Peking Duck & Sushi Works

I think this place is now called Oriental Tea and Sushi Works. Whatever the name, this place is amazing. No one is ever in here during lunch and its a shame. The sushi is delicious. No giant gobs of seared rice just perfectly formed rolls for a reasonable price. The shrimp udon is about $ 8 and gigantic. I always try and save half for later but I never do because I cannot stop myself from eating the whole thing in one sitting. I love, love, love this place. I am there basically 3 times a week.

The name of this restaurant is now Peking Duck and Sushi Works, and I just had lunch there for the first time. While a Japanese box lunch with an additional appetizer set me back $ 25, it was mostly well worth it. I started with the fried squid in spicy salt appetizer ($ 5.95). The portion size was great and the fry on the squid was very light and flaky – just wonderful! While the spice could have been more present, the garnish of fried flakes, scallion, peppers and rice noodles were all great. I would recommend sharing this one due to the amount of fried items on the plate. For my lunch, I ordered the salmon box lunch and was disappointed when that was fried as well, since there was no indication that it would be on the menu. While the fish was only lightly battered, it was just unexpected, and that caught me off guard. The steamed veggies that came with it were fresh and wonderful. The garden salad had a pleasant ginger dressing with a hint of orange, and the miso soup was very flavorful. My wife ordered the sushi/​sashimi lunch combo, and while she was pleased that the fish was fresh and served cold (for food safety reasons), it lacked a definitive flavor. We may go back to try the peking duck special in the future, but we will make sure we have more time on our hands first. The server was also the chef and sushi prep, so the speed of delivery of the courses was inefficient.
