Sushi Nine was a TEN!


Want a place to look fine and dine? How about you try Sushi Nine! 



Sushi Nine located is located at 3812 Western Boulevard. This restaurant caught my attention for their everyday deal of buy one get one free of equal or lower value. This is great because you can go with your friends and spilt a deal! 



"Don't judge a book by its cover." When first pulling into Sushi Nine it doesn't its best, but when you go inside and turn the corner the expression on your face will change. The first thing I noticed was the bar. It hadnice settle but bright blue lighting underneath.  The space it had for seating and the lighting was just right. With it being spacious enough, you don't feel like you're sitting on top of one another in the restaurant. It is definitely a fun but very relaxed atmosphere.




From the selection being easy to read with it being in alphabetical order, I chose Sexy Girl as my first choice. It consist of Shrimp tempura, cucumber, avocado topped with spicy crab. I'm so glad I had a fork for this monster because my chopsticks couldn't handle how big it was. 


For my second choice I choose the Lobster Roll. Inside the Lobster Roll there was lobster tempura, cucumber, avocado, and spicy mayo topped with masago. This one was my favorite out of the two. I loved the kick it gave with the spicy mayo. It definitely made my taste buds want more and more.



My waiter was great. He made sure I had everything I needed and even made a couple of jokes which made him get bonus points for being so nice.

Dalia Dahir, a student at Peace College said that she likes going to Sushi Nine because, " it's always buy one get one free and that it's super yummy! Everyone that works there is super friendly." Her favoirte sushi is the Philadelphia Roll. 


Sushi Nine is a ten and I definitely recommend going in.

I've got the Sushi Blues


When I hear the word Sushi you can count me in!

Back in middle school when I tried Sushi for the first time, I have never been able to let go of such an addiction. 







When it comes to cooking the right home cooked meal, whether it is for lunch or dinner I always choose my closes Harris Teeter. It always has the best and the most fresh butcher, fisherman, food and farmers market.

One thing I find unusual about your local Harris Teeter is that it sells Sushi. Who would have thought? It comes out fresh everyday. You also have the variety to choose from so you're not just stuck with the everyday California Roll. This being my first time ever trying Harris Teeter Sushi may sound crazy for how much of a fan I am as well as how quick and convenient it can be. 


After branching out and trying the Crunchy Shrimp Roll with avocado and cucumber, I'm sad to say I got the Sushi Blues and was very disappointed. I felt like the ingredients were almost too mushy, which made it taste not "oh so delicious." You also aren't able to taste that little crunch you get from the avocado and cucumber. 

Tonya Carter says, "That she thinks most of it's okay from Harris Teeter, but if she had to choose her favorite would be the Philadelphia roll.

I'd rather spend the same amount of money at a restaurant that makes Sushi with more choices then paying for your typical grocery store brand.
