| - I got the Saku Roll which contained tuna, scallop, coriander, cucumber, and jalapeño. L ordered the Energy Roll which contained prawn tempura, avocado, spicy tuna, and unagi. D's Volcano Roll contained prawn tempura, avocado, spicy salmon, yam, and potato garnish.
The rolls were absolutely gorgeous when paired together in the low light restaurant and were decently priced with eight rolls in each one.
I liked the size of the rolls; not too big and definitely you were able to fit one entirely into your mouth if you didn't have too many toppings on your roll. I liked the Saku Roll. It was creamy and slightly mushy. I think the mushiness was due to the rice. I didn't taste too much of the scallop which was really the main reason for me ordering this roll -- I wanted scallop in my sushi roll! I liked the sliver of jalapeño on top of the roll that gave it some extra heat.
I tried one roll each of the Energy Roll and the Volcano Roll and thought they were both tasty too. D really, really enjoyed her Volcano Roll. Similar to the Saku Roll, I didn't think that the spicy salmon nor the spicy tuna were very apparent in the Volcano and Energy Rolls respectively though. I did like the prawn tempura in the Volcano Roll.
The Daily Special Sashimi Platter was smaller than I imagined but for $11 was a really good price for amazingly fresh and delicious sashimi. We all especially liked the salmon sashimi for its fatty cut and smoothness and the hamachi was incredibly soft and melted in your mouth when you ate it.
