Piranha Killer Sushi

The marry Me Roll...I do!
Piranha Killer Sushi undoubtedly has one of the best happy hours in town.  For they offer something so rare, it is virtually unheard of: The Reverse Happy Hour.  The late hours and convenient downtown location make Piranha a perfect stop for some after-drinks dinner. Though timing and location are everything, I have yet to share my favorite part about this particular happy hour.  Piranha is the only restaurant, in all of my happy hour days, that discounts my favorite drink of all time, The Wedding Cake Martini.
Church-bells ring at just the aroma of this vanilla and amaretto treat.  And for all of you limoncello lovers, The Italian Ice Martini is equally as delicious.  My other all time favorite, ceviche, also made the happy hour cut.  You will be hooked after one bite of the salmon with mango and cilantro salsa.  It’s hard to share this delicious plate and for only $7, you might want to order 2!  I share my addiction to this heavenly ceviche with Fort Worth Monthly who has voted Piranha Killer Sushi “Best Sushi” three years in a row!  Not to mention, Executive Chef Kenzo Tran was named “Best Sushi Chef” in 2006.
Last week Piranha hosted a happy hour at Legacy on The Lake Apartments and impressed guests with their sushi bar set up and generous cocktail service. “The “Forget About It” roll was all the rave and sure enough, can be found on the happy hour menu for $7.  And the delight doesn’t stop at dinner.  Piranha knows that the late night snack often comes with a sweet tooth so they’ve half-offed all desserts, even the Tower of Chocolate!  For something light, the Green Tea Ice Cream is a welcomed refreshing and simple option.  With so many favorites, Piranha’s happy hour menu is remarkably impressive and as genuine as the staff.  Go with friends for an after downtown snack or share a late night dessert with a date, and prepare to indulge in some killer cocktails and sushi for a generously discounted price.
