Sushi with Style

Sushi seems to be one of the best contributions that Asian culture has made to America. With this some places are better than others. Some ingredients are fresher than others, while some have better flavor combinations than others. Just because a sushi bar advertises half-off Tuesdays doesn’t mean that the sushi present is worth the four dollars. Other times the rolls themselves are small and you need to buy two or three to get your fill. But there is a high-quality restaurant with reasonably priced sushi that just might be classified as the best in town.

Happy Sumo is a chic restaurant where the waitresses wear all black and mauve draperies hang around the secluded booths with candle light. Outdoor patio seating is also available. The menu comes in a wide variety of Japanese cuisines. Appetizers are elegant and flavorful, not to mention coming in large varieties. Edamame, steamed soy beans with sea salt, are the most requested starter. Salads are also optional.

The sushi itself comes in four different forms. Nigiri sushi comes in twenty varieties with different kinds of fish and seafood, including octopus. The maki sushi comes in eighteen different kinds and six to eight pieces. Sashimi sushi comes in eight varieties. Happy Sumo has even created special combination platters combining different maki rolls and nigiri pieces.

The fourth and most requested form of sushi at Happy Sumo is the special roll. Special rolls come in forty different varieties and mix various vegetable, fish, and seaweed combinations with signature sauces. Entrees are also available for the non-sushi lover, including stir fry, chicken, beef, and seafood. And of course there is dessert, of six different kinds. But the Japanese mocha ball is the specialty.

Happy Sumo combines elegance and the sophisticated tastes of the Eastern world and brings them to a table set for two or more.
