janestarz | Unexpected Sushi!

As we hurried towards the bus station yesterday, we found that Drax and Fyrane were already waiting there. It was a fun ride towards the 'Tzimisce' building (Zhimic) and we had a good meeting, as I blogged about yesterday. Subsequently, we rode the bus back, and we spoke of Tiny Tokyo having good sushi, for pre-packaged sushi, at the Utrecht Station. Tiny Tokyo was still open, but alas, most of the sushi was sold already.

Drax and Fyrane suggested going to SushiQube, where they had had marvellous meals and were looking for excuses to go again. It was happily situated at the Hofplein fountain, overlooking the vast roundabout in the heart of Rotterdam - and at walking distance from the Central Station.
Drax called ahead to reserve a table for four, and although it didn't look like the restaurant would be completely filled, there were many people there already. Not bad for an all-you-can eat sushi place that has only been opened for two months.

The menu was diverse enough for anyone: nigiri and maki sushi, tempura, several kinds of ramen, but also fish and beef and tori yaki. *grin*
All manner of yummy, so to speak.

The night was very enjoyable, and the food was above and beyond. Not just great to look at, but also very tasteful. Drax described it as "Japanese food is either very subtle, or an explosion of taste." They got that right down to an art.
I had my fill of sushi and also had some fried rice which was lovely, but a bit too salty. I had a lot of gyoza and also ate some beef tenderloin as wel as yakitori. Sometimes, chicken does not resemble chicken at all...
