Sushi Zushi

Sushi with a Texas spin (think jalapeno and chipotle) distinguishes this inviting spot, which also offers a wide array of Japanese entrees. Their menu is extensive. While they offer a variety of traditional choices, their talent lies in creating clever and delicious fusions that merge American and Texas tastes with Japanese ingredients. Their Cosimo Roll, for example is a winner, with fried shrimp and cream cheese, rolled uramaki style, wrapped in avocado, then tempura fried and topped with Tampa Bay, sprinkled with furikake, and finally, drizzled with eel sauce. With a spacious dining area, fun cocktails and desserts, always friendly service and affordable choices, Sushi Zushi is an easy go-to.
