I was really pleasantly surprised by Sushi 86! Being inside the Arcade downtown, I didn't expect much, but I had heard from a friend about their unique whisky tasting option, so my friends and I thought we'd give it a try. I'm so glad we did, because not only was the sushi delicious, but the whisky tasting was a fun, unique experience.
For sushi, I got the 3-way reverse cowgirl, with tempura shrimp, avocado, crab salad, spicy mayo, sweet soy, and the hot sauce that comes with it on the side. My friend got the ELS roll (Inside-out tempura shrimp and avocado roll with salmon + spicy mayo), and both of us were very satisfied by our rolls. They tasted very fresh, and they were a good size portion. For the whisky tasting, we got the second of the two options for the flight and got three, unique, Japanese whiskeys. Along with the flight, they gave us a pamphlet explaining the history and composition of each whisky, and gave us a paper and pen to record notes about each as we tried them. Knowing the history of each drink made it more fun, and we were able to take the pamphlets home with us after dinner.
The restaurant also had a great vibe, with good music, elegant decor, and excellent service. Overall, we had a great experience and will be coming back again!
