Sushi YOSHI - New Sushi Bar in Superior!
Fresh & Authentic Japanese Food and Sushi is what you'll find at Sushi Yoshi in Superior, Colorado. Don't let the small strip mall fool you... tucked away right off Highway 36 at the McCaslin exit (just south of Costso) is a sushi bar serving truly authentic Japanese food that will thrill all your senses!
The presentation is beautiful - steamed salmon wrapped in kombu tied with gourd, a tower of diced avocado and tomoatoes surrounded by marinated scallops each artfully topped with a tiny piece of marinated dried tomato, sashimi curved to look like a flower, even their salads are impressive!
The small kitchen is behind the sushi bar, so you get to smell these wonderful things that make you wonder if you have room for one more dish....
Most importantly, Yoshi knows fish! I have had incredibly fresh fish - melt in your mouth tender - and that makes me very happy :-)
He serves sauces on some dishes, especially the sashimi, that will knock your socks off! I forget the name but Yoshi serves a Special Sashimi dish that offers 7 pieces beautifully presented, each with a different sauce on top - just a little bit, enough to blend with the flavor of the fish. This is one of my favorites!
Save room for dessert! The handmade desserts at Yoshi's are incredible! Chocolate Mousse, Green Tea and Red Bean Ice Cream (of course!), and they use seasonal fruits to make these rich healthy desserts so you won't feel too guilty.
Some of these dishes remind me of Asian Fusion - a wonderful blend of authentic Japanese with a European flair - the final product is fresh with distinct yet prefectly blended flavors that always surprises me. I like being surprised! This is the first sushi bar I've been to in a very long time that makes me want to try everything on the menu!
I can recommend everything, but so far these are my favorites...
Zensai - traditional Japanese appetizers
Salmon wrapped in kombu
Tuna Salad - don't let the name fool you!
Special 7 Piece Sashimi with sauces
there's so much more I could list!
They have a website: www.SuperiorSushi.com that includes a map and menus, but the menus they have at the restaurant are up to date and include all the wonderful things they serve. It's a small place, so bring your patience in case you have to wait, or call for a reservation. The wait staff is very friendly.
Do you want to be surprised by a sushi bar? I suggest you give Sushi Yoshi a try :-)

They have a very extensive Sake Menu, too. Although I typically stick with my favorite - Hot Sake w/Plum Wine - I did try their Poochi Poochi which is a carbonated cold sake drink. Light, sweet, bubbly, but Potent!
