On our way to the Lucky Lab for pints and we saw Wasabi Sushi next door and decided we would prefer sushi for dinner. Full disclosure, I'm not a sushi fan, but the friend I was with is. I'm a huge fan of Bamboo Sushi and know their menu well, know what I love, what I crave.
Here, I was a fish out of water, pun totally intended!
The rolls were different combos and I'm super picky about raw fish. For example, not a fan of raw salmon and there is a lot of this on the menu. Love cooked crab, but don't like the immitation crab, which they had. Don't want cream cheese in my roll; lots of theirs had this. You get the picture!
With lots and lots of help from the very sweet and patient young lady at the cash register, I went for the Spider Crunch Roll which gets its name from the real soft shell crab, deep fried, with some of the legs are sticking out of the roll. Combined with avocado, cucumber and crunchy lettuce, it was very good.
My friend choose the Spicy Dragon which had spicy tuna, avocado and cucumber with a sweet eel sauce. She loved it.
The rolls come in ten pieces so they were substantial. My only complaint is that they were not rolled tight enough. The pieces were two-bite slices rather than one-bite, and when you picked it up with the chopsticks, it fell apart making it difficult to eat that 2nd bite.
Other than that, happy to have found this fairly new sushi place close to my home and in an area of SE Portland that I frequent.
