Food Review: Sushi Nest, Elmhurst

First off, kudos to Elmhurst and their downtown overhaul. Not that this place was ever a dump, but this shows that the town cares about it's citizens and commerce. With that said, dinner was at an establishment called Sushi Nest (142 N. York Rd.), in a very popular section of the downtown. The theater is a few doors down, and other restaurants in stone's throw distance for a little competition. We went early, so the place was empty, but an hour later, business was flowing, even for a Sunday. The usual order of white tuna, scallops, spicy tuna roll, sea bass (Suzuki), spicy crab roll, roe, salmon, Philly roll was excellent. Fish was fresh and tasty, and we didn't have to wait a long time either. Presentation, which is always key for sushi, was great. What stood out the most was on the special list, called a Grenade, or Hand Grenade. It was $8 for two pieces. A little high on the price, but after the first bite, it was worth it. I've had the Sunny Side Shitake appetizer from Coast in Bucktown, so the taste was familiar. It was prawn and shrimp with other things that reminded me of the egg-lemon taste of the Sunny Side Shitake. All I can say is that they emphasize the Volcano Roll, but the Grenade gets the thumbs up. Overall, it is a little expensive, but if you want good sushi, which I know a lot of people have not had, this is a good place to go. Most of the good restaurants are in Chicago, but if you are in the Western Suburbs, go here.
