Make it Rain (When You Want Sushi in the Suburbs) CLOSED

When I was growing up in Cordova, the closest sushi restaurant was the Sekisui at Humphreys and Walnut Grove. This afternoon, I ventured out to the 'burbs to try Rain, one of several sushi joints on Germantown Rd.

Rain bills itself as a "premier sushi bar and bistro". The interior is dark and sleek, in a way that made me forget for a few minutes that the restaurant is located in a shopping center. The main dining room is decorated with brushed metal, blond wood and fish tanks, which give it a sort of lounge-y vibe.

Rain has a full Japanese menu, but I decided to stick with sushi. I ordered two rolls and some crabstick nigiri (a big chunk of cooked crab on a slab of rice).  The sushi menu is broken up into sections - there's a list of basic favorites, cooked specialty rolls and raw specialty rolls. Each roll is eight pieces of sushi.

My Philly roll had big chunks of salmon, avocado and a cream cheese. It was tasty with a tiny bit of wasabi and ginger, but a little on the mushy side. I also had a Dark Lulu Roll from the raw menu. It was awesome - the roll was filled with crab, avocado and cilantro and topped with shrimp, salmon and sweet chili sauce.

Rain is open from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. for lunch, and nightly for dinner at 5 p.m.

The Rain roll is great, and their calamari is also pretty darn good.

The Rain salad and tuna pizza are TO DIE FOR! Just don't go on a night where there's live music or you won't be able to hear your companion over the din.
