| - Do you like giant hamburgers? Do you like fantastically fresh and creative sushi? Do you like a page long craft brew list in the $3-$4 range? Do you like a giant picture of Japanese Elvis watching you eat?
If so, then Cowfish is for you.
If not...we probably shouldn't hang out.
We showed up on a Saturday afternoon and there was about a 25 minute wait so I can only imagine what dinner sans reservation would be like. The servers were all super friendly, from the bartender who brought our drinks and stopped to shoot the shit about one of the brewery's that he had info on, to the waiter who scooted in with the ladies next to us when taking their orders "so I don't have my butt all in anyone's face". The atmosphere is funky and filled with great pop art, but not so swank that i felt out of place in errand attire.
But enough about the frills, you care about the food right? We got a small edamame, which was by no means small ($4), and split three 8-piece Makimono: the spicy tuna roll ($7), the volcanic roll ($13) and the dynamite roll($13). All the fish was very fresh and generously cut. I'm curious to try their burgushi, which is a fusion of land ingredients and sushi form, or sushi ingredients and burger form, depending on what you pick. There was more than enough food to keep us both full until late in the evening, so you get what you pay for, but the menu does get a but pricey if you aren't bargain-conscious (read: cheap).
Cowfish is by all means a great sushi place to go for an occasional lunch treat or a special event, but I'm thinking for normal sushi nights, I might stick a little closer to home (and budget).
