| - I hadn't been to Bei for quite some time, but decided to stop by the other day to satisfy my craving for sushi. I got there just in time to order from the lunch menu before the kitchen closed until dinner. (The restaurant closes each day at 2:30, and reopens at 4:30)
It was just a few minutes past 2:00, but my server was helpful enough to let me know that it was last call for lunch orders, and when the kitchen closed, that was it, and she wanted to be sure I got in under the wire.
I made a quick decision to have the Sushi Combo, which was miso soup, tuna, salmon, yellowtail and shrimp nigiri, and a California roll or Spicy Tuna roll - which looked like a good deal at $9.50. For my roll, I wanted to have a spicy tuna hand roll instead of the standard roll. The server said that was no problem. I also asked it she could be sure it was spicy, and she indicated again, no problem.
My miso soup arrived within moments. It was pretty basic, but met my needs. My sushi also arrived quickly. The fish tasted fresh, and even the shrimp, which I am not generally a big fan of, was good. My spicy tuna hand roll started off ok, although I could see, and taste with my first bite that siracha had been used to supply the heat.
I don't have an objection to siracha, but in most spicy tuna I have historically had, the heat has been supplied by chili oil, which adds heat without the tuna flavor being drowned out as it was with the siracha in this case.
By the time I got 1/2 way into my hand roll, all I could taste was siracha. I had to drizzle a bit of soy sauce with wasabi into the roll to offset the overwhelming siracha taste with a different and less sweet element.
I know the next time to request that siracha be kept to a minimum, and that chili oil be used for heat. I believe Bei will be able to accommodate that request.
On this visit, everything happened so fast that I was finished with my lunch in about 15 minutes. My server assured me that I could take my time, and that only the food order was time sensitive, but since I was finished, I requested my check anyway. It was a pretty quick lunch - in and out in 20 minutes!
Still, I will be going back again soon. The service was great, and Bei is accommodating. I'll bet they can prepare me exactly the spicy tuna roll that I want! Also, my prior meal with them was excellent.
For the money, my lunch was a great deal! Next time, the Sashimi Combo!
