California Dreamin' On Academy Road
Summary
Did it take nerve to open so close to Asoyama, a popular purveyor of sushi just a block away? Probably not. With only a few cramped tables in a pint-size space, Asoyama's food is more suited for take-out or a quick snack, and although Sushi California also does a brisk take-out business, it offers leisurely in-house dining as well. In any case -- unlike the Corydon strip which is teeming with sushi joints -- there's probably room enough for at least two in this quiet corner of Academy Road.
For those who are really into salmon, the B.C. roll combines barbecued salmon with salmon skin and salmon roe. For those who prefer their seafood cooked there's the tuna salad roll of boiled tuna with mayo, green onion and cucumber. And for those who would like to try something completely different, there's the volcano roll -- a big, rich, heated mixture of scallops, squid and flying-fish roe in a chili-spiked mayonnaise sauce, topping a kappa roll that contains not just cucumber sticks, but pieces of avocado as well. It looks a mess, is sloppy to eat and tastes delicious.There's one roll in particular that I haven't found elsewhere and it's a delight. I can't remember what it was called, or where on the menu it was listed, or if it can even be classified as sushi since it was made without rice -- just skewered circles composed of cubes of red salmon, mango, cream cheese and, I think, a fourth, all contained within a strip of cucumber and freshened by a sprinkle of lemon juice.See the full content of this document
