Ever want to feel like Norm on Cheers? Well, walk into Sushi Loca and you'll feel like everybody knows your name! Ok, so it's not exactly the same and they don't really say your name. But boy does it sate the ole' ego when all the sushi chefs and wait staff cheer some happy Japanese somethin-or-other when you walk in the door!
For a local joint, the decor here is fabulous. Who'da thunk it just a stone's throw from Walmart and Payless? But indeed, walk through the suburban doors to find a pulsing urban atmosphere with lush red and purple velvet seat backs, black, industrial piping in the ceiling and up-tempo music to make you feel part of the IT crowd.
I've lived in the NW valley for almost 5 years, and this is the first place that marries really good sushi with a really cool atmosphere. I cannot recommend the spicy garlic edamame enough. I would travel to Hender-tucky for it! Honestly. Amazing. The sushi is fresh and creative with many the R-rated maki names :) I'll let you see those for yourself.
Take a date, go with friends, or go by yourself to flirt with the sushi chefs. This place is a GO.
