If you like california or NYC sushi you may not be very impressed by Sushi Ya or the other Santiago sushi place. I love sushi and do not bother going to either. There is also a chinese restaurant in Santiago which is now serving sushi, but its barely sushi.
I found this post in the past on DR1 about a sushi place in Santo Domingo, I have not tried it out yet:
Aka can be found over on the corner of Lope de Vega and Max Henriquez Ure?a. Tel. 809 338 0999.
This place is world class, and without any doubt the best sushi available here in the capital and probably the whole country. It compares with or excels some of the best places I have eaten in in NYC, and you will not be sorry for dropping a little extra money on the bill and going a la carte. The head chef, Take Yano, is a fantastic guy and knows just how to guide you through the meal. Let him suggest some unusual offerings, you will be very glad you did.
