The Rising Sun restaurant<\/a> emerged from the ashes of an Italian buffet about two years ago, taking the form of a nice family Japanese sushi joint. We ate there a couple of times either side of seeing a movie at the Regal Village Square 18 picture theater. They had good dinner combo deals… your standard neighborhood sushi joint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 6 months ago, it once again underwent a change of management, with a completely different and more expensive looking menu. Normally when this happens, I have sighed at the loss of yet another friendly affordable sushi venue, and changed my plans for the evening. Fortunately, a couple of weeks ago, when faced with this sudden case of confounded expectations, I was with some guests from out-of-town and – having promised them sushi – really didn’t want to disappoint them. I explained that I could no longer vouch for the experience, and put it to a vote. We agreed: we’d take the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m very glad we did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t waste your money on the usual sashimi and ngiri choices because that’s not really what they are about. You can get those elsewhere. Instead, go for the special rolls. There’s a large number of options and they are all delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it’s more expensive. We won’t be idly dropping in on a whim. But the food is worth it. It’s creative, it’s tasty, and in my opinion it competes with the out-of-this-world creations of Nobu and frankly that’s saying something. (I also enjoyed the bottle of chilled, unfiltered saki we had with the meal and I’m sure that last time I tasted that<\/em> was at Nobu.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions and the odd treat. I can’t afford to go there every week but I’d like to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
