Ebi Ebi Sushi

When picking somewhere to review, I wanted to try to find something in Seguin that I have never had before. It was a little difficult considering I was born and raised here and have almost tried every restaurant in town. I have always heard about Ebi Ebi Sushi, good things too, but I had never taken the time to go and try it out. I picked up takeout for dinner and it did not disappoint! 

The restaurant is located in downtown Seguin, directly across from the courthouse. It's easy to miss because those businesses are so close together, but once you find it, you'll always know where it is. When walking inside, the restaurant was much bigger than I thought it would be looking at it from the outside. It went back much further than it looks, it's very clean inside, and also inviting with a lot of seats available. The people who have suggested Ebi Ebi to me were people who work close to downtown Seguin, and they go often. I ordered my food online but I did have to go inside and pick up my food, everyone was super nice, and helped me as soon as I walked in. I went on a Monday around 6, there wasn't a lot of people there, but I can imagine Ebi Ebi getting busy on the weekends. I ended up choosing Ebi Ebi because I have only heard good things, it's in Seguin which is where I live, and it's a small business.

Ebi Ebi offers sushi and hibachi dinners, so I had a lot of options. I am already pretty picky about the sushi I eat, so I knew going in that I would be getting a hibachi dinner. They offered a lot of sushi options, I'll have to keep try some next time I go back. They do offer raw sushi, and that is just something I will never order or be willing to try. (I actually have tried raw tuna and I was not a fan)

This is the bag it came in, it says "Eat local. Eat often." It's a small touch, but I really like the bag. I could have easily chosen something in San Marcos or New Braunfels, but I really wanted to find something local in town, and I'm glad I did.

I ordered pork gyoza for an appetizer, chicken hibachi, vegetables, fried rice, and a soup on the side. This is the dinner portion and I can positively say it was a lot of food. I do not have a good sense of smell, but my family told me that is smells very good and then they proceeded to ask for a bite. So I think that's a good sign!

I am a picky eater, I always have been, but I do believe that I have gotten better over time! This food was very good, the rice was incredible, veggies weren't too hard, or too soft, the chicken was cooked perfectly. The gyoza was very fresh, and went perfectly with the soy sauce that it came with. The soup! So good! I'm always nervous that it may be too salty, or cold, or taste not as good as I've had in the past at other restaurants. Overall, the food was a 9/10 for me! I'm a little disappointed in myself for not going sooner, but I'm happy to have finally tried it and shared it with others for this assignment. If anyone is looking for a new place to try in Seguin, put Ebi Ebi on the list!
