It's sushi time! We had a friend in town and decided we'd had enough of the run-of-the-mill sushi chains and headed to an independent restaurant for a different range of sushi.
We had a delightful time looking at the menu, deciding what to order and settled on quite a few different types of sushi, sashimi and grilled items with a range of salmon, yellow tail, toro, eel and the best plate of the night - the volcano roll. It was spicy, succulent and divine. The other highlight were the grilled mushrooms. Perfectly baked in tin foil, they were buttery and tasted even better with a dusting of chilli powder. We ventured out and tried a bacon wrapped lycée - it sounded like a good idea. Unfortunately the bacon let down the dish. It was the thick type of bacon and tasted a bit too much like a slab of ham.
The waiters lacked a little common sense and muddled up our orders quite a few times. If you have a table of five people, 3 pieces of salmon sushi is not going to be enough to fill hungry bellies. They did redeem themselves, in my books anyway, by "messing up" and bringing us two plates of volcano rolls instead of one. We happily paid.
My verdict, go for the volcano roll, but it's not a high restaurant on my list to return to. read more
