KENNETT SQUARE: A new sushi venue

What a good sport Dearest Partner is! Though not a sushi fan, he agreed to try Roll'Eat Sushi, the newest restaurant in the food court at the Market at Liberty Place in downtown Kennett. On Wednesday evening their "special rolls" are half-price, so we ordered two of them (a cooked one for him, a raw one for me), as well as a seaweed salad. They warned us that the sushi chef was so busy that there would be a half-hour wait -- which was fine with us.
We took our Japanese Ramune sodas to a table and between the two of us figured out how to open them. First you peel off the tight plastic wrapper around the cap (which required some assistance from a car key). Then you remove the cap and break off a little plastic plunger, which you use to dislodge the clear glass marble that seals the bottle. The marble drops down into the soda and makes it fizz. It's pretty cool.

When they arrived, the rolls were very attractive and came with packets of soy sauce and the customary fiery wasabi and fresh ginger on the side. I loved my Sunset roll (tempura shrimp, cucumber, avocado, salmon, scallions) and the D.P. allowed that his Firebird roll (tempura shrimp, avocado, salmon, cream cheese) "wasn't bad" and was agreeably spicy.

Tae Gum Lee is the owner/chef of Roll'Eat. Their menu is online at rolleatsushi.com.
