The thing I've noticed is that you either love sushi or hate it. Many people have the misconception that sushi is just raw fish, which may not sound so appetizing, but that is just a myth. Yes, some sushi is raw, but there are plenty of sushi options where the fish is cooked.
Karma Sushi and Tapas is a new (ish) sushi bar located on 6 E. Route 66. The atmosphere is clearly present, and decorated quite trendily, and I recently had a pleasing experience enjoying their unique menu. I have been to several different sushi spots, but this place definitely has a unique touch to these Japanese treats.
Their menu breaks each item down simply with the ingredients, and though I would love to try everything on this menu, I made sure to do a little "sample testing" from each of my parent's dishes. Their Miso soup is remarkably affordable, at $2.50, but their salads are something to write home about. The Spicy Squid salad has tiny seasoned slices of squid on lettuce, which until then I wasn't so excited about eating. A little apprehensive, I chop-sticked some squid into my mouth, and nothing was strange about how delicious it was!
I ordered a seaweed salad, strange....but even more delicious. This salad is composed of seaweed, yes the strange annoying green stuff that gets stuck everywhere when your playing in the ocean. I had no idea how yummy that would be on a salad. The texture is so interesting, almost like tiny strips of celery. I would highly recommend this to any of you!
As far as rolls, I found the happy roll (Spicy Tuna, Cucumber, Tempura Crab and Spicy Mayo)to be exceptional, but for the more adventurous, the Black Cat has Tempura Asparagus, Spicy Lobster, Mango and Avocado.
There are plenty of options on the menu that I intend on trying, along with many Noodle dishes and Entrees, but as of what I tried, I was fully satisfied. Not to mention they have wide varieties of Saki and other spirits.
Their menu can be found at KarmaFlagstaff.com.
Be adventurous, give it a try!
