Late Night Bites At Abokado
The girls and I stopped in at Abokado for a late night bite of sushi while enjoying a night out at Mary Brickell village. When we first walked down the stairs and over into the quieter interior pavilion, we were confused by the merging outdoor seating of Blu and Abokado. Italian sushi, anyone? Both restaurants had no tables left outside, but the insides were relatively empty. We decided on sushi instead of pizza and were soon seated inside Abokado's posh dining room. The menu is innovative and extensive, but a bit pricey for the amount of food you receive. We opted for the chilled soba noodle salad. The buckwheat noodles soaked up the tasty poblano-miso viniagrette and julienne vegetables and sprouts added a nice crunch. At $8.00, this item doesn't break the bank and leaves you with room for an entree or a roll. The girls all ordered rolls from Abokado's list of signature rolls named playfully in the Asian Pan-Latin style of the restaurant — Amaya, Revolucion, Malinche and Bossa Nova. The Temptation roll was particularly tasty bringing together to of our sushi house favorites, shrimp tempura topped with spicy tuna.
