NOW OPEN: Big Eyes Sushi

In an Easter weekend miracle (it officially opened on Friday), the former Ro-Zu has been reincarnated as Big Eyes Sushi (700 Bainbridge St.). The bones remain intact for the most part, but the priorities seem a tad different. The space has come back to life as an airy, relaxed sushi spot with an emphasis on affordable Japanese delicacies. Dinner specials consisting of a maki roll, miso soup and house salad ranging in price from $3 to $6, and rice bowl entrees top out at $8. Prices for a la carte sashimi (2 pieces per order) hover around the $2 mark, and specialty rolls generally run from $5 to $8. Highlights include the "Yo Sexy!" (California roll with panko and "yam yam sauce," aka kani salad) and the "Sun of the Beach" (shrimp tempura, eel, cucumber, salmon, avocado, spicy mayo, eel sauce, green onion). Prices top out at $18 for a sampler platter.
