From Pick Up Spot, Now Dining, Koi Sushi is Stepping it Up

Tiffany Simmonds, Gabrielle Burgess a.k.a Suga of Suga Lifestyle, Kimario Rose-Stewart and Gillian Jackson at Koi Sushi Restaurant on Hillcrest Avenue last Saturday night.

Here I am again, GNO, Whiskey Sour in hand, don’t forget my cherry.

Happy to dine at an authentic Sushi spot in Kingston other than East/ Majestic. As Koi Sushi Restaurant (@koisushija) is currently ironing out a few details in their upgrade from a pick up spot to a dining restaurant, they definitely have the potential to occupy the space above Fromage on Hillcrest Avenue a bit longer than Oak Wine Bar.

Highlights:
• Kabuki: double fried shrimp roll

• Volcano: Kanikama (crab stick), masago & cooked white fish roll (An eruption of flavours!)


• Kai Poke Bowl + Sake: Tuna, Salmon, Kani crab, edamame + more

We appreciated our server, Jerome’s hospitality despite us girls giving him pokes of trouble here and there. Pun intended. He was quite attentive, ensuring we left satisfied.

Dessert was not available from Koi Sushi’s tempting menu to try as yet, but we could order dessert from Fromage that always has salivating options. Their Tiramisu was a hit with one of the Girls.

Suga will definitely revisit and I am looking forward to Dessert worth the calories after some authentic Sushi paired with their Sake that I also enjoyed.

TGIF and Cheers from Tacbar!

I know I took a while to visit this one Suga fam, but from Suga Taster reports, I wasn’t quite pulled in yet.

I visited on a GNO mid August. We had the Tacbar Platter (any 8 tacos for J$3950). We chose the Ahi Tuna, Oxtail, Shrimp and Lobster Tacos.

The Ahi Tuna Taco needed a tasty, spicy balsamic vinaigrette.

I’m not sure why crushed chips were in the Oxtail Taco, but it was an unwelcomed crunch for me, not a hit. Like most folks, I prefer my Oxtail tender and boneless without that texture.

The Shrimp Taco was bland without the lime they provided with it. So definitely added that splash of lime.

The Lobster Taco was the best selection for us, but why put crumbled feta in it to overpower the Lobster? The taste of Lobster can be easily overpowered and feta is known for it’s sharp, pungent taste.

Anyhow, I love Chef Haleem Card’s food, but I was a bit disappointed. Perhaps they may have been a bit overwhelmed in the kitchen by the fact that it was Heineken’s Bar hopping series night. But kudos to them for still keeping a high quality of service by the restaurant. Those ladies were awesome and the music and vibes were fantastic.

It’s still Chilitos for me for authentic Mexican, but I will revisit.

Have a great weekend!

Suga Finally Revisited 22 Jerk since their Opening Week…

Suga Finally Revisited 22 Jerk (Ig:@22jerk) on Barbican road since their Opening Week.

I wasn’t blown away by the quality of the food, but I was indeed satisfied. They are generous with the side of plantains too, an entire plate.

I hear there are good and well, ‘not so good’ days there. Probably depends on who’s behind the fire.

Decent, comfortable open air spot with sufficient parking to grab a quick Lunch or Dinner and a drink though.

Big up Hillary for her great service. She will take care of you. I shall return.

Did You See Suga Tasters Stumbling into Anthony & his ER Crew at Nirvanna Global!

A bit over a month ago, Suga and fellow Suga Taster and friend, Tennyson Arnold visited Nirvanna Global (Ig: @nirvannaglobalja) for lunch, a familiar spot for us both.

We were pleasantly greeted by owner, Mahek Chatani when we arrived and we could also see that Anthony Miller and his Entertainment Report (ER) crew were in the house.

Nirvanna Global is currently one of my favourite go-to restaurants, so we had no issues participating in their feature and giving our feedback. Afterall, I literally had takeout from them the day before.

Enjoy a bit of Suga ‘uncut’, speaking about the Nirvanna trilogy that began with the authentic Nirvanna Indian, then Masala Wok, now the new Nirvanna Global.

Then check out Nirvanna Global’s full feature on ER broadcasted on Television Jamaica on August 27th!

Watch Nirvanna Global featured on TVJ’s ER – 26/8/22 here:

Visit Nirvanna Gobal in Progressive Plaza, Barbican. We had Onion Rings, Avocado Toast, Grilled Lobster and Salmon.

The menu is posted on their Instagram page highlights and they continue to be #SugaEndorsed.

Happy Sunday!
