A large group of friends went to Nikko on Saturday for a friend's birthday. They did a great job accommodating us, especially since we had such a large group and it was a Saturday night. I tend to get really overwhelmed when ordering sushi for a number of reasons. First off, there's so many options. Secondly, I know what I like, but always want to try something new. Thirdly, I either order way too much food or not enough.
Saturday's decisions were made mainly off of the name. Sounds ridiculous, right? I ordered the Dancing Queen and Drunken Salmon. The Dancing Queen is "steamed asparagus and spicy tuna topped with spicy guacamole and tempura chips". It was delicious. I will give this roll credit (or blame?) for morphing me into a dancing queen later on in the evening. The Drunken Salmon was very light and described as "salmon toro marinated in Grand Marnier sauce topped with radish sprout with a side of creamy jalapeno sauce. I loved that the creamy sauce came on the side rather than being drizzled over the salmon. The sauce was great, but it was good to be able to control how much of it was used.
There's always such a great energy and vibe going on in Nikko. Good music, good people and great staff.
