I’m the first to admit, I’m no sushi connoisseur. I like what I like, and every now and again I’ll get adventurous with some new kind of sashimi, but I’m never going to be the dude ordering a big bowl of octopus dongs or anything like that. We’re fortunate that Denton is big enough and has the interest to sustain multiple sushi joints, though what’s unfortunate is the tendency around here to give bad places a pass just to keep variety for variety’s sake.
- Avocado California Roll and Sushi (2430 S Interstate 35 E): This place is not too bad. I would say if you are looking for an entry-level place, this would be a good place to go. It’s certainly not what I would call authentic, but if you’re looking for a for-reals sushi experience, you should probably stay at home and learn how to make the shit yourself. Avocado has a pretty aggressive menu of weird rolls, so it’s a pretty safe bet that anyone can find something they’ll enjoy. They even offer a California roll with fried chicken stuffed inside it, which I’m not ashamed to say I ate the hell out of. The service is good, and the space is nice, though they are in one of the worst imaginable spots, real-estate wise. If you didn’t know where it was already, you’d probably never know it was there. But definitely worthwhile.
Yup.
