You know the saying, "you can never have too much of a good thing"? Sometimes this is true. You can have too many beers, too much sugar and yes, you can have too many cats (all much to my chargin). However, you can never have too many friends, too many dinner dates and too much sushi. I was fortunate enough to have all three on the night I went to check out the new Suehiro location on the east side of town.
Suehiro has been Fort Collins' sushi mecca for 25 years in the heart of Old Town on Linden Street. With locations already in Colorado Springs and Telluride, owners Ed and SeonAh Kendall added a second Fort Collins location in the Front Range Village Center on East Harmony at the end of November. This location is less traditional and seemingly smaller than the Old Town spot, but with a more sophisticated, modern atmosphere. However, it is also lacking the nuances that make Japanese dining a unique experience (hot towels, tatami tables, etc.).
he sushi was great. It was fresh, firm, well formed with delicious flavors of the sea. I was less than impressed with the Spider Roll ends which were somewhat difficult to eat with the fried crab protruding out from them. I also think they could have simplified the rolls some, leaving off the garnishes of mayo and whatnot. The sushi is good enough to stand on it's own and sometimes less is more. In this case, the flavor of the roll would shine through making them even better - the Dragon Roll and Buddha Roll were great examples of this. This is exactly why I think the best pieces we had came from the sashimi orders.
Many people claim that Suehiro is the best sushi restaurant in Fort Collins. While I wouldn't make that claim, they do have good sushi in a beautiful restaurant with decent prices. That night at Suehiro I found that less is more when it comes to sushi concoctions and additional flair, but you can never have enough friends to enjoy it with.
