Review:

Located in a beautiful old building in the historical and predominantly Spanish and Portuguese community of Ironbound, Manu's Sushi Lounge brings something new to the dining scene. Introducing Italian dishes and tapas to the predominantly sushi and sashimi menu is risky, but the patrons are absolutely enthralled. The two-level dining room is beautiful, elegant, and usually packed, especially on nights with live music.

There are now even a few sidewalk tables. If you are curious about what they call the “Mediterranean-sushi fusion,” you might want to try Portuguese chorizo soaked in sake served with grilled char. To try “fusing,” you get sushi or sashimi and then order something Mediterranean from the tapas menu.
