Sushi Deluxe just opened in May 2007 and it is located in the popular intersection between Schweigaardgate and Grønlandsleiret. It is great that there are several places opening up on the east side of town, and Le Meo Sushi - who also recently opened a restaurant on Grønland - will get a run for their money in Sushi Deluxe.

It looks a bit dodgy from the outside, and you can’t really call it a restaurant - it is a take out place with a couple of tables inside. In addition to sushi they also serve some other things like ice cream, cakes and some wok dishes, but it was their sushi menu was what we were after.

And they had a fun menu, including combinations I have not seen before. After ordering I discovered a tropical maki on the menu with banana! I know I have to go back to try that one out at some point. The presentation was great for being a take out place. Their tempura maki and softshell crab was not quite crunchy enough though, but their philadelphia roll and their special roll with spicy tuna and shrimp was very good.

The biggest drawback with the experience was that the rice was way to mushy. It was too soft, too manhandled and also a bit too sweet for me. Having four maki rolls of that was a bit too much, and I never can have too much maki rolls. So - it does not reach up to the best restaurants in town, but hey - it is a take out place and for the price you pay I think it is still well worth a visit!

Summary:

A very OK take out place with some improvement potential. So - when they get their sushi rice act together, I will be back! Probably sooner…
