Description

Whimsical fusion sushi meets San Jose hipsterhood in this polished-slate, deep-red enclave: Blowfish Sushi to Die For. Cool cocktails, throbbing electronica, and erotic anime are the backdrop for an evening of Fiesta Rolls (tuna, avocado, cilantro, and salsa), Smoked Delight (lox, tomato, basil, and Parmesan), and Maui Maki (tuna, mango, and macadamia nuts), all of them served in geometric juxtapositions not encountered since the demise of the Flying Saucer. The dry, taste-free Quack Circus appetizer (duck breast, mushrooms, and pistachios) is best avoided, but get the weird and wonderful green tea cheesecake for dessert.
