| - I wouldn't normally associate Medina with great sushi and Asian fusion style food, but boy was I wrong. My partner and I had a pretty great experience and would definitely love to come back.
Prices, in my opinion, were pretty reasonable and affordable for what your ordering: creative, inventive, quality sushi. Not to mention, portions are generous.
We ordered three starters, one sushirito, one roll, and one dessert. We left feeling stuffed!
My favorites were the duck wings, the berryrito, the surf and turf roll, and the lemon berry cake.
The duck wings were sooooo good and tender and the skins crispy. Way better than plain ole chicken wings. There are six sauces you can choose from. We went with the mild Asian BBQ as it was least spicy.
They have what's called sushiritos. They are just what they sound like--sushi in burrito form. These babies are huge!! We ordered the berryrito which had shredded crab, green apple, craisins, and candied walnuts. It was really unique. My only complaints are that I thought it could have used more crab, and a lot less rice. The rice was a little much.
The surf n turf roll was great. The steak was cooked perfectly and there were ample amounts of crab. Oh, and it came with ten pieces instead of the usual six or eight (!!!).
Lastly, dessert. The lemon berry cake was so much better than I was expecting it to be, and I was already expecting it to be pretty good. It had the consistency of pound cake, was topped with powdered sugar, and served with a dollop of whip cream.
Our served was incredibly nice and friendly, super personable. He frequently checked in on us to see how we enjoyed everything. Service started off a bit lackluster. We had to ask for napkins, silverware, and app plates.
The drink descriptions sounded better than the drinks tasted. They seem to be inventive, but they are incredibly imbalanced. I ordered their version of a gin and tonic (gin, tonic, pomegranate juice, club soda) and it literally tasted like straight up gin. I didn't realize I ordered gin on the rocks?!
