Nori Tacos with Salmon

Nori shell, avocado, wakame, tobiko, aji Amarillo sauce

The salmon on these small tacos is fresh and light, everything raw salmon should be. The wakame and tobiko compliment the salmon well, but the sauce itself could use some more character. Sadly the nori shell distracts from the texture of the dish and seems to only add a bland paper like addition.

Chicken Kaarage

Crispy chicken, tonkatsu bbq, chives, & kimchee leeks

Chicken is plump on the inside and just crispy enough on the outside. The sauce brings some solid flavor to the table, but if you’re a sauce enthusiast like me, you might find yourself wishing for a little more of that liquid gold. Still, it’s a tasty dish that flirts with greatness… just needs a bit more drizzle to seal the deal.

Tuna & Truffle

Goat cheese, steamed shrimp, krab salad, avocado, tuna, aji Amarillo & honey truffle on top

Goat cheese on sushi? Definitely a first but it felt right. The tangy creaminess of the goat cheese paired with shrimp created an unexpectedly rich base, while the drizzle of honey added a sweet twist that somehow tied it all together. The honey could’ve been a touch lighter to let the other flavors pop more, but overall, it was a bold, refreshing bite that redefined what sushi can be.
