Sushi Supreme

UPDATE:  December 2004
Sushi Supreme has closed.
Ninja Sushi now occupies this space.

Several days ago, I went out to lunch with a couple of friends from the office.  We ended up getting lunch from Sushi Supreme.

This is basically a take-out sushi place, however, they do have a few seats upstairs in a small cramped dining area (I think there maybe 12 seats there).  We decided to get our lunch to go and enjoy it outside in the nice warm sun.  I ordered the Creamy Ahi (tuna) Dynamite Roll (US$6.95)

Comparable in price to many other sushi restaurants, the only thing this place lacks is the ambiance.  Otherwise, the food you'll find here is on par with some of the best.  The sushi took a little while to be prepared, but at least it was fresh. 

This sushi is actually eight pieces of uramaki (reverse rolled) California roll sushi (imitation crab, avocado and cucumber).  The topping is made from ahi, mayonaisse, masago (smelt roe), sweet unagi (eel) glaze, Thai chilli sauce and a bit of sesame oil.  It's then baked and topped with sesame seeds.

The combination of flavors in this is just simply amazing.  No, it's definitely not sushi in the traditional sense, but it sure is delicious!  Have another look at this...

Sushi Supreme offers something for everyone from nigiri (hand-pressed) sushi to miso soup and more.  Although I can't eat this for lunch all the time, I do make it a point to come here at least once a month for some of the best lunchtime sushi around.

Hi Santos,

It is good, although it would probably taste better if were a little spicier. Let me know how it turns out.

Oh yes, that sushi is calling my name.

Hi Umami,

Thanks for stopping by. Whenever I see it, it calls mine too! That's why I need to stay away! =P Otherwise, I could eat this everyday.
