This afternoon I spent two hours with 10 sushi lovers. We go every few months to Station Sushi in Solana Beach (858-481- 9800) for what is always a memorable lunch together. Don't bother to call there, they almost never answer their phone and there's no web site. If you go there for dinner, go early, otherwise the wait is impossible. But it's worth it. They have the freshest fish, the most creative rolls, and nicest servers you could ask for.
Station Sushi is housed in the former residence and real estate office of George B. White. It was built in 1926, and is a historical landmark. The restaurant is funky, old, cluttered, but oh so good. We started our meal with several bowls of heated, salted edemane. It was only noon but we were starved. Next, we ordered a delicious seaweed salad, with a sesame dressing, slightly spicy. We then order a dozen or so different rolls, and ate until we could eat no more. Protein roll, monkey roll, psychedelic roll, crunchy shrimp roll, california roll, salmon skin roll and rainbow roll were just some of what we ate. Food, drinks and tip, and the bill came to $20 per person. Everything was delicious, but Barbie, new to our sushi group, was raving about everything she ate. With eyes rolling, oohing and ahhing with every bite, she most definitely enjoyed the food. Kim, sitting next to her and seeing how she enjoyed it said, "I'll have what she's having". Remember that line from When Harry Met Sally? We all laughed hysterically.
It was a memorable meal for all. Not only did we enjoy the always fantastic food from Station Sushi, but we enjoyed catching up with friends who we hadn't seen in a while.It's always a pleasure to get together with these women and I will try to plan another sushi outing very, very soon. Tonight I'm off to my monthly poker game, promising myself not to eat ANYTHING!!!
