Description

Sunomo is tops on our long, long list of Reasons to Eat Lunch at Blue Fin, where businesspeople and connoisseurs of fine cuisine converge every day. Sunomo-thinly-sliced cucumbers in a pickle sauce-are a refreshing starter, followed by deep-fried Crab Puffs served with Blue Fin's special house-made orange dipping sauce and then a couple orders of Gyoza, tasty dumplings of pork or shrimp served with soy-vinegar sauce. Daily Specials and Healthy Specials are cheap and always tempting, but we usually just go straight for the delicious Japanese Chicken Curry, a bowl filled with mild curry sauce covering crispy carrots and tender onions. We've delayed our planned trip to Japan because, well, we've got Blue Fin to tide us over.
