Fresh Daily, Highest Grade SUSHI!!! Every day Sim Aman travels to our Angels Camp Market. Using the highest quality and freshest of ingredients, he hand rolls delicious and nutritious sushi. Sushi refers to rice that has been seasoned with vinegar, sugar, and salt and contrary to popular belief, does not mean raw fish at all. It is really just Japanese "fast food" consisting of cooked rice combined with other ingredients, most commonly seafood. Sushi is low in fat, high in protein and other vitamins and minerals. So step away from those fries, stop in for a delicious snack or lunchtime Sushi. On special Avocado Rolls $4.99 / 8 pieces.
