| - Burgushi, baby!
Nû Burger Sushi does (you guessed it) burgers, sushi, and everything in between.
Its fast food meets sushi bar meets lounge. It's a cool and comfortable spot to go for a lunch, dinner or with a group of friends.
Four of us embarked on a journey to eat as many things as we could. These are our stories.
The menu is divided into three, with Burgers on the left, Sushi on the right, and Burgushi, (sushi inspired burgers and burger inspired sushi,) right down the middle.
I don't know why you'd want to choose to miss out on slamming two of the best street foods together, but if you'll not feeling like burgushi, they've got some super creative selections in both the Burger and Sushi worlds.
We tried a Shrimp Po' Boy, a southern classic, this one with a touch of Japanese flare with Tempura Shrimp, Sriracha mayo and pickled onion. Other than that, it's a classic Po' Boy with large, juicy shrimp. Yum
I've just got to see someone order the "Keep It Down Elvis, You're Drunk" Burger. Local grass-fed beef, crispy bacon, grilled banana, smooth peanut butter, wasabi aioli and a drizzle of maple syrup. Sounds terrible... yet I'm cautiously optimistic. After such a good experience here, I've no doubt I'll step up and order this next time I'm in. It's also the item on the menu where for an extra $2, it comes with a shot of sake.
In the Burgushi realm, we stuffed our mouth holes with the "Going Burger", (local grass-fed beef, shitake mushrooms, sesame grilled tofu, ginger chips, cilantro, teriyaki glaze, crispy onions, wasabi mayo). Awesome! This was one of my favourite for the evening. All the saucy Japanese things on a 6oz beef burger. I was one happy eater.
Next up was the Bánh Mi Fried Chicken. This one threw me for a loop because I was expecting a Banh Mi Fried Chicken Burger, but it's actually a sushi roll. Sure enough, it says so in the description, but this is when we learned that Burgushi can come in both burger form and sushi roll form. And what' a sushi roll! with togarashi fried chicken, green and red onion, pickled carrot, fresh jalapeño, ciantro, peanut sauce, spicy mayo!
From here it was on to the Sushi side of the menu!
The sushi is creative and very large. You don't need much soy sauce, if any, to dip it in because each roll comes with it's own unique sauces. We tried The One Roll (really did rule them all!), The Russian Roulette (surprisingly happy mashup), The Silk Road, and The Cali Smoke. I won't bother listing what's in everything, but to give you an idea on the creativity, The One Roll is asparagus tempura, Pacific shrimp tempura, snow crab, avocado, cream cheese, topped with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. OH SUSHI!
Bottles of Sake are around $25 a piece, so naturally we ordered three of them to help wash down of tasty meal.
Pretty sure I'm 15lbs heavier today. Worth it.
