Few know the name of the tiny, hole-in-the-wall sushi dive at Church and 15th Streets, commonly referred to as "No Name" or "Brown Bag."

The absence of any visible advertisement makes Yokoso Nippon, its real name, which can only be seen on the menu, easy to miss. Through word-of-mouth, however, people have been finding their way to the run-down-looking location, distinguishable by a blank sign and a couple of dinky old chairs lined up out front. While this place has no sign, phone or even a beverage menu, it is well known for its cheap prices and comfortable setting. And cheap sushi and cheap drinks are a combination you just can't go wrong with.

Once inside, the crowd of Geishas painted on the wall highlights its modest décor, and the presence of brown bags on the tables makes for a more casual dining experience. Since Yokoso Nippon doesn’t offer beverages other than tea and water, customers are allowed to bring in any outside drink of their choice, as long as it's tucked into a brown bag.

Menu prices range from about $4.50 to $6.50 per roll or sushi combination. Typically, a sushi tray of about eight to 10 nigiri pieces runs at around $15. At Yokoso Nippon, you can order five nigiri pieces and two hosomaki rolls at 16 pieces per roll for the same price, which is enough food for two people.

The sushi isn’t the best around, the presentation of the futomaki rolls is a little sloppy, which makes it harder to eat, and the fish occasionally lacks the smooth texture that is a sign of freshness. But it just goes to show you get what you pay for.

Yokoso Nippon’s selection is not accommodating to vegetarians or octopus-lovers. While octopus is offered on the menu, they almost never have it, and the vegetarian menu lacks pizzazz compared to other restaurants. Unlike the more tasteful variety of three-ingredient vegetarian rolls, Yokoso Nippon’s rolls contain only one vegetable, which can be a little bland when combined with just rice and seaweed.

The restaurant seats about 20 to 25 people, so it’s the perfect place for an intimate, relaxing meal. Just don’t go feeling too hungry because you can expect a 10- to 15-minute wait on a busy night. But if you’re low on cash or just not in the mood to pay for an overpriced beer like you would at a restaurant with a liquor license, then it’s nice to know the folks at Yokoso Nippon will let you bring your own drinks. They even provide the bottle opener. Now that’s hospitality.
