The post Sosumi Sushi (Mehadrin): Large Variety of Sushi – See Menu appeared first on Mehadrin Restaurants in Israel.

My wife and I were on our way to a nearby restaurant to celebrate Rosh Chodesh. As we approached our destination, we noticed the sign of My Sushi, and since we’re really fond of sushi and Asian food, this peeked our interest. When we saw it was mehadrin, we decided to give it a go.

Entrance to My Sushi on Beit HaDfus St.

Ambience at My Sushi

My Sushi’s seating and decor are simple but pleasant. In addition to their indoor seating, they recently added the option to sit outdoors. Inside, the seating is on upholstered chairs and sofas, and outdoor seating – cafe style – with small round tables and chairs (there weren’t any shade umbrellas outside yet, but they’re probably coming).

My Sushi was hopping. The waiters were rushing back and forth to the kitchen and we saw lots of takeaway orders being called in as well. The staff in the kitchen who were preparing the cooked Asian food were extremely busy, I could see them through the window, so were the staff behind the counter who were preparing the sushi.

The Food

The variety of sushi and Asian food on the menu is quite large. As has become the sushi standard around the world, here too you can order the sushi inside-out (rice outside and Nori inside) or outside-in (Nori on the outside), fish outside and the rest inside etc etc. Anyone ever hear of an inside-out hamburger?! Me neither.

We ordered two servings of maki sushi, one with salmon and the other with red tuna. The presentation was simple: cut sushi rolls lined up, a small ball of wasabi and some ginger all positioned on an elongated white dish. The sushi was delicious. The rice was nicely seasoned and the fish was soft.

Salmon Maki Sushi

We also ordered sushi sandwiches with salmon and avocado, and despite my fanaticism for standard, old fashioned sushi, I was very impressed by the look and taste of the dish. The sandwiches were triangular shaped with the rice serving as the “bread,” decorated with white sesame seeds and nigella. and the fish, the avocado and nori were the filling. I highly recommend this dish.

Salmon Sushi Sandwiches

The rainbow roll was also very tasty and very worthwhile ordering. The roll is wrapped with a thin strip of tender salmon surrounding the round-shaped sushi and it too was garnished with sesame seeds and nigella.

Since we wanted to test out something besides sushi we also ordered a chicken noodle dish. It was served in an attractive black bowl and decorated with chopped scallions. The green onions together with the orange carrots, beige noodles and dark mushrooms created a colorful and inviting dish. The seasoning was very good, and the chicken was tender and tasty.

Service

The service at My Sushi was courteous and quick. Our waiter was a young man who had made aliyah from France judging by his accent. He really tried hard to please us. The dishes arrived shortly after we ordered despite the large number of orders that kept flowing in. The waiters, the kitchen staff and the owner worked hard to deliver the food punctually.

The post My Sushi – Sushi & Asian Food in Jerusalem – Review appeared first on Mehadrin Restaurants in Israel.

The restaurant is under the kosher mehadrin supervision of the Jerusalem Rabbinate and the Chatam Sofer (Petach Tikva).

Sushi platter for special occasions

The menu is packed with a myriad of sushi options ranging from the standard nigiri sushi (fresh raw fish on rice), hosomaki (rice & fish rolled in seaweed) and uramaki (inside-out rolls with seaweed inside and rice outside) but also offers all sorts of less purist types of rolls and fillings and sauces. Just to name a few:

• Spicy tuna uramaki in chile-mayonaise sauce with cucumber and avocado covered with sesame and tempura chips (36 NIS)
• Warm tempura sandwich with salmon, salmon skin, sweet potato and avocado coated with a crispy panko-tempura crust (44 NIS)
• Brown rice rolls with your choice of fish and fillings (38 NIS)

Sushi Rechavia offers SO many other Asian dishes in addition to sushi though. Check out the Asian chicken strips which are coated in panko and sesame and served with sweet chile sauce (36 NIS). This is listed under “Starters” It certainly is a good start, and for some, it’s a big enough portion to be called a finisher. Take a look below.  

Asian chicken strips

You can choose from a list of tasty deep fried hot tempura rolls like the Veggie Tempura with tamago, kanpyo (dried shavings of calabash, a type of gourd), sweet potato and asparagus with tempura coating and a touch of teriyaki. It’s also worthwhile trying the salmon or tuna tempura, but if you want something really different there’s the Tiger-eye hot tempura roll which is filled with salmon, sea bass, avocado, sweet potato, tamago, asparagus and seaweed with a touch of sweet chile sauce. If that’s not a Asian culinary adventure, then what is?

Tuna hosomaki

Salmon hosomaki

Sushi Rechavia added several icons to their menu to bring your attention to certain dishes to help you decide what is and what isn’t for you. For instance, a ribbon medallion appears next to the dishes recommended by the house. A hot pepper icon signifies, “beware, this is a bit spicy” whereas an icon which looks like a carrot (well kind of) brings your attention to dishes that are vegetarian.

I started my meal with some sake – served at room temperature. You can order it warm, in Japanese tradition, but I just can’t get used to drinking warm wine. The sake was delicious and acted as a booster rocket getting all my systems ready for lift off when the sushi arrived.

Sake wine

The sushi was excellent. The fish was definitely fresh and everything came together the way it should. We ordered several types of standard hosomaki with red tuna and salmon and then we tried the Sake Yuzo Roll made with red tuna, asparagus, cucumber and shitake mushrooms with pickled salmon topped with teriyaki and yuzo cream. It was quite a interesting taste experience, especially since it’s my first time tasting yuzo.  The presentation was impressive (see below).

The seating at Sushi Rechavia is very pleasant. You can choose to sit either at your own table or at a quaint sushi bar.

The service was quite prompt and very friendly.

The restaurant offers take away and they have a delivery service, but presently the service is available only to certain neighborhoods. There is good news though. The delivery service is expected to expand in the near future, according to Yoni, the restaurant’s manager, to many more neighborhoods.

Take away sushi

If you’re looking for superb sushi at really reasonable prices, I highly recommend Sushi Rechavia in Har Hotzvim.
