Bites Nearby: Yuki's Palette Too

Not all sushi establishments are created equally and that fact is crystal clear upon taking a glance at Yuki's "Exquisite Rolls" menu.

Let's get back to the miso soup and seaweed salad later and plow full speed ahead to these tantalizing pieces of sushi.

Give your palette extra blasts of flavor with the double spicy crunchy salmon, a blend of salmon and avocado with spicy salmon on the top. Go for the gold when ordering the sweet lobster roll, bursting with lobster, avocado, mango and mesculin greens. The spicy rainbow roll presents diners with spicy, crunchy tuna on the inside and a variety of sliced fish on the outside, while the dynaminte roll brings together the tastes of kani salad with spicy, crunchy tuna on the top.

Not a fan of the rice or get too filled up with it to enjoy the other parts of a roll to your heart's content? Try one of the four rolls that do not contain any rice. Indulge in tuna, salmon, scallop or eel served with avocado and wrapped in cucumber.

For the non-daring sushi aficionado, Yuki's has plenty of regular rolls including Mexican (tuna inside with avocado and spicy sauce on the top), Indian (shrimp and cucumber inside with curry sauce on the top) and the Tri Color with tuna, yellowtail and avocado. Tuna, onion tuna, Philadelphia rolls and cucumber rolls grace the menu with their presence as well.

Now that we've uncovered the ingredients to some of Yuki's fabulous sushi choices, let's roll back a little bit and look at a smattering of the choices that guests have before their entrees.

Order a few appetizers for the table and pass them around to share with friends. Possibilities include spicy wasabi shumai, salmon asparagus, tuna tataki, jalapeno striped bass and spicy crunchy tuna blossom, amongst others. Try a hearty soup such as the dumpling or seafood miso variety.

Going out to get sushi can become a bit of a task when some group or family members do not enjoy the thought of raw fish. Luckily, Yuki's helps people avoid this dining dilemma by offering non-sushi entrees. Sesame chicken in plum wine sauce, salmon teriyaki and the seafood trio in lemon butter sauce, all served with miso soup and white rice, are some of the options for sushi foes.

Mix together the great tastes of sushi with hearty delights by purchasing a Bento box, which comes complete with a house salad, miso soup, California roll, shrimp tempura and your choice of beef steak teriyaki, chicken teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, four pieces of sushi or seven pieces of sushi.
