With spare lines set in an avant-garde loft setting, Shima would be the postmodern beatnik if sushi restaurants had personality types. The food is hardly traditional either—sushi made with brown rice has garnered a particularly faithful following. The kitchen also makes its own tofu, which reduces carbon footprint, thank you very much. Without a discernible sign, the place coyly fails to announce itself. Dining here is a quiet affair—Zen even—but if more peace and quiet are what you’re after, request a table on the mezzanine level.
