Sushi Rika

J stopped at the new apartment tonight after work to check on what's becoming some rapidly visible progress. There are some things that are tedious but not really visibly apparent to us lay people--patching and smoothing a wall, or re-wiring electrical circuts, for example. However, there are some things that really change a room. Today, that change was the hardwood. All our damaged boards have been replaced, other boards have been re-laid so they point the same way, and the kitchen finally has beautiful new hardwood instead of dilapidated linoleum!

After checking out the apartment by flashlight (no lights for now!) we decided to go to Sushi Rika and not order our usual two items: a lion king roll: lightly torched sashimi salmon on a California roll; and Al Bap: Korean style chopped sashimi with chili paste on a bed of lettuce.

Today, we started with a sashimi sampler.

J chose a double salmon roll.
I had udon with tempura on the side.

I was hoping for a nice bowl of hot soup, but for some reason this was only lukewarm. Overall it was a decent meal; exactly what we've come to expect from Sushi Rika. But next time I think I'll revert to our favorites!
