Miso Hungry for Mura

 Mura is located at 4121 Main at North HIlls St.  Mura is located to the right of the Renaissance Hotel. 

The menu has a great easy to read selection. Not only does it have the description of the sushi roll but a clear colored image of what the actual sushi looks like.




I find this easier and more appealing because I get to see what I'm actually going to have on my plate right in front of me.



While reading about the sushi roll it is very descriptive in letting you know what's inside, on top and covered in and on the sushi roll.






                             




Mura holds a special everyday of buy one roll get the next roll half off.

Maddie Carney a student at Peace College said, "I enjoyed the Screaming "O" for more reasons than just the riske name. It is like heaven in your mouth."

                                             





The seating is really great at Mura. Along with a great area for outside seating, in the front the restaurant is a bar with seating room around it along with other tables for two to four people. When you make your way to the back you notice on the sides there are tables for six sitting low to the ground with walls in between the rooms for a little more privacy for dinner with family and friends. All the way back to the dining area you notice the lighting getting a little darker. With dim lighting and romantic feel, Mura is definitely a sushi date night go to.


The service at Mura was great. Not only did my waiter make sure I was doing good but the manager and the hostess herself came to my table. My waiter was very friendly and attentive. He made sure my glass was always filled with water and made sure my sushi was to my expectation.

$14.00

My waiter told me the Screaming "O" was a real popular sushi roll. After hearing about this from a student at Peace College and the waiter suggesting it I knew I had to try it. Screaming "O" includes, Spicy tuna and shrimp tempura inside seared tuna on top served with creamy "O" sauce and eel sauce.

After taking my first bite into this creamy, spicy, fresh sushi roll my mouth was drooling for more. My plate was demolished so fast even my waiter couldn't believe it.

Next time I'm "miso hungry for sushi," I will definitely go back for more.

Sushi Blues or Sushi Blah?

  

When I walked in I had the option to sit at the bar, sushi bar or in the dining area. With lots of different places to sit and great people working there I am sad to say the sushi doesn't own up to the restaurant itself. 

The waiter I had at Sushi Blues was very friendly and really helped me make my decisions easier while choosing the sushi I wanted. He told me the most popular sushi then I chose one that sounded different to me.

What made their menu unique is on one side of the menu they had sushi rolls named after celebrities.

                                        The two I chose were the Wolfpack and the Dylan roll.

Jami Upchurch a student at Peace College said, " I don't really like Sushi Blues because I don't feel like the sushi isn't as fresh as other places and it's a little over rated because it's cheap for the college crowd. I rather have quality sushi than a social outlet." 

The Wolfpack has crab, tempura flakes, asparagus, avocado, sesame seeds, spicy mayo, and tobiko.

The Dylan had tuna, cream cheese, avocado, cucumber, roe, and sesame seeds.

I was disappointed in not one but both of my sushi rolls. While trying to dig my way through the sushi to even find the fish I choose it did not taste fresh at all. 

When I took my first bite into my Wolfpack sushi roll all I could taste was the seaweed, rice, and a crunch of nothing. There was really no flavor at all. 

While eating the tuna roll I thought my cream cheesed would be smothered all around the inside of the sushi instead it was a block. It was like biting down into cream cheese by itself. It was not appetizing. 

After all said and done, I do not recommend Sushi Blues.  

Sushi O? You Should Definitely GO!

Sushi-O Bistro & Sushi Bar is located at 222 Gleenwood Avenue.

The atmosphere inside is a little fancier then the other sushi restaurants I have been too and smaller, but that doesn't mean the sushi isn't good.

A regular customer said, "This is one of my favorite sushi restaurants to come to because the sushi is so good" She is from San Diego, CA and she said, "There you can't communicate with the sushi chief like you can here. I like to be able to tell the chief what I want myself not to a waitress."  Also, really loves the atmosphere inside. 

What I gained from the employees that work there is that all of them are very friendly and talkative. It's almost as if you could gain a friendship with one of the employees before leaving.

Here is a one side only of all the their options of Sushi. To make my decisions easier I always ask my waitress/waiter what the their most popular roll is then I choose one of my own that sounds yummy to the tummy.

 The sushi at the bottom of the picture is their popular roll, "The Tigress." This was very soft, crunchy  with a double kick of spice after eating a bite all in one.  Inside was spicy tuna, tempura with a crunch, avocado topped with seared tuna, scallion and spicy mayo. I can see why it is the most popular. This roll of sushi is priced at $13.95.


The sushi  at the top of this picture you see a lot going on. Hints the name, " Crazy Salmon." Inside this crunchy, sweet, spicy sushi has crab, cream cheese that is deep fried topped off with spicy mayo, hot sauce, massago, asparagus, and salmon. This sushi is priced at $14.95. This one was my favorite out of the two.


Sushi-O? You should definitely go! You won't be disappointed.

Yo-Ho Asian Bistro is a GO!

Yo-Ho Asian Bistro is located at 8240 Tyron Woods Drive in Cary, North Carolina.

When I sat down and was given the menu I was a bit overwhelmed with all the choices. Little did I know there was a back side too to make my decision even harder because everything sounded delicious.













When it came to my decision I tried one of their popular ones called, "The Lion King Roll" inside this monster was spicy salmon, crabstick, inside masago toped with avocado, shrimp tempura, eel sauce and spicy mayo. After taking one big bite of this sushi my taste buds were screaming for more. It was absolutely delicious.

I've realized when it comes to trying sushi no matter how different and non-appetizing the description of the sushi may be you should definitely branch out and try it. For my second choice I tired the "Bagel Role." Inside it included: smoke salmon, cream cheese cucumber rolled fried and crispy. Served with eel sauce and spicy mayo. The first bite into this you can feel the crunch in your teeth with the cream cheese running through your mouth.

They were both so delicious but might I add, while going to eat sushi have a friend with you to help you munch on that deliciousness going in your mouth. You will get full way too fast with big and completely different sushi rolls.  I would suggest if you get something a little heavier make your second roll something simple.

 There is extra seating in the bar area. While sitting there you could probably catch a glance of them making the sushi right in front of you. There is also a lot more comfortable seating in the restaurant to your best comfort.

The service was great. My waitress was very friendly and told me to take my time looking over the menu of Sushi since there were so many choices. She took the time to tell me the what the most popular different sushi's there are at the restaurant and went into detail about the ones I was interested in.


Yo-Ho here you should go, and try Asian Bistro!
