Sushi with a Latin twist

I have been a frequent diner at SushiSamba – the very first time in Miami on Lincoln Avenue. For a long time that was one of my top favourites. Later on I discovered the New York version on 7th Avenue, very busy during summer particularly as they have a great roof terrace.
Yesterday I landed in New York coming straight in from London and just had a craving for good sushi, so I headed to SushiSamba on Park, near Union Square. It was quite quiet, maybe due to the slightly early hour and the record heat that day, 90F, everyone was still enjoying the late afternoon sun.

As a starter I had Miso soup – nicely salted and then the Californian roll and a Spicy Tuna with flakes. I have to say both were delicious.
Services was friendly and informal, decor OK – it was probably modern about 15 years ago.

Not just Sushi

Recently I visited my favorite sushi place in the world again -  Blue Ribbon Sushi, in Soho, Manhattan. For years I was a regular visitor – eating here once or twice a week – since the Sushi is the best you’ll find. Personnel is first class and the decor of the restaurant simple, a bit dark, not overly comfortable but always making you feel like you are coming home.
My starter consisted of a shrimp tempura – just like it should be, deliciously light batter and non-greasy. As a main course I had the California roll with blue crab en Tuna with flakes – easily superior to anywhere else. Dessert consisted of a green tea creme brulee, gorgeousl

If you like Sushi and you are in New York – you absolutely have to make a stop here. Be early – I am not the only one who thinks this place is great!
