Roll with the sushi lingo 

Tempura: Fish that is fried in batter.

Sushi Rice: Steamed Japanese style rice that is flavored with vinegar-based seasoning that is only used for sushi.

Imitation Crab: Finely shredded fish that is heated and pressed into a crab meat leg shape.

Spicy Sauce: A mixture of mayonnaise, hot sauce (commonly Sriracha), and other seasonings.

5 Rolls You Have to Try from the Sushi Menu

TEMPURA CRUNCH ROLL

From the menu: rice, imitation crab, shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber, seaweed, sesame seeds, crispy onion, Sriracha

This roll packs it all with two types of fish (imitation crab and shrimp tempura), two crunchy vegetables (cucumber and seaweed), with some added crunch with the sesame seeds and crispy onion.  If you like spicy, this one has a kick at the end from the Sriracha.

VEGGIE ROLL

From the menu: rice, carrot, avocado, cucumber, seaweed, sesame seeds

This roll is simple and delicious: truly showcasing the ingredients. The veggies add an amazing crunch, bright colors, and you just cannot beat that fresh flavor. If fish is not your favorite but still like the idea of sushi, this roll is for you.

GOLDEN DRAGON ROLL

From the menu: rice, imitation crab, avocado, cucumber, seaweed, sesame seeds, spicy sauce, sushi sauce, crispy onion

This roll has really got it all. The crunchy flakes of onion on top add a flavor that is just unmatchable. This roll does have a kick to it with the spicy sauce but is one of our favorites.

CALIFORNIA / SPICY CALIFORNIA ROLL

From the menu: rice, imitation crab, avocado, cucumber, seaweed, sesame seeds

The California roll is one of the most common and simple rolls in the sushi world. It is a great roll to start with or be used as a palate cleanser. The imitation crab adds a light fish flavor and is so good with the creamy avocado and crunchy cucumber. If you want a little extra spice added, go for the Spicy California Roll which is the same base as the original but has some spicy sauce and a crunchy onion seasoning mix sprinkled on top.

TIGER ROLL

From the menu: rice, imitation crab, shrimp, avocado, cucumber, seaweed, sesame seeds

If you’re a fan of raw ingredient sushi, or if you just want to try out a roll with a raw ingredient, this roll is for you! It’s super tasty with the addition of the crunchy veggies, and isn’t overpowered by a strong fish taste as the shrimp is mild. The Tiger Roll has a kick to it from the very first bite. The avocado helps to balance out the spicy flavor.

BONUS! MACARONS

When picking up your sushi, keep an eye out for macarons! These delightful desserts are a popular treat. Made with almond flour, macarons are a slightly domed sandwich cookie with delicious filling. Think pistachio, chocolate cream, and strawberry. The macarons were chewy, bite-sized, and very flavorful!
