What is A Specialty Roll, Exactly? 

First thing’s first! What does “specialty roll” even mean? 

Specialty rolls are actually called “Futomaki”. Futomaki refers to oversized sushi rolls made by rolling nori (seaweed), sushi rice, and a variety of veggies and fish. It is then cut into bite sized pieces and served. Usually, sushi restaurants develop their own specialty Maki Rolls with unique combinations of ingredients and sauces. 

Meet Your New Favorite

  1. V's Roll

    Our signature roll features shrimp tempura as its main ingredient. Shrimp tempura is especially popular with Sushi newbies because it’s cooked and doesn’t have an especially fishy taste. Combine it with fresh avocado, jalapeno and cilantro and you’ve got a winner! V’s roll takes delicious to the next level with a topping of sesame seared tuna with Sweet Chili Sauce.

  2. FireCracker Roll

    Okay, you read this roll’s description and you’re thinking - what in the world is Tobiko? The answer? Fish eggs! They don’t have a lot of taste, but they provide some great texture. A delightful little “snap, crackle, pop” in your mouth. Hence the name! Sushi is about the full culinary experience. Paired with creamy avocado, asparagus and spicy tuna, this roll is definitely an experience. 

  3. Red Dragon Roll

    If you’re looking for some mouthwatering heat with your special roll, we suggest the Red Dragon. A spicy, savory roll packed with shrimp tempura and spicy tuna. The topping is Spicy Mayo and tangy Sriracha. 

  4. Stacy's Mom

    This roll has got it goin on. Sorry, we couldn’t help it! A little bit of sweet, thanks to the cream cheese. A little bit hot, due to the spicy salmon and mayo. Eel sauce and fried onion give it the perfect level of savory. This roll really has it all. 

  5. Lady Bug Roll

    This eight piece roll features spicy crab, fresh cilantro and jalapenos. It’s wrapped with flavourful slices of thin tuna and topped with wasabi cream. Combined with tangy, citrus Ponzu sauce, this roll has just the right amount of heat.

  6. Fire Fly

    This roll is jam packed with flavor and texture. Crunchy tempura flakes, crackly masago sauce (similar to tombuka), and creamy avocado and cream cheese. The fish used for our Fire Fly roll is a combination of spicy crab mix and seared yellowtail. This roll is sure to light up your meal!
