I am 3/4 of the way through my year of trying new Worcester establishments, and I have a few things to say:
I live in a fabulous city.
I have wonderful friends who live in this city (and nearby).
I love to explore on my own, or meet with these wonderful friends or my beloved husband for food and drinks.
This was a good idea.
(Ok, sentimentality over for now. Although I would be happy to take suggestions for next year's project. I see someone else has already sampled Worcester whiskeys, and that isn't so much my thing anyway. Perhaps checking out every park in town and all border towns? hmmm).
So... Sake Bomb. A few years ago the Japanese restaurant Haiku was in this location. Haiku was quite good, I thought. Sake Bomb is not quite on par. But it was a lovely place to meet my friend Melissa for a Sunday noon meal. Nothing too special, but it didn't need to be.
We sat in a sunny corner table, that was nice. It wasn't crowded, just us and a couple guys at the bar watching the start of the Patriots game by the time we left. Service was quick and attentive. Melissa was my official meat and fish tester - she had some sort of dumplings with pork as an appetizer, I had seaweed salad (which came with surprise fish eggs, but I removed them). Both were satisfying. She got sushi, I got veggie sushi (cucumber and avocado, and I do realize some people wouldn't call that sushi. But I do love that combo). Not necessarily outstanding, but not bad. Melissa was of the same opinion, plus happy that they have takeout.
I have never been to Baba sushi, which I have heard is outstanding. But as a vegetarian married to someone who isn't crazy about Japanese food, it would be wasted on me. Sake bomb was just fine. Plus, it is sandwiched between That's Entertainment (where I picked up the lastest Hellboy in Hell and C.C. Lowell, where I got pumpkin-painting supplies). Bonus for location!
