After my first day of work, I was beat. Not only had I gotten downtown forty minutes before I was scheduled to start work - mostly due to me not being able to read a bus schedule - but I had also put in a nine hour day after two and a half weeks of sitting around on my butt, “vacationing.” All of the new terms and things I had to wrap my head around left my brain mushy and I was not up to cooking my standard gourmet meal.
So, I convinced the husband that sushi was a perfect idea, and there was a place right around the corner! Kyushu is nestled into a strip mall, between an Applebee’s and an out-of-business Blockbuster.
A few other couples were there - not too many people. It’s a definite hole-in-the-wall place.
We half watched the hibachi demonstration - it’s the same everywhere. Once you see it once, it loses a whole lot of something. One little kid was scared by the giant fireball they do in the beginning. I think she may have gotten a little singed because she was awful close the the work surface. If you’re into hibachi, or know someone who has never seen it, it’s a treat to watch your friend rather than the chef.
I ended up ordering three rolls because it wasn’t all that expensive. They came to me on a very prettily arranged plate. I eyed the small ball of wasabi. I was not impressed with it’s size. I’m a big fan of spicy food that cleans out the inside of your sinuses, so I LOVE wasabi. The amount they game me ended up being juuuust enough to please me.
The first roll I tackled was your standard Avocado roll. I really should know better by now than to order these. I’m much more a fan of sushi rolls with rice on the outside, not nori. I have to admit they were pretty bland, but that’s pretty much what you get across the board, I suppose.
The second roll was an Ithaca Roll, which I will never again order from this place. The main ingredient was octopus and it was very much on the chewy side. I know octopus hard to make, but if it’s going to be your “signature” dish, work on the prep a little more.
The last roll I had was a Philadelphia Roll, which they actually managed to pull off pretty well. Normally you drown in cream cheese in those things, but this one was light and the smoked salmon was light and very flavorful.
All in all, I’ll probably not be going back as I’ve heard there’s a much better sushi place that delivers. The only thing stopping me from ordering there tonight is that Husband is on a home-cooked meal kick. I’ll have to suffer through until he’s done with it. Can’t wait to review the other establishment, though!
