| - After a nice workout my friend and I decided to grab some food in Shadyside. I have not been to Sushi Too in a really long time and had an appointment on Walnut at 8:30 so it kinda worked out perfectly. When you walked in you were greeted warmly and led right to a table. It was not packed in the restaurant but it had more people inside than I expected for a Monday at seven. The waitress came over and asked about drinks but I opted just for water, if I just worked out I better try to be a little bit healthy throughout my meal.
While looking at the menu I was particularly interested in the fact that they had lunch boxes. I think that a little bento lunch box at a reasonable price is really the way to go for a quick and easy take-out lunch. I put that in the back of my head as maybe lunch spot for later.
I was interested in the sushi donuts on the menu. But I think it was more for the idea of me ordering a sushi donut not for anything else more than that. I think that it was just sushi in the shape of a donut. The prices weren't bad, around $9-15 dollars per donut, but it just was not what I was looking for and I would have wanted to share it not really get it for myself, it looked a little much.
It was a colder day so I opted for the wonton soup to warm myself before we picked out our meals. I will say that this is where they started to lose me. I am a sucker for wonton soup. I order it at almost every place that has it looking for my favor broth and wonton combo. The broth here was not good at all. It, to me, tasted like salt. I mean that honestly, deer in the woods licking a salt lick, salt. That is the very image that popped into my head as I was trying to enjoy the soup. It was hard to get through and I had to drink a lot of water that night. The wontons were ok. I would say that they had a nice stuffing of chicken and seafood and the meat consistency and flavor was good. But the broth.... I do not think that I could make myself drink that or even go through that again.
My friend then for her before dinner snack ordered the vegetable gyoza. I had one of the little dumplings and they were pretty good. I have never had a strictly vegetable gyoza so this was an experience. It still tasted good as any semi fried/steamed dumpling would and the dipping sauce made it extra delightful. I would order this again, especially if there were any meat issues within the group that I was with.
For my main course I ordered the house special roll "dragon roll". It is my go to for all sushi. I love eel and avocado. It was wrapped perfectly and had a nice smokey eel taste to it. A perfect amount of wasbi was put on the plate. I would ask for my ginger for the next time, but overall the presentation and the taste was very good. I would get this again because it tasted fresh and it was a tight roll that didn't give way when dipped in soy sauce. Yum.
I also ordered on the side the two piece of sashimi that was just two pieces of tuna over a rice roll. I got this to go for my partner to eat but then he already ate so I took it to lunch the next morning. YUM! What a nice filling little lunch treat. It stayed fresh and tasted very good. So if you have to keep your sashimi on hold for a bit, just know it will stay good for just a day.
I liked it here. I would like more opportunity to explore the menu, but I can say that it was A-Ok in my book. Try it out, maybe you will like it too.
