B-Side Design District

B-Side is a Design District sushi spot from the team behind Maty’s, and it’s in the space where its former sister restaurant, Itamae, used to be. There are a couple menu items left over from Itamae (like the incredible scallop and octopus bañaditos), but B-Side is less a special occasion spot, and more of a casual place to grab sushi. This is not subtle sushi either. The rolls are packed with lots of sauces and ingredients—but it works beautifully and never tastes overwhelming. There are delicious cooked small plates like conch fritters and chicken karaage too. It’s one of the Design District’s only walk-in options, so keep it in mind next time you want very good sushi without a reservation.
