Isshin Japanese Sushi Restaurant 一心日本料理

Boasts three student-friendly locations in western Beijing, and a fancier outlet in Jianwai Soho. The sashimi is tasty, as is the remarkable tonkatsu, an enormous plate featuring deep-fried pork cutlet served with lashings of plum sauce, shredded cabbage, rice and miso – all for only RMB 28.
