Perfectly Al dente is such the weird way to describe the udon noodles, but I really cannot think of other words.<\/p>\n<p>For cheap sushi, I will recommend Fujiya in downtown; but for a quick and delicious Japanese lunch treat, Urban Sushi will not disappoint you.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_220\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-220\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/urban-sushi-sashimi-salad.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-220\" title=\"Urban Sushi - Sashimi Avocado Salad\" src=\"http:\/\/pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/urban-sushi-sashimi-salad.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/urban-sushi-sashimi-salad.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/urban-sushi-sashimi-salad-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-220\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sashimi Avocado Salad - Urban Sushi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Urban Sushi This petite spot is hidden in a basement in the middle of the financial district.
