Do kids like Sushi?

Its a question I wanted to pose seeing I have a daughter whose favorite food is sushi.

Yes, she is 14 and does have a well developed palate but I was wondering if there were other folks out there whose kids are asking to go to dinner for sushi ?  I guess I started her on it  early and I do enjoy a nice tuna roll and baked dynamite, but its one of those things that I just didn’t expect to hear from my daughter so often.  So please  let me know if there are other folks out there who have found a kid friendly, affordable place for sushi that won’t break the pocket book .

I  admit I am a bit of a foodie and  since I am always critiquing places I eat I may as well share my findings on my Blog.

Tonight we dined at Sushi Hana Downtown on 6th and Central.   Its become a new favorite of mine.  Great ambiance,  lovely restaurant, its actually quite a big place but usually empty in the evening.  They have Happy Hour from 5:30- 7:30 and Half  off  their sushi menu. They have a nice selection of sushi rolls and Udon,  Yakitori, and traditional Japanese offerings.

The Miso Soup is tasty, very rich and tasty broth, deep caramel colored and nice touch of tofu and sliced mushrooms and green onions.  ( Forgot to take a picture…)

Squid Salad........so, so

Didn’t care much for the Squid salad which is one my daughters favorites. It was a little too chewy and rubbery,  maybe not cut  into small enough pieces and the flavor was lacking.

The  Sushi rolls however, made up for the lack of flavor and they were beautiful and tasty.

We decided on 3 rolls and here are pictures of two of them , Fire Roll and Love Knight.  They were similar. They both had shrimp tempura in the center and salmon, except one had avocado . Sushi was fresh and the right amount sauce.  I especially liked the one with the avocado and my daughter enjoyed them both.

I do hope that you will  take a night to check out Sushi Hana,  Downtown.  We just discovered it  a month ago, but I fear that they may not be around long if we don’t get the word out and fill the place with customers soon.  Since the price is right and the service is friendly, and the sushi is tasty stop by and give it try and let me know what you think.   They do a nice Bento lunch special as well, but I haven’t tried it yet.  Let me know if you have ?      Arigato!     Comment me and let me  know where you like to go?
