Restaurant review...A-Tan Sushi Bar

Ok sorry if we are not updating as frequently its been a rough couple of weeks and it will continue to be hectic around here also cause moose just had surgery :( we will keep you updated on his condition. Any-who we went out to A-Tan Sushi Bar off common to celebrate his birthday and the fact that he was going to have surgery and wouldn't be able to eat normal food for a while.
First off this place is not cheap, but very well worth it!!! We had never been to a sushi bar so this place was a real treat for us. we ordered up our drinks i was really happy that for once a restaurant had Asahi beer (its a japanese beer, really good in my opinion it tastes like corona with out the bite afterwards you should try it some time) Moose had a Sapporo (dont know what the heck that is you can ask him lol) Since it was the first time at a sushi bar the menu was about as clear as mud to us. We finally settled on an appetizer of A-tan puffs (crab rangoon's) which were really really really good!!! did i mention they were good? Then we got our soups i got a hot and sour soup which was good, moose had egg drop soup he said it was the best egg drop soup he's ever had...which now that i think about it I've made it at home and he's never said that(maybe moose wont get better soon... >:) ok back to the review Alex!!! We ordered a "Shogun box" we decided to split.
But I also decided what the heck if we are going to do this big anyways lets do it right!!! So i ordered us some sake, I ordered the Kakutsuru Sayuri Nigori Sake it kinda reminded me of a merlot except again it didn't have that really dry after taste merlot does it is actually really smooth. We got our Shogun box and we were glad we didn't order two orders it was plenty of food! it consisted of a california roll, tuna roll, beef teriyaki shrimp and vegetable tempura and white rice. The food was really good and definitely worth it but again it was expensive! I do recomend it for any time you want to have that special night out but if you want sushi on a regular basis... Heb has some really good sushi, and most of the time its a dollar off.
