August 30, 2012 -- If you had read any of my San Diego posts, you know that I love sushi. With that in mind, I set out to find sushi restaurants that can compete with their West Coast brothers. Not an easy task to live up to, since sushi arrived and thrived on the other coast before coming here.
My first sushi bar I visited was Mootone Fine Japanese Cuisine. I went with two co-workers, Donna and Sue, and we had a great time. I still believe that sushi places in La Jolla and San Diego were better, but I did like the California rolls and rainbow rolls, as well the Beef Negima. Not bad, but still below SD.
The next week I visited Kyoto Japanese Restaurant. This place had sushi and traditional Japanese and Chinese food. It also had a hibachi area if you wanted to partake in that arena. My coworker enjoyed the beef teriyaki and I had my traditional rainbow rolls. I liked this place better than Mootone, just because of their wider menu. Still nothing compared to La Jolla!
The last place I've tried is Thyme Japanese Cuisine and I really like this place! From what I gather it's a new place in town with a sushi bar, restaurant, and hibachi. The sushi is fantastic, the atmosphere nice, and the wait staff very attentive. Plus, it's just around the corner from the Merrimack Valley YMCA, so I can easily get there after my workouts. And, don't let this get around, it rivals my West Coast sushi joints!
Be sure to check out these places if you're in the Andover area and are looking for good sushi. Enjoy!
