STATE STREET. This popular Japanese restaurant accommodates folks seeking both the dramatic and the understated. The first group clamors around hibachi grills, watching animated chefs chop and saute, while the second opts for a parade of delicate sushi rolls, fashioned of seasoned rice, crisp vegetables, and sweet, mild seafood. If that's not enough, tempura dishes can also be enjoyed among the clean-lined furnishings. Good for singles, groups, or families.
