Iron Chef Ming

We have a hidden treasure in Fairfax, VA (aka funfax) called Sakura.  Sakura is a chain restaurant in a strip mall (of course) with hibachi on one side and sushi on the other.  Now I normally do not frequent chain restaurants but the sushi side is independently run so that's my disclaimer.  What makes Sakura so good is its head sushi chef, Ming.  I call him Iron Chef Ming because he constantly comes up with new creations and is very innovative.  In fact celebrity chef Emeril was known to frequent Sakura when he was filming his show Emeril Green on the Planet Green Network in the Fairfax Whole Foods.  So next time you happen to be in Fairfax, VA and crave some good sushi be sure to swing by Sakura.  I'll post pictures of Ming's creation and update with new pictures as I get them.
