New Sushi Spot
Sushi Express on 50th and the Ave has a new owner and it really shows. Jules and I went out tonight in search of our favorite spider rolls when we decided to go for sushi on a train. However, when we got to Sushi Express, there was no train. Feeling a little disappointed, we decided to go in any way to order off the menu.
First off their new menu is pretty sweet. I mean, there’s like over fifty different rolls (the owner’s specialty) listed and the prices were all pretty reasonable. And the menu has more than just your typical spicy tuna roll. For example, we got this cucumber, mango, shrimp roll that was surprisingly really good. Who would’ve thought? Then Jules ordered her spider roll and I ordered my sake nigiri. However, we were soon to find out what else made this place so great: size. These weren’t little finger food rolls. We found ourselves eating the sushi with our hands because it was hard to pick it up with chopsticks. Plus I got free refills on miso!
After we finished eating our food, we had a talk with the new owner (who was also the roller) who wanted feedback on his newly drafted menu, prices, and roll sizes. After giving him the thumbs up and finishing a grapefruit roll he gave us to try, Jules and I left thoroughly stuffed. And for only $14 between the two of us, I can deal without having a train. Bottom line: If you’re in U-District looking for some sushi, mosey up to Sushi Express.
