Oh, Hisui.  The food!  The showmanship!  The onion volcanos!

I love watching people cook; and when that cooking involves a percussion section in the form of butcher knives and garlic salt dispensers, all the better.

My pal and I shared the big ol' Chef's Choice which included miso soup, salad, perfectly rare filet mignon, scallops, shrimp, calamari and lobster, along with vegetables and steamed rice.  For dessert, we were offered the choice of chocolate, strawberry or green tea ice cream.  The entire meal was devoured as we sat around a flat-top grill, witnessing the chef masterfully prepare dinner for the other half-dozen diners sitting across from us.

Gracious hostess, super-attentive server, and all the culinary entertainment you can handle.  A definite winner in Vacaville.

Crazy Sushi

The best excuse for post-meal ice cream.

Dude: I FORCE myself to eat the side salad with chopsticks...otherwise, the process would not be lady-like.  Trust me.  I don't know what they put in that salad dressing, but I want to bury my face in it.  Every time.

For twenty bucks, two people can gorge themselves.  The quality is great, the menu is expansive, the wait staff hustles, and the sushi chefs are extremely friendly and accommodating.

I order the Spicy Day every time.  Sure, I leave with my mouth on fire after a one-two punch from both jalapenos and Sriracha, but it's always worth the pain and suffering.

The sushi has been 50% off since their grand opening years ago.  Why go anywhere else?
