So I found myself with a group of friends, in Southern Tempe, with a craving for sushi. Looking to try somewhere new, we headed to Yelp... and then out to Sushi Eye because of it's Yelp rating (despite that we all agreed was a questionable name). During our meal, we decided that we needed to open a number of Sushi Eye franchises in Tokyo under the name "Sushi Americano" with the following criteria.
- Loud techno music
- Maki rolls that are deep fried
- Maki rolls that contain cream cheese or mayonnaise
- Nigiri rolls that use regular rice instead of sushi rice
I think we could make millions!
Okay, in all seriousness, I enjoyed the Golden California roll and Philly roll... I got to see what American Sushi would look like (a friend got the one chicken roll on the menu cause it's cooked) and although they didn't use sushi rice, I have it on good authority that the Nigiri was quite tasty.
If I could give Sushi Eye a 3.5 I would... but it's just not a 4 star sushi experience in my book.
