Ever since my trip to Japan, I've been on the hunt for a restaurant that serves Japanese food that could hopefully come close to what I had in Japan. These days my craving for some good Japanese food is satisfied by Ooma, a Japanese Rice Bar by Chef Bruce Ricketts that serves Japanese food with a twist.
This was my family's second time eating at Ooma and for this visit, we decided to try three of Ooma's best sushi rolls.
Ooma's Ebi and Kani Aburi Maki is a simple yet delicious maki topped generously with kani and a piece of shrimp torched perfectly. The Ebi and Kani Aburi Maki tastes comforting and heavenly with all of its flavors coming together beautifully. The sweet tare sauce drizzled on the maki along with the aligue mayo and cream cheese worked perfectly together. This was my favorite maki and my personal recommendation for all of you wanting to try Ooma!
Ebi and Kani Aburi Maki - P265 |
Steak Aburi Maki - P335 |
The Steak Aburi Maki takes your classic sushi roll topped with meat to an entirely different level with tender and juicy strips of steak and pickled and fried onions. Lots of makis topped with meat don't get that perfect combination of flavory and doneness, but Ooma's Steak Aburi Maki does making it a must have for your next trip to Ooma!
Salmon Belly Roll - P275 |
Looking for a more familiar sushi roll? Try the Salmon Belly Roll! The crispy salmon belly brings a crunchy element to your soft and tasty maki. Topped with aligue mayo and an incredible ginger and garlic sauce, the Salmon Belly Roll is an amazing combination of flavors and textures that just gives you everything you need in a sushi roll!
