Sushi

giving you all one of my favorite happy hour spots to go to. this lounge is the perfect place to unwind after a long work day and also for date nights. i recommend going on a Friday night for the perfect vibe and end to a productive work week.

-Mon-Fri

$6 sushi specials

$5 wine and rail drinks

$6 specialty cocktails and mojitos

hookah is also served here if you’re into that!-

three words for all considering the lychee martini: proceed with caution. i ordered two of these, completely blanking on the fact that i had wine earlier, making it a very fun yet very interesting night.

dragon roll- spicy tuna , grilled eel, jalapeño, pickled ginger and sriracha sauce

a new favorite of mine is this jalapeño roll; typing this as i am reminiscing about the spice this roll gave me. next time i go here i’ll be sure to order two of these rolls.

gazuza roll- crab, salmon, shrimp tempura and spicy mayo

gazuza roll is the signature roll (think shrimp tempura with a twist). the sauce on top is something i think should come with all sushi.

lasagna roll- shrimp tempura, cream cheese and spicy crab

my go-to roll is the lasagna roll. i know it sounds odd, but hear me out: the cheese melted on top is amazing and it belongs. if you’re open to new flavors and combinations, try it and let me know how you like it (seriously, i’m interested in your opinions).

you can never go wrong with a refreshing mojito. the person i was with ordered three.

with the music playing and the drinks flowing, you’re bound to leave feeling even better than when you walked in.
