| - Finally had the famed Hello Kitty roll! For those who are wondering, I am pretty sure / if memory serves, it is shrimp tempura, cucumber, and yellowtail (maybe?) wrapped in seaweed and rice, then topped with more tuna and avocado, some kind of tiny egg (not the big roe, but the grainy-looking stuff), and mayo sauce. It was pretty good, though I was not completely blown away by it.
Had the Rock N Roll, which I personally liked better than the hello kitty roll. Next time we are going to try the Hot Rock Roll.
All the specialty rolls here look so good, and I know I can trust them to not be too ricey. I'm going to have to keep going back to try new things!
Also had the jalapeno bomb appetizer - deep fried jalapenos stuffed with spicy tuna and cream cheese - definitely has a little kick to it, the slow burning kind of jalapeno spicy that you don't realize is hot until you've already eaten all 4 pieces. I definitely ended up drinking an entire glass of water trying to eat these (but I am a wimp).
We had a creamy mermaid coupon and a $1 off coupon from last time, which they had no problem using at all.
The service continues to put this place over the top. Fast and friendly, just the way I like it. When we arrived on this visit, there was an open 2-person table near the door, but they cleared a 4-person table really quickly for us in the back, as it was pretty cold outside and there was a bit of a draft. Going to have to come back soon to use my $1 off coupon! What a great marketing idea :)
