Karma Asian Fusion, Burlington
Sure, they have a classic sushi platter. Beautifully presented, it boasts a mix of nigiri, sashimi, and rolls, punctuated by unique offerings like Yellowtail with Mango Coconut Dressing, and Japanese hamachi. But you really want the Otoro with Caviar Truffle nigiri—two delicious nuggets of high-quality bluefin tuna, wrapped around rice, topped with caviar and truffles, and then flecked with 24-karat edible gold flakes. It packs so much into a few bites, you should savor it. Too much is never enough, so also order the Otoro Explosion hand roll—a petite cone filled with rice, uni, bluefin otoro, ikura (Japanese salmon roe), and caviar. 75 Middlesex Tpke., Burlington, 781-365-0687, burlington.karmaasianfusion.com
