Let's Roll Custom Sushi Bar
There's a new sushi joint near the corner of Denman & Davie - Let's Roll Custom Sushi Bar
It's a unique concept...It's a sushi bar with all the protiens/veg/fruit/sauces/toppings/etc displayed in front of you. They let you totall customize your roll and put it together right in front of you.
1. Start by choosing your seaweed (traditional, or modern soy).
2. Then choose your rice (white, mixed grain, or green).
3. After that, choose two proteins (about 12 to choose from including tuna, salmon, prawn tempura, grilled beef, grilled chicken, etc)
4. Then choose two fruits/vegetables (a bunch to choose from including avocado, mango, pineapple, cucumber, peppers, asparagus, yam tempura, etc)
5&6. Once you have done that, they roll it all up for you and put it through a machine that slices it up perfectly. They then arrange it in a cool little round wood take-out box, wfter which you can choose two sauces (about 10 to choose from including spicy mayo, wasabi mayo, sweet chili, teryaki, miso, etc), as well as two toppings (lots to choose from including seaweed salad, green onions, tempura crunch, corn, potato chips, etc).
They are very generous with their portions of fillings, toppings, and sauces, and the service is also very freindly! And most importantly, they use high quality ingredients!
COST: You get 10 LARGE piece per roll, which is definately enough to fill you up...and they cost only $7.95 per roll!
It may take 5-10 mins, depending on if there is a line, to get your roll(s), but that's about normal for any sushi place that is not pre-made. It's a pretty small place, and I predict line ups out the door once the weather gets going.
They also sell a variety of side items (yam fries, pork gyoza, edamame, miso soup, etc) and fresh fruit smoothies. The take out boxes are very cool...and even though I have been about 4-5 times already I always forget to take a pic of the rolls themselves...must because I'm too excited to dig in!
Worth checking out the next time you are around Engligh Bay, and PERFECT for taking down to the beach, and great value for your money.
