Fugakyu

Entering FuGaKyu (“house of exquisite elegance”) is like walking into the Japanese pavilion at the World's Fair; it doesn't exactly feel authentic, but it's cool nonetheless. The first floor of the impeccably decorated two-story space is composed of a slick black and red bar, a large sushi bar, complete with conveyor-belt-delivered condiments, and a number of private, bamboo-screened booths (you should call ahead to reserve one); the airy upper floor offers a more conventional, cozy table layout. The enormous menu is long on just about everything, including pages and pages of sushi options that may easily confuse the uninitiated (individual pieces $1.50-$3.75, mixed platters $17-$21), beyond sushi there are noodle dishes ($13) and specialties of the house ($15-$20). Sample the house special chocolate wrap -- a banana wrapped with a chocolate omelette and batter fried. Note the remarkably long hours; this is surely your best bet for sushi in Brookline at one o'clock in the morning.
