Happy Hour at Saki

On the way to meeting up with some friends for dinner, Saki's happy hour specials caught my eye. $3 beers - I think they were Miller Lite, Amstel Light, and Heineken - and 1/2 price sushi. Since we had half an hour before the agreed meeting time, we stopped in for a quick bite. Most of the rolls were around $3.5 and the nigiri were $1 per piece. Pretty nifty deal, I thought.

It's a very cute place, the color scheme is white and black with a very trendy feel. When you walk in you can sit in a lounge area off to the back right or you can head straight for the bar. We opted to sit at the bar where you can see your sushi being made. The service was prompt (they weren't busy at 6:00pm) and friendly.

We ordered a california roll, a spicy tuna roll, and a yellowtail and scallion roll and a couple of Amstel Lights. The beer was icy cold and delicious, as expected and the sushi was good beyond my expectations. The yellowtail tasted fresh, the california roll was packed with lots of avocado, and the spicy tuna was FABULOUS. I've had spicy tuna rolls at a hundred million places (not really, but a lot...you know what I mean), and this was one of the bestest. I feel that a lot of places don't chop/ground the tuna finely enough so you get big chunks of tuna, but Saki's spicy tuna mix was perfect! It was spicy and tuna-ey and sooooo yummy. We regretted not getting two of the spicy tuna rolls, but it left us wanting more, and that's always good. I'm so planning on going back for those, and you should come! Tasty tasty!!!!
