Futomaki sushi & hibachi

Futomaki is one of the best Japanese restaurants. The rolls are perfectly rolled which means there’s a little space between the rice. The rice perfectly seasoned. Every dish was executed the way Japanese food is supposed to be made. One may enjoy the all you can eat life where the hustle and bustle of people from all walks of life, feast OR go to this hidden gem. You’re missing out if you don’t try Futomaki and the only warning I have is that once you go, you may never enjoy sushi anywhere else ever again.

Now, I have only been once and the key to a successful restaurant is consistency. I will be back again within a few weeks and will report again.

Our order: Mitch’s special - my recommendation is don’t add more soy sauce. The chef seasoned the lobster and paired it with a wasabi soy.

Negimaki- be careful. It’s very heat hot and perfectly seared. There’re 6 pieces. The teriyaki caramel on the beef of the seared edge is like no other.

Hibachi - We ordered the steak and shrimp, steak medium rare, and my goodness… it was so good. A good fried rice has a little bounce in the pebble and the salty and sweet tango in your mouth. This fried rice was the best I’ve ever had.

We had another roll which had cucumber wrapped around the freshest sashimi grade fish served with a side of dark sauce that tasted like eel sauce which isn’t actually made from eel but the glaze sushi bars add to fresh water and sea water eel. After asking for wasabi, I realized the chef didn’t want us to add wasabi to this culinary delight. Needless to say, it was excellent! But if you don’t like raw fish, then stay away. It’s pretty mild but you must have each piece in one bite.

Last, we finished with a green tea tempura ice cream. It was glorious. So satisfying. Crispy warm tempura with a cold ice cream… mmmmmm

Anyways, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt the need to review a restaurant where I felt completely satisfied. If you’re interested in dining together and trying out our favorite spots, friend me @minkcraves.
