Sushi Ya - A Father's Day Lunch

This Father's Day, sushi was the consensus. My mother has been talking about Sushi Ya for a while so she insisted we go there. I hear many many things about restaurants, however, good value always strikes a chord with me(and at least 1 other person I know, you know who you are)!

We started with sushi, as always. I chose Pink Tuna, Yellowtail and Toro. The fish portions were nice for the price and the quality is good. This ended any sort of order, I went straight to a roll next.

This was the Tuna Bakudan, it was good however it could have been great. One thing I noticed, they use a lot of sauce and it can sometimes overwhelm everything else. The sauce itself, a spicy mayo is delicious with just the right amount of heat! The tuna was just spicy enough and the crunch from the tempura added a nice texture. The portions were nice again, just ease up a bit on the sauce. Appetizer time, yes there is no order here...deal with it. I did and I was still full afterwards.

The Soft Shell Crab was unbelievable and unlike a previous place I reviewed, I received the entire crab. It was served hot with a crisp outside and soft tender inside. The crunch from the batter was amazing and made me very happy. This one is a winner! On to the special rolls.

I chose the Magma roll and the Tornado roll. As you can see, The Magma roll on the top also has too much sauce. One quarter the sauce would have made this much better.. it made the roll to heavy. The roll itself was wonderful with tender sweet crab, cream cheese and the almighty avocado. The Tornado was a wonderful roll, simple and a good price! Smoked eel, shrimp, crab and cucumber with masago on top. What a treat and again, nice portions for the price.

Everything was good, some was great but not everything was great. I will definitely go back for another round though, you can count on it!
