Oliver's Semi Regular Sushi review
As most people who know me well will tell you, Oliver has nothing but contempt for Japanese culture. Which is true, (notice the word culture after Japanese, I have no beef with the people, eccept of course Yoko Ono who is the embodiment of the corruption of art everywhere, and an example that even geniuses like Lennon can make stupid mistakes) however I do enjoy eating sushi (with chopsticks even, which are I'm glad to say Chineese, not Japanese).
So I've decided for lack of something better to write I would provide a review of Shushi Bars I go to and the rolls I try (I would try sashimi, but thats just a little more barbaric than I like to get)
The reviewed restaurant tonite is Happy Summo (located in Beautiful, yet cult controlled, Salt Lake City Utah, Gateway Shopping center for dinner it would be best to make a reservation)
The rolls
1. Suft and Turf - this roll was bland and boring, its got fish and steak (I dont eat beef, but my friend never told me it had beef till I had eaten one and mentioned it tasted funny). Honestly even if it didint have steak the roll was blah. Thank the Gods for Wasabe and Ginger, because most people like a little flavor when something enters their mouth.
2. Venus - I had to try this classic roll as an honor to the Goddess for whom it was named. the roll was prepared tempura style. I think they roll it, then they fry it, then they slice it. It was delightful. Not very spicy tho, and I did use some ginger on a couple of pieces. Mostly fish lobster rice and seaweed, I would eat this again
3. Death - this was my favorite roll for a long time, no fish, but tempura soft shell crabs and lots of spices (and rice and seaweed) very very good, but I could never eat the end pieces cause they have the crab claws sticking out and it kinda freaks me out. This roll has always been something that I order be at Happy Summo or Ichiban
4 Baja Roll - this is now my most favorite roll, fish and crab, rice with cilantro and avocado and just a hint of raw jalapeño. Oh this roll was delicious, I would say to die for, but I know Blowfish is illegal in this state. If you like sushi rolls and you like spicy this roll wins.
5. Edemame - Happy Sumo's edemame was either not fresh, or from a sickly plant, they oversalted the beans and they werent as crisp tasting as I like, still they did cleanse the palate between rolls.
My overall impression of Happy Sumo, yes I would recommend it to anyone and I would go there again.
