Hoka Hoka Sushi – Redondo Beach

The thing about cravings is that you never know when they’ll hit and you never what they’ll hit you with. You could be doing anything when a passion for pancakes throws a punch, and you could be in the middle of everything when a when a sushi craving sets you salivating.

And when my sushi craving came out of the blue, it seemed like nothing would make me happier than happy hour at Hoka Hoka. A mere ten dollars buys one humongous special roll and four nigiri staples, and they’re not exactly stingy with the sushi here.  

I have an unhealthy obsession with salmon sushi, and why settle for just one layer when you can double down? The Double Double Roll has a healthy helping of avocado and salmon on the inside with avocado-salmon stripes on the outside. It wasn’t the freshest salmon, but for $10 I can’t really complain.

I think the other roll was the Hot Night…that’s how memorable it was. It wasn’t very hot despite the tuna topped with sriracha. The texture of the tuna was a little off and the murky eel sauce didn’t do it any favors. 

When a craving strikes, sometimes you hit the spot and sometimes you settle. Hoka Hoka wasn’t half bad, but it was like seeing Divergence because they ran out of tickets for The Hunger Games.
