^-^* Sushi Adventures - Sushi Town ^-^*

An idea was suggested to me by a good friend - why not add quick reviews to the blog? Nothing too long, just short and terse, and something about sushi!

Well, this is the start of the Sushi Adventures series of blogs - a quick review of sushi restaurants, be it sushi-go-rounds or otherwise.


Let's start with our review of Sushi Town! Remember, this is just a 'trial run' - open to comments and suggestions. :-)

Sushi Town, located in the Tanasbourne Town Center is a nice, little sushi-go-round restaurant. I must admit that this was the place where I got over my sushi-snobbishness (I didn't really like sushi until just recently). One thing I noticed right off the bat is the place is quite clean. The staff are also very nice, polite,(Irashaimase!) and provide good service.

With regards to the food, I'm sold on this place. My favorites are their Town Roll (3 pieces), Mackerel Nigiri (2 pieces), and Salmon Roll (6 pieces).

Fear not, non-fans of raw food, they do have cooked selections, like fried shumai, baked stuffed mushrooms, fried calamari, and another favorite of mine, the Fried shrimp (Tempura) Roll.

They also serve 'custom' or special menu orders. You can order these over the counter and just mention it to the sushi chef and he/she will have it ready for you in no time.

Desserts are standard fare too, either on the conveyor (cakes, fruits) or you can order ice cream over the counter.

Price-wise, it is a little bit up there, with prices ranging from $1.45-$2.55. Sushi-go-rounds have their color-coded plates and each color has its own price designation - which bring up a little nitpick of mine. The place only has 3 color plates to stretch out their price range. It would be cool if they can add more options.

Sorry, no happy hour here folks, and price is pretty standard throughout the week. You do get a free 'sushi' dish if you are there and its your birthday. Just show proof, and you get your 'surprise'. I wonder if they give you a giant tuna roll or something?

So to summarize, here's my take on Sushi Town (scored 1-5, 5 being excellent, 1 being bad):

Food:5
The food is freshly and properly made, taste is really good. And the tea is free and refillable!

Price:4
I'd say the priciest so far, compared to other sushi-go-rounds, but it reflects in quality.

Selection:4
Wish they had more selection - Takoyaki...*cough-cough*.

Service:5
Friendly staff, from servers to the chefs.

Appearance/Presentation:5
The place is really clean and well lit.

Overall:5
Am I biased-schmiased for this? Perhaps, but quite frankly, I won't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone, anytime.

Itadakimasu!! :-D
