el camino real in santa clara and sunnyvale is jampacked with sushi restaurants, both of the japanese variety and the korean. cherry sushi appeared on the scene in the latter part of 2005, as a korean sushi joint that features live jazz at night. that's a classy combination, although it has been around ever since yoshi's opened its oakland doors and has been revived by cupertino's boas on stevens creek boulevard. sure, the jazz and asian cuisine combo is not new, but i still believe this sushi bar that replaced the old bakers' square can hold its own thanks to its well-prepared renditions of japanese restaurant classics, its ultra-stylish dcor, and attentive service.
during the silicon valley mad lunchrush, cherry serves some nice bento box style lunch combos, which arrive on a beautiful, square plate that beats the pants off of any cliched "bento" box.
like many other korean sushi restaurants in this era, cherry offers some contemporised sushi rolls, ones made with cucumber or fish in place of rice or seaweed as well as those all-too-popular deep-fried rolls. those dishes look great, and i shall try to try them soon.
PROS: well-prepared renditions of japanese restaurant classics
CONS: tough competition in the neighbourhood
