my favOrite sushi bar in the bay area.
SUSHI ON THE RUN in los gatos.
chef nobo has been preparing fresh, amazing sushi since i was in high school. this is the ONLY place that i will willingly order “rolls.” his restaurant is teeny, and only sits eight at a bar, so if you don’t make the first seating, you need to wait about 45- an hour for the next. he only opens up shop after his sushi rice is prepared to the correct temperature.. you can see him through the glass window fanning away the sushi rice in the big bamboo container before his assistant turns the “closed” sign to “open.”
on our recent stay in norcaL, we went twice for lunch.
the “yellow rose” roll. yellowtail, avocado, garlic, scallion. sO good.
now, THIS is how nobo prepares his sushi. one pc of his sushi is easily 2 at any other restaurant.
i like to order uni + avocado handrolls.. he makes mine with shiso.
hamachi, fresh the day we ate it. we watched him slice this off the fish.. insanely fresh, great texture.
UNI. my obsession continues.
“paul’s passion” roll. yellowtail, avocado, scallion, tobiko, chilli.
i LOvE.
