| - My friend and I visited Sushi Kee for the first time last night, having driven by it a thousand times without a second thought given the neighborhood and the simple exterior. We had seen the good reviews and, wanting something different, decided to give it a try. At first we were prepared to be disappointed. When we arrived there was only one waitress working and she was so distracted by a technical issue with the credit card machine that it took us nearly twenty minutes to even get our menus. The complimentary salad had an interesting dressing but my portion, at least, was nearly 1/3 dressing and utterly overwhelmed the lettuce. I can also honestly say that I have never had such bland miso soup in my life. Not an auspicious start to the meal.
Despite the rough beginning, we were very happy to learn that every Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is all-day Happy Hour, for which the entire menu is discounted. We tried three rolls and two orders of nigiri and our bill was only a little over $40. The rest of the week, Happy Hour ends at 6:30.
Our first roll, the name of which escapes me, we only ordered out of curiosity because we had never seen a sushi roll with cheese and this one had tempura shrimp, avocado, cream cheese and mozzarella. While it was an interesting experience we would definitely not order it again. It was so heavy and greasy that we really didn't feel like we were even eating sushi.
Everything after that roll, though, was excellent! The Salmon Skin Roll was perfect and the 9-1-1 Roll was very fresh and tasty. Unfortunately, there was only one sushi chef and he was clearly in a hurry, as the rolls were not as neat and well-formed as one would hope. It was clear that presentation was not a priority at Sushi Kee, which detracted some from the meal.
Where the restaurant really shined, though, was the nigiri. It's been mentioned before, but the nigiri pieces are very big, well priced and fresh. We initially only ordered tuna and unagi but had to request another order of the unagi because it was just so delicious. My friend commented that the rice had the best flavor that she could recall at any sushi restaurant that we've visited.
While Sushi Kee won't score a perfect five stars from us do to the lack of polishing on the edges, we will definitely be back. We are already planning another visit during one of the Happy Hour days, but this time we will simply stick to the nigiri.
