Ashley’s Sushi Rules
🍣 Lunch specials are the best-kept secret on most sushi menus.
🍣 Sit at the sushi bar whenever possible.
🍣 If it’s empty at 7 PM on a Friday, keep driving.
🍣 Trust the chef at least once.
🍣 Order one thing you've never tried before.
🍣 The best sushi experience isn't always the fanciest one. Fancy is fun, but hidden gems can be too.
