| - We are thrilled to have found a pretty good sushi restaurant that is somewhat close to our neighborhood!
We were welcomed and seated promptly! Waters were brought very quickly, along with a Kirin and Sochu! Even the sushi was pretty fast.
The first thing that came out was our salmon sashimi! I looked great, the slices were of good size, and was super fresh! Great start!
Then we received our order of Heart Attack. Tempura fried fresh jalapeno stuffed with crab, spicy tuna and cream cheese. Again, another winner!
The next thing to come out was the Philly roll. I must say that this is a different version than I'm used to, so was a little curious about if I'd like it or not. Both my husband and I agreed that we liked it better than the standard traditional Philly roll. The inside is cream cheese, cucumber and asparagus with the salmon on the outside. Not only do you get more cream cheese this way, but also more salmon! Definitely one we'd re-order again.
This was followed by the Spicy Tuna Crunchy roll. Again, a different take on the typical spicy tuna roll. This one didn't so much pay off. Both my husband and I agreed that we like the traditional version, and would try to order it without the "crunchy" in the future. While it wasn't bad by any means, it left a lot to be desired in terms of the freshness and spice you get from a traditional Spicy Tuna.
And we rounded out our sushi experience with the baked Scallop Roll. Scallops and crab on top of a Cali roll, that it baked with some tasty sauces drizzled on top. Reminds me of one of my favorite rolls that I always used to get before moving to Arizona, and have never found it anywhere since. I must say that while it wasn't a duplicate of my favorite, it was pretty close and definitely tasty!
We will definitely be making Yen a repeat when we are wanting sushi!
