Last week we discovered yet another reason to frequent Elway’s Downtown: sushi. Starting at 4 p.m. each day, chef Jake Rand (who spent a total of seven years at Sushi Den) works his skills at the bar.
Rather than stocking the full range of fish, Rand offers a more boutique experience with six of the most popular types. Even so, he says there’s something for every type of sushi lover.
That's only $1 per issue!
Menu highlights include the striped bass sashimi served over ice with lightly seared Hokkaido scallops. In this dish, six disks of seared scallop, dressed with fresh lemon juice, a hint of truffle oil, and micro cilantro, sit atop English cucumber. Snap one up—no need for soy sauce—for a refreshing summer bite.
Bonus: Check out Elway’s Sushi Sundays for two-for-one sashimi deals and a $20 tasting menu that includes miso soup, edamame, choice of roll and nigiri sushi, as well as bottled beer or glass of select sake.
