| - A friend recommended Big Eye after stopping in for happy hour one day, so some friends and I decided to give it a try as well.
It was definitely a drive from the Cen Pho, but I enjoyed it and will definitely go back again!
Their all day happy hour menu is wonderful and the prices here are pretty great. You can try a good variety of sushi and not kill your bank account in the process.
We had the Calamari as an appetizer - it wasn't what I expected. I expected a big pile of greasy fried calamari rings, which is what most restaurants serve. Not here! We got a plate of maybe 8 long strips of calamari that was very lightly fried to the perfect texture and taste. It was so good!
For sushi, we ordered:
Tootsie Roll
Spicy Tuna
Tunamax
Las Vegas
I rate sushi places by their spicy tuna and this one definitely gets 4 stars - I really enjoyed it, it had the perfect amount of subtle heat to it, tasty tuna, and was overall really good. The tunamax was also really good, this was my favorite roll we tried!
The tootsie roll is a favorite usually, as I love eel. It was decent, but not the most flavorful. Will probably try something different next time.
The Las Vegas roll was a hit at our table. We ordered 2 orders of this one for 4 people and it was the first one totally gone. Warm, cream cheese, salmon, avocado... mmm! I don't usually like tempura fried rolls but this one definitely melts in your mouth (although it's a huge roll, so you'll first have to figure out how to get it in your mouth! haha).
We also had the house sake, which was a little strong for me but mixed with some Kirin Light it definitely hit the spot.
I love the wide selection of sushi on the menu. I look forward to going back and trying more soon! Glad to have found this place. Go check it out and post your favorite rolls too!
