| - Review 10/10 for the 10 bookmarked businesses to review before the end of 2016! From Meagan B.'s thread: https://www.yelp.com/topic/phoenix-yelp-phoenixs-10-firsts-of-2016
Sushiholic was the perfect restaurant to end the 10 review challenge on. We came here on a Wednesday night and it was packed! Despite it being so busy, we didn't have to wait too long for a table, maybe a few minutes. The restaurant has lunch specials from 11-2, an amazing happy hour that extends from 2-8, and then reverse happy hour from 8-close. Basically, the restaurant offers discounted food and drink at any point in time during their normal hours of operation :).
We indulged in some happy hour items such as the monkey brain (AKA stuffed mushrooms), jalapeƱo poppers, spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll, shrimp tempura roll, rainbow roll, and gyoza. All were delectable bites and the rolls had nicely cooked rice with fresh fish, a lovely balance of textures and flavors in each.
I also shared some regular rolls not on the happy hour menu such as the spider roll, and also had some tonkatsu ramen. The spider roll was presented as four large pieces, with lightly fried and battered soft shell crab. The tonkatsu was average. I loved the soft boiled egg, but the broth was not as rich tasting as others I've had like at Tampopo or Nishikawa. It had a lighter flavor, less of a pork-infused taste with a lot of garlic in it. It was served with bamboo shoots, sprouts, sliced pork, half an egg, sliced wood ear mushrooms and naruto. The actual ramen noodles were decent but I like Tampopo's freshly made noodles as the best in the Phoenix area.
Service was excellent even though it was so busy tonight. Drinks were refilled as needed and plates were whisked away promptly.
So, go here for the sushi and the great happy hour and you will leave as a true Sushiholic!
P.S. Shout out to Suzie W. for her check-ins and review which made me want to try their food!
