Yen Sushi

If you haven't yet been to second street at Belmont Shore I definitely suggest you go. This place is thriving with culture and GREAT food.

I have this thing where I judge the a sushi place overall by their Crunch Roll (bottom). It never seems to fail because Yen's Crunch Roll can only be described as the freshest sushi I've ever had. Now it can't really compare to great tasting sushi that's artificial because it's a different taste but this is still none the less amazing. On top is a chef's special, The Yoda Roll. It contains calamari with fresh vegetables on the inside with avocado crunch flakes and their signature sauce. This roll was okay. It wasn't spectacular but definitely still just as fresh as the previous.

As an appetizer we had the deep fried Tofu Steak with their sesame sauce. I wanted to try something new but i definitely didn't have any high expectations, but this was great. I wished I had more. The texture of the tofu was weirdly un-tofu-like and more like softer sticky rice. But what made it was the sauce. The sauce was sweet and had a nice sesame flavor.

The final roll was the Snow Corn Roll. This was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Eel, fresh vegetables, and avocado in the middle with baked white fish, smelt eggs, and a light mayo on top. Best dish of the night by far.

Yen sushi does not sacrifice fresh ingridients and is definately worth a visit.
