The place: Yume Sushi, 1537 Main St., Sarasota, (941) 363-0604

The goods: Sushi and the chefs who make it are the story here, although other traditional Japanese dishes are available.

The drill: The Bento Box special is a fine value at $11.95. The special comes with four pieces of old reliable California roll, a pair of fried pork and veggie dumplings, rice, starters of miso soup and a ginger-dressed salad plus one choice from a list of five teriyaki or tempura items, one sushi or one sashimi option. Go for the sashimi, which gets you four pieces of fabulously fresh naked fish, two of tuna and two of salmon.
