| - I would just like to preface this review by saying that; I have never been a sushi person & always thought it was the most over hyped, band wagon-y type food out there & I never wanted anything to do with it. And yes, I had tried it before & gave it a chance, but it was never something that I would say; "Hey, let's go out & get some sushi!"
Well...things done changed! I would just like to give credit where credit is due. Thank you Cresta I. for opening my eyes!! I have had the pleasure of sharing a few great meals with Cresta. However, this was by far the best & most amazing!
I agreed to go with her to YG&S for her pre work meal, after my impromptu flash mobesque UYE @ Retro Bakery, purely as moral support though. All the while, she was telling me I was going to try this, that & the other, and of course I was telling her that I would in fact not be trying any of it.
So, I ordered my chicken fried rice & she ordered a Joy roll, a Philadelphia roll, and a fresh, raw scallop. Finally, after much prodding & insisting on Cresta's part, I reluctantly tried the Philly roll. Not bad. So, at which point I had nothing to lose & I tried the Joy roll. OMFG!! So fresh & delicious! I was really blown away. And, it only got better. The scallop was freakin' amazing! Like nothing I have ever tasted before. The flavors were just so fresh & clean. The ponzu that comes on the scallop is just the right amount of citrusy kick that this dish needs. I was a little wary of the tiny roe & expected it to be fishy & salty. I could not be more wrong. I could not taste anything really, and I just felt the little "pops" in my mouth, like tiny little roe just hugging my taste buds. Well, that would be the best way to describe it anyway :P
Having said all of that; I will admit that I have conformed & will publicly admit it in this forum, amongst all of my esteemed Yelp peers, that I officially like sushi.
