| - Fast, friendly service and good, but not great, sushi.
Sushi Kee isn't located in an area where you'd typically think of a decent sushi restaurant being located. But I went inside because of the decent ratings here on Yelp, and I am happy I did so. The interior of the restaurant is nothing spectacular, but it has a decent number of tables and seating area at the sushi bar. As I was there by myself, I sat at the bar.
The restaurant wasn't too full, but I got attention from no less than 3 employees while I was eating. My water was always full and my sushi orders were quickly taken and processed, all with a smile.
As for the food itself, I was impressed with the variety of options on the menu. There are a number of traditional sushi options as far as the nigiri, sashimi, and rolls go. There are also a few more unique roll options with local names (like Apache and Arizona) and some rolls that are made with cucumber rather than with rice.
I tried a couple of those unique rolls--the Apache and the Crazy Lobster, I believe. Both were pretty solid. The Crazy Lobster is one of the cucumber rolls--I rather enjoyed the break from the traditional rice roll. For anybody who cares, it's a good way to have your sushi be even less carb intensive. And the Apache was also pretty good. It is baked and has a spicy sauce on it, so it provides some warmth that other sushi rolls might not for a cool evening.
Finally, I ended my meal with a "dessert" order: the unagi nigiri. This order of eel has a nice, sweet sauce to it that really does make for a nice finisher for a sushi meal. Sushi Kee's version of the unagi was a little heavy on the sauce for my liking, but it was nonetheless pretty tasty.
As the local, seemingly best option for sushi, I'm sure that I'll be back.
