🍴 HOT AND FRESH OUT OF THE KITCHEN-

Takosan once went big to take Cairo by storm with their sushi burritos — now they’re going small. Alongside the burritos, tacos and poké bowls we’ve come to love, Takosan is now rolling out (get it?) Soy, the sushi arm of the restaurant.

You won’t need to go far to find your favorites. Staples like salmon avocado hoso maki, the divisive spider roll, and the spicy salmon roll are there if you’re looking for some comfort food, but you can find creative options like the double salmon roll with salmon and avocado (duh), spring onion, and ponzu mayo.

Familiar sushi rolls are always good… but rarely surprising. Here are some new things to try. Truffle enthusiasts will find two rolls to indulge in — the sake truffle roll and the tuna truffle roll. The brightness of the fresh salmon, cucumber, and avocado balance out the heartiness of the truffle mayo and furikake. But the tuna variation stole the show — the leaner fish was better complemented by the umami of the truffle mayo.

Two new rolls we were excited to try (and you would be too if you love some heat) were the spicy jewel roll and the tuna delight roll. The spicy jewel roll combines salmon, ginger, avocado, and a fiery sriracha sauce. The tuna delight adds sesame oil and wasabi mayo to the minced fish and sriracha filling.

WHERE TO FIND IT- As of now, the only branch in C-Town that serves sushi is in IntersectionMall in Sheikh Zayed.
