SLOWfish Description:
SLOWfish is a one-of-a-kind contemporary Asian restaurant in Orange County. Taking cues from the Slow Food movement, SLOWfish owner John Lee has taken already healthy Korean- and Japanese-style foods and made them even better for you. Never mind that the restaurant is located in a practically abandoned strip mall in a remote section of Huntington Beach. Inside, the vibe is pleasing enough with black banquettes, white leather chairs and soothing classical music. SLOWfish uses low-glycemic-index black rice rather than bleached white rice. Chef Sean An uses this nutty, high fiber rice exclusively in his flavorful sushi, sashimi, rolls and other fusion fare. First try the "fat avo," which comes as a sliced ripe avocado with seasoned albacore tuna hidden inside the avocado's flesh. Fresh, delicate fish and spicy sauces highlight chef An's attractive dishes like the seaweed salad, jalatuna appetizer, orange scallops and a tender beef rib. Choose from a rather good selection of Napa Valley and Sonoma County wines as well as Japanese beers and sakés.
