The three-day-old Sakana Sushi Caf� (1526 Sansom St., 215-564-0526) has taken over the elevated restaurant space that last housed Kami. (The slept-on Sansom Kabob House is right below.) Running the teeny 20-seater is husband-and-wife team John Sen (you may know him from Genji) and Emellia Juniarti, who hope to build the place up as a flexible destination for private parties � that's why they're closing at 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday. (Fridays and Saturdays, they're open till 9; closed Sunday.)

The couple has instituted a sweet little deal to kickstart business � 15 percent of all orders, eat in and takeout, until September 30.

Full menu after the jump. Large sushi/sashimi a la carte list, with not-so-common selections like giant clam, uni and scallop; specialty rolls include the Atlantis (salmon, salmon skin, salmon roe) and the Triplet Tuna (tuna, albacore and super white with scallion).
