| - Awesome "Eggplant Fries" with a Red Miso Sauce "To Die For"
We stopped in at Island Sushi and Hawaiian Grill for happy hour and enjoyed some wonderful, creative food and great service (that was very attentive but not cloying).
For happy hour, drinks are two for the price of one, and they allowed us to order one set of drinks at a time (vs other places that make each person order two drinks at a time). We started with a round of lychee martini's, which were delicious, smooth and garnished with whole lychees.
The happy hour sushi offerings were half rolls for half price. We got four half rolls (spicy tuna roll, Island roll, tuna & mango passion roll, and a tiger roll). We really loved the tuna & mango passion roll, which was extremely original and very tasty.
But what really set the meal apart were the "eggplant fries" with a house-made spicy red miso sauce. These were perfectly done... not greasy at all, perfectly salted, creamy on the inside, crunchy on the outside, and the sauce was unique, spicy and delicious.
We're looking forward to going back (and to trying their location on Eastern as well).
