Creative hand rolls & crudo with a hidden speakeasy bar
"The speakeasy-style cocktail bar Hidden at this sushi restaurant will give customers who present their rodeo ticket 10 percent off their order." - Brittany Britto Garley
"This origami-themed hand roll and crudo restaurant from the team behind Hidden Omakase started as a pop-up but has become a hot spot for a sushi fix in West U. Diners can watch as chefs assemble the hand rolls and crudo dishes inside the bar or turn their menus into an origami creation using the helpful neon light display. Menu highlights include the delicate hamachi crudo and zingy spicy scallop roll. Meanwhile, the queen of all hand rolls, the Menage Foie Gras, is a rich ending to the experience: It’s seaweed paper loaded with foie gras, toro, and A5 wagyu topped with uni, caviar, and gold flakes. Grab an after-dinner drink at its speakeasy, Hidden Bar, tucked behind the wall." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Roll into the Lunar New Year at this sushi spot in the West University area. Thursday, January 30, marks a night of festivities, including a spirited Lion Dance performance and live music by the Boys of Summer at 5 p.m. Pair the entertainment with sushi and themed cocktails for a night to remember. Drinks are 25 percent off all day." - Marcy de Luna
"Make a reservation at Norigami, a restaurant where hand rolls and crudo reign supreme. Then, slip into the Hidden bar, quite literally hidden behind an obscure door inside. Adhering to its theme of origami, the bar’s ceiling is decorated with hundreds of origami cranes and lit up with pink and purple fluorescent lighting. The drinks are just as pretty, with the Paper Crane, a mixture of bourbon, Jamaican rum, Jamaican bitters, aperol, Campari, and pineapple, coming in a nifty glass with a miniature paper crane as a garnish." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Norigami’s trendy, neon-lit sushi bar is a prime pitstop for hand rolls and cocktails thanks to its accompanying speakeasy cocktail lounge. Start with its hamachi or bluefin crudo before digging into the spicy scallops hand roll that’s an assembly of cucumber, chili garlic aioli, and tobiko, or its yellowtail hand roll that is laced with agua chile. Layered with a rich combination of uni, toro, wagyu, foie gras, caviar, and gold flakes, the Menage Foie Gras is the ideal “last, but not least” hand roll to finish the experience. Then, dip into the aptly named Hidden bar for cocktails." - Brittany Britto Garley
