    Sushi-Fest 2009

    Shogun 27. Kendall Park, NJ. If you like sushi (and I'm talking sushi sushi -- medium to high-grade fish -- not that grocery store crap...) you need to go there NOW!



    They are currently offering the most incredible sushi deal around. Seriously! Check out what my wife and I ate tonight (or should I say, what we were served tonight. We were only able to make a small dent into what was offered):

    • 2 cups of miso soup
    • 2 house salads
    • 2 pieces of tuna sushi
    • 2 pieces of salmon sushi
    • 2 pieces of yellow tail sushi
    • 2 pieces of white fish sushi
    • 2 pieces of crab sushi
    • 2 pieces of mackerel
    • 2 pieces of Spanish mackerel sushi
    • 2 pieces of white tuna sushi
    • 2 pieces of surf clam sushi
    • 2 pieces of shrimp sushi
    • 1 tuna roll
    • 1 salmon roll
    • 1 yellow tail roll
    • 1 cucumber roll
    • 1 spicy tuna roll
    • 2 scoops of ice cream
    How much was this feast?

    $37.95

    That's it! Isn't that crazy? Let's take a closer look at the math, shall we?

    According to the menu, these are the amounts one would normally spend:

    • 20 pieces of sushi -- $50.85
    • 5 sushi rolls -- $28.20
    • 2 miso soups -- $4.30
    • 2 house salads -- $3.90
    • 2 ice creams -- $6.50
    • GRAND TOTAL -- $93.75
    • (What we paid -- $37.95)
    • TOTAL SAVINGS -- $55.80!!!
    Incredible!!!

    We were completely floored at the amount of quality food that we received. I'd write more, but I'm still reeling from the meal.

    Bottom line: If you like sushi and live in central Jersey, GO TO SHOGUN 27!!!
