Barron's take on J Sushi & IYo Cafe

   After we sat down and ordered, J sushi did start to fill up. We arrived a bit early because it opened around 11am and we barely arrived around the start of the lunch rush. The combination tempura was amazingly delicious with the sweet teriyaki sauce. We did manage to order everything planned out in the blog and the chicken teriyaki bento lunch box special.
   Next time we go, I would like to try their Don Katsu bento. It's basically a breaded and fried pork cutlet with the usual extras of tempura veggies, shrimp tempura, and small salad with thousand island dressing. Thousand island dressing seems to be a common staple for most sushi restaurants on their salads.
   Later I will to do a face off comparison between J Sushi versus I <3 Sushi. My favorite part of the experience was trying the fire cracker roll with Juan. The flames surround the sushi roll made our time together in the restaurant feel so romantic.
   Afterward we headed over to IYo Cafe Denton next door to J Sushi for a healthy dessert. As much as I would have liked to try the tempura fried ice cream, we had enough tempura for one day in our meal. IYo Cafe is one of many different frozen yogurt shops that have popped up all over Denton and have become very popular. The unique  flavors of frozen yogurt and vast options for toppings  draws in the crowds for a somewhat healthy dessert. It rivals Beth Marie's Old Fashioned Ice Cream shops with their unique and home made flavors of ice cream, sherbet, and frozen yogurt. What keeps me coming back for more? The lower price and the whimsical thought of my waistline gradually shrinking. Hey, even though I'm a foodie I can dream. lol

J Sushi Review!!!

So Barroni and I get there and it's pretty much deserted, for a second I was thinking "Crap this place is gonna suck!!!!" But lucky for us it didn't. Barroni was in charge of the ordering so I'm not sure what we ordered but everything was delicious. The most worthwhile part of the whole experience was watching Barroni try to pick up some of the flaming tuna with her chopsticks. I love you Barroni!!!
