Unless the fish is too fishy or the rolls fall apart when you try to pick them up, it's hard to have bad sushi. But as hard as it is to have bad sushi, it's that much harder to serve sushi that really stands out - especially in St. Louis - where there are more sushi places than Madonna has comebacks.

But one place that does stand out is Tani Sushi Bistro in Clayton. Eric and Jenny Heckman, the owners of the restaurant, designed both the lounge-like atmosphere and the diverse menu themselves, and that personal touch is pretty obvious if you decide to stop by. The roll they're the most well-known for is the Oh My God, which is shrimp tempura, crab, shrimp, avocado, spicy sauce and eel sauce. Oh, and did I mention that it comes out on fire? Not only was the presentation pretty sweet, but that roll was so good that Chris and I ordered a few other rolls to take back to ToastedRav.

Whether you want to experience raw fish at its finest or simply have a cocktail in a posh setting, this is the perfect place to go.
