Sushi is as Sushi Does! Waraji Japanese Restaurant

Waraji Japanese Restaurant in Raleigh, NC

Dish: Miso Soup and Garden Salad with Ginger Dressing

Critique:  Sweetly wasn’t swept off her feet with the miso soup.  It lacked flavor and seemed a bit watery.  She wished for more miso with her miso!  Now The Hotness is a ginger aficionado and appreciates all things ginger.  The garden salad was exceptional and each bite of the thick ginger dressing left her wanting más.

Miso Score: 2 Out of 4 Hotties!
Salad w/ Ginger Dressing: 4 Out of 4 Hotties!


Dish:  Suzuki 500 Sushi Roll

Critique:  Salmon! Shrimp! Avocado! Eel! Scallions!  And it’s all deep fried? Yes! Sweetly thought she had a winning sushi combination.  However, the flavors didn’t match and the roll tasted a wee bit bland.  Sweetly has since decided that salmon should never be deep fried.  This dish was strike two for Sweetly…

Score: 2 Out of 4 Hotties!



Dish:  Spider Sushi Roll

Critique:  Crab is like bacon, you can never go wrong with it.  The sushi pieces were SO HUGE that The Hotness needed a chainsaw to cut them into edible pieces.  The roll was perfect- it had soft shell crab, scallions, and spicy mayo.  To all sushi amateurs:  The spider roll brings the sushi!  Can you handle it?  Oh, yes you can!

Score: 4 Out of 4 Hotties!



Dish:  Tonkotsu Ramen

Critique:  We will never look at ramen noodles the same way again.  Once the dish arrived, we realized that we were robbed of our formidable ramen years.  Oh yea babe, this was how ramen was supposed to taste.  Forget those old school oodles and noodles, this is was the real deal Holyfield! Ramen noodles, sliced roast pork, steamed spinach, bamboo shoots, green onions, and hard boiled eggs. Fantastic! Easy Homerun!!

Score: 4 Out of 4 Hotties!
