On Saturday, Glenn and I went to Plano to hang out with Bryan, Glenn's brother. Bryan was in town to visit some childhood friends so we made a day trip out of it. We decided we wanted sushi (of course) and we saw Zenna Restaurant. A couple of Glenn's friends from Plano have been and they enjoyed it so we decided to try it.
It is off the highway and serves Japanese and Thai cuisine! BOTH ARE MY FAVORITES!!!
Bryan (poor thing) had to endure and try what we ordered because we are selfish and was super excited to eat asian cuisine that is not from central Texas!
BTW due to all the pics I will post in this entry the pictures will be smaller. Sorry!
This was a VERY pleasant surprise. Since it is a Thai/Japanese restaurant, instead of the typical miso soup, they served a thai coconut soup to start us out with. It had mushrooms and brocolli in a creamy/lemony soup base. VERY good. 
We also ordered a Thai egg omlette that had turnips in it. It tasted like an old breakfast dish my mom would make "back in the day". Tasted like good ol' fried egg to me!
We ordered a captepillar roll. Not impressed. I couldn't taste the eel at all and the avocado was too thick and its taste masked any other flavor the roll offered! :(
As usual, we ordered a sashmi combo. The pieces were thick! The fish wasn't the freshest I've tasted but it was a good assortment and variety. We got tuna, salmon, escolar (fave!), white tuna, and stupid imitation crabstick meat. 
We also got a sushi combination. Big disappointment. We expected a delicious variety of fish like the sashmi plate but instead we got huge portions of the "reject" fish! Sure we got tuna, egg, and white fish but we also got regular shrimp, octopus, and two different roe! The roe was too bitter in that large of a quantity. We enjoyed the sashmi much more.
Regular fat ass me had to get dessert so we got TWO. On the left is a coconut custard on black sticky rice and on the right is a sticky rice with mango dessert. Both were minimally sweet, as is with most asian desserts, but still tasty.
Overall the sushi at Zenna wasn't spectacular. I will still go to try more of the Thai dishes but I was not impressed with the sushi served. This place is opened till 3 am so kudos to them for providing drunken patrons an ethnic choice!
