Modesto View : Buzz

Ka-Blam! There is a new star in local dining. Aqua Shi at 910 12th St. is finally open and is nothing less than stellar and worth the wait. From the incredible design, layout, waterfalls, babbling brook, double bars, leather sofas, sushi menu, cloth menus wrapped in bamboo to the little decorated box that brings your bill it is amazing. Even if you are a jaded So-ma-Manhattanite, you will be impressed. The food lives up to the look as well. My sushi, prepared by Caleb with over 6 years of sushi chef experience was fresh and beautiful. The maguro was especially good. There are pork tenderloin, filet and plenty of other entrees for the non-fish or sushi eater so all will be happy. Top it off with some ginger crème brulee. The servers were excellent and the owners Jeremy and Ben need a high-5. You need to check it out right away and then post your reviews in ModestoView.com the home of independent Modesto dining. Think about it. Galletto, Tressetti's, Dewz, Harvest Moon, 1505 and the rest are a stellar line up. Modesto has it good for dining so get out there and check them out.

Does anyone know of a specific restuarant in Modesto that serves 'fast' Grilled or 6 min pan fried Wild [or Farm raised] Salmon on Saturdays for early Supper or regular Dinner?

I've checked the Yellow Pages, and "Seafood" category almost extinct. I keyword ModestoView restaurants, nothing comes up except the wonderful "Catfish"; which seems to be closed on weekends.

We would appreciate an e|Mail reply from anyone that knows.

I have dinned in just about all Modesto sushi restaurants and I found Aqua Shi to be one of the best.

The service was decent, but they still seem to be working out some of the kinks. I had to ask for wasabi, and the wait for sushi was extremely long, but the crew was very kind.

I was a bit disappointed with the menu, No UNI, Seaweed salad and they ran out of Miso soup.

I was able to tolerate the minor menu issues due to the restaurant being in it's infant stages and they fairly good service.

My grade for this restaurant is a B- and hopefully it will make the minor adjustments to become an A restaurant.

Peace
