Japanese food from a Korean perspective.
Craving Japanese but didn't feel like driving d/t. Considering I'm walking distance from Heartland I decide to explore the area for sushi near my house.
After 30 minutes I finally made it to Odai sushi! First impression tiny, dark, and empty....:-s. Not a good thing to see an empty spot, Mind you it was empty b/c I was there in b/w the lunch and dinner hour. I've been back for lunch time and it was a full house so I'm sure dinner is just as packed. As well I knew right away that this was a Korean place b/c I understood at times what the staff were saying to each other. Thanks 2NE1 for your show and making me wanna learn Korean.
Prices are like any sushi place, $6 and up with their own specialty rolls. The rice they had is very tasty, mixed well and blended nicely with the fish. The maki rolls tasted great however there was more rice than filling. Tempura was very well done, crispy, not greasy and the tempura batter did not fall apart the moment you touched it.
On a side note, while waiting for my food, the one waitress put me to work. She asked me to grab a couple plates and glasses on a few occasions. I didn't mind at all b/c she asked nicely, but that was a first for me.
I'll come back for another visit mainly b/c of two items that I loved.
Items to definitely get
- Charashi Donburi
- Spicy mango salad
