I had sushi with my girlfriend at Ushi Wakamaru today. I’m not a big sushi lover, but I really enjoyed the food there. This is one of those places where the sushi is very fresh and authentic. My girfeind’s been there several times before so she knows on of the chefs pretty well. We sat at the bar and had a great time as he played around with us while preparing and serving us our food.
Last time I was there, we sat right in front of the chef. He prepared some sweet shrimp for us, soemthing I won’t forget. He took some live shrimp that were moving around and pretty much cut up the shrimps right in front of us. That took me quite by surprised. I don’t exactly like seeing my food moving in front of me right before I eat it. At least its fresh.
Our meal costs about $235 including tax and big tip. It sounds expensive, but for the quality of the fish, its not too bad. Idefinitly can’t afford to go here all the time, but I don’t mind going there once in a while to eat fresh good sushi (and after I save up enough money). My gilfriend is a sushi fanatic, and she loves that place. Check it out if your in the mood for some authentic fresh sushi, and you have a few (ok, a lot of) extra bucks saved up.
