| - Twiisted is new in town! But they are now having their "soft opening". Their Grand opening will be July 11, 2014. This restaurant used to be the "Sushi On The Roll". I may sound so brutal but then I'm glad there's a new "sushi" in town, "Twiisted Sushi Bar and Grill". Yup that's right. Sushi and Burgers!
Anyways, why four stars? those stars are only for the restaurant's atmosphere, staff friendliness, service, cleanliness and Timeliness. And we happen to meet the owner there having his dinner too. He's nice and very level headed.
I will only be reviewing the meal that we've ordered.
1) Octupus Nigiri and Uni Nigiri - I got 2 pc of each. Ordering octopus sometimes is a risk because Octopus tend to get tough. And Uni sometimes get that too fishy smell and after taste. I'm impressed, their octopus nigiri is nice soft chewy and Uni nigiri is quite fresh with that slight sweet salty good taste. so this meal-- 4 stars.
2) California Dreamin' --(Crab, avocado, cucumber topped w/ seared salmon, garlic aioli, sweet soy, almonds, scallion - about 8 pcs.)
I highly recommend this. It has a yum factor to it. My 12 yr old daughter loved it. Only thing she said she's not crazy about the crushed almonds and I agree. But all in all -- 3 1/2 stars
3) Philadelphia - (Smoked salmon, avocado, cream cheese. - about 8 pcs.) Something about too much cream cheese always throws me away though. I guess if you don't want to taste the fish at all on your sushi rolls might as well order a vegetarian or ask if meat substitute is available. Not crazy about this one seems like I'm just eating cream cheese. But I recommend it for first timers. ;-) 3 stars
4) Twiisted Classic Burger -(Cheddar, duck bacon, pickled onion, lettuce, tomato, spicy aioli on a brioche bun). The bun, meat patty, cheddar, lettuce & tomato are excellent, but the spicy aioli with the pickled onion and duck bacon over powered the whole thing. My advice: if you are really looking for a "classic" burger taste, skip the duck bacon and ask them to go very light on he pickled onion. It's a great burger. 3 1/2 stars
5) French Fries -- "The French Fries" may I say. This alone is a meal already. It's light, soft and fluffy inside and light crisp on the outside and when dipped with their own homemade ketchup with a hint of ginger and a secret ingredient this fries just melts in your mouth. Now imagine that! ;-) Funny thing I have to rate this -- 4 stars!
6) Chocolate Mousse- topped with light whipped cream and sliced strawberries and with a hint of spice. Yes I said spice as in a chili spice. I totally forgot what was the said spice they used but definitely worth a try. This is one of those desserts that tickles your palate. I like it! -- 3 stars
7) Edamame-- And I should not forget that complementary Edamame! Sprinkled with their special salt and crushed dried chili pepper. Lovely! -- 3 stars
Over all I really do enjoy dining at Twiisted Sushi Bar and Grill and Yeah finally something new and good and diverse in Medina, OH. ;-)
