OMG SUSHI!

Fact: I love fish.

Any kind I have tried (some more than others) but seafood pretty much rocks my world. Set anything down in front of me, look weird though it may, and I will at least try it.

As many of my friends would tell you, I have recently developed an addiction to Japanese cusine. A new sushi bar and hibachi grill opened across the street from Starbucks and now I cannot stop eating it. Slightly embarassed as I am to admit it, I have eaten there five…count them: 1-2-3-4-5 times…since it opened last Friday. Every time I have appeared with a different crowd of people. The waitstaff has noticed. I am now friends with the manager.

The atmosphere of this place is awesome. Nice, clean, inviting. There are several (8, perhaps?) hibachi grills. Across the koi pond, and a cute little wooden bridge, is the sushi bar. Here you can sit at the bar and watch the chefs make the sushi as you dine. Nifty. There is also regular dining, for any group who would like both styles of food. There are also private rooms which, behind pretty sliding doors, contain traditional Japanese tables.

The staff is friendly and attentive. Granted the place is brand new, so it’s possible that it might wear off, but as it stands now, they are far more inviting and interactive than other, similar places.

Oh! And one of my favorite aspects are the plates. Each plate the sushi is served on is different. There are fish shaped, shell shaped, inverted-edged rectangle plates, and so many other crazy things. I want my dish set to be as diverse.

My personal favorite sushi dishes: the Matsu roll, the Green River roll and the Golden Phoenix roll.

I will have to swear off eating here before long or I will have to choose between eating sushi and living in a home.

Ridiculous. Ridiculous and delicious.

So make fun as you will. Sushi is yummy. And I stand by that sentiment.
