| - I have a new love and it goes by the name of Cyros! On Friday, I decided to double down on sushi-I had an ok experience at lunch that left me wanting a great sushi experience for dinner. Enter Cyros here.
After reading rave reviews on Yelp, hearing great things from friends and from Faith D, I was wondering what all the hype of Cyros was about. I'm usually not one for South Park establishments since I find them to be overpriced but wanted to take a chance and see if the people were right.
I didn't know where it was but turns out it's in the same building as Roosters, tucked away in the back facing Walgreens. While waiting for my friend, I perused the menu and was in awe---the sushi was actually reasonably priced? In South Park?? Say whaaaaa? For some reason I was expecting to be a clubby atmosphere but I had it all wrong, it's a small restaurant complete with tables, high tops and a sushi bar. I love the modern decor and you can buy the art on the walls. The art was gorgeous and it had an orgami/ textured style to it.
But enough about art and space, let's talk sushi. Holy balls, it was amazing. As I said before, it's very reasonable priced and they offer a variety of rolls however at the same time it's not sushi overkill where you keep flip flopping about what you want. I got the Nobu Fire Roll and Futo Maki roll. Both were outstanding featuring fresh fish and a whole world of taste. The presentation of the sushi was equally amazing b/c I like to think of sushi as art and when you slop it down on a plate, it's not very inspiring. They offer vegetarian friendly rolls and I dug how every roll isn't McSushi (fried with imitation fish).
We had a visit from one of the owners who was genuinely concerned about our experience and sushi which is so refreshing since you really don't see that nowadays. The server was educated on what was what and didn't just spout off the specials without explaining what it was.
So Cyros-we shall see each other soon. I may even buy a BFF necklace and give you the other half!!
