I attended their bloggers night and got to sample all kinds of tasty goodness, including...
- Titan Tempur - Tempura shrimp, butter lettuce, pickled cucumber, shredded carrots, sweet Thai chili sauce (This tied for my favorite, crispy and spicy, warm and flavorful)
- RD Yoo - Poké marinated tuna, butter lettuce, pickled red onion, cucumbers, cucumber wasabi sauce (This was also my fave and was the closest I tried to a "regular" sushi roll, delish)
- Veggie Bender - Exotic mushroom blend, butter lettuce, charred cabbage, shredded carrots, pickled red onion, green onion jam (loved the creamy combination of flavors)
- Southern Sushi - Hickory smoked pork BBQ, creamy slaw, pork rinds, gochujang sauce (just like a BBQ sandwich transformed into sushi!)
I didn't get a chance to sample their other rolls including the most popular Bull City Bulgolgi (with korean BBQ beef), the Reel Alaskan (with sriracha salmon) or the Oh My Gahshi (with fried chicken and kimchi) but I can't wait to try them on my next trip.
Can't forget their rice chips - handmade, paper thin and super crispy in four flavors: original, wasabi, BBQ, and cinnamon sugar. Some chips were as big as my hand! It was hard not to inhale them!
What we loved: For sushi lovers like me, there is nothing better than more sushi! Having a kids menu is super inclusive too. And the prices were right. Did I mention the chips?
What we would change: I would love the addition of some specialty Asian sodas, like the kind you pop open with a marble, and maybe down the future sake and beer choices. When the weather is nice, outdoor tables would be a huge plus too!
