Tuscaloosa Roll from Ichiban in Tuscaloosa, AL

Hands down the best sushi roll I have had in sooo long!

One night a couple of months ago the boy (pictured with his tuna roll) and I go to dinner at an unsuspecting hole in the wall place in Tuscaloosa. The parking lot was dark and I was seriously straight up scared to eat here! I kept telling him that I would rather have Taco Casa, but he assured me this would be good.

GOOD! This place was THE BOMB!
I'm a complete sucker for any sushi roll that contains the words "fried" and "cream cheese" in the description! Usually they're all the same (with the exception of the Kaboom Maki at Surin - but that deserves a separate post!) but this was different, this sushi contained sushi crack! It was the perfect combination of warm and crispy from the shrimp and cool and cream from the cream cheese.
I to this day crave this roll.
I've tried several varieties of the cream cheesy fried shrimp rolls around Birmingham trying to satisfy this craving for a roll that resides 40 miles away in Tuscaloosa but nothing has come close.
I dream about eating this roll again.
I CRAAAAVE IT !!

Sushi crack, you win, I'm officially hooked. Now let me go find a 12-step program for sushi roll addicts.
