St. Louis’ best sushi can be found in an unexpected spot: right in the middle of the city’s Italian neighborhood. Sado (5201 Shaw Avenue, 314-390-2883) has been dazzling diners since it opened in what used to be Giovanni’s on the Hill earlier this year.
Owned by acclaimed chef Nick Bognar, Sado serves world-class sushi and other Japanese cuisine. The RFT’s Dining Critic Cheryl Baehr loved everything about the spot but paid special attention to the chawanmushi, a custard flavored with dashi and topped with a generous amount of seafood, calling it “a contender for the best bite I’ve eaten all year.”
