| - After 15 years of loyal patronage to I Love Sushi, it seems as though the tide has turned down Eastern a bit to a newer strip mall sushi joint, Spicy Tuna. I had heard good things from friends and family, so my parents and I decided to stop in for an early dinner around 5pm last week. There were only two other tables occupied, so I knew service was going to be great BUT instead, it took about 15 minutes to get a glass of water and give someone our drink order. Yikes. The food quality however, made up for it! Quickly too, for our table was packed with sushi and appetizers in a matter of minutes.
We started with the bacon maki, wrapped in scallops which was alright, a little chewy for my taste. The Arizona roll which I thought was by far the best, fresh salmon and avocado which I garnished with thinly sliced lemon. Superb!
A HUGE portion of steaming yaki soba which was honestly the sweetest surprise of the whole meal. The flavors were so rich and sweet but not cloying and the vegetables tender and plentiful. Made for great leftovers too!
Other sushi highlights were the D's roll, which was piled high with "cones" of spicy tuna mixture that looked like hats or some sort of whirling dervish, and the Kyle's special which was also another little saucy number, topped with a variety of fresh fish: albacore, salmon, yellowtail, and shrimp.
Filling, flavorful, and FRESH.
