Sushi King
Hungry for some Japanese food at an incredible price? Head on over to Sushi King.
They have a full service sushi bar as well as lots of seats for diners. You can even have them keep your bottle of saké for you behind the bar.
They've got a midnight special that won't break the bank or your wallet. The dinners are served with tonjiru-style miso soup that has lots of tasty ingredients...pork, onions, daikon (Japanese white radish), carrots, green onions, potatoes and kuro konnyaku (devil's tongue gelatin). Check this out!
Tonight I have the chirashi special (US$11.45). This loosely translates to "scattered sushi". What I get tonight is a treat! I've got toro (fatty tuna), hokkigai (surf clam), and seared maguro (tuna) sashimi (sliced raw fish). I also have ama ebi (sweet shrimp), maguro (tuna) and hirame (flounder) nigiri sushi. Also included is sushi meshi (which is rice flavored with a combination of rice-wine vinegar, sugar and salt), tamago (which is a slightly sweet, Japanese-style scrambled egg), kaiware (radish sprouts), tobiko (flying fish roe), shredded daikon (Japanese white radish) and shiso (perilla or beefsteak) leaf.
Also popular are the combination platters (US$7.45), these are served with rice, salad that's topped with a miso dressing and your choice of California roll or inari sushi (sushi rice stuffed in a deep-fried tofu pocket). Tonight we have the shrimp and vegetable tempura with California roll:
There are 2 pieces of shrimp and one piece each of broccoli, potato and zucchini tempura.
As usual, we also have a side order of chicken karaage (deep-fried) (US$4.95) that's served with lemon.
If you're looking for some delicious Japanese food at a reasonable price (and at a late hour!), look no further than Sushi King.
