I can vouch for this place. The Sig-O and I have been there several times. The sushi is great and the people watching alone is worth the trip. Now, I kindly present this deal from the Cut and Paste via Travelzoo Division:

Axiom Sushi Lounge (formerly Fin Sushi Lounge) was opened six months ago by owners of the popular Sushi Axiom restaurants, which earn an "extraordinary to perfection" (26) rating on Zagat for "creative, well-crafted" rolls.

Begin with a salad each -- choose from the spring mix salad with field greens, cherry tomatoes and honey ginger dressing, or sunomo salad with cucumbers, shrimp, octopus, crab and vinegar soy dressing.

Then, select any three signature rolls or two entrees, such as:

• Hidden Dragon, a roll recommended by the Dallas Observer with crawfish, scallions, jalapenos, cream cheese, avocado and sriracha chili

• Hamachi Heaven with spicy crab meat, tempura fried tiger shrimp, yellow tail, cherry tomatoes and ponzu sauce

• Lobster roll with avocado, cucumber, lobster, masago, scallions, radish sprouts, spicy mayo and sweet soy sauce
