City Sushi: Sushi Me Rollin' STACK Newcastle

For those that know me, know I'm a gal who loves to eat. And those who know me really well, know that sushi is once of my indulgences when it comes to food. So when my brother invited me along to check out Sushi Me Rollin' at Stack Newcastle, I was crazy excited.

If you're not clued up yet or haven't been, Stack Newcastle in a shipping container village based on the old ODEON Cinema site. It houses a of variety of shops, food and drinks vendors, this place is a hub of culture for the city. For anyone who has visited Box Park in London, you'll be familiar with the concept.

Sushi Me Rollin' is in unit 49 and can be found facing the Tyneside Cinema upstairs! We headed up for our first taste of this place. A warm welcome when we went in, talked through the menu and offered different plain or spicy options too.




I sat down to with an Asahi beer, (just one of their speciality beers they stock) and couldnt have been waiting 10 minutes and our food landed on the table in front of us! I ordered salmon sashimi, pickled cucumber maki and spicy tuna tumaki, whilst my brother ordered prawn katsu sashimi,, spicy crab and spicy tuna gunkan and the spicy tuna temaki. He's the more adventorous one of the two of us regarding food and he went all out. His feedback was all about the combo of flavours! Well balanced, fresh and surprising...




I've not always been a fan of tuna, as I've found it tough when previously expereinced, so this was a bit of a test for me and the sushi team. I can confirm, the tuna is delicious and tender and the spice flavouring is the perfect level of spice for a medium spice lover like myself! The wasabi is set to give a kick of the traditional Japanese condiment. I have noticed that the same dish can be ordered on numerous occassions and not always be presented the same - however, just as creative and colourful every single time. 





Everything is prepared fresh to order and the fish is delivered right to store which means it is very fresh - which is indicative of the taste being insanley delicious and tender. The veg is prepped every day, so you know everything that is plated up before your eyes, is utterly crisp and straight from kitchen to table. 

AND, for those of you reading who are busy city go-ers, you can grab sushi to go in convenient containers. Meaning, even those of you who can't stop for a sit in lunch wont miss out! 






So if you're looking for sushi to eat in or take out, you've just discovered your new hook up. As a small business owner myself, I love supporting other small businesses with products I enjoy... and obviously this one is a delicious end result! Head to Sushi Me Rollin' - you wont be dissapointed!
