Sushi Convoy, San Diego

I bumped into Convoy Sushi from Google maps when I stood outside the hotel on my iphone. 20 minutes on foot – walkable. Considering that I needed to walk a little for exercise. I haven’t been really been exercising since I was in the states.

Fast forward 2 days, I return to my fellow friend. Hey, they recognize me from my previous visit. . I brought my camera out tonight. I haven’t been shooting since I was nursing my cold in room.

I call him Sai, my bestest friend.

Complimentary miso soup. Nice warm soup for weather like this.

The sushi bar, where the knife savvy sushi chef behind the bar – Abel. Well, not seen in this photo, I’ve got video where he fire up our Fire Roll.

Miso soupppppslurrrppsss

We ordered sushi combo from the appetizer menu to share. Fresh, and yummy

I saw Abel preparing the Fire Roll from their Special Roll menu. I wanted it the first time I was there, but I change the order cos I couldn’t finish it. It’s spicy. Tempura asparagus, spicy crab, cucumber, topped with spicy saurce and habanero tobiko. A challenge for a Malaysian who loves spicy food, but we Malaysian didn’t disappoint . It’s yummy

This is Tiger roll. The stripes on the salmon created the tiger stripes. Pretty. Shrimp tempura, cucumber, crab, fresh salmon, black tobiko. The shrimp give the cruncy texture to it.

We ordered dessert. Abel came out from the kitchen and he served us with this dish. He said, he prepared the dessert already – complimentary before we ordered  our ice cream. Nice…. Great way to end our dinner. Banana fritters with green tea ice cream.

If I stay here, I’ll make them my favorite restaurant. After all, I love Japanese food.
