Remember the days when Geist residents longed for a sushi house of any kind to move into the neighborhood? Well, today there are finally a couple options nearby, and now another new Sushi spot is coming to town. You may have gotten a salmon roll post card in the mail announcing The Tegry Bistro Sushi Bar (a favorite in Brownsburg for 8 years and at Traders Point) is opening in the Geist Pavilion at 116th Street and Olio Road.
“We are excited to open in Geist,” says Joseph Dagvadorj, co-owner and manager of Traders Point Tegry Bistro.
“We like to move into areas where we can be part of a community,” says Joseph. “We’ve gotten to know the families that are regulars and have watched their kids grow up!” Joseph says they built a nice racing-team clientele on the West Side where many in the racing industry are from California and know their sushi.
“You can’t fake sushi,” laughs Joseph. “Under any sauce or rice, there has to be good, fresh fish.”
Joseph says they fly fresh fish in from Hawaii. During my visit a package of fish packed in dry ice arrived at the door! “It can be here overnight,” says Joseph.
Tegry sushi offers a number of fun and creatively-named rolls such as the Lollipop Roll, the Graduation Roll, and the popular crunchy Super Spider Roll. I did ask about one roll called the “Trish” Roll. “Sometimes a customer is such a regular, we name a roll after them!” laughs Joseph.
We”ll see who gets their name on a roll in Geist! The Tegry also offers an extensive wine list and nearly two dozen kinds of saki ranging from $6 to more than $100 a bottle.
So sushi fans, get ready! The Tegry Sushi Bistro should be ready for business sometime in February!
