Kam's Bubble Tea and Sushi, 1813 Fruitville Road, Sarasota, 941-960-1610

Kam’s Bubble Tea and Sushi occupies one of the charming cottage businesses on Fruitville Road in downtown Sarasota. There’s not a huge amount of atmosphere in the new restaurant but light streams through the windows and the food and specialty drinks are fast, fresh, affordable and delicious. Bubble Tea is a drink that originated in Taiwan and includes large, sweet, chewable tapioca balls. We ordered a Watermelon Smoothie, which consisted of fresh watermelon smoothly blended with ice, and my friend Molly declared it to be a “sip of Summer.” We ordered sashimi and sushi rolls and watched as they were prepared in the open kitchen. The salmon and tuna sashimi was sliced beautifully and the portion was generous. We were given the option of brown or white rice for the sushi rolls. The tuna salad garden roll was the perfect combination of a salad and sushi and served with spicy mayo. Presentation is important and they even took the time to form our ginger into a rose. The restaurant is set up as a fast casual café–one can dine in, as we did, but most of the other patrons appeared to be taking their meals and their bubble teas to go.
