Assorted temaki (hand rolls) – Tenka Japanese Restaurant

I think I’m undecided whether I truly like hand rolls or not. It’s just a lot of seawead to deal with and these were chewy and hard to chew through, making it hard to neatly eat the rolls. They do stuff quite a lot of filling in these hand rolls and you don’t have to use chopsticks, which is great for incompetent users like myself. The spicy tako temaki was my favorite!

With wild smoked salmon, capers, and red onions.  Served on an English muffin with a fabulous light lemon hollandaise, with salad and orange wedge. Two for $13

You can’t go wrong with smoked salmon, onions and capers!  Add a poached egg and hollandaise sauce and you have an even better combination!  These eggs benedicts are filling and refreshing at the same time.  David always opts for the salad – he does eat healthier than me, hehe.

Rainbow Roll Kama Sushi

8 pieces snow crab, avocado roll topped with tuna, salmon, ebi, hamachi, tai and avocado.  $11.95
Kama Sushi, San Francisco

The rainbow roll is perfect for the indecisive person like me because you essentially get an assortment of sashimi on top of a California roll.  Yay!  The fish quality at Kama was great and the services was very friendly and attentive.  Went there for happy hour and will definitely return!

Smoked salmon served with succulent crabmeat and crispy crostini, caper berries on the side.

I must admit that I expected something else when I ordered these salmon “rolls”. Not sure where the rolls are, but they were tasty nonetheless. For airport food, I was surprised that the salmon and crab meat tasted fresh and delicious. And the caper berries were a great addition.

Wine flights Vino Volo
You can’t go to a wine bar without trying some wine, so I ordered the Backyard red wine flight and David had a white wine flight.
