Sushi

Well, after working on a Sushi website for my Dreamweaver test I thought it would be appropriate to write my weekly review on a local Sushi restaurant. Plus, well…. Their website looks a lot better than the one I designed! Haha. Ok so we are headed back to Sundance Square for some spicy new cuisine. Check out “Piranha. Killer. Sushi.” Check out their website at: http://www.piranhakillersushi.com/ for the complete menu. Plus their website colors coordinate with the color palette in the restaurant itself, now that’s good marketing and branding!

Parking is always tricky downtown so it’s a good idea to park in the parking garage adjacent to Piranha’s. When you walk into the restaurant it feels like you stepped a sushi bar in California. The décor is fresh, airy, modern, and the primary colors are greens, oranges, and browns. Stained concrete and hardwoods complete the design. The bar stools and tables have almost a Scandinavian feel with sleek lines. Take a minute to look around. The designer selected each piece of artwork and furniture carefully.

Sake and wines are offered as well as a plethora of mixed drinks. Mine came garnished with a flower, which I believe was a pink orchid. The mixed drink menu is extensive and every drink has a creative name. Some of the drinks are even sweet and rich enough to qualify, as a dessert so be sure to save room for something out of the ordinary.

The appetizer menu holds everything from steamed edamame to a “Bahamian Conch Salad”. I’m not sure exactly what this salad is but it sounds interesting. Also the menu includes sushi, sashimi, and rolls. Sashimi means, “pierced body” and is actually raw fish sliced into pieces and served with a dipping sauce. The rolls include everything from traditional “California rolls” to “Avocado rolls”. Moving on to the Piranha signature rolls you will notice very clever names such as “Love at First Sight” to the “Dancing Eel Roll” and even a “Marry Me Roll”.

The entrees are artfully presented with ample attention paid to the small details of individual garnishes. Prices range from $10.95 on up to $44.95 for an entrée for two. If you are not in the mood for sushi you will find plenty of other dishes such as Chicken Teriyaki to satisfy your appetite.

Make sure you save room for dessert because the famous “Tower of Chocolate” is sure to tempt your taste buds. This is the ultimate chocolate dessert so be ready to indulge. Different varieties of ice cream are also offered such as: tempura, green tea, and red bean ice cream.

Last week I brought you some ideas on saving money by checking out local sandwich shops and trying out the “happy hour menu” at 8.0, so this week I am offering someplace new to try when you want to splurge a little or have a special occasion to celebrate. I actually went to Piranha’s for a friend’s birthday dinner. So check it out and let me know what you think.
