| - This place is awesome!
My wife and I stopped in on a Friday night before heading off to the Tempe Improv. At first blush, it seemed a little dark. The decor is very black and red...almost like you'd find at some after hours club..only with more windows...or any windows, for that matter. But, it wasn't anything that was going to deter us from coming in.
We were greeted by the hostess who was pleasant enough. She was certain to point out the current specials drawn on the dry-erase board located by the hostess' stand. On this night, the Baja Roll was the flavor of choice. We obviously weren't ready to make such a snap decision before being seated, but we did let the idea simmer while were shown to our table.
Once seated, we took a look over the actual menu. There are several pages offering up varying concoctions, including dinner plates, sushi rolls, and even delicious cocktails available at the full bar. We knew we were about to run into a two-drink minimum in the very near future, so we opted to forego the drinks this time.
After a few times through the menu, and after deeply considering the current special, we had made our decision. For both of us to share, we decided to get two different rolls, as well as an appetizer: The Playgirl Roll and the Baja Roll, plus an order of Mussels.
The Mussels were the first to arrive. Perfect for sharing, and very nicely seasoned. The only downside to the mussels was that we didn't have forks...we had chopsticks. I am absolutely TERRIBLE with chopsticks, so I had to do a little work. Sure, I could have asked for a fork. But what would have been the fun in that, right? Plus, it made my wife laugh, and that's always an added bonus.
After our appetizer, we found ourselves face to face with two beautiful creations. The Baja Roll came on a plate with a surprisingly spicy sauce in the middle of the plate. As the manager explained during one of her many trips to our table, the Baja Roll was kind of like a fish taco, but with a Japanese twist. She was absolutely right. Delicious! Couple that with our salmon, cream cheese and avocado Playgirl Roll, and our dinner was amazing!
I'm honored to be the 100th review for this awesome Sushi spot. It turned out to be a fantastic date night dinner. Hopefully, we'll be back sometime in the near future, if only to improve my chopstick skills. I mean, I'm REALLY bad with chopsticks...comically bad.
