Topped with the a dot of sriracha sauce and filled with spicy tuna, the roll gave a hint of heat in the beginning. New York roll, Tasu roll, Alaskan roll, The Woman in Red rollĪ colorful plate of sushi was placed down in front of us and after achieving the correct soy sauce/wasabi ratio in my sauce dish I began with the Woman in Red roll. The mellow shrimp flavors of the filling were enhanced by the salty and hint of citrus from the ponzu sauce. Biting through the wrapping revealed the dumplings’ pillowy shrimp filling. A standard streamed shrimp dumpling, the outside was delicate yet sticky with bits of it sticking to the lettuce leaf. Hungry, we decided to begin the meal with dumplings. In hopes to redeem that night, we decided to try Tasu again and left the dog at home.
We sat in frustration and quiet, eating our sushi without really enjoying a bite. After comforting the frantic dog at home, I rushed back to the restaurant but the mood for the evening was already ruined. I went to go rescue the poor chow-chow as Sara waited for the food we just order minutes before the call. The first attempt at dining at Tasu started with PetSmart calling to inform Sara and I that they would be unable to groom Norton because he was not allowing the groomers to pick him up to place him on the grooming table. The Scrooge in me rejoiced in the thought of all the pennies that I would pinch. Trying to find a foothole in this crowded market, some restaurants have touted their daily “buy one get one” sushi deals. Just off the top of my head I can think of four sushi places that had opened in the Triangle just this year (Tasu, Sushi-O, Sushi Love, Sushi Nine). What once was the barometer of an American’s culinary adventurous spirit has sparked a convoy of sushi restaurants opening despite gloomy economic times. Despite what others might think of a modestly sized region in the Southeast, the Triangle loves its sushi.
