SDLOVEBUG must have: Miyabi’s Sushi Burrito

Love Bug — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:49:10 +0000

Every now and then we come across a dish that is an absolute must have. Whether its Royal Thai’s Pot of Gold or if its the Melting Pot’s dessert, its something to talk about. Enter the Sushi Burrito. Now from the sounds of it, your first reaction might be a little turned off. After-all, a fusion of Mexican and Japanese doesn’t sound that appetizing… fear not, its just a name. The actual dish is an ultra delicious mega roll that will simply melt in your mouth.

Miyabi Steakhouse in Encinitas offers this delicious dish for a mere $12. The scrumptious tempura crab mixed in with a myriad of ingredients (better to try than to talk about) molds itself in a pleasant melody of flavor and delight in the Sushi Burrito. So if you and your lover, or if you’re on a lunch break and are craving for an exotic and heavenly taste, make a trip to Encinitas’s own Miyabi and get a Sushi Burrito!

But don’t stop there, Miyabi also offers a stellar line of Sushi and Teppanyaki dishes in an elegant and inviting atmosphere that will satisfy your taste pallet and make you want more. It’s defiantly an SDLOVEBUG hot spot!

Tomiko Japanese Cuisine

Love Bug — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:40:06 +0000

Tomiko Japanese Cuisine is in a cozy location that is a hop, skip and a jump away from Moonlight Beach, downtown Encinitas and the I-5 freeway. If you’re a sushi fiend and are looking to dine in a pristine local offering stunning views, excellent service and a smorgasbord of delicious Japanese Cuisine, you and your lover must stop by.

Pat Stein of the San Diego Union Tribune declared Tomiko as a “Food Find” and it was voted “Best Sushi” by The Sun readers. Therefore after hearing that, we had to give it a shot. After experiencing Tomiko, all we have to say is… the reviews where not far off their mark.

Although Tomiko offered one of the best dining experiences we have ever had at a Japanese restaurant, the sushi could be a little better. Still, Tomiko is one of the better Japanese restaurants in San Diego, we just had better sushi elsewhere. But don’t let that hinder your potential visit, Tomiko still offers great seafood, sashimi and hand rolls. In addition, their “Sake City” also a great place to visit for the occasional happy hour.
