Got a chance to swing by Sushiden on Madison today before they even open – got there at 11:30am and they open at 11:45am. The staff was having a meeting at the time and we sat in the front to wait for the host to seat us.
Sushiden’s menu was a bit on the high side – especially for lunch. Sushiden is no place to get a Bento box or sushi special. We settled on the August Prix Fix special for $25. To give you an idea, a regular roll was $13 while a chirashi was $23. The August Prix Fix was a full meal. We started with a soup and salad which followed with tempuras and a waygu beef roll. The main course was salmon on rice. Rice was quality. The soup had a tad of MSG which caused me to feel a bit sleepy after the meal.
We didn’t get a chance to sample the sake but heard it is worthwhile. Sushiden has real business and Japanese native clientele. It is worth a visit.
