Sushi coming to Marker 10 Bar

Happy to report that the Marker 10 Bar, located inside the Hyatt Regency Austin is bringing in a fabulous sushi chef and station - serving to the public - starting this Wednesday from 5pm - 9pm.

Last week I sampled a few offerings on the menu, which is sure to make the mouth water, the eyes glisten and the tummy gurgle with glee. I give two thumbs up on the sushi and can't wait to see the menu grow with even more creative selections.

Come, my dears....let's look at some of the pictures I took.

Salmon Ceviche - elegantly served in a martini glass. At first I was hesitant, as I dislike peppers. But one taste of this ceviche had me back for more.

Seaweed and Cucumber Salad

Spicy Tuna Hand Roll - I was very impressed with the size and shape of this roll. It looks like a cone, which means more tuna chunks oozing out. The tuna had a pleasant kick to it - A+

Buttery salmon, oh my!

The Tuna Tataki was, by far, my favorite selection. Quite an interesting combination of ahi tuna, avocado, and shaved onions. The presentation in a chilled martini glass not only added a touch of sophistication, but improved the taste of the tuna. My favorite part was the taste of the top pieces and bottom pieces had such a different range of flavors.

Marker 10 is soon to become a favorite stop in my sushi locales. Saki and Asian beers are also on the way. Can I make this more enticing? The bats on the Congress Bridge have also returned. There...I did it. 3 fantastic reasons to try out Marker 10.

Mmmmm I'm in love

with the Sushi Train. Too bad it' a bit far away from my location (near the Yellow Rose), otherwise I would be a daily customer.



Lindsay and I decided to stop in before our show at Cap City Comedy. The conveyor belt was full of dishes and they are all on color coded plates. There is a price chart above your head so you can see how much each plate is. Basically, you pick the plate that looks appetizing and the server totals up your empties at the end. We polished off a good amount!



I honestly love this concept. It's fast and you pick what you want to eat. Plus you can sit and chat without feeling the need to stuff your face. And did I mention how cheap it was? We spent $30 and that included a bottle of hot sake. $30 for 2 people???!! Fanfuckingtastic!

Lindsay likes the train!

There was a super awesome selection of rolls and sashimi cuts. Even a sushi novice would have a good time here.

Mmmmm delicious and only $1.50!

So you can tell I'm a fan only after 1 try.  We finished off the night at Cap City Comedy watching Brian Posehn.  Lindsay bought tickets and made sure we got good seats, hence the "reserved" sign.

(I really wish the iphone had a flash on it. These pictures are sucky in the dark.  I had to lighten them up in iphoto.)

We really did have a great seat.  All the better to see Brian!

There's Brian. He was hilarious!  SLAYER!
