The Cutting Board (Georgetown)

Georgetown has been slowly growing over the past few years. An auto parts supply store closes up and a kitchy little store opens in its place. Then comes a waxing salon, a couple of funky vegetarian place. And now…..sushi. But not just any sushi. Sushi made by one of the former chefs from Wasabi Bistro.
Kurry King has left, and in its place is “The Cutting Board,” a little sushi and teriyaki place with the emphasis on rolls. No nigiri. No sashimi. But so many rolls it’ll make your head spin. Over 60 different kinds. It was overwhelming to read the menu. They also have bento boxes with teriyaki, or black cod, or chicken karaage. As well as the usual range of edamame, miso, sunomono, and assorted snacks.
The place is small, but clean and welcoming with a chubby Totoro on the counter and beautiful blooming orchids. And the woman at the counter couldn’t stop smiling.
“Arigato!” She chimed after I ordered and again after I paid.
I couldn’t even think about the hot food. When I am near sushi I must have sushi.
I ordered the Miyagi (salmon, tuna, albacore and avocado), the Wakayama (shrimp tempura, ume, shiso, cucumber, tuna on top) and the Ooita (unagi, cucumber, avocado, extra unagi on top with teriyaki). And of course some edamame.
All were wonderful. The Ooita was my favorite. Though the unagi was sadly not still warm, it was perfectly cooked and set off well by the crunch of thinly sliced cucumber and ripe avocado. The Wakayama encased a crunchy shrimp tempura and was brightened by a touch of shiso. And the Miyagi was topped with toasted sesame seeds.
A few other georgetown souls (i.e., 30 year old men wearing carharts) came in while I was there, but otherwise it was deserted. Hopefully that will change once word gets out.
Next time I’ll have to try the teriyaki.
p.s. If you click on the second and third pictures you can read the menu
