B287RP installment 2: Sushi Aji

The restaurant project has been on hold since February, first because we were out of town and then because restaurants had to shut down their dine-in services. However, we decided that takeout should count even though I can't report on the ambience, décor, or service at the actual restaurant. The food is the most important thing, right?

We ordered over the phone shortly before 6 p.m. on a Monday night. The order was ready in 25 minutes, and G drove over for a contact-free pickup (he had to go inside and get the bag off the counter). If we hadn't been so hungry, I might have warmed up the gyoza, but they were good even lukewarm and had a nice dipping sauce, a little thicker than some I've tried in the past. I liked that because there was less spatter! The house salad was basic, just greens and carrots (no cucumbers even though they are in the menu description), but had a very nice ginger dressing.

All of the sushi rolls were delicious. I liked the simple yellow tail roll because the fish was fresh and delicious. The rainbow roll is basically a California roll with salmon, tuna, whitefish, and avocado layered on top. What's not to like? The demon roll has tempura shrimp and avocado inside and is topped with lobster salad, seared Cajun tuna, and spicy mayo sauce. It was just mildly spicy, and the combination was very good.

We'll definitely be returning to try more of the dishes from the extensive menu!
