Oftentimes, one equates great sushi to the city restaurants but we’ve got a gem right here in Westchester County, NY. It’s gotten to the point that my husband will no longer eat sushi anywhere else. Haiku Asian Bistro and Sushi Bar has three Westchester locations – Bronxville, Mamaroneck and Cross River. The latter being the one we drive to - 20 miles from home no less!

My favorites are the spicy salmon roll and the unicorn roll which is shrimp tempura on the inside and spicy salmon on the outside. If raw fish is not your thing there are plenty of great Pan Asian entrees to choose from. It seems to be a favorite with kids too. They serve the fancy Japanese soda with a ball in the bottle that kids love. For the adults they have some fun martinis such as the pomegranate martini and the white cosmopolitan and of course a great selection of sake.

According to their website www.haikuasianbistro.com they have a location opening up in White Plains soon. Hmmm – that’s not too far from my office. I hope they’ll be open for lunch!
