It's an age-old tale: move to city, search for best sushi, try new sushi restaurant at every opportunity, discuss favorite "so far" at social gatherings, continue quest. I think searching for the best sushi is almost more exciting than actually finding it. And so we continue to look for our favorite spot in the neighborhood. John discovered a sushi restaurant between Chestnut and Lombard on Pierce. (As a side note, this block is a GEM—we took note of at least 4 more restaurants we can't wait to come back and enjoy!)Ace Wasabi was slightly ambitious on their sushi rolls, something I'm typically skeptical of, yet my exhaustion on a Thursday night and John's eagerness to order let me sit back and be impressed by unknown selections. The crab in each roll was superb; sweet, robust, even lobster-like in its sizable chunks. I was delighted by a roll of BBQ eel, crab, and macadamia nuts, creating a crunchy and sweet treat. The funniest thing that happened all night was when we arrived to hear someone calling bingo numbers. Both of us stopped on a dime and hesitated, knowing we couldn't bear the thought of a game going on during dinner, but the hostess let us know it was over. She seemed apologetic. We were relieved. The music all evening was fantastic, from The Knife to Steve Miller Band. We may need to keep looking for the best sushi restaurant, but I would gladly head back for a casual, satisfying meal.
