Tried Naked Noodle on Bold Street which I've been wanting to try for a while. I actually thought it was a noodle bar as the name suggests but does sushi - the best I've had in Liverpool and since it's on the eat out to help out scheme I had to try it and make the most of the half price. (Annoying my birthday is tomorrow and not on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday when the offer is on!) Not had sushi in ages so needed my sushi fix. I've really missed my chance with it as it's been happening all through August to get people out again. The last day is bank holiday Monday next week which will be busy anyway.
We got there just after 6 and manged to get a seat straight away but as soon as we sat down there was a queue outside.
All staff wore face masks and when we were seated we were given a sheet to write our name and phone number with the time we entered and a bottle of hand gel was put on the table. They were definitely more cautious than Yum Cha.
I went with Jo and we went all out and ordered the most expensive platter - we both love sushi and we're getting it for half price so of course we went for the most expensive thing!
Set C (28 pcs) - £25.99
5 salmon sashimi, 5 tuna sashimi, 3 salmon nigiri, 3 tuna nigiri, 6 salmon roll, 6 tuna roll, seaweed salad & edamame
The platter only cost £13 and it was so good. All the sushi people were ordering was presented so nice and is so much better than Etsu.
Chicken Gyoza - £6
This was better than what we had at Yum Cha on Sunday. It might have cost more but you got more. It wasn't just a lump of chicken meat in pastry! It was done properly mixed with veg and minced.
Altogether it come to £16 which was really good. I could have easily ate more sushi but I'm going back on Sunday with Holly.
Jo actually bought a me a little carrot cake and sang Happy Birthday to me on her own. It was really sweet and nice and I knew she was going to do it as it's our tradition now she just couldn't get them to bring it out as it's only small in there.
After we went to Maccies to get an ice cream. They're not doing cones due to hygiene so we got 2 plain McFlurries and it was 2 for 1 as the two of them cos us £1 which is what they usually are each. Maccies are doing the eat out to help out too.
Town and Bold Street were so busy. It's all been pedestrianised now as part of Liverpool without walls so restaurants can have seats outside to social distance. Ko bar and grill, Kasbah and a steak house (don't know the name) had really long queues outside of them. Pretty much every restaurant was busy as they're doing the offer. If people are eating out they should be going to independent restaurants rather than the big chains or fast food. Should be taking the chance to try some where you wouldn't usually go or some where you've always wanted to try.
The ox from last Chinese New Year zodiac art commission is still up where me and Jo went round and found all 12 zodiac animals and won a meal for 2 with The Guide Liverpool. All other 11 animals have gone though sadly!
Thanks for dinner Jo!
