Restaurant Rave: Sushi Avenue

There is one particular sushi joint in my neck of the woods that is absolutely fabulous: Sushi Avenue.

It is located on Green Street in Champaign, where the old Dorcas Korean place used to be. If you're sad or suicidal about Dorcas not being there anymore, not to worry; Sushi Avenue has kept the old Dorcas menu for those craving some Jab Chae with their spicy tuna roll.

Sushi Avenue offers a great lunch special: 2 sushi rolls, miso soup, and salad for $11.28 (including tax.) You get your choice of one basic sushi roll (these include, but are not limited to, spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and, cucumber) and one of the house specials. Now, the house specials are not your typical run of the mill sushi rolls; they are unique to Sushi Avenue and utilize traditional (and not so traditional) sushi ingredients to create mouthwatering sensations. My personal favorite is Hell. You can even sample your favorite cities; try a Las Vegas roll, or a New York roll. Heck, you can even sample Champaign, or Urbana--in your mouth.

So roll down to Sushi Avenue sometime. They redefine why sushi is so amazing.
