Sushi Axiom
Dallas, TX
I never knew this place exists until I went there with 6 of my girl friends (girl space friends, not girl friends) the other night before catching a show downtown. I was told that this place used to be a Mexican restaurant, and after new owner pulled in boat loads of cash, it became another one of such owner's greater and better franchise creation. As for the atmosphere, right off the bat when I walked in, I was impressed by those elegant yet tasteful decors. Obviously this restaurant is targeting at young adult audiences with credit cards and looking for place to swipe. Okay, you got me there, let's see if your food can match up to it.
I ordered my usual chirashi bowl, rather than a full blown sashimi dinner, as we were kinda running tight on time. (For all of you fellows who ever spend time with 6 other girls, you know exactly what I am talking about.) The service was great. The server kept on referring to all my girl space friends as "sweet heart": "What can I get for you sweet heart?" "Do you want another drink sweet heart?" What's up with that?
After much anticipation, my chirashi bowl finally arrived. The presentation was...hmmmm.... ok. Just ok. See for yourself. Looking around, I was expecting something va-va-voom or fireworks flying out from my tuna. Well that didn't happen. The fish was fresh - very fresh. I loved that fact that my chirashi was served with Japanese rice. (For some of you who may not know that difference between Japanese and say non-Japanese rice: Japanese rice are often more sticky.) The chef placed seasame seeds and sea weeds on top of the rice bed, which gave it an additional kick to it. Compare to what I paid, the portion was just right. The chef was not stingy, or I would not have found octopus in my bowl.
My chiashi bowl did not come with mizo soup or salad, which is kinda a normal practice for other Japanese restaurants/establishments. That kinda set me back a little.
Will I be back? I guess so. It is a nice place after all.
(The Earth without "art" is just.... "eh.")
