(Lyrics - Pat Benatar - Hit Me With Your Best Shot)
Hit me with a sakebomb
Why don't you hit me with a sakebomb
Hit me with a sakebomb
Fire Away!
Well your real good fried rice with a long history
Of filling little bellies, like the one in me
Before I put another piece of roll in my mouth
You better make sure it doesn't wipe the smile off my face!
Hit me with a sakebomb
Why don't you hit me with a sakebomb
Hit me with a sakebomb
Fire Away!
First opinion when I first walked into Sakebomber was Wow! I think I like that modern sushi them mixed with traditional Japanese decor. The place was definitely hip and had a huge sushi bar. Drink selection was pretty good too! LCD TV screens help lit the room while the sushi chops away. I wasn't too fond of the layout of the tables since I thought was pretty close to each other. I have the tendency to feel someone is listening.....haha!
Moreover, I'm not too knowledgeable about sushi so I let me two counterparts do the ordering. However, I must say the best dish of the night had to go to the fried rice. Yes, I'm sure it had a long history Pat. The rice itself was not made from the traditional rice like most Asian restaurants. I believe they were actually made with sticky rice rice; if that makes since to you gwhy-los. I think that's what did it for me, but it was also well seasoned and even though we ordered the vegetarian one - I'm sure the one with meat taste just as awesome. My second intrique dish was the sakebomber fries. Breaded with panko I believe and fried. This was different and it taste like it was fresh cut potatoes. Kudos for that cause I love fresh cut potato fries and to add that extra crunch!? Yum! The rolls we ordered were nothing too special and probably and second thought in my mind. My two friends that join me that night quoted -- "It's not bad. I like the fried rice, but nothing stand out for me" Kathy H. While Ms. Tang quoted "Food was okay. Good service. Fried Rice was the bomb". - sakebomb? Maybe next time - wink!
Service was indeed good. Our hostess was very pleasant while putting the pink wrist band around my wrist. She explained they got busted for serving underage kids. Hey you that's underage -- you know who you are -- if you want to drink stay at home or wait til your 21! Quit ruining it for the rest of us! Anyways, our server Yoshi did a phenomenal job and was quite knowledgeable about the menu. He sold us on the fried rice and it was a winner!
Overall, the food was okay, but the server was tops. Price wise -- going for HH is a recommendation. We had a party of 3 and it came out to be about $20 per person. Next time I drop by think I'll get hit with a sakebomb! - Enjoy!
