I felt some trepidation about redeeming my free Express Lunch. Sushi-San's appeal lies more in the ambiance than the food. Their menu aims to please a broad spectrum of palates and offers too much variety for my taste. Charcoal grilled beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and rice bowls do not inspire me. When I go to a sushi restaurant, I want sushi and only sushi.
But free is always a good deal and Sushi-San's lively ambiance and friendly waitstaff more than make up for the salty miso soup in our Express Lunch. So give it a go, enjoy a free lunch and remember to tip your server on the amount you would have paid.

Express Lunch with San-Specialty: Tako Taco and Raw Tuna and Avocado Rice Bowl.
The Express Lunch offers an economical way to sample some of Sushi-San's non-sushi items. Diners can choose between 4 different San-Specialty items and 4 Rice Bowl items for their main dishes. My dear friend and artist M.R. Shebesta ordered the Tako Taco for her choice of San-Specialty and enjoyed the fried nori and tempura "taco" shell. She offered the beau and I a bite of the taco shell and I must admit it had a nice crispness. I also enjoyed the last of her Raw Tuna Avocado Rice Bowl which she could not finish. At $16, this is quite the deal.
Express Sushi & Sashimi: Tuna, Suzuki and Salmon
The beau and I split this one because he has a small appetite and did not want to get stuck with too much food. It happens a lot to us, thanks to the oversize portions in most U.S. restaurants. The American tendency to supersize everything is no joke and we often find ourselves eating the same leftovers from one restaurant meal for days. Not something you want to have happen with sushi.
At $22, this Express Sushi & Sashimi is a bit pricey for most lunch budgets but worth the splurge for the nice variety of preparation. Sashimi, nigiri and makis provide different ways to enjoy each species of fish and get a taste of their Oma-Kaze menu. Thankfully, none of the makis contained those dreadful greasy tempura crumbles that I despise in sushi. And the lotus root in what looked like the Salmon Ginger maki added a nice crunch that complimented the fresh salmon flavor.
