’s recommendation – supposedly having good creative rolls and short ribs!
The restaurant is located at the corner of Helmcken St. and Richards St., so it’s not in the middle of a busy intersection, even on a weekend. The food was great with moderate pricing. On their menu you can see from a glance that many of their dishes are “originals”, or I guess you can call it “chef’s specials”, though you can still get a regular California roll or Udon like any other Japanese restaurants.
We tried many of their speciality rolls as well as the Ebi Mayo and the ribs, which packed a lot of taste! Try the restaurant some time!
