Few things make me happier than good sushi. Read into that statement as you will, but those of you who are fans of the “bait and rice” (as it is referred to by my favorite fishing boat captain), understand that of which I speak. Quaint with a good personality, pleasant atmosphere and terrific food, this establishment is a fabulous addition to downtown Morehead City.
As indicated by the name, the restaurant is more west coast inspired than actually Japanese (though the proprietor is from Australia…go figure) with a lot of avocado and imaginative combinations. In addition to their selection of sushi, the rice paper rolls are lovely, as is the sashimi salad.
The bar options are limited (much to my chagrin, they only serve beer), but as divers are not usually known for their restraint, this could be seen as a positive. It’s also worth mentioning that in addition to being the best, it is by far the most convenient sushi restaurant to all the area dive operations.
