| - Vegan review:
We got a groupon to Swish and were really excited to try the offerings.
This was the first time I had suki yaki and I highly recommend it over shabu! There is a vegan shabu broth option though if you are interested. The waitress prepared the suki yaki by adding garlic, hot sauce, and green onions to a hot dish over a burner. Then, she added a ponzu, mirin and soy sauce mixture into the dish. I got the veggie portion ($8.95) which was a really healthy amount of food. It came with napa cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, udon noodles, broccoli plus a bowl of rice. Definitely very filling and generous portions.
Things are much more expensive for meat eaters. My brother got a "hungry portion" (8oz) of prime rib-eye PLUS an a la carte portion (4oz) of the prime rib-eye. His meat came with a side of veggies/udon and bowl of rice, but he gave me his veggies. He polished off all the meat and rice and was sufficiently full.
The veggie sushi:
The veggie roll (not tempura veggie roll) was just avocado and cucumber, so I didn't think it was worth $6. The avocado roll (not on the menu) is also $6 which was crazy. The sushi rice did not have sushi seasoning and was mushy. It was fine though, but I prefer the suki yaki for sure.
Vegans can eat here for less than $10. Others can eat here for $10-$30.
Service:
The waitress was so helpful in helping me figure out what was vegan and what wasn't (the sauces, broths, etc). She was friendly and just awesome!
