Thyme Japanese Cuisine in North Andover (pictured) has been open for only eight months, but it has quickly found a home as one of the town’s favorite places to eat sushi. "Sushi and the Hibachi food are the most popular," said Irene Li of Thyme. The sushi bar has a few items that you may not find at all Japanese restaurants. First of all the Ee-Dako, baby octopus, makes a great appetizer at only five dollars. Tako Su is another popular octopus dish that is marinated in a flavorful vinegar sauce. That dish costs only six dollars.
