Sushi Roku unveils new menu..2.0 brings you Kobe Meatballs, Albacore Tacos and more!

 Following the successful menu relaunch of the Los Angeles Sushi Roku locations, Innovative Dining Group (IDG) unveiled a new menu on September 14 at Sushi Roku Las Vegas, showcasing novel and innovative signature dishes. Guests will find new additions to the lunch, dinner, and happy hour menus, including Salmon Sashimi Carpaccio with Black Truffle (shaved tableside); Kobe Meatballs in Lettuce Cups with mustard soy truffle sauce; Albacore Tacos “Roku Style”; and the Ume (six-piece) and Matsu (eight-piece) Roku Signature-Style Sushi Creations.

Two of the most celebrated new dishes on the re-styled menu are the Ume and Matsu Signature-Style Sushi plates, featuring six or eight individual pieces of nigiri-style sushi, crafted with accoutrements that complement each fish’s flavor profile. The Ume Signature Style Sushi features Japanese Sea Bream, Scottish Salmon, Japanese Yellowtail, Seared Albacore, Bluefin Tuna, and King Crab. The Matsu Plate includes the Ume selections and the addition of Seared Bluefin Tuna and Santa Barbara Sea Urchin. Sushi Roku’s new menu continues to highlight innovative, globally inspired Japanese cuisine, while expanding its offerings to include a new selection of dishes made with the finest fish from around the globe and other exceptional ingredients. Executive Sushi Chef Hiroshi Shima has spent four decades perfecting his craft, and oversees the teams of experienced sushi chefs at each Sushi Roku restaurant. His formal training reinforces traditional technique, but he frequently applies flavors from a variety of influences, incorporating nontraditional ingredients such as Jalapeños from Latin America, French Black Truffles, and Italian cheeses into his offerings.

 In addition to Sushi Roku, IDG operates BOA Steakhouse at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. The company also operates seven of the most popular and successful restaurants in Los Angeles: Sushi Roku (with locations in West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Pasadena), BOA Steakhouse (with locations in West Hollywood and Santa Monica), Katana in West Hollywood, and Robata Bar in Santa Monica. IDG also has a presence in Scottsdale with a Sushi Roku restaurant at the W Hotel. Their latest concepts include the modern California bistro Delphine at the W Hollywood, and two adjacent lounges, Station Hollywood and The Living Room. All of IDG’s venues reflect bold, modern interpretations of traditional concepts, reflective of the company’s youthful, dynamic partners.
