SEI Yes

    When Chris and I think of Sushi we immediately think of SEI; a chicly designed sushi lounge/ Asian cuisine restaurant near the corner of 7th and E, NW. With its close to all white interior and dim lighting, the colorful dishes are the main focus of this contemporary Penn Quarter spot.

     Returning to SEI I was in need of my usual; the Triple Tuna Roll (now renamed the Capital Roll), a classic spicy tuna roll that you can never go wrong with. Although, upon further conversation with our waitress we were convinced to go with the Tuna Serrano Roll instead. We also ordered the Wasabi Guacamole, The Fish and Chips Roll, and the Sea Bass Sliders.

     Now we aren't sure if it is our addiction to guacamole that put us in love with the wasabi guac dish, but this combination of spicy avocado filled wanton chips dipped in soy sauce put us over the edge. The whole plate was downed in mere seconds and we found ourselves scraping the bowl for whatever leftover guacamole we could scavenge. As for the rolls, if you are a sushi lover but not a huge fan of the fishy taste these two rolls are for you. The Fish and Chips Roll had a light texture from the flounder and great crunch to it from the crispy chip toppings. The sauce accompanied the roll fantastically as well, adding a creamy onion taste. The Tuna Serrano Roll had a nice crunch from the arugula and a kick from the jalapeño garnish but if you are a tuna lover and want the tuna taste, go for the Capital Roll. To finish off our SEI experience we ended the night with the Sea Bass Sliders. These bite sized fish burgers are a great way to fill your stomach but still leave you enough room for dessert. DISCLAIMER: We don't recommend eating these on a first date, they are hot and messy and only suitable for the eyes of friends and family.


    We may have not ordered dessert but have nothing bad to say about anything from their sweets menu. We also hear that the Orange Miso Bread Pudding is highly recommended. All in all our meal was stellar and SEI is definitely a must for any sushi lovers.

     Eat up,
       Chris and Alex
