Yasu!

With downtown Waltham just a few minutes from my office, the team travels a few times a month to a great sushi joint there - Yasu.

The first time we ate there for a team outing we might have ordered 1/2 of the menu.
The roll selection was unbelievable. Here are some favorites:

• Crazy - while a two-bite roll, the spicy tuna and shrimp combo is not to be missed.
• Honey - I'm not sure why this is called Honey - there isn't any honey in the roll, and it isn't particularly sweet, but it is great. Ebi, asparagus and avocado is a winning combo.
• Rainbow (of course) - their version of this classic is fantastic.
• Sweet Potato - no fish to be found in this dish, but the tempura fried sweet potato topped with eel sauce is wonderful.
• Volcano - now this is a new sushi experience for me - crab salad, avocado, cucumber topped with what - baked scallops in a spicy sauce! A-mazing.
• Wonderful - just as is sound - smoked salmon with cucumber and avocado TOPPED with more salmon. Yum.

In addition to the other traditional rolls, of course. The fish is fresh, and orders come quick. Perfect for a lunch time stop with coworkers.

As for other menu items to take a look at, make sure to try the edamame, shumai (steamed is my own preference) along with the seaweed salad.
