If I was all alone in the forest, and I farted.........would it make a sound?
Sushi Forest, a quaint sushi restaurant in Hawaiian Gardens, offers 20% off sushi & rolls daily and 50% off beer & sake Sat-Sun. Always a fan of trying new restaurants, especially when sushi is involved, I made it my mission to stop by for lunch.
Owner & sushi chef, Mark, is the entire, one-man army kitchen. He gave me recommendations on what rolls I should order, which I ended up selecting Mark's Roll (named after the chef, himself).
Complimentary miso soup was brought out. Unfortunately, edamame is extra.
Mark's Roll-
A spicy tuna roll, with green onion, yuzu wasabi sauce, Sriracha & wonderfully thick cuts of yellowtail, Mark's Roll was absolutely delicious! Did I mention the meticulously cut slices of yellowtail were thick? A large size roll, I enjoyed the heat of the Sriracha pairing with the fresh tuna & yellowtail. Factoring the 20% off, the totat including tax was only $7.48. Not bad, at all!
For those that don't care for fish, meat specials include-
Chicken bowl/$2.99
Beef bowl/$3.99
Chicken or beef plate/$4.99
Service was good. A woman seated me & brought out my miso soup & lemon water. She was quick with refills and clearing plates. To reiterate, Mark is the kitchen, so while I was the first one there and my food came out quickly, I'd imagine there could possibly be a long wait for your food to come out.
A small dining area has 2 booths & 4 tables, along with the sushi bar. 2 flatscreen TV's have the sports channels on. Booty-shaking KPOP pumps through the in-house speakers for your musical entertainment. Parking is in a private lot and not a problem.
Mark has plans to offer live chopped octopus in the future, which I'm ecstatic for because that's one my foodie to-eat list. Live sea cucumber is also on the radar. Currently, he has ginormous live shrimp, which for $9.99 each, will get you sashimi & soup made with the head.
Sushi Forest is a wonderful new, non-franchise, hole in the wall sushi restaurant that I'm excited to put on my food rotation. The Mark's Roll was constructed well & I could taste the flavor from the fresh fish & other ingredients. There may be a wait because Mark is running the kitchen all by himself, but I think you'll find the food & service to be well worth it. Or, do like me & go when it's not busy ;p
I highly recommend Sushi Forest next time you're in the mood for sushi.
