Sumo Sushi

One day when I didn't bring lunch, I decided to order sushi from Sumo Sushi (337-41 S. Broad Street) with my coworker. They had lunch specials. I loooooove discounts so yay. It was also very easy to order online for this restaurant. Online ordering was available on their website as well as grubhub and yelp. 

We ordered the 3 roll lunch special for $10.95. We got the shrimp tempura, yellowtail crunch, and spicy tuna rolls. The crunch for the yellowtail came from the apples which was new for me. I think they might have been granny smith apples and the slices weren't real crisp. It was my first time having apple in my sushi. It was just okay. Overall, I thought the yellowtail and spicy tuna sushi were mediocre. They were a little mushier than I would like them to be. I had better and firmer yellowtail and tuna sushi before. The shrimp tempura roll had avocado and cucumber in it. It was my favorite of them all. Fried things are always yummy. Having it paired with avocado, cucumber, rice, and seaweed was just the icing on top.

In addition to the sushi, we got something new to both of us- Tuna Pumpkins. They were lobster salad wrapped with a thin layer of tuna, creating the shape of pumpkins, and topped with mosago, which were roe from a small fish called capelin. Below I have pictures of the pumpkins and the inside of the so call pumpkin. The lobster salad inside had a creamy texture with tiny bits of lobster in it and was very tasty. The combination of the lobster salad and tuna complement each other well and kind of melts in your mouth. I ate my share slowly, savoring over the novel taste and sensation in my mouth. I highly recommend the Tuna Pumpkins in addition to the Shrimp Tempura Roll.
