Ok. The preface of this post has to be that Mastro’s Ocean Club at Kierland can actually do no wrong in Ashley’s opinion. It’s the place she celebrated her 40th birthday and the splurge for the Japanese A5 Wagyu is worth every penny. But we aren’t here to talk about non-sushi items, so we’re going to focus.

The sushi selection is limited as of the date of this blog — 4 selections. That being said, limited doesn’t mean that the items are anything short of wonderful. Chef Angel Carbajal of Nick- San Cabo San Lucas developed the list and it’s fantastic.

Top on the list for us is the Maguro Lime Role. If you can fit the giant bite in your mouth, there’s a kick of spice in the roll. What you’ll find: big eye tuna, California yellow pepper, spicy mayo, and avocado– wrapped in sushi rice and nori seaweed paper, and topped lime slides. More than enough to share.

As a side note, the service here is amazing. I suppose it should be given the fine dining experience, but I have to say I genuinely appreciate a kind server who spends the time to share information and opinions about the food — and you’ll find that here.

Ok, ok. I also can’t resist posting a photo of the wagyu beef. Very necessary if you’re celebrating something special.
