Phat Boy Sushi Lounge recently opened a new location at The Walk on University. Now you can find their combination of unique creations and Japanese classics much closer to home.
Navigating Phat Boy’s Sushi Lounge menu is like walking down a side street in Tokyo during dinner hours. You will find a wide selection of Sushi, Yakitori, and Ramen, along with your favorite beverages on the menu.
One of their popular drink creations is the Lychee Martini. A great gin martini, flavored with the sweet nectar of Lychee, you will find it hard to just have one.
A traditional appetizer choice, Agedashi Tofu, its lightly fried tofu in a subtle Japanese broth. A wonderful way to wake up your taste buds.
The chef had a special Sashimi salad on the menu. It was a generous pile of fresh Tuna and Salmon served on top of a bed of kale, with a citrus sauce bringing it all together. The texture of kale provides a good contrast with the fish, a surprisingly light starter.
If you want to experience the full Sashimi experience, try their Sashimi platter. It’s a great assorted combination of Salmon, salmon belly, hamachi, (Pacific yellowtail) hamachi belly, and escolar. All the fish is extremely fresh. The salmon egg encased in hamachi belly is a tasty treat, where each bite creates a small pop of buttery flavor in your mouth, coating your taste buds. You have a choice of pickled or standard wasabi. The pickled wasabi provides a different flavor profile, which is highly recommended if you haven’t tried it in the past. Ribeye tobanyaki offers your steak lover a tasty Japanese variant. The ribeye is grilled, sliced, and served in a savory soy sauce with enoki mushrooms, shishito peppers, and tomatoes. A wonderful blend of umami flavors that go well with a side of rice. Beware, a small percentage of the peppers will be spicy.
Another traditional main course choice is Tonkotsu ramen. Ramen, an adaptation of a Chinese noodle dish, allows chefs to showcase their imagination, and has become one of the national dishes of Japan. Phat Boy Sushi Lounge’s ramen noodles are light and fluffy. The ramen are drowned in a tasty broth with hearty servings of egg, pork, and mushrooms. It’s great for lunch or dinner.
Phat Boy Sushi also offers a great selection of desserts. The fried Oreo cookie is a splendid creation that you must try if you love Oreos. Oreo cookies are fried tempura style, and while still warm, combined with refreshing green tea ice cream. It brings memories of summer fair and is a great way to finish your meal.
