There’s a new restaurant on the block at MarketStreet in Lynnfield that’s a little bit sushi, a little bit Indonesian-style street food, and it’s got a whole lot of good eats for everyone. Soi 8 / Sushi Ike features two distinct concepts in one space, so you can pick and choose plates from both for a fabulous feast, and you can either dine in while you’re out visiting the shops at the stylish outdoor marketplace, or order for takeout and delivery.
The Soi 8 side of the space is all about a Thai/Southeast Asian street food experience, and you’ll find an impressive variety of bites from Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Indonesia including appetizers like Crispy Veggie Rolls with glass noodles, carrots and cabbage; noodle dishes like Pad Kee Mow (drunken noodles) with thick rice noodles, basil, eggs, onions, tomatoes, sweet peppers, broccoli and choice of chicken, beef, shrimp or tofu; rice entrees like Nasi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Rice) with Jasmine rice, chicken, onions, garlic, birds eye chilis, served with cucumbers, tomato and fried egg; and a selection of curries including Penang Curry with basil, kafir lime leaves, onions, bell pepper, garlic and choice of chicken, beef, shrimp or tofu.
On the other side of the space is Sushi Ike, which is an 11-seat sushi counter that features edomae-style Omakase dining experiences and full sushi take-out menus. Boasting a master sushi chef with 15 years of experience, including time at NYC’s Nobu, Sushi Ike’s menu includes classic nigiri, maki, and sashimi as well as several specialty maki rolls like Heaven and Earth (spicy salmon, avocado jalapeno, and crunch topped with Hokkado scallop, sweet soy, mayo, chili oil, yuzu mustard, furikake, spicy tobiko, garlic and cilantro). You can also snack on apps like traditional Tuna Tataki with seared pepper tuna, scallion, masago and ponzu sauce and Seared Hamachi Bellies, as well as as well as Sushi Ike originals like the Dinosaur Egg, which is shrimp tempura wrapped in avocado, sweet soy and spicy mayo.
Get over to MarketStreet from now until Saturday, July 15th to check out the new spot and celebrate their grand opening and you can get a free classic maki roll with any dine-in order of $30 or more, or get 20% off your to-go and delivery orders. Soi 8 / Sushi Ike is open seven days a week from 11:30am to 9:00pm.
