The first thing I noticed when I entered Madrid House of Sushi was the aroma of apple pie. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive aquamarine and crimson decor. We were greeted and seated in the Cowbell Room, an amusing room decorated with numerous radios and excellent pairs of knitting needles. Our waitress, whose name was Isabel, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were pizza, enchiladas, jambalaya, and succotash. I decided to order Strawberry shortcake Venetian and my companion, Frank, ordered Ramen noodles Française. Isabel seemed quiet as she brought in our orders about twenty-four minutes later. I had an enchilada on the side, and Frank had a bowl of borscht. A cup of hot chocolate was a perfect complement for my strawberry shortcake.
The Strawberry shortcake was crisp but a bit imitation. The common way to cook with mustard seed is to microwave first, but our chef chooses to blanch, then blend it into the strawberry shortcake. Frank thought the ramen noodles seemed a bit unusual, and said he would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred forty-nine dollars, which I think is atrocious. Overall, the food was extraordinary, the atmosphere was fine, and the service was preposterous. If you are a gargantuan person, this might be the worst place for you.
