Nomzilla Sushi et Cetera: This Week's Dining Column

In the

in this week's Nashville Scene, critic Carrington Fox visits

, a new little gem of a sushi spot in the

retail and residential development at Edgehill Avenue and Villa Place.

The redeveloped White Way Cleaners complex has become a destination for food lovers, as Carrington notes: "It has stealthily racked up beloved simple pleasures, from the chicken soup at Taco Mamacita to the hand-tossed pizzas at Bella Napoli; from Juanita Lane's evil deliciousness at Dulce Desserts to any and all of the luscious paint-colored confections at Legato Gelato."

And now there's a new little palace of treats to explore: "The latest enterprise to win my affection at the corner of Edgehill Avenue and Villa Place is Nomzilla Sushi et Cetera, a tiny green-and-orange hole in the wall between Dulce and the seductively appointed Edgehill Cafe."

Like Carrington, I've been impressed by Nomzilla and its savvy and industrious owner, Thet H. Tint. The native of Myanmar appears too young to have already explored the worlds of laboratory research (he has a science degree from Vanderbilt) and nursing (he's also an R.N.) before taking on the food biz.
