Many years ago Baba Sushi was a converted house turned small, intimate restaurant. Today it has a beautiful, and spacious, back room filled with lovely wood and shiny round stones.
Even though there was music flowing all night, I found it easy to hear those around me and at the next table. The atmosphere, though different from the front room, is comfortable.
We ordered sushi. In fact, we ordered four sushi rolls. But my husband, Scott, is going to review two and I am going to review the other two. My favorites were the Rainbow Roll and the Salmon Avocado Roll.
The Rainbow Roll has crab, tuna, white fish, shrimp, and tobiko all wrapped along the outside of the roll, which is then topped with the bright orange fish roe, tobiko.
I love the variety of fish on this roll. Scott loves tuna so a chopstick fight ensues for tuna-wrapped pieces. He usually wins, but only because I let him. I always snag the salmon pieces.
I love avocado with salmon. This classic roll in the sushi world always makes my night. That’s why I order it instead of one of the more complex rolls. I have needs. Simple can also be amazing when the ingredients and the execution are as high quality as Baba’s.
Our server, Brad, was excellent. He was very attentive and always had drinks and water flowing, which for me is a sign of a great waiter.
He was very knowledgeable. He was able to describe any roll in detail. He explained all the components so we understood what we would be ordering. I like that in a waiter. The food came out in a timely manner and everything was correct. Just as it should be…
