$15 sounds hefty but the roll reflects its price.īy comparison, the “Andy 2 Roll” smacks of plainness (perhaps I should have tried this one first, before the other fiery one numbed my tongue) but that’s kind of nice too-at least you can taste the fresh fish, without all the torrid palate-torturing spices. A little dipping bowl of “spicy ponzu” sauce comes with it, giving it even more flavor that it doesn’t need. Spicy tuna, tart lemon slices and chili powder are just a few of the key ingredients in this formidable roll, which bristles with shaved bonito on top. The Comfort Roll may sound placid, but the pungence of its contents contradict. I am adventurous with sauces, but I wasn’t in the mood to shout over the din and question the chef what exactly is money sauce, and somehow mustardy goop didn’t sound like it would pair well with deep-fried lobster in a sushi roll, so I settled for the less crazy-sounding (but still creative!) choices. Names like Rollz Royce Roll and Grey Poupon Roll jump off the page, screaming ingredients such as “money sauce” and-you guessed it-Grey Poupon mustard.
A DJ spins cool cacophony from a corner booth and a menu filled with creatively named items tempts you to read every exasperatingly fun description. It’s a long trek anyhow from the hubbub of Old Town, where visitors wander about and Mexican restaurants dominate the food scene.īut even out-of-towners like myself are greeted and treated like family here the staff is friendly and efficient as they seat you in the plushy lounge-like dining area or at the oversize sushi bar. As in miso soup and Harney Street in San Diego where the restaurant sits, what were you thinking?Īlthough cleverly named as if to attract tourists, this sushi bar is really more of a local’s hangout.
