The Chinese Sushi Place
Okay, I"ve lived in this neighborhood for more than 7 years, and I've never eaten at this restaurant: All Season's Sushi.... until tonight!
Every time I pass by, I can't get past the fact that it's a Japanese Restaurant with a Chinese Take-Out deli in the front. That's just wrong! It's one or the other in my book: Good Chinese food, or good Japanese food. When you combine the two, how good could it really be? Plus, everyone that works there is Chinese! (which is okay, I guess, but it kind of reminds me of when I used to see the Chinese restaurants at the Food Courts in the Mid-West, and how none of the workers there were Chinese. It always made me question the authenticity of the food.)
Then Omar and Lora told us that it was their new favorite sushi spot. I still couldn't believe it. I couldn't get past the not-good-looking Chinese food in the front window. How could the sushi in the back be any good?
But tonight we caved, and met Lora and Omar at All Season's Sushi. We'd heard so much about it for the past year or so, that the time had come to try it out.
Our first impression when we walked in: the staff we very friendly, and very knowledeable. Always a good thing! Next came the sushi: Omar ordered for the table. I think he ordered 4 different rolls from the Daily Special board. All of the rolls were amazing! Really tasty, and unusual combinations!
Dick and I were almost embarrassed that we've lived here this long, yet had never been. But of course, all we had to do was look at the front of the restaurant towards the Chinese Deli. I still think that's weird.
Nonetheless, we'll be regulars at All Season's Sushi now. It was excellent sushi, and was quite reasonable, too!
I can't speak for the Chinese deli yet - that's a whole other experience that I'm not quite ready for yet ;)
