Bishamon has been around for the last 13 years. The inside of the store is a fusion of traditional Japanese and modern styles, decorated with kawara eaves. During the lunch hour, it is filled with the local businessmen, but during the weekend it is filled with families. The all-you-can-eat sushi that started 10 years ago is very popular. The price of $21.95(lunch time only)is a surprise, but even more amazing than that is the fact that there are normal ippin dishes included as well. The fish they buy from the market is fresh everyday, and there are times when the menu changes accordingly. You can see that they really want the customers to eat only good food. Another popular menu item is the omakase (leave it up to the kitchen) starting at $40.
You can also enjoy karaoke on the upper level, which brings excitement to the restaurant everyday. You can go alone, or go as a group. (In that case there is a cover charge of $5).
Bishamon recommends the Fire Tiger. A shrimp tempura is wrapped, and then topped with avocado and spicy tuna. It is aesthetically pleasing too. The pieces are bite size, so it is easy to eat even for ladies. Thinly sliced cucumbers are included with the shrimp tempura and crunches in your mouth. The golden combination of the hot spicy tuna and the creamy avocado easily slides down your throat. There is a mayonnaise base sauce and a sweet and spicy soy sauce base glaze drawn on the roll, and finishes it off nicely.
The steamed white fish is topped with negi (green onion), and hot olive oil is poured on it. The surface of the fish and the negi instantly gives off a nice fragrance. And then their specially made sweet soy sauce glaze goes on top. The fish meat is very plump and soft. Since there are only basic ingredients on this dish?soy sauce and olive oil?the fish needs to be good to make it work.
The spicy tuna ceviche is a dish that has a big lump of spicy tuna sitting on a half slice of avocado. There is sauce that has mayonnaise with a hint of wasabi and soy sauce on the plate. The taste of the masago (smelt roe) is great in your mouth. Dig in with your spoon and have a bite!
