Saturday night we were trying to figure out where to have dinner, and then we remembered that it had been a long time since we'd eaten at Sushi Dot Com (715 North University, Ann Arbor). It was Saturday night, and the streets were full of students, but we managed to find a parking space not too far away and the restaurant was still fairly empty.
Usually we have just sushi, or maybe tempura, or udon, but this time we both decided to try something different, and they do have a large variety of Japanese and Korean dishes to choose from. Janet tried the Chicken Donburi (above), and I had the beef version:
Donburi is a sort of steamed omelet, made eggs, dashi (bonito stock), meat, and vegetables, served over rice, with some shredded nori scattered on top. The stock seeps into the rice, the soft egg and meat sit on top, and the result is a lovely mix of flavors and textures. Janet thought hers was okay, "but not something I'd order again". I thought they were both very good. Chacun à son goût, as they say. We also split a Boston roll to start with:
but the portions of Donburi were so generous we left half the sushi and half of Janet's donburi to take home.
