Mouthful / Priscilla Tsai Another look at Fiji Sushi Bar & Lounge
Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 3:58 PM
If you are feeling adventurous, try ordering omakase style at Fiji Sushi Bar & Lounge. "Omakase" is a Japanese phrase which means "it's up to you," which means to leave the menu selection up to the chef. He'll surprise you with his best sashimi and Asian fusion dishes. Check out the items Executive Chef Marlon Caycho prepared during my last visit to Fiji:
Among the dishes were soft shell crab, crab cakes with wasabi tartare sauce, Japanese lobster tail, lamb shanks, and more. I'd say the refreshing octopus salad and the rich dos leches cake were my favorite dishes that night.
