I fell in love with sushi all over again last night. Jacob took me to Tiger Sushi’s latest location in Uptown, Minneapolis on a whim in attempt to actually get out of the house and do something. I had Tiger Sushi for the first time at the MonaLisa Breast Cancer Benefit, Peep: http://www.themonalisaproject.com. They catered the art gallery section of the event held by my BFF Emily to benefit her good friend Mona Lisa who was battling breast cancer at the age of 27. I remember I was starved from working on the set up of the gallery and the silent auction all day so I inhaled the delightful sushi far to quickly to actually appreciate the value of the heaven in front of me.
So, anyways…back to last night. On a whim we end up at Tiger sushi in Uptown. The new location located under the new condos on Lyndale Ave and located across the street from my ever so dreaded previous Bikram Yoga studio. We parked in the lot fo Egg and I, shhh, don’t tell. Ran across the frozen dark streets and entered into a beautiful open space to find to my delight, that there was barely anyone there and GASP, it was Happy Hour, at 6:00 no less. Bravo!!!!
I had planned a Yoga class at 7:30 so we didn’t partake in delicious beverages, wild meals, or dessert. We did however order Miso soups fit with fried parsley dumplings still crunchy to the bite, 8 pieces of Nigiri Tuna so fresh and red, and a crunchy tuna/salmon roll that was a seriously scrumptious explosion of flavors and comfort. I have a thing for tuna, can you tell?
The space was nice and open and airy which I love. There is plenty of room around the bar to watch sushi be prepared, and even an area outside for good eats during the warmer months under the stars or the sun.
I recommend getting in there soon before its the new hot spot so you can enjoy the laxed settings and not have to wait for a table or yum yums. Next time, no Yoga after…I’m going to indulge my big heart out on delectable eats at my new favorite Sushi Restaurant, Tiger Sushi!
Tiger Sushi is located at: 2833 Lyndale Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55408
YUM!
I went with Matthew that day it was FREEZING cold and it was amazing. I could spend my entire pay-check on Sushi… it sure beats Kowalski’s deli fish that have been packing for 9 hours – LOL.
