Sushi Cafe

This past Thanksgiving was excessive in a number of ways. The holiday eating extended far into the weekend. Fortunately, it gave me the opportunity to discover the best sushi place I’ve been to in a while: the Sushi Cafe.

The plan was to go to Futami’s, a delicious (if a little pricey) Japanese place on the corner of Fruitridge and Freeport, with a few friends. However it was closed, much to our chagrin. Dismayed, my friends and I began driving aimlessly down Freeport towards Oto’s market, searching for an alternate. We found it a little ways down Freeport, located on the right hand side just before Sutterville road.

The Sushi Cafe is pretty much a hole in the wall joint. On the inside it’s small, with probably only about 11 or 12 tables. The food was great, best udon I’ve ever had. However, what makes this restaurant amazing were the prices. 6 bucks for udon? Really? I’m there.

The nigiri is also well priced, averaging $2.50 for two pieces. The rolls are also very reasonable. They are big, fresh, and delicious. At between $5.00 to $11.00 a roll, they are also a fantastic deal.

The next time your in the Freeport area, be sure to check out Sushi Cafe. It’s worth the trip, especially if you’re looking for a good deal.

I’m still trying to get the hang of this…

I was reading the latest issue of “Sacramento” magazine today when I realized that I hate the food critics in this town. Not just the “Sacramento” magazine critic, but also the Sacramento News & Review and Sacramento Bee critics. It’s nothing personal, I just think their reviews are terrible.

Maybe “terrible” is too strong a word.

What I mean to say is that they are speaking to a certain demographic. I feel left out.

At first, I was considering doing an all out restaurant review blog. However, being that I like sushi more than almost every other type of food, it has become a Sacramento sushi review blog. Aimed at students, in Sacramento and the surrounding areas, who enjoy sushi.

More to come.
