I've become a fan of Zen 8. It used to be crap, but ever since they moved into a new location, the quality has been improving. I also know the owner there (he tries to speak Japanese to me, haha) and they carve up their fish that arrive in big crates from Japan in front of the customers, it's rather cool.
He said to me that if there's something you don't see on the menu, he will order it right away from the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo. I've seen him do it, too. It might cost a bit more, but that's serivce! If I want otoro (fatty tuna belly... terrific stuff), I can order it from him!
I will also second Towa sushi, as well. Great place, great food, big portions. It's more of an American-fusion sushi place, but it's very creative and very tasty.
