A Baton Rouge staple for Japanese cuisine and excellent sushi, Waka House never fails to deliver. But besides the fresh fish, one popular item tops the list in presentation and taste: their Mango Shrimp Tempura Rolls ($10.99).
Giant crunchy shrimp tempura and cream cheese are wrapped tightly inside a traditional sushi-meshi, or sushi rice roll. It’s topped with a generous portion of fresh peeled mango, along with avocado and masago. The seasoned, crunchy texture of the tempura shrimp combined with the sweet flavor of the fresh mango is an excellent pairing.
If that’s not enough to do wonders for your taste buds, the trio of flavorful sauces served with this roll—ginger, spicy wasabi and a house favorite sweet pineapple—will definitely make you smile.
