Located in Southwest Austin, we found a place
that had the best quality sushi for a decent happy hour price.

Let's start things up with the sushi bar:

We sat up here and ordered,
and with the quickness, 3 sushi chefs rolled us up 6 rolls.
The place looks fancy.
The regular prices on the menu were way out of
our league.
Good thing that we did our research and went
during happy hour. We even had our list ready to go.
Just walked in there like we own the place
and dropped the list to our waitress.
"Bring the sake, please.
And extra wasabi."
We literally ordered extra wasabi.
I guess it wasn't as lethal as other places.

Let's get on with the rolls:

We had a few variety.

The favorite:

Tempura Roll
This had a nice meaty mixture but it didn't taste fishy.
A little crunch by some of the veggies.
It was filling and great flavors that made us want more.

Spicy California Roll

The best California roll we've had. A little strong

and was the cheapest on our happy hour menu.

$3.95 for this roll. Beat that cheap quality H.E.B rolls.
Well, to be honest, there's some H.E.B. locations

that make them better than others.

But the point is, something like this would cost

6 to 7 bucks somewhere else.


The Las Vegas Roll

This looks exactly the same as the Tempura Roll.

The difference, this one has cream cheese.

Can't go wrong with cream cheese.
Whoever invented putting cream cheese on sushi

is a true genious.
Fried rolls are always good.
This was the most expensive roll on the happy hour

menu ($6.95).

Above here we have a Philly Roll and to the right is

Spicy Salmon.
The Philly roll hit the nostrils with the wasabi.

Nothing else to say about the Philly,

but it was good.
The Spicy Salmon roll almost killed us.
Just a tad of wasabi was enough to bring a big kick

out that salmon.
Almost had to call an ambulance.
Life flashed before our eyes.

Are we ever going to get to that next roll?

We sure did:

The Crunchy Roll
It was a good idea to try this one after that lethal

spicy salmon roll.
This one had a sweet kick to it.
Not sure what it was.

But, it was nicely balanced.

There you have it.

These were great quality sushi and

they were on the happy hour menu.

We glanced over at the regular menu where

they have like 20 other special rolls.
If we thought we were in heaven

with the rolls on the happy hour menu,

imagine how the others rolls would be like.

Heaven times 300.
But, we're low budget, so we held our head up high

and walked out.

Final words:

For the price of happy hour, this is the best quality

sushi we've had yet.
