This is the sign above the sushi place in Arlington, TX where we ate on Saturday evening. It was very good sushi, though we have had better. The service was rather slow and inept, but got better as the evening progressed. We didn't eat as much as I would have liked, inasmuch as I would have had to have mortgaged our home and our future. Our menu consisted primarily of sashimi: albacore tuna; sesame seared tuna; and conch. We also had unagi (grilled freshwater eel) and wasabi crusted salmon roll. One interesting aspect of the place was that most of the sushi chefs were twenty-something Americans; most sushi spots we visit have Japanese men doing the work. The relative lack of Japanese sushi chefs notwithstanding (there was one Japanese guy who I took to be the leader), the food was good. Turns out the place was the original location of what is now a two-restaurant "chain" in the DFW area. You can learn more about the place at www.piranhakillersushi.com.
