The initial attraction at Sweet Lime is the $1 sushi –- that’s $1 per piece of nigiri, or $1.50 for three pieces of a roll. Depending on how hungry you are, a full meal from the $1-sushi menu can set you back $13-$15 per person, but that’s still cheap, compared with most sushi places. These prices are available until 7pm most nights, and all night on Mondays.

Lovely though it is, the $1-sushi menu is not the whole story. Delectable as the cheap California rolls and pieces of wamake nigiri (that’s seaweed salad on rice, if you’re wondering) are, the full sushi menu has far more expansive (and only somewhat more expensive) options: a spicy shrimp roll (six pieces for about $6.50), the taste of which had my partner widening his eyes; a veggie tempura roll ($5); some really fantastic vegetarian kyoza (dumplings, with an unusual molasses-y dipping sauce); and a range of entrées (mostly fish, prices around $12). The appetizers are particularly unusual: there’s a pomegranate salsa ($6), for example, and roti with peanut and honey sauce ($5). We haven’t tried them all yet, but everything we have eaten at Sweet Lime has been great, with a tendency towards the tangy and sweet.

There’s also an exciting martini menu, with prices ranging from $6.50-$8 and flavors like Thai Iced Tea and Georgia Peach. I can’t vouch for the martinis myself, having stuck to the $4 plum wine –- the kind that comes in a jar, complete with plum. Yummy.
