Some weeks, everything seems interesting and there's lots of fun to be had. And then, like this week past, it seems to be all angry, stupid people yelling and screaming (Real Loud!). Certainly, I'm often fond of ranting about said stupidity. But sometimes it all gets to be too much and even ranting loses its allure.
I know... shocking.
Fortunately, there's always sushi. We went back to Sushi Love and it was again excellent. Altho, FYI, Friday at 7 is not the best time to go if you want speedy service or a relaxed quiet atmosphere of ambiance. It was quite crowded and quite loud. Fortunately, they have enough space that the noise was more a background and never felt like it was crashing down on us, like it can in some spaces. And even though the sushi chefs were obviously slammed the wait staff was really good about letting us know what was going on, filling drinks, etc. Sushi Love focuses on the specialty rolls, like a lot of places around here seem to now. We had a crunchy tuna roll (spicy tuna and avocado topped with tempura flakes and eel sauce) and a sunset roll (crab, cucumber, and avocado topped with salmon and thinly sliced lemon). The crunchy tuna was the star of the evening. I tend towards being a sushi purist so I always want to get some nigiri too. Had unagi (always a fave), tai (never tried that before) -- both good. Sarah sad the hamachi was excellent. We split the maguro. Excellent fish but my piece wasn't cut as well as the others I tried. The only mild disappointment was the salmon skin roll. It was good (a reverse roll w/ some crunchy vegetable added) but didn't quite match what we'd expected.
