mmm-yoso!!! is just a place where you can vicariously experience food which is eaten by others. Today, it's a meal Cathy experienced. Because Kirk is on vacation and ed(from Yuma) is in Yuma, working. Apparently Cathy is doing neither.
Hi again. I blogged about Nozomi quite a while ago, have eaten there many times since, but never bothered to blog about it again. The other day I brought my camera.
Yes, they have an All You can Eat Sushi special, with many asterisks. {2 hours max, no to go, extra charge for leftover rice…}
The menu is a mix of Japanese and Korean and the decor is clean and simple.
It isn't large but also not too small inside.
There is a regular meal menu and a separate, large menu of just rolls and sushi. Those photos on the front window are of a few of the rolls offered.
We ordered and very soon some generic Miso Soup (made from paste) and a complimentary plate of edamame, freshly boiled and salted, was brought out.
We decided to try the $3 chalkboard special of tuna nigiri.
Two very fresh pieces of tender tuna were brought out, topped with a dot of wasabi on top of some excellent warm rice.
The tempura fish appetizer ($5.95) was all halibut- solid, sweet white fish, fried perfectly- lightly crispy.
Quite a large serving. I could have made this a meal if I could have eaten it all by myself.
The Mister ordered the Hiyashi Juka (cold noodle) plate. ($12.95)
A good portion of cooked then quick chilled yakisoba with mix ins of cucumber, carrot, cabbage, eggs, seaweed, red pepper, radish sprouts and mushrooms along with a few pieces of shrimp and a vinegar based sauce.
I ordered my usual, the 'famous chirashi salad' ($13.95)
A very large bowl with rice on the bottom, lots of lettuces, cucumber and radish sprouts dressed lightly with a sesame oil based dressing and topped with shrimp, octopus and three other chopped raw fish (salmon, halibut and tuna) and topped with masago and a light sesame oil based dressing.
Always fresh, tasty and plentiful.
A refreshing sliced 1/2 orange for dessert.
Total bill: $38.99
Always fresh and good. A nice dinner out.
