Sushi Wabi

It's been a while since we've been to Sushi Wabi, and for a quite neighborhood sushi joint, this is quick and easy.
The only thing that is not easy about this place is the parking.  You want to be quick and make sure you don't park at another vendor's spot.  They are very serious about towing, so if you and friends want to go somewhere later, don't leave your car there.
 Peppered beef, this time it's not as spicy as the first time I went there, it's quite nice.
 Agadashi Tofu, it's nice fried tofu in ponzu sauce topped with bonita shaving.  The tofu can be left in the fryer a little longer.
 Spicy Basil Wings, it's actually not too spicy, but it does have a good taste to the marinate.
 Some kinda of Shiso Hasami Age... it is a mixture of mushroom and shrimp on a shiso leaf, battered and fried.  I think the mushroom & shrimp mix was a tad weak because I can barely taste the flavor on this one.
Unaju - lots of unagi fish over bed of rice... I can eat that all day!
This is from a different trip: unagi
Salmon Cannon Ball.  Frankly, I got it because it looks unique on the menu.  Inside is crab mix with crunchy bits, masago and tuna fish, and of course salmon.
By the way, if you were to order this, make sure you are not hungry and not in a hurry.  Reason being that it takes a long time for them to make.  They have to mix the mixture then they have to wrap it inside a thinly sliced salmon.  Talk about carefully crafted.
