| - A sleekish, low-lit interior, an oddball mix of music (novelty country / top 40 pop / trance...?), and a menu with pictures; strangely, it works.
All of M's specialty sushi rolls have detailed descriptions and pics- handy for those crazy concoctions where the name 'Coo-coo Plaid Roll' isn't really illustrative. There's not really a 'Coo-coo Plaid Roll', I made that up, but you get the point.
We started with the 'M Roll', which is a bells and whistles, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink type of sushi roll with tempura shrimp, spicy mayo crab mix, eel sauce, cucumber, macadamia nuts, bonito flakes, and roe. The hubby wondered if they got a screaming deal on macadamia nuts, because they seemed to be on EVERYTHING.
The majority of the house rolls appear to be fried, baked, inside-out or upside-down, but there are plenty of classic rolls and sashimi for diners who prefer more traditional offerings. We ordered the sashimi sampler: red snapper, mackerel, tuna, and salmon. It was fresh and delicious. Request the fresh wasabi with your sashimi - its bright spicy bite is the perfect complement to raw fish.
We also tried the M Peppers, fresh jalapenos stuffed with crab meat (no 'k'!), and cream cheese. Haute cuisine? Methinks no, but they sure were tasty little scoundrels.
Prices were reasonable, and it looks like they regularly offer discounts through Groupon and Restaurant.com, so try a search before you go. I will definitely return to explore more of their specialty rolls and see what sashimi the chef has in store.
