Dining Destination: I have been craving sushi for weeks and I just knew once I got to San Diego my dreams would be fulfilled. Finally after a long week of meetings me and my hubby got to eat some sushi. He had picked out a place called Mr. Sushi in Pacific Beach but when we arrived it wasn't open. Fortunately right where we parked and across the street from Mr. Sushi was another joint called Haiku Sushi. Really you can find a sushi joint in San Diego on nearly every block and I'm sure it's all delightful and I will do my best to try as many as I can but today I will show you what made our visit to Haiku so delicious.
I love a good Las Vegas roll so of course we ordered it. The difference between this one and others I've had would be that this one was more deep fried than tempura which is lighter and more flaky. And the kicker was this LV roll was topped with salsa. Yeah I said it--salsa. He basically sprinkled some pico de gallo on top and surprisingly it was awesome. Above is an up close and personal picture.
We always try and have a "house special" because it's a nice local experience. We chose the special calamari roll: deep fried calamari, cucumber, avocado, spicy crab, crunchy kobo carrot and eel sauce. It had a nice spice to it which I always love in at least one of my rolls {normally I get spicy tuna}. I do have to tell you I didn't always like sushi but I worked at acquiring the taste and I absolutely whole heartedly love it. So if you think you don't like it I recommend you give it a try and go with someone who knows what to order and they can help you out. I hope I can get to SD more often and try all the other places!
