| - I finally was able to stop by and try Szechuan Spice, and after multiple years of living directly over it in the past, this was a long time coming.
If I can give you only one tip with this restaurant, it is this -- Go. On. Wednesday. There is a half price sushi menu and it is excellent. After a meal of 2 specialty sushi rolls, one spicy tuna roll, two pieces of salmon sushi, a pork egg roll, and dessert, the bill was $28. Not too shabby.
I ordered the spicy girl roll which was absolutely perfect. It was spicy, but just a bit, and that was cooled off by the avocado. I really enjoyed how the whole roll was wrapped with imitation crab on the outside; it had a surprising texture and added a sweet note. (yes, most sushi uses imitation crab, don't gasp, deep down you knew that and it is delicious so don't judge).
The salmon sushi was of very good quality; the two rolls ordered by my companion (the rainbow roll and spicy tuna) were also yummy. Very fresh overall! But the most interesting and one of the most surprising parts of the meal was the red bean ice cream. I've never had red bean ice cream before, and it was actually quite good. For some reason it reminded me of stracciatella due to the texture and flavor.
The service was friendly and quick for fresh sushi. I'll have to stop by another time to try all if the different items offered on the menu, but it'll be hard to tear me away from the Wednesday special.
