Maybe it's not entirely fair to review a place after only one visit, but I gotta share! Jon and I were craving some sushi a few weekends ago, but didn't think there was anything good near us. So, we did a quick Yelp search and took a chance on Sushi Joint in Glendale.
What a happy find! It's your usual good sushi place with the variety of Americanized rolls, but damn they were good! The restaurant is on the end of a generic strip mall, but they've made great use of a small space by situating the bar at an angle and having a high ceiling.
We shared the Glendy roll, which had tempura shrimp and avocado, plus other stuff I can't remember. I just know it was yummy!
And the 911 roll, featuring spicy tuna and good, lingering heat:
Lastly, we had the spicy tuna on crispy rice. These were two very generous mounds of minced spicy tuna on what looked like little rectangular hash browns. The rice part was crispy and warm, and the tuna tasted very fresh with a nice bit of spice.
And the added bonus that will keep us coming back is the friendly service from the chefs and our waitress. Everyone seemed like they were truly in a good mood, and provided quick service. You know that's something you find in LA too rarely.
We got our sushi fix and left happy. When we're feeling a little more adventurous, we'll go back for the chef's choice sushi.
