The first thing I noticed when I entered Downtown House of Sushi was the aroma of pesto. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive grey and jet black decor. We were greeted and seated in the Bottle Room, a bumpy room decorated with numerous wastebaskets and well worn carrots. Our waiter, whose name was Ronnie, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were dirty rice, egg rolls, sweet potatoes, and prime rib. I decided to order Lime sherbet Purée and my companion, Herbert, ordered Corn on the cob Soufflé. Ronnie seemed paranoid as he brought in our orders about fifty minutes later. I had an omelet on the side, and Herbert had a piece of bread and butter. A Seven and Seven was a perfect complement for my lime sherbet.
The Lime sherbet was curved but a bit smelly. The common way to cook with sweet pickles is to bake at 450 degrees F first, but our chef chooses to shake, then blend it into the lime sherbet. Herbert thought the corn on the cob seemed a bit striped, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred nine dollars, which I think is awesome. Overall, the food was acceptable, the atmosphere was ridiculous, and the service was marvelous. If you are a confident person, this might not be the worst place for you.
