So I guess a few months or so back a new sushi restaurant opened down town on Kirkwood St right across from Nick's Bar. Since I'm always up for trying a new sushi place Bruce and I went there for dinner tonight.
It's a small joint with a modest menu offering your standard sushi fare along with heaping plates of teriyaki and bowls of udon served up with one of my favorite fried foods of all time--egg rolls.
I got my usual fare, a couple of spicy tuna rolls and just for fun, some spicy salmon too. The salmon was pretty good and generously portioned in the roll. The tuna was also quite good, but then again I've never met a spicy tuna roll that I didn't like. Bruce decided to try the spicy octopus roll. He offered my some and I tried it expecting not to like it... my previous encounters with octopus left me gnawing on a rubbery tentacle wondering if I had accidentally eaten a balloon instead. This was not so. The octopus tentacle was quartered and rolled up and was not in the least bit rubbery and chewy. It actually had quite a nice flavor to it as well. It was quite a pleasant surprise.
The sushi is reasonably priced from $4-$5 a roll depending on what you get. I didn't quite pay attention to the prices of the teriyaki but I think a bowl of beef udon runs about $9 and that's not bad at all considering it's a big ol bowl of beef noodle soup.
The only thing... I forgot the name of the place...I wanna say something like C&Z sushi and steak but I don't know.
Oh well. Who cares. It was damn tasty.
