more adventurous: part deux.

11/03/2009

tonight i had dinner reservations for 10 at Volcano Sushi & Grill. it was nice. i was vegetarian for maybe 7 years until this year, i started eating fish. id never had sushi before and to be quite honest i was terrified and disgusted by the idea of it. but due to peer pressure i gave in and had my first experience tonight. it was good.

on the advice of my personal sushi mediators, Brittney, John and Lauren, i kept my order simple, yet daring for a sushi novice such as myself. i ordered a “dinner box?” which included a soup, salad, and 3 choices of sushi type things off this huge list. i chose spicy tuna rolls, volcano rolls, and shrimp tempura rolls. it was a lot more food than i expected really. $20 got me a soft drink, a soup, a salad and this:id taken a couple bites by the time the picture was taken. i liked it all. the tuna rolls were my least favorite. i really liked the tempura and volcano rolls though. i had to force it all down, it was surprisingly filling. MSG? and i don’t throw away food so… I’m stuffed. i guess since we were there with such a large party, and the economy sucks they gave us some free appetizers to butter up hopeful return customers. it worked, the appetizer was awesome. i don’t remember exactly what it was called. happy face, or happy feet or something. it was really good though, actually, that was the best thing i ate. all in all i enjoyed it and will eat more sushi in the future. it was pretty good. not TOO expensive really. backed.

I’m told by certain food critics that Volcano is not the place to break greens if you’re a sushi noob. but i thought it was good, so hopefully it only gets better as you graduate onto better sushi joints.

    Hahaha my fork. I made sure it was in the shot too. Fuck chop sticks. I could’ve been a savage and ate with my hands I guess.
