The Sushi Review: Jade Asian Fusion

Cool Spot - Good Sushi

Following in the urban trends of popular theme restaurants, this scenic Ballantyne hot-spot often doubles as a nightclub after hours. That was the circumstance by which I familiarized myself with the entire area. I attended a Russian party there that was topnotch. As per usual, I decided to go back to try the sushi with my divochka (baby-girl). I thought we were in a little trouble at first because of the slightly inadequate service combined with my mojito which contained so much mint it resembled a glass filled with sprite and collard greens.

But we quickly got past that when the sushi arrived because it was hitting and sticking on point - like as if we had been wishing for collard greens and chicken outdoors at a barbecue. The "soundboy" roll (tempura Philly) was adequate but the spicy yellow-tail was first rate. Sit outside if it is warm and order a California red, they have a pretty good selection. It's not cheap, but what is in that neighborhood? Overall I say definately check it out. If they start moving the tables for a party - stay, you will thank me.
